Holishit! I hope Mischief Makers is in the wings too!

Thanks for the responses, everybody. I think I'll wait (and pray?) for Ogre 64 and play that one first. The SNES game will always be waiting if I hunger for more.

Also, to game veterans like Khuutra and noname:

I'd love for you guys to explain how to walk the path of righteousness in Ogre Battle 64 so I won't get cast off and shunned like a bloody conquerer at the end of the game. The two times I finished it, I got ZERO Chaos Frame. I believe it has something to do with liberating towns instead of capturing - which is based on unit alignment. I never played it a third time due to my N64 controllers going missing years ago.

 Kasz pretty much summed it all up. The only thing I would add is that your story-related decisions don't seem to affect your Chaos Frame much, if at all, anymore.

This is true with one or two major exceptions - one of which, my first time through, smashed me down to a very low Chaos Frame, if I remember.

Play to protect your countrymen more than you're trying to kill the enemy. There is one story-branching part which determines the direction of the plot for like ten missions, and that decision, if I remember, is pivotal.

^ That's where I must've went wrong unknowingly. Because I exterminated every single enemy on each and every map.

If it's OLFC rated, it's pretty much a lock to come to the US too.  Nintendo likely worked out a deal with Atlus to use the english localization... I just hope they don't charge a premium because of it.

Meh. What's a premium for a VC game? I paid 1200 points for Sin & Punishment. Two bucks isn't enough to affect my decision process.

That's 200 points that could go to other VC games (like hopefully Mischief Makers).  I won't lie though, 1000 or 1200 points, I'll still pay it.  Happily.

I'm playing Ogre Battle SNES right now...it's OK but I hope OB64 is as good as you guys say it is :P

What did I tell you, Soriku?

Damn.

Now I'll have to get off my ass and finish the SNES version before this gets released in Europe.

Are you certain? If you're talking about the decision to rescue the slaves, or to make peace with the Western Division, I've played it both ways, and neither one seemed to have much of an effect on my Chaos Frame.

 I don't think that's what Khuutra's referring to: I make a point of killing all the enemies on almost every map save for the last one, and I still end the game with a 100 Chaos Frame.
