BWUH!

Huh. I've got it on PS1. But this is still so tempting.

Ogre Battle is like... Two of a kind.

Outside of Ogre battle and Ogre Battle March of the black queen you won't see a game like it.

Closest i've played is Soul Nomad and the World Devourers.

I'll say.  If you like it you can play it many many times over.

There are at least 3 main endings.  Probably more... then a bunch of tweaks to endings.

Couldn't be too hard.  I mean emulators can do that stuff.

Ahh good memories of playing the import verison.

Is really that good?

LOL !
I think this was this game that hooked me up on SRPG.
This game was so amazing, I still have the cartridge for PAL SNES somewhere. The game was even released in PAL but only in English IIRC.
Amazing game. Every SRPG fan should have played this game at least once.

It really depends on how you like the gamplay.

But i'd say so.  It's really deep.

Also it's fairly unique.

I mean there are only 2 games in its genre if you ask me.

It and it's 64 counterpart.

I mean.  Soul Nomad comes close.  Mixing instead of RTS, Disgaea gameplay.  But it lacks the class upgrades and alignment system.

If anyone cares to disagree though.  Please correct me so i can add some games to my list.

Wow, I think I may have my first VC purchase.

hmm... may have to try this, sounds interesting, almost sounding a more interesting and interactive version of my like as a king and a rpg version of little kings story roled up in one in a way. (oh god, have i summoned the dreaded noname!?!?)

Yes. Yes it is. And at $8, it may well be one of the wisest purchases you've ever made. There are few games that are this good, and since we evidently don't get N64 games anymore you'll probably not have a chance to get the sequel, so...get this. You won't be sorry.

"Dreaded"?

I mean, I know I'm a prick and all, but...

And it's actually different from those titles. It's tough to describe, but think of it as being an RTS where the battles are all RPG-style. You're essentially forming parties of up to 5 people (with a ton of room for diversity and experimentation), and then using them to defeat waves of enemy parties. The battles themselves are mostly hands-off: your party members act in accordance with the general directions you've given them, but you never tell Character A to attack Enemy B using Attack C. You can, however, tell them to retreat, or use Tarot cards as a kind of spell.

It's got good characters and a good story, but both of those are nearly optional: you can skip nearly all the bonus characters (and WILL miss most of them the first time through) and not pay any attention to the story, and still have a complete blast.

There are too many things about this game to go into all the details and reasons you should get this, but I really, REALLY recommend that you do.

PAL release please!
VC is awesomeness. It alone warrants a Wii purchase imo.
