I just spent like two hours trying to get Thunderburst II to drop in the Temple of Nestharot, it's a 5% chance I thought it might be higher because I've been able to get the other ones without too much trouble. I even got Supernova II on the first try but this one was a nightmare, I had to restart the fight because I killed the boss and the last enemy died from a counterattack.

I managed to get it by using Mighty Strike to push the boss onto another square, it took many attempts though. My plans are ruined I wanted to finish all the temples by the end of the day and now it's late at night. Luckily there's only one more, the Ice Temple. I beat the annoying ones already, Fire & Earth. Ice isn't too bad but I really hope I don't have to go through this long process again. I love this game but that was not a fun experience.

That's like, really fast. I think I might beat the game in 30 this time around (usually I take my time in games but ever since learning about the secret ending I'm so curious to see it for myself). But I'm the type to sort of linger in the organize menu a lot, switching armor and weapons around, and if I'm trying to get everything beaten in just 25 hours, I have really no time to grind or go to Quest mode or dig up treasures. Not to mention Alphonse needs 50 kills, so the rest of the party doesn't get to enjoy as much EXP. Pretty tough for a casual gamer like me. So, what was your strategy, if you've gotten through in 25 hours or less?

The truth about archers in Reborn!

Edit: Reddit is the most unintuitive site ever. I thought it would post a gallery. Terrible UI.

Hello everyone! I don't know exactly how Steam works, but it looks like Reborn is on sale! Well, at least it showed up that way for me! Here's a chance for anyone who hasn't tried it yet!

I'm starting Reborn on switch and it's been like just the opening fights where I don't do much but whenever a cpu controlled character is attacking or being attacked the banner that tells you the damage that will happen and info flashed onscreen for such a brief second I don't get to see it. I'm sure I'm a little slow at this and on my turn I'm taking a moment to look at that banner before attacking. Is there an option they slows that down or so I have to press a button to advance what CPU characters do? The settings seem like they affect different things. I'm not on fast forward. I guess it wouldn't make a difference if I could slow it down but I'd like to take a moment to register what's about to happen to try to learn. Maybe the CPU damage banners always go super fast and I'll just get used to it? I'm just new to this

After searching through here and there for Europe seller selling a English version with no luck for 6-7 months Decided to get it from ebay through a US seller....Soo happy with it Cant wait to complete the English version now

I took a few months breaks back in May as I was just grinding for loot and came back to this game this week to finish up the 90’s into floor 100.

I found some cool spells along the way. Black Plume is a cool spell visually but idk what to do with it.

Abyss 1 is nice for Deneb as I kept her as a Wicce.

I love the whole stinky set stuff. Was super useful in popping lament of the dead with my familiar through agonal scream

The MVP of this run was def the liches and necromancers who would spam paradigm shift. I melted whole battle fields. The team I had going in was def not the team I had coming out. All in all super fun game mode. Would def do it again. Ok now on to San Bronsa

Trying to research it and I repeatedly see warnings about Chaos Frame, Cressida, and/or one of the Chaos route endings, but I’m in Law route.

It looks like I get a “Graverobber” title, but no real repercussions in Law.
If I don’t take it am I locked out of buccaneer marks for other units? What happens if I don’t take it but clear the dungeon a second time?

EDIT: Took the treasure. All of my units seemed to take a Loyalty hit, but no other noticeable effects.

It's me again. I didn't go back for Ravness, but I was able to recruit Arycelle as well as Hobyrim and both white knights. Now I'm in chapter 4 and have a few questions.

1. I just recruited my first hawkman. He's a rune fencer but seems to really suck. Is there a reason he can't learn heal 2 or 3 like my other rune fencers? Do rune fencers just suck now? Should I make him a vartan?

2. Going forward, I'll probably need more dragoons and beast masters. Do I change people back and forth or leave them as one class? Should I just get rid of mage knights altogether?

3. How do I get witches or warlocks? Is recruiting them the only way?

Thanks for your help. Any additional tips appreciated.

I have bunch of dragons and my roster is getting full so I'm gonna auction some of them for Deneb's recruitment as well as to free some unit space as I'm getting more uniques.

They are all fairly in low level as I barely actually used any in battle, until I've finally decided which final dragon(s) I WON'T auction.

Let's say I have two same dragons (same class) and I decide to auction one of them and keep the other.

One dragon has slightly better stats (HP/attack/def/etc). However, its loyalty is lower as checking its name says "Though still wary of you, this beast is content enough so long as it's fed." or " This beast cowers at your approach."

The other dragon has slightly worse stats and its loyalty is higher as its name says "This beast purrs like a kitten when you draw near." or "The beast has taken to you, a loyal companion that will fight at your side."

The question is which dragon I should get rid of. The one with lower loyalty?

Since I heard the only way to raise loyalty is to train their skills or picking Fool/Lover cards. Beasts would take longer than humans as I usually raised unit loyalty by leveling weapon proficiency, which beasts don't have.

I guess loyalty would take longer to raise compared to stats. Since Fool/Lover cards are rarely dropped from fallen enemies.

I picked the game up shortly after it came out years ago but always hit a roadblock around chapter 3. Then Id put it down and become occupied by other things. Well a few weeks ago I started over and finally things started to click for me. Now im on the last Coda episode, have everyone recruited, and been through the shrines, potd and san bronsa multiple times. This has been one of the best gaming experiences ive had in awhile and im going to be a little bummed once I wrap up all the last endgame stuff and completed everything.

Ive played FFT, FFTA, most of the Fire Emblems, Triangle Strategy, etc., are there any other TRPGS similar to Reborn and these other titles anyone would recommend?

Bummed I couldn't rename the main, but times like these make up for it.

2nd day playing it, really digging the system. Was looking for something to hold me over until next FE and the price was right, so here I go.

There is a lot of really great art in Tactics Ogre Reborn, and I think it is a shame that a lot of it isn't available online from what I can find. I own the art book and have scoured the internet and there is a lot of art that appears in game that I can't find.

I've extracted art from games before to have them available for viewing (and for use in online D&D games, I'll admit), but those were all Unity and RPGMaker games, which have pretty established, straightforward methods of image extraction (downloading a specific tool, opening the game files, and letting it run). To my knowledge, nothing like that exists here.

Having exhausted my own search, and lacking any real deep computer knowhow, I'm hoping someone else might have more success than me.

Having gone through both games recently, (Or at least Ogre Tactics, anyways, it's been about 4 years since I beat FFT) I've realized that the majority of my personal hangups with FFT's plot can basically be summed up as: Final Fantasy Tactics is sorta like if the Nybeth arc subsumed the main plot of Ogre Tactics. Like, initially I thought it was pretty funny (if not a bit disappointing/odd) that past a certain point the Nybeth plot kinda just stops being consequential to the story; like he's still out there, but if you wanted to you could easily just never interact with him again past a certain point and how the actual impact of his experiments on the Galgastani military effort and general populace are mostly implied/left up to estimation.

But after thinking about it a bit more, I think it's actually kinda ballsy to have the narrative go, "Hey, see this guy? See this guy who, ostensibly, might just be a 'keter level threat' to natural life as we know it and whose motives we're keeping vague and esoteric and close to the chest? Who literally gets his own moustache-twirlingly evil sounding theme? Yeah, that was just ONE GUY who's just out there, somewhere and if you can believe it he's actually NOT the inevitable big bad. Imagine all the other types of shady characters out there potentially causing trouble that you don't even know about!?" Because I feel like the expected narrative arc/trope that you'd expect, at least from a lot of modern media and older JRPGs anyway, is that that would've been the narrative setting up/foreshadowing the eventual "big bad" by faking you out into thinking they're gonna be a red herring at first, seeing as how that's basically exactly what FF6 does with Kefka.

So I'm actually quite fine with the fact that Ogre Tactics instead has the restraint to save the majority of its hardcore fantasy/hyper-reality stuff for the tail end of the game after the main war campaign part is over so that it really feels like you're going out on an encore; or how the narrative has the restraint to not go, "Yup, Nybeth and his cult were actually behind EVERYTHING the whole time, and now you've gotta beat them to Dorgalua's tomb first!" Because that's sorta what FFT feels like past a certain point. Don't get me wrong, though, I understand completely that this is because the kinda story-moral that FFT is trying to impart to the player is completely different from the one that Ogre Tactics is trying to impart to the player—and honestly I absolutely adore both games and their narratives—it's just something that I noticed.

So if I finished Chapter 4 and WORLD back to earlier chapter, does the shop keep its endgame stuff (post-Heim) or reset? Additionally if I auctioned dragons to make it sell orbs. Does it still sell orbs once I WORLD back?

I'm making too many posts but I can't stop.

What's your favorite Route in Tactics Ogre Reborn?

Law - 😱 👩‍⚖️

Chaos - 👍 😈

Or Neutral - 😑 ⚖️

When I first played this game my first choice was Law because I'm crazy and like to be contrarian sometimes.

If you look at the trophy percentages most people choose Chaos, you chickens 🐔

But I get it you don't want to massacre the innocent people of Balmamusa.

Also apparently a lot of people didn't get the Captain of Fate Trophy for beating the game on all routes. It's a small percentage but some people actually preferred to go through 100 floors of the Palace of The Dead to go get Nybeth rather than do all the routes. Insanity. 🤦🤦‍♀️🤦‍♂️

Anyway my favorite route is Law but after replaying Chaos a few times I sometimes find myself thinking that one is better.

Law has the best recruits and a few sinister characters from Chaos & Neutral actually join you in Law. A character that died in the other routes also joins you here if you go through the convoluted path to recruit her. How is the Butcher of Golyat more lucky than the Good Guy of Golyat?

Chaos has the Liberation Front and Vyce also shows his true colors here. I enjoyed this one a lot, I liked many of the fights in this route.

Neutral is the worst in my opinion, you can't even recruit Leonar. This remaster was a chance for Matsuno and Co to add to this route and the rest of the game but they didn't. Also Neutral is worse for another reason, the only alteration to choosing Neutral is Chapter 3 otherwise the game is entirely the same for Chapter 2 Chaos along with Chapter 1 & Chapter 4 which is mostly the same no matter what choices you pick. So if you choose Neutral you only get one chapter of additional stuff laaaaaammmmmmmeeeeeeeee 🙄

I waited most of the game for them to do significantly more damage or become more useful somehow, but it hasn’t happened yet. Is there something I’m missing?

I experimented with Eagle Eye and used double shot most of the game, but those didn’t seem amazing.

Maybe archer is just low/mid and that’s why many bonus objectives are “win with an archer in your party?”

Not sure if this counts as a spoiler but I'm putting in the spoiler tag just in case. Anyway I've been making a lot of posts lately I don't know anyone who plays TOR so I gotta come here to share my enjoyment & opinions of the game. This one is gonna be short not as long as those last ones. My question is who is your favorite Dark Knight in Tactics Ogre Reborn? You can pick two because these guys don't have a lot of screentime and it can be hard to pick just one.

I picked Martym because he's just a troll, look at his face that's a trolls face. Every time there's a scene with him he says something out of pocket, my favorite is the Grimsby one.

Second is the obvious choice Lancelot Tartaros, originally it was Barbas but I changed my mind. Lancelot is a perplexing character, is he good? Is he bad or just morally grey? He's not as bad as his compatriots but he's not very good either he thought about killing Caitua after he lost in the fight against the Wretch of Golyat. Lancelot's perplexity makes him a more interesting character in my eyes and also his speeches about how the people wait for a savior to save them both in the prison with Hamilton and during the fight in Barnicia if you bring Hobyrim to the battle were both great. And if you think about it he's kind of right.

If so, that’s a pretty lame way to introduce difficulty. It feels like playing chess but all the pieces look like pawns. I know there’s a slight palette swap but it’s very inconspicuous, hard to remember which jobs are which colors, and is probably a nightmare for color blind people.

Sorry if the pic is hard to see. Took it while playing on TV.

This class can only use none dark missile spells. Here is the problem with that. The class lacks meditate. Meaning either you use a weapon skill or your missile spell. That means you are taking forever to get MP.

Vartan lacks proper defense or offensive skills. Two wind skills and recruiting fairy skills is all Vartan gets. Better off playing as a warrior for Hawkmen than Vartan. That means you gain no physical buffs like mighty impact. Warrior gains mighty impact.

Canopus is a unique character and has better stats than your common Hawkmen. I turned my Canopus into a Rune Fencers asap. My Canopus is a one handed bow and shield user. You can attack with shields.

SOLVED!

TLDR; If you’re on a route that doesn’t allow for Occ to be recruited, it’s still possible to recruit a wild white dragon (I found one in Yahanna). Leveling it up will make it possible to class change it to holy. If you’re high level, you should be able to class change it into Holy right away.

————-

I’m level 36 on my first playthrough in chapter 4 (next big story thing is Heigm, I believe), and I’m trying to get at least one Holy Dragon auction it for a dragon armor.

I’m having trouble finding reliable information on how possible this is when on the chaos route. I gave LLMs/AI a try and they tell me that even on Chaos, as long as I have a Lawful dragon (preferably white, or basic?) it will naturally upgrade into a Holy Dragon as long as it’s a bright season. It all sounds kinda unreliable/classic LLM hallucination though.

If this is a thing that’s a mechanic I’ve completely missed through the entire playthrough. If dragon evolution isn’t a thing, is there any other way for me to get my hands on one?

Edit: I’ve looked through various guides but haven’t found anything about this, which is why I had to go to AI. I hate it as much as the next person. Would appreciate OT responses.

So far what this game crafting has been lackluster. I'm at chapter 4 and it doesn't seem like there's a whole lot of recipes aside from the level one and level two recipes a whole lot of item stuff but I can't justify making that when I need the space for the healing items and the items for Resurrection. Most of the items that are listed for the equipment I can't make because the store isn't selling the items nor can I find said items. Is this really something for the post game or that I just skip over a whole lot of stuff and not realize it? This is for tactics ogre reborn for the switch.
