My troops didn't advance very far in that fight (it was a pretty shitty map). I beat the shit out of Canopus until his TP was maxed, then had him use one of his finishers onzurra said:

Not sure if it has already been posted (couldn't see), but the game is deal of the day at amazon. 28 bucks.
I pre-ordered it, and haven't really played it yet, but I don't regret it, because of the awesome tarot cards. That's how you get me to preorder, devs

I ordered it after it came out and still got the tarot cards! Glad I didn't miss out...harriet the spy said:Not sure if it has already been posted (couldn't see), but the game is deal of the day at amazon. 28 bucks.

Fuck this game is hard. I am really starting to appreciate the intricate details of character development. I never played the original, but I played the shit out of Ogre Battle 64 - god I hope they remake that game, I was the boss at that.
Instead I'm still really early in the game, and only now am I starting to win consistently - the fight with the valkyrie chick on the otherside of the map was wrecking me and my lack of strategy. But I got my flying dude to get ontop of roofs and shoot stuff, a healing knight who's focus was just getting to the valkyrie, and just rushing everything else.
Still a problem with my strategies - I seem to only really have 2-3 characters effectively meleeing - everyone else is too far away and ends up missing out on all the action - any tips? My main is currently berseker (want him to learn the special) - but he usually only gets into the fight when it's winding down.
Tarot Cards?! Aww... I got it used through work - there wasn't even a manual (but it was 10 bucks).

Awesome, after the 5th time trying to save her, I finally managed to do so! Thanks for the tip, making the weather worse totally changed my and the enemies tactics (they can't move nor hit, I can hit a little with archers, and fly in canopus)
I just got the rogue mark and I'm thinking about chaning one of my archers to a rogue. Or should I hire a soldier to do that? What base class is most fit for this purpose?

There are no "base classes". This isn't the original game. Switch whoever you want, but many of an Archers good skills won't carry over that nicely.
Rogues are a very good class, period. They actually get an area-of-effect TP "Special" attack that only costs 50, and their regular attack with daggers is pretty damn good. Any surplus TP can be burned through Steal, which is a Skill so you can attack in the same turn. Very good way to accumulate Marks from enemies.

So if I'm planning on Worlding back to do the other paths as soon as I beat the game, should I do the sidequests on my current Chaos save, or at the end of my Law path? Does it make a difference?

You may want to let the enemy come to you. Some fights where I completely destroyed the AI was when I established a line of melee fighters close to where I began, and let my archers pick people off until they met me at that line. A lot of the "targets" are suicidal, so there's a chance they will rush themselves into a hot mess.
Yaweee said:
Right, so base stats of the "previous" class the char has does not matter anymore since you start off as lvl1 at the new class?
Okay, another question related to that then: I'm having trouble "farming" and levelling new classmarks. What are some general strategies on quick farming? If I bring in 3 rogues in a random battle of max. 6 chars, the other 3 chars should kill everything since the rogues are completely worthless in the beginning. That's not really easy, even with only one rogue which I did.
Do you guys level more than one new class at the same time or ...?

has anbody finished san bronsa?
i've entered the second section and i'm almost out of items. now enemies are a good 5 levels higher than my party and i can barely damage the golems. i've had to leave anyway, but it's weird to see the level jump mid-dungeon. almost everything before that was scaling to my level, save for a few dragons.
Ok.
So I had to take a brief break from playing Tactics Ogre because my PSP wasn't working for a brief period of time, but I think all of the buttons are fully-functioning now.
...Aaaaand I'm back to where I was the last time I posted in this thread.
I have two save files at the beginning of Chapter 2: one where I chose the "good" decision, and one where I chose the

So, I guess my question is:
Because, damn, dude was just fucking stupid. I was face palming throughout that whole battle. Like... there was a very distinct disconnect between myself and my character that suddenly appeared, and I'd rather not have to feel that way for the rest of the game.

So, I guess my question is:
If I take the bad decision route at the end of Chapter 1, and piss off Ravness, only to recruit her later, is there a point where I can morally redeem myself and undo the stupid crap that comes out of my character's mouth during the battle at the end of that chapter (i.e. ignorant racist accusations, only to be shown up by Canopus)? Or am I just better off taking the choices I believe in and stick with them?

Ravness joins you because she believes you can redeem yourself.
Also he apologizes for being a racist if you recruit her.

Just make sure to immediately read the news about Ravness being captured in the Warren Report, otherwise you'll miss her first recruitment requirement. In fact, you should check the Warren Report all the time for new stuff.
Also one of the choices later in the game(also a requirement for Ravness) is badly translated. When the Galgastani Wyrmknight asks to join you make sure you pick the second choice, and bring him to the next battle(but have him complete his conversation with Denam before you win).

You suppose to get him before Coda I think.
Well, the strategy guide says "Completing this battle (the 2nd Port Omish battle) concludes all of the time-sensitive parts of the Pirate's Graveyard quest. You can continue it at any time by visiting the Pirate's Graveyard, and making your way to the Crystal Halls area."Crakatak187 said:

Picture the scene: Move 5 into crowd of enemies. Double Attack one character and kill them. Get 75+ TP instantly. Activate Ivory Tower. Take ZERO physical damage until next turn, all the while counter attacking and gaining more TP. Repeat process. ????. Profit.
Truly, worth taking the Law route just for this satisfaction!

Stats aren't really that important for Divine Knights because their only real use, their specials, aren't dependent on them. I haven't found Divine Knights to be especially useful outside of undead battles. It's a shame because they are the hardest class to get in the game and were a fun class to use in the original. Now they're just Valkyries who can fly, but with a worse spell selection (no spellcraft so only exorcism is ever useful) and some decent special abilities.

Nah, there aren't very many enemy leaders that are Knights in difficult battles. Besides, ignore the phalanxed Knight and he'll run out of TP, it's not all that annoying. Enemies that can summon a whole horde of undead are much worse.
