Tactics Ogre Reborn

[X Prime]

Use One Vision if the standard gameplay sucks to you, I'd say.

Picked this game up finally.

I can't really speak on the gameplay yet, but based on the music I know the game at least isn't going to be sub-par. When you spend a disproportionate amount of time on a game's world map just to listen to the tunes, the game can't be trash. And I am Very pleased with the period-appropriate dialogue so far. This isn't a shitty Nintendo translation where the treehouse localizers make cringey jokes and/or politicize the content. I am already seeing words like "Wizened" right off the bat with character's using proper speech cadence.

Let me start off by saying, glad you're having a good time. The composers are Hitoshi Sakimoto and Masaharu Iwata who both formed a music studio called Basiscape, you make have heard their other works elsewhere. What makes it sweeter is they got the London Symphony Orchestra to perform for the soundtrack twice.

This game is an example of good localization because Matsuno can speak English and can cooperate with Smith. Smith is a fan of the Song of Ice and Fire series so if you're wondering why they're talking like Game of Thrones characters, that's why. In fact, the PSP version dropped shortly before the first episode aired.

I am absolutely blown away by how Vagrant Story looks. It's a PS1 game and obviously looks old and blocky... but when you understand how limited things were back in those days, the shit I am seeing is making me smile from ear to ear. I can't believe how it looks and what they are doing with the cinematography. Again >>>PS1 game<<<, but it's doing things I have NEVER seen another PS1 game do. Much like Tactics Ogre I'm keeping it at arms length just so I can marvel at it longer. I've been pretty burned out about the general ass (((state))) of the current games industry, but over the last couple years diving into the past I've found nothing but diamonds there. I really have to just nut up and play them,

Being some of the last games released on the PS1, Matsuno wanted to push the system to its limits. He also has a habit of trying to make something new that defies convention. A reason why he hasn't made a new Tactics Ogre title is because he doesn't like making the same game twice.

Some choice tracks from the same composers

Spoiler: length

But Matsuno did make the same game twice. Final Fantasy Tactics has some of the same general writing conventions as Tactics Ogre.
