The Greatest Guide Site You've Ever Seen: tacticsogre.com... Tactics Ogre Knight of Lodis, a Beginner's Guide that's more of a gush on how cool this game is.
This was the game. This was the game that kept me up way passed my bed time . I am an avid world builder and this game always creeps into any world i make. Im so happy to hear that it was a shared feeling amongst so many others
I spent way too much time playing this as a kid! I even replayed it a couple years back and got hooked instantly. Glad to see it's still getting the love it deserves!
Going to to my rerun ❤. I had it too for a short time. I appreciated because I had played the SFC version patched in english and Motbq on snes emulator xD
@@CoffeePotato I suggest you put time stamps in video like these. It would be really helpful. Also can you tell me how to get dragoon? I got the emblem and stuff but the dragoon isn't showing up. Is it because of low level or low stats?
@@TheHeavieKiwie I hear that a lot, and will once I figure out a good way to do it for all of them faster. It depends, it's got higher requirements, I believe 85-105 for Agi and STR? Tacticsogre.com remains the best place to find all of it almost two decades later.
Man, this one's nostalgic. This one was technically my first Tactics Ogre game, even if I never owned it. After all, this game never made it to Europe. Back when I first learned about emus (fun birds btw!) I played all kinds of games and this one stuck out to me because it looked like FFTA, a game I actually owned and liked a whole lot. The device I used back then only ran the game at a snail's pace, but I really liked it regardless. It's indirectly responsible for me getting LUCT on my PSP years after the fact because I recognized the name. I recently returned to KoL on a whim and it's still really fun. My favorite thing about it by far, is that monster units actually feel pretty nice to use in low power scenarios like this. Nowadays, they make great mobile tanks in Reborn, but in KoL, they actually are just decent units as a whole because their equipment screen isn't just collecting dust. I also completely forgot how dragons worked in this one, so when mine suddenly evolved mid-fight yesterday, that was pretty hype.
I spent a lot of my early teens absolutely in love with this game, so it feels really great to hear it get the praise it deserves. In my mind it's one of the best games on the Gameboy Advance, no question.
Absolutely, I love how they understood the limitations of the platform and just decided to double down on really solid animations. This series has always been good at "limitation? No, we're making that a feature."
I also spent an insane amount of time on this game getting all the secret stuff and every ending. Having played "LUCT" before this the Alphonse-Lans ending totally blew my mind.
I found this game very fun back in the day even though I never finished it, what got me really interested on it in comparison to FFTA (what I was playing before) was that you could recruit monsters and use them on your team even if they weren't all that great and the emblem system, really liked the variety of teams and builds you could make
Imagine this: You buy Reborn, finish the game and a text pops up: You unlocked The Knight of Lodis. And they all played us like a damn fiddle hiding the fact that they secretly remade that and put it into the game too👀
I would love to see all of the games unlocked like this. Especially if KoL was hidden behind the assassination ending like "we must go further back in time to find the true happy ending."
This is one my favorite games growing up and ff tactics and KoL are what formed my love for tactics game and this is a gem of a video to have watch while on my lunch break keep up the content man!
So glad you uploaded this. I was 13 when I picked up KoL and it's what got me into the entire series. Leading up to Reborn I've been watching your videos and it's always good to see KoL get some love, I always felt like it was a hidden treasure on the system. I can only play it on emulators these days so I can double the speed.
I'm still a bit confused as to how they keep releasing all of these crappy phone games, but refuse to release all of these old classics on mobile, when it might be many folks' only chance to experience them. The format works great.
So my dude, I love the video, I love anything about Knight of Lodis. The most memorable things about this game to me were the twins and how this is essentially the Warhammer of tactical JRPGs with the way it's version of turn based works. I've also been watching the Tactics Ogre Reborn vids, and if Square Enix loved us, it would hide a Knight of Lodis Remake in chapter 4 of the CODA as a flashback.
Honestly I would love for Knights of Lodis to be the next remake. There is also Ogre Battle March of the Black Queen and Ogre Battle 64 that would probably make use of what is seen in Unicorn Overlord in terms of the skirmishes and turn orders go by
my mind is blown; i grew up playing final fantasy tactics advance over and over as a kid. seeing basically the skeleton of that game is a whole other game is insane. i never knew this game existed but i need to play it asap
@@jujukinddd Yeah, it's wild how many games came out of a similar thought thread. Like I've seen FFT fans insist TO didn't have the skill variety they wanted...only to come back after realizing there's like a 90% overlap, but in different locations.
The mega punch build is too funny, I never would have tried it, gotta thank you for that. It's the closest thing to a martial arts monk in Tactics Ogre
I played this game before LUCT. So whenever I saw Lanselot Tartar-err I mean Lans Tartare in LUCT, I kept asking myself "...Why do you seem so familiar...?" and every time I saw him, It just kept bugging me. "Where do I know you from?" Then it highlighted him on Barnicia. I recognised the sword. I pointed at the screen and said "OH MY GOD! THAT'S HIM! THAT'S ALPHONSE!" a few minutes later "...Awww that means the 'A' ending is canon'."
I wish I bought this when I was big into FFTA back in the day. The way you described rubberbanding makes it sound like the Mario kart of tactics games.
I rubber banded between this and FFTA constantly, on a funny note. But yeah, I like to call it rubber banding, but it's more sanity checks for everything combined with preferential scaling. Fell Seal does this as a more modern example, where even a unit 30 levels higher with all this end game stuff is comparatively powerful, but still not exactly one tapping the map with a slight breeze. It feels good.
Spoilers for LUCT, but It makes sense that the man who would become Lanselot Tartaros would get an emblem that proves he fears nothing, knowing all the stuff he goes through. Poor guy.
It's such a subtle difference between A and A- for that one, gotta love it. I mean...B ending all day, but requiring the Terror Knight unlock from a completely different game to get the ending here is just perfect.
I absolutely love this game! Found myself a Japanese copy for dirt cheap a few years back and I still play it to this day. It has single handedly got me hunting for means to play the other games in the series where possible (on real hardware preferably). I also own Person of Lordly Calibre on my WiiU and I'm looking forward to the release of Reborn since I've never played LUCT.
In Final Fantasy tactics you can heal your party member in the world healing or item, but I tried clicking the healing leaf but I don't get an option to use for a member?
I started playing this again a few days ago because I'm excited to finally play another T.O. with Reborn. I keep waking up in the middle of the night, and instantly think "Play tactics" then proceed to play until 7am before work. I want to get one of those modded GBA's with the better screen.
I was very reluctant to touch this game because emblem system sounds too complicated and heard on forums that ranged unit is useless in this game. After your explanation I might give it try after all. One Vision 0.994 just launched btw. Lets go boiss
Dang right it did, covering the Barren Soul update as soon as possible. Definitely give it a go, like all Ogre games there's always that online hyperbole factor there. Nothing's really useless, bows definitely have their role, and are arguably the most balanced in the series. Actually speaking of OV, that's basically what they're like. Long range, kinda plinky, but very useful if used right. Plus since the equipment isn't restricted in any way, you can have your own archer Hawkmen parked on top of walls pretty early. Actually it's kind kinda neat that bow units are probably the most varied and well utilized by the AI here too. I first found out how bad out of water mermaid defense was when doing Ostorea, and seeing Aeriel get two tapped by the two archers from across the map pretty much immediately. Being a dumb kid I just assumed the Tundra Bow was too good. 🤣
@@CoffeePotato Yeah, when you mentioned the lack of equipment restriction, I thought that it can lead to exciting team building shenanigans, and I'm all for it. Excited to hear that ranged units is viable, as my main issue with the original PSP LUCT is that melee units in general feels underwhelming, and Clerics can straight up be replaced by heal scrolls and items. Being able to build each of my 12 units around well-defined/clear, yet diverse roles, is what really makes me happy in these kind of game after all. The mermaid part reminds me of the Octopus in LUCT haha. Whenever the enemy use it, they are always get water map so they are always useful. Meanwhile when we use them, we just throw rocks the majority of the time hahaha
@@arusha8249 Fair, though I will say LUCT PSP has a lot more going on there too, it's main thing is just having 10 billion mechanics and explaining none of them. It's why people love the OV mod so much, it's the exact same mechanics, just self explanatory all of a sudden. Like how Fated Circle on the Valkyrie is just Vigorous Attack from the Soldier, but being on a buff class as a smaller AoE spell, people intuit that it should be used more often, and may be more likely to realize it also guarantee secondary effects. No one used Vigorous because it seemed like it was just accuracy.
Physycal Defense and Resistance basically amount to the hard armor that cuts off how much damage is calculated at the end, and Resistance is the amount that it's scaled down.
@@CoffeePotato I do have the PSP tactics ogre but since you have sad that the GBA one is one of the best ones and a great starting point, I have been wanting to get a hold of it. at this point though, I think I may just try to make time and focus on the PSP one that I already have 😕
@@pyrokamileon Technically I doubt anyone's going to throw any big fuss if you were to simply acquire it through other means at this point. Realistically the Atlus side of the series is either lost for good or in some sort of copyright hell no one will ever dig it out of. Getting a working cart is certainly a tall order these days.
@@CoffeePotato yes, i have considered this. technically I do already have the ROM set up to go on my Wii, as that is how I do most of my retro gaming these days. but I typically don't like to do much with a ROM that I don't own.. at the moment I was planning to take a stab at the PSP version. but yes, I will keep this in mind and reconsider the GBA one for later 👍🏽
@@pyrokamileon It's a bummer, but yeah, that side of the series is seemingly unreachable for now. I'm hoping Reborn does well enough to see a compilation for the same systems.
Currently playing Triangle strategy to get my turned based tactics fix...until tactics reborn.... game is way better than I thought it would be. (hard mode)
Another great video! I'm currently playing this masterpiece. I have noticed that if I change Alphonse's birth date my attack stat loses a few points. If my base attack status is 40 (no weapon equipped) and I add a sword with 40 attack then I'm supposed to have 80 attack instead of 75, and that is mostly true when I keep his birth date (with ideal weapon the attack is even higher). Am I getting crazy?
Maybe I didn't catch how the mechanics work but I'll give you an example. Archers ideal weapons are bows so I turn Alphonse into an archer, his attack stats show 81 without a weapon equipped and then I give him the great bow which is 35 pwr. Now his stats show attack = 110. Shouldn't the value be 116? Is there something I'm forgetting like the current date influencing my attack power? @@CoffeePotato
After putting over 600 hours into Reborn, I find myself intrigued by this game (mostly to get more of the story and lore). I know there are 2 main paths and 5 endings, but I don’t want to get spoiled about anything. All I want to know is: Does this game have a system like WORLD in Reborn where you can go back and take the other path on the same save file, or is it mandatory to start completely over to see the other path? Thanks for all your awesome content!
Have you seen that new romhack for this called lancelot? On your comment about multiplayer I got vbalink with 2 windows open and you can get those big multiplayer emblems. The stats are a bit cheat mode but it's also nice to get deneb early. Always hated how many soldier levels she needed to become an int class it really set her behind compared to persuade a caster enemy. I didn't get to enjoy this game as a kid unfortunately I discovered it as an adult but damn is it a gem man. It's insane how such a simple yet elegant game falls through the radar so easily because of lack of marketing. Which ending/route did you prefer? I tended to go b route cuz I hated how alphonse and eleanor end up when the alternate was their elopement.
I have not, but I'm downloading it for a video tomorrow as we speak! B route all the way, I love how dang close they were to a happy ending the whole time. It's why I made a joke trailer about continuing on from every non canon timeline ruclips.net/video/PuewHMxtmQ8/видео.html
@@CoffeePotato nice dude looking forward to hearing what you think of it. I just found out about it myself it's barely off the lot. Any excuse to get another kol playthrough am I right?
I never tested this but was wondering if you knew. Does the enemy scale with the level of the main character or with the average level of the party (excluding guests)?
One of my absolute favorite gems in the GBA time, alongside Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga and Final Fantasy Tactics Advance. There's still much I haven't seen yet and didn't know that there are different endings
You gotta chase those windmills somehow. If you want a super legit challenge run, you can use cheats to hire Mermaids from the start, as well as class Alphonse as one. Good lord they're awful outside of the water, it was harder than faeries by far.
Hell, just a level 50 faerie in general, them suckers just dance around the final boss. We did take one casualty in the final part of Faerie Only, which may have been a 1%.
Is it good using Rebalanced hack version of TKOL? i want the definitive experience of this game cuz i love LuCT so much. the summary of changes in the hack are; Rebalanced most classes. Improved Dragons. Improved special abilities. Buffed weak special characters. Better katanas and fans. Big equipment and weapon weight changes. Some level changes. Higher difficulty. Patch by Chiester: romhacking/hacks/5019/
If you want the definitive experience, play the original. I played the mod a bit ago, but didn't feel like it really redefined the experience, it felt like personal tweaks someone preferred.
@@CoffeePotato ok got it, yeah i think that is just objective takes/personal experience, Perhaps i'll try the original and the hack to see which one that i can get into it.. Thanks man.
@@AlAensland Yup, and yeah, the original did a good job of rebalancing itself on the fly, I felt like a lot of the rebalancing might have been done without understanding why certain things were how they were, but different strokes and all that.

Now his stats show attack = 110. Shouldn't the value be 116? Is there something I'm forgetting like the current date influencing my attack power? @@CoffeePotato
After putting over 600 hours into Reborn, I find myself intrigued by this game (mostly to get more of the story and lore). I know there are 2 main paths and 5 endings, but I don’t want to get spoiled about anything.
All I want to know is:
Does this game have a system like WORLD in Reborn where you can go back and take the other path on the same save file, or is it mandatory to start completely over to see the other path?
Thanks for all your awesome content!
@@enigmazero8624 It doesn't have that, every choice is permanent, but it's also not a very long game.
@ thank you very much for the response
Been playing this game for two days i didnt event get how to save
Right Trigger.
Hey can you overview these --> " Onimusha Tactics " + " Knights in the Nightmare " !
On the list to try out, I haven't played them yet unfortunately.
3 months left baby tactics ogre reborn
*Excited twitching*
Wow, in 2022, is anyone still playing the GBA game when I search for the keyword tactics ogre GBA on average 4 years ago
Absolutely, quite a few still play this gem.
Have you seen that new romhack for this called lancelot?
On your comment about multiplayer I got vbalink with 2 windows open and you can get those big multiplayer emblems. The stats are a bit cheat mode but it's also nice to get deneb early. Always hated how many soldier levels she needed to become an int class it really set her behind compared to persuade a caster enemy. I didn't get to enjoy this game as a kid unfortunately I discovered it as an adult but damn is it a gem man. It's insane how such a simple yet elegant game falls through the radar so easily because of lack of marketing.
Which ending/route did you prefer? I tended to go b route cuz I hated how alphonse and eleanor end up when the alternate was their elopement.
I have not, but I'm downloading it for a video tomorrow as we speak!
B route all the way, I love how dang close they were to a happy ending the whole time.
It's why I made a joke trailer about continuing on from every non canon timeline

@@CoffeePotato nice dude looking forward to hearing what you think of it. I just found out about it myself it's barely off the lot. Any excuse to get another kol playthrough am I right?
I never tested this but was wondering if you knew. Does the enemy scale with the level of the main character or with the average level of the party (excluding guests)?
What does the C mean?
Chaotic alignment.
@@CoffeePotato ooh thanks, got my lich
One of my absolute favorite gems in the GBA time, alongside Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga and Final Fantasy Tactics Advance.
There's still much I haven't seen yet and didn't know that there are different endings
Yup, several, 5 I think.
The emblem system is all time. ALL TIME.
@@x.av1er Absolutely.
RIP Arnas, we hardly knew ye.
But is now WEAPON. So we know ye huge numbers.
I wish have a remake!
Me: intentionally went after the False Hero and Don Quixote emblems in an attempt to nerf my units to make the game more challenging
You gotta chase those windmills somehow. If you want a super legit challenge run, you can use cheats to hire Mermaids from the start, as well as class Alphonse as one. Good lord they're awful outside of the water, it was harder than faeries by far.
@@CoffeePotato huh thanks for the suggestion
Denab? Did Denam and Deneb had a time paradox child? XD
Ohh, KoL remastered, using Luct engine(or whatever) ❤
Oh, I was really confused about the spelling as a kid, that's what the 90s computer story was about.
Yessssss!!!
Pretty sure I got the bad ending the first time I played through this one XD
Cataclysm definitely hurts, or did you mean the 3 other bad endings?
Level 50 Lubinina with a level 50 generic Fairy Snapdragon if something lands a melee hit on you (screenshot or it didn't happen) post it😂
Hell, just a level 50 faerie in general, them suckers just dance around the final boss. We did take one casualty in the final part of Faerie Only, which may have been a 1%.
@@CoffeePotato vs mode shenanigans
The menu's are to confusing
All the emblems and weird stuff, just yanked right out of reborn.. So lame.
Uhh ....you're joking, right?
This game is overly complicated
I can't tell if you're serious or joking 🤔
Is it good using Rebalanced hack version of TKOL? i want the definitive experience of this game cuz i love LuCT so much.
the summary of changes in the hack are;
Rebalanced most classes.
Improved Dragons.
Improved special abilities.
Buffed weak special characters.
Better katanas and fans.
Big equipment and weapon weight changes.
Some level changes.
Higher difficulty.

If you want the definitive experience, play the original. I played the mod a bit ago, but didn't feel like it really redefined the experience, it felt like personal tweaks someone preferred.
@@CoffeePotato ok got it, yeah i think that is just objective takes/personal experience, Perhaps i'll try the original and the hack to see which one that i can get into it.. Thanks man.
@@AlAensland Yup, and yeah, the original did a good job of rebalancing itself on the fly, I felt like a lot of the rebalancing might have been done without understanding why certain things were how they were, but different strokes and all that.
