Super Mario RPG was on the Super Nintendo. But you are right about Paper Mario.. totally forgot.. it is kind of an action RPG but Ogre Battle is a strategy RPG so I guess there aren't any good pure RPGS on the 64.. I mean I never actually played Quest 64 but it looks pretty bad lol.
@@KaNawogirusa It's definitely not turn based strategy. The individual combat is turn based, but there's no strategy in that. That just plays out with almost no input from the player. The strategy is put in outside of combat, where everything runs real time, not turn based.
Triangle Strategy is a modern take on SRPGs, inspired by Ogre and Shining Force with Game of Thrones esque story and beautiful soundtrack, get that one!
The thing I hate about Fire Emblem is that there are no free battles. You are forced to make some choice and put some exp in limited characters. That's not a RPG to me but just a tactical game. Fire Emblem is tactical game IMO. The RPG elements are too low. They should've given better gear when you finish a chapter. If you do it fast you get the best equpment on that point. There isn't need to level up since it's very limited and its a linear game. Keep following the story and that's it. You can better go watch a movie instead of this. you want to have some more input yourself playing a game. I hate limited gaming in a game
If you like the music in the game you should know that all of the music was compressed to fit the cartridge. They released a OST in Japan with the compressed and uncompressed versions of the songs on it. The music quality on the uncompressed versions is really impressive.
@@djhero0071 The average weight of a 64 game is around 3.2 oz. Gold is currently around 1750 per once. That means it would be around 5600 bucks. Quite a bit more than 100.
I'd love to see games like this re-mastered on today's consoles. Keep the story and game play, just update the graphics, music, etc and maybe add some content. I don't think there currently any games like this. I loved this one, Shining Force 1 & 2 on Sega Genesis and Brigandine on Playstation.
Grew up watching my dad play this, barely understanding what was going on. Its been 13 years since he passed, but watching this kinda feels like sitting in his lap again.
This is one of the few games you REEEEEEALLY don't want to play on an emulator. Part of it is because it's just a beautiful masterpiece that deserves to be played on console. The other reason is that there's _not a _*_single_*_ goddamn ROM that works properly_. Apparently the people at Quest coded it in such a way that playing it in a computer fucks up the graphics and sometimes even makes the game crash. Man, I wish I had a Wii so I could play this again. :/
actually,i played it on an emulator,and the problem seemed to be the version of the project64 emulator,which mine was like 1.6 or 1.7 and it was just...yeah...but when i tried with 2.SOMETHING it was fine.the graphics were good,i didn't run into any issue
actually,now that i think of it,i did run into a SINGLE issue,which actually only seemed to happen after i beat the game but could be because i didn't really use many items,but,as stated above,after i beat the game,if i used a few items in the troop edits menu thingy (like status up items,alignment items,and so on),when trying to exit that menu,the game would crash.But it it only seemed to happen with units that weren't in a proper troop.I say it only seems to happen AFTER I BEAT THE GAME because i remember using those items before and nothing happening.I wonder if this can have something to do with the fact that the timer of that save file was at 99:99:59 for a LONG time,but anyway,just watch out while using items like that,but as i said multiple times,that happens mostly with units that are not in a proper troop,and it also didn't seem to happen before i beat the game,so as long as you at least save before doing that,you shouldn't have any problems,as that won't explode your save or something
Come tonight Come to the ogre site Come to the ogre battle fight He gives a great big cry and he can swallow up the ocean With a mighty tongue, he catches flies and the palm of his hand incredible size One great big eye has to focus in your direction Now the battle is on, yeah, yeah, yeah
interesting, soo wonderfull if the tactic part of this game pass it to the tactic ogre parts, the dispach of teams would be great, many great things lost in the way
Would love a grand strategy kingdom building game with these squad building mechanics and tactics. Soul Nomad hit the itch for me with the squad building.
@Hyzoran Yeah, let's just rip the soul out of Ogre Battle 64. The battle system here is unique and addictive, if you like Tactics Ogre, fine, but don't get your chips in my peanut butter!
This game really was beautiful, and it is basically last generation 2D games, games like this would obv be in 3D now, and I honestly appreciate the graphics more because of that.
There's no real exploration in this game. There is technically an overworld, but it utilizes a point-and-click interface. Although there are sometimes hidden (invisible) items on the battle maps, and you can sometimes recruit certain types of monsters in specific areas, if you want to search around for those.
man i loved this game, i truly miss it. I downloaded it on my phone not too long ago but it just isn't the same anymore as playing it on the classic N64 and on an actual TV. I let Magnus keep his name :P
Medachod Now that N64 games are starting to come out for the Wii U Virtual Console, I hope this comes out again. This is the only good RPG the N64 had.
MaxxTheSlash I personally hope we get Mischief Makers on there as I loved how good of a game that was for an N64 title. Truly showcased what the system could do with 2D and at 60fps to boot. In my opinion, we should have had MORE N64 titles that did 2D since the controller was capable of switching GRIPS between 2D and 3D games. And, given they finally released Earthbound on it for the first time, I have faith that the first Mario Party will finally see the light of day again. That game is still my favorite Mario Party on that system thanks to its joystick games that I still think are the dumbest reason to ban a video game. They even provided a protective glove for those games due to complaints. And guess what happened next? People took off the gloves, played the joystick games again and stated the same complaints about the games causing hand problems. Bunch of morons.
Medachod I'm down for Mischief Makers too. I never played it and always hoped it would come out for the original Wii's Virtual Console, but it never did.
MaxxTheSlash Now that N64 is on Wii U, you better start raising those hopes up again. Nintendo has put Duck Hunt, Earthbound among other games we never thought would be put on there. So chances are, they might consider cult favorites :)
Enix I guess did publish the SNES version and seems to hold publishing rights to the titles in the franchise currently. Though they were not involved in the creation of this game or the original titles. This series has no involvement with Square, besides current publishing rights, and Enix had no role in development.
I remember playing this when I was 10 and not knowing how to save the game, so I’d have to replay the game from scratch every time I put in the cartridge
@FonMasterIon Thanks for the info, and god damn do I hate were square has gone nowadays...it's a shame. But anywho, it sounds good, and sorry, but I gotta confess that I have no way to play this besides virtual console :( I don't emulate for personal reasons. Thank you though. Frickin' square...
eh... the game actually plays in a completly different way than FFT, its a mix of real time strategy with turn-based automatic combat so I dont really know if it would please a FFT fan
if you like FFT you would love this game. The story is very, very similar to FFT but with branching paths and multiple endings. . For a fun time do an all evil campaign, get vampires and dark knights.
Why would you turn off the animations? They barely take any time, and greatly improve the immersion of the game. I get it on the first ogre battle. The animations were slow and slowed down the combat. But they sped up the animations, so they're almost as fast as no animations. I came here specifically looking for these animations...
Well yeah, because sprites over fifth gen polygons would age better. I personally dislike strategy rpg's and prefer turn based. Never got into Fire Emblem because of this.
you got a point, SKYrim and all those open world games are gay as fuck., this was literally the only RPG I ever played, it's the only RPG worth playing to be honest, unless you're down with MArio RPG XD
Not only is this game an RPG, it is also essentially an RTS. The story is actually really good, coming from someone that thinks japanese fantasy can be a little over the top. You won't find any other game remotely like it.

One of the best games ever. Need more like this.
Symphony of War: The Nephilim Saga
@@delsa403 I'd like to say thats the only one with similar mechanics that I've seen, ever.
And we got it with Unicorn Overlord! :D
To everyone who says the 64 had no good RPGs... here it is- the ONE good RPG on the 64.
Paper Mario was a good rpg on the system as well
I dunno Mario RPG and Paper Mario are kidna fun. Just way to easy for someone who plays real RPGs.
Super Mario RPG was on the Super Nintendo. But you are right about Paper Mario.. totally forgot.. it is kind of an action RPG but Ogre Battle is a strategy RPG so I guess there aren't any good pure RPGS on the 64.. I mean I never actually played Quest 64 but it looks pretty bad lol.
this is literally the ONLY RPG game that was worth playing for N64
Marcus Williams Hybrid Heaven was pretty good too.
I miss this game so much, one of my first RTS's
You mean TBS?
You mean POS?
You mean ABC?
@@KaNawogirusa It's definitely not turn based strategy. The individual combat is turn based, but there's no strategy in that. That just plays out with almost no input from the player. The strategy is put in outside of combat, where everything runs real time, not turn based.
Such a classic game... Still haven't found a strategy rpg that could compare.
If you haven't heard of it, check out Symphony of War: Nephilim Saga, it seems to be similar to this game.
Triangle Strategy is a modern take on SRPGs, inspired by Ogre and Shining Force with Game of Thrones esque story and beautiful soundtrack, get that one!
Unicorn Overlord looks a lot like this game
Ff tactics and banner saga maybe?
One of my favorite games ever. I love Fire Emblem, but it doesn't hold a candle against this.

Many Fire Emblem games give you the option to grind...
@@capcom23 were you living under a rock m8? grinding became a thing since Sacred Stones on the Gameboy Advance
To this day Atlus publishes quirky games that might never have seen a North American release. This company doesn't get enough credit.
to this day in fact

Where can I find them?
That was a very satisfying 10 minutes! I want to see more now!
@FonMasterIon Yeah I have this on the 64. To me personally it is worth its weight in gold, I had so much fun playing this game.
I know this is from 10 years ago but even a loose, used copy of this game goes for $100. It is LITERALLY worth it’s weight in gold.
@@djhero0071 The average weight of a 64 game is around 3.2 oz. Gold is currently around 1750 per once. That means it would be around 5600 bucks. Quite a bit more than 100.

this is probably the best rpg ever made

Underrated game, even between the OB series.

the RPG for n64
you know u can switch the cursor to select enemy units not just terrain or bases
almost like playing DnD great game for its time
Would love a grand strategy kingdom building game with these squad building mechanics and tactics. Soul Nomad hit the itch for me with the squad building.
Soul Nomad was a great alternative to Ogre Battle. Even if it was sometimes tedious trying to get the exact rooms you wanted for your squads.
The music hasn't changed much from March of the black queen

I got two questions:
How's the story? Is it well written?
And two, are there plenty of tutorials?
Yes
@@aaronhoyes1781 a reply almost 8 years later only saying "yes", lol.
Is there any exploration/rpg or is this purely tactical? (not that I mind just curious)

Although there are sometimes hidden (invisible) items on the battle maps, and you can sometimes recruit certain types of monsters in specific areas, if you want to search around for those.
Well Yesterday it was released here in Europe for 1200 wii points so it can't be too far for you in the US
Luckily I got a Wii U so I can play this
great RPG but getting certain items or classes in this game was sooo fuckin tedious
man i loved this game, i truly miss it. I downloaded it on my phone not too long ago but it just isn't the same anymore as playing it on the classic N64 and on an actual TV. I let Magnus keep his name :P
Gallant always enjoy the Revolutionary army or it depends of your choices during the gameplay?
my favorite rpg on the 64 next to paper mario

seriously? no questionnaire at the start of the game like MOTBQ?
I'm surprised they didn't make a fire emblem game.
God, I remember how I used to love square, and now I just hate their guts. Ugh.
What does Square have to do with Ogre Battle 64? This was developed by Quest Corporation and published by Atlus.
Greg Jones Square Enix holds the rights to the Ogre series I believe.

@@agoose2511
Yeah
If each battle was a classic turn-based RPG battle with Fight, Spell/Skill, Item, Flee, this game would be awesome
Dude a single map would take so friggin long, like days.
It is unless you set it to auto.
Can anyone tell me if this has strong language I understand that's weird to ask
I remember playing this when I was 10 and not knowing how to save the game, so I’d have to replay the game from scratch every time I put in the cartridge

Great game, it's a Shame it lacks missions. Maybe they ran out of space and didn't want to degrade the rest of the stuff.
Reminds about Fire Emblem, but much slower.
"reminds me* of* fire emblem" just thought I'd help you with your english, it seems a little broken.
abermok It's an RTS style RPG, though, not a turned based one like Fire Emblem.
Not gonna lie, the game looks pretty bad, but is it good? Would you recommend this to a Final Fantasy Tactics lover?
