Originally debuting in 1995 in Japan, it gained a lot of traction in 1997 on PlayStation with a North American release. While I can distinctly point to January of 1998, and <em>Final Fantasy Tactics<\/em>, as the time where I went &#8220;yeah, I&#8217;m pretty into SRPGs,&#8221; <em>Tactics Ogre<\/em> really was the genesis of it, beyond what I had dabbled in before it. It was the talk of my friend groups, and got so many people into the genre. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/tactics-ogre-reborn-leak-playstation-store-square-enix\/\">So when, out of nowhere<\/a>, I learned that it was coming back in 2022 (beyond the PSP edition) as Tactics Ogre: Reborn, I was ecstatic.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, let&#8217;s rediscover one of the most interesting SRPGs ever made, through a modern lens, with a completely new audience in play. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=iVNyoeik0ig\">This &#8220;final trailer&#8221;<\/a> that arrived today on Square Enix&#8217;s YouTube shows off what we can expect before it hits on PC, Switch, PS4, and PS5 on November 11. It&#8217;s basically an overview of the themes and mechanics of the game, but if you want to completely skip most of the story beats (as vague as they may be), I recommend watching everything 1:30 on.<\/p>\n<p>As a reiteration, here&#8217;s everything Square Enix is touting as new:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Based on the 2010 release, the game features improved graphics and sound, as well as updated game design, bringing to life a new <em>Tactics Ogre<\/em> that remains true to its roots. <em>Tactics Ogre<\/em> veterans will experience a game that surpasses their fondest memories, while players new to <em>Tactics Ogre<\/em> will discover a game unlike any they&#8217;ve ever played. Reborn and deeper than ever, the game enables players to immerse themselves in the world and intrigue of<em> Tactics Ogre<\/em> like never before.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>To stress again: definitely put this on your radar.\u00a0<em>Tactics Ogre<\/em> is an evergreen story, and one that should live on through as many platforms as possible. The easier it is to experience this vision, the better: especially given that the PSP storefront is dead. Thankfully, at the very least, PSP copies are fairly cheap, running folks around $40 on average.<\/p>\n<p>See, I&#8217;m already prepping you for picking up every version of this game early!<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Tactics Ogre: Reborn | Story Trailer\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/iVNyoeik0ig?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yeah, this was worth bringing back again It&#8217;s hard to really stress how incredible Tactics Ogre&#8216;s legacy is.
