What was the most memorable part of Tactics Ogre: The Knight of Lodis to you?

The most fun part for me was the training battles where you could split your army into 2 teams and fight each other! I got so overpowered because this mode was too much fun.
In the start of act 2
I entered an area that was filled with ghost with 1 sole girl she was a summoner. I clear the stage and remove the ghost from her body, She joins my party
She explains that her father long ago discovered a secret to keep souls on the earth so he reached into the depths of hell and put her mothers spirit into her body, and the dad used her controlled body (INCEST STYLE) for the next 100 years until you showed up and broke her free.
She encounters said Daddy and he realizes his magic has been broken and has some splainin to do to daughter dearest who was just getting the D two weeks ago, he then explains he loved her mother so much he would of done anything for her AND HE DID!
Morality choice was to let the Incest dad join our party and have 2 overpowered summoners or kick this evil son of a bitches ass.
While the A+ bonus ending is pretty memorable because of how it connects to the rest of the series and changes how Let Us Cling Together's story reads, I think carpet lich is definitely the most memorable part of this game.
(For those who haven't played yet, towards the end, there's a lich who confronts you, then transforms into a carpet and slinks away. He's basically Knight of Lodis' version of Final Fantasy Tactics' hat-throwing thief.)
The gba had so many underrated games. Such a great system.
pls name some
@@8wealthyone8 Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories, Fire Emblem, Final Fantasy Tactics, Golden Sun, Castlevania, to name a few.
Underrated? It was known to be an amazing game machine. The only handheld I daily carried. I usually just play handhelds at home. But the form factor of the SP & the amazing battery life had me playing Tactics Ogre, Fire Emblem, FFTA at work the entire time. Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga was another really fun game
Minnish Cap was awesome
And it's ome of the few systems that runs well on an emulator!
Man, The Knight of Lodis was my favorite game on the gba as a kid! I was always bummed that not a lot of people know about it. I'd say the most memorable thing for me was the story and theme of the game. It was the first time in a game I encountered a story tackling topics revolving around god, religion, and loss. Those themes left a profound impression on me as a kid and I owe this game for helping shape some of the ideas, creativity and beliefs I developed as I got older. I feel like not a lot of games touch these subjects head on like KoL did, or at least none that I've played recently. Endings A and B really stick out to me because most of the story elements are payed off and very rewarding. So happy you decided to make a video on this!
when the hardest decision in life was choosing what element i thought fit me best
I played this game because of the story plot. Ogre Battle game stories would sell as movies!!!
I didn't even know this game existed. I'm looking forward to hearing about it, as well as seeing what it looks like.
Casually walking around the world map
🗡 *ENCOUNTER!*
Tactics Ogre: KoL was one of my fave RPGs on the GBA, alongside Final Fantasy Tactics Advance
Most memorable scene was the "Best" Ending in KoL
This is awesome I cannot stress that enough this game is ridiculously underrated and it's fun as hell
And now that I've found out about it, I find it is so expensive!
How did I not know this game existed?! Thanks for sharing.
this game defined my experience of the GBA and will forever be my favourite strategy game
Nintendo hand-held rpg's were always pretty sweet. This and Riviera The Promised Land have a special spot in my heart.
Very true!
I've been playing through this again in anticipation for Tactics Ogre Reborn which I have not played. I woke up last night at 2am went to my computer, and played until 7am. It is such a great game. I hope Tactics Ogre Reborn is just as good
This and Let Us Cling Together are amazing.
I think so too!
The most memorable thing about this is I got it for my dad but he never played it so it ended up mine and this game followed me to multiple places while living in Germany before going back to the states this game is my childhood and is the reason I like srpgs quite a bit
This was my first Turn-Based strategy game and I ended up replaying this game so many time to choose differently after my first replay realizing that it has different endings. Though one of the endings had me crushed. Its story line along with from the best quotes I use up until today.
I cannot remember how many times I've played it through but my favourite was when I decided to get snapdragons lol. THE LONGEST IVE PLAYED AN RPG IN MY LIFE. (This was before I knew about walkthroughs and such.)
THANKS FOR THE GREAT VIDEO!
Great mature story. Enjoyed it more than FFTA
Just dont.. ffta is perfect 😍
@@DavidPLopez
It's interesting that you say this because i've been on a ton of posts on reddit where this game is considered the superior one.
@@Neethan3247 yea its harder and have lots of history paths, replay value, etc which i enjoy... But the ffta "story" is just so magical, you feel the desperation of the character for returning to thier own world, the mysteris of where you and how you learn things piece by piece. i want a mature history i wouldnt play this fantasy game. I havent finished the game yet but im on chapter 4, so far... I have played... Too much to be clear 100hrs at least
As somebody who adored the original FFT to the highest level- the disappointment I felt during my day 1 purchase/playthrough of FFTA cannot be overstated
Thanks for the review! I’ll be buying this game because of this video.
Ive started this game recently. For the nostalgic value. I always plays it once every couple of year. Never gets me bored.
I never finished it but this was my introduction to tactical rpgs in this style. I remember the story being very moving and I think it came as quite a shock when certain characters died. Really felt like a lost
Always great to see ogre battle getting attention. Great video! The most memorable aspect of TOKOL is def the secret true ending.
Favorite GBA game of all time, and it is not even close. This gem is a gem, and introduced me to tactics games
The tactics Ogre saga stories are superb but always the endings are kind of sad. There is no a happy ending, showing the sadness, sorrow and cruelty of War.... Areally, really good stoyes with great character and development of the plot.
One of my fav games in the gba! Definitely underrated huhu
Recently downloaded a KoL emulator. It's the first time I've ever played thru it. Never owned a GBA. I have to say that I'm impressed. Only one I thoroughly played before this one was the original Ogre Battle SNES. I like the Emblem system. Looking forward to TO: Reborn tho!
luckily I found this when it released and still have my original copy. Thanks for the video
Heck yeah another one! Might have to play this after I get deep into Palace of the Dead and before going Chaos route of LUCT...
Its going to be awhile if we are all waiting on you 100 percenting LUCT lol
@@apnwu369 Haha so truuuue, just give me another 300 hours thanks~ p.s. I actually made quick headway into KoL tonight, kill me lol. Solid progress, just chose Cybil route. Last time I played must've been right around release 2002-ish holy shit. Here's to almost 20 years!
For me, the most memorable part of Tactics Ogre: The Knight of Lodis was probably the soundtrack.
It's so unique, easy to recognize, and instrumentation is the most memorable part of all. I've never heard such a charming style in the system, the PCM instruments fit so well with the Game Boy channels, and compositions simply helps in this aspect, songs like "Overture" "Opening Theme" "Battle BGM" "Battle BGM4" "Sudden Change" "Conversation" "Ending A" and "Credits" are perfect examples of this; unique, strange, consistent and awesome. (I know I could've mentioned more songs, but mentioning the vast majority of them would be too much).
(Story time!): First time I heard the soundtrack, I was pretty young, remember things you'd experienced at that age are like déjà vu-s, and when I heard the OST again some years later, the feeling was so PTSD-af, but in a good way!, it was like a lost memory coming back to you, everything's so familiar but so unknown at the same time, and the sweet forgotten melodies just hit harder, it was impossible to me to not love this style, and even to this date, I still find myself searching for the OST to listen to it again and again.
I don't truly know what kind of sorcery the OST has on it (or at least the weird attachment it caused to me), but just like the visuals, I find the music as something you would not easily forget, and one of the most memorable aspects in TO:TKoL.
Will this franchise be revived someday?
I hope so!
Don't know if you've heard about it already but there's news about "Tactics Ogre Reborn" recently
@@axle4060 Yes I learned about it Last week, thanks. I'm looking forward into it :)
There is an awesone mod in romhacks for this game with rebalances to overpowered and weak jobs the same, in case you want to play it again!
It's been a long time since I played this game, but I'll never forget one mission where you're fighting in a rain storm and the water level on the field rises during the fight, killing any unit who winds up under the water. I'd never seen anything like it and it made me question why games like this rarely use dynamic set pieces during combat.
You've never played flinstones on nintendo xD
The most memorable thing for me besides the amazing story is the snapdragon mechanic that let you turn a character into a sword with special properties depending on the sacrificial class and stats. I remember doing a giant sword and one shooting everyone and a fairy sword and be inposii to hit.
I loved this game. So many cool classes.
It really was a great one!
for me...the thing that stuck to be was OST 04, the unique battle theme that just...my god it sounded like sieging a scottish castle
this is one of my top 5 favorite games of all time, right up there with Skies of Arcadia
god this game needs a port to the switch so more people can enjoy it
The Emblem system is such a good system and is one I haven't seen duplicated since. its by far the most memorable part of the game for me and I adore it
i can remember completely restarting because of losing a charecter to perm death still all were amazing games
I think this game might even be a bit better than the original Final Fantasy Tactics. I give it a nudge because of the number of useful endgame classes. I actually don't have a single knight or ninja in my endgame party, I'm curious as to why you think they're so good.
I only have one healer, Rictor, and he just spams summons on single targets for damage. Heals stop doing anything once you get a party developed enough. Main was a sword master, secondary melee a dragoon (both with snapdragon swords), Rictor ofc, a Siren (Gnome spam), Deneb (for fluid magic support/Salamander spam), a warlock for fluid magic, and two liches for support with time Flux/teleport and some damage while also having 999 physical defense lol. I could definitely change out some things, but this set definitely works. I've also farmed firecrests, warp rings/boots and goblin helms for my two dedicated melees. You can get stupid strong in this game.
It really is a great game! Thanks for leaving your thoughts on it
Snapdragon item, turning some of your best characters into OP weapons for your main characters.
I played the game on emulator portable device and the game is work smooth..gba games on emulator mostly run perfect..
Im playing it at the moment, bought a gba sp with a ips screen 😁
I really wanted to get throughbthis gane but the music, especially on the GBA's tinny speakers, was so grating to me
If you keep asking if something is the greatest, after awhile, most of the answers to the videos are "No" because you've got so many in the same category asking the same question.
My most memorable moment was an ending that I wont spoil for anyone... but if you get that ending, I really feel for you. It sucks. Lol
Da best game of my childhood
Might be a weird question, but how in the world did you get the dialogue boxes to look so crisp? Mine are always so grainy.
God damn dude get a color correction filter on that emulator. Retroarch, bro. Can just load up a color corrected LCD hatch shader. GBA games are like pastel burn your eyes bright to compensate for the unlit/dim GBA screen.
one of best story game plz remake with new graphics
i wish people made some hack or changes to balance or even create new classes, magics... the Fire Emblem comunity does to their favorite games in gba.
I just bought this game
What do you think of it?
@@Xygor oh, i meant i literally just purchased it... it'll be delivered in 2 weeks lol 😅
I'd say Super Robot Taisen Original Generations 2 is the best turn based strategy rpg on the GBA, but this is a damn solid contender
Fire Emblem shits all over every other game.
@@RandalfElVikingo Ehh not really, I played both hard at the time, fire emblem before super robot taisen original generations 1 and 2, and I vastly prefered OG 2 to the point of replaying it 4 times back to back.
Better animations, better characters, no stupid random level ups, I prefer its story, better villains.
@@RyuseiiTheCrimsonKing You're selling that game hard, so I'm going to play it. Also, I think that game was in Namco's crossover with Capcom, so that could be a plus because that game is full of SRPG references of great games.
@@RandalfElVikingo I will say OG 1 isn't AS good as OG 2 but you need to play it first to understand the 2nd game.
ANd yeah Namco X Capcom has some super robot wars characters like Arisu and Xiaomu and Sanger Zonvolt appears in Project X Zone which is its sequel.
@@RyuseiiTheCrimsonKing I played FE6 before FE7 lol I don't think I will have any problems with the first game before the second after that experience.
I also started my SRPG adventures with Advance Wars 1, so I don't mind a challenge.
The only thing I didn't quite like with KOL was that it ditched the RT unit speed of the original TO, and replaced it with a Player and Enemy Turn phase like Fire Emblem.
I don't know why but I didn't have interest in this game when it came out. I love the original Tactics Ogre and FFT but was not into FFTA or this. Don't know why?
I find these types of games dont have any real strategy in the battles. You just move then click attack
play past the first few battles, it gets tougher
This is a great game, but I still like FFT Advanced for the GBA a little bit better.
