a strategy game that i've been wanting to play for a really long time . after just hearing about it and it getting ported to the PSP got me to playing it .
And with Pro-B4 becoming permanent , i was quite happy that the money i spent on my PSP 3000 was not a waste [although it makes me sad at how i spent $200 on it when now similar bundles are only $150 :\] . i am stuck with a 2GB + 1GB Memory Stick so i am debating for either a >4GB MemoryStick or a PSPGo . haggling with my friend who is selling it to me for $90 but i don't really feel like spending more than $70 to be honest .
anyway , back to the game .
i've played other Turn Based tactical games like Fire Emblem or Final Fantasy: Tactics but Tactics Ogre really brought out a challenge. in other games , i'd be given a team that is capable of beating anything . and they were pretty linear , you do quests , follow a story . however, Tactics Ogre brought choices and an actual challenge . this isn't a game where you can just go with your basic equips and do finish the story , battles actually take time and whatever choice you make will decide what your future events will be like . i thought i could go through the first few battles with no upgrades but i was proved wrong . i had to invest on spells for my mage [though this isn't the correct context] and this skill system is pretty new to me since i've never tried it before .
in terms of the story , i am on Chapter 2 . at the end of Chapter 1 , being the good character i am , i chose the obvious good one . who knew the characters would be such a dick in the game and it was a real piss off . i can't wait till the final battle seeing as some people are just so damn cruel . i started off Chapter 2 and am charging my PSP . great game so far , considering actually purchasing the game since it seems like a game i could play through till the end [some RPGs end up getting bored mid-way through and aren't worth buying IMO] . after this , i plan on playing Yggdra Union: We'll Never Fight Alone [the port] or Riviera: The Promised Land [also the port] after .
