Kinda off topic but I recently bought ogre tactics reborn and I'm shocked I'm just now discovering that game after years of playing FFT as a kid in the late 90s.

Lowest price on Switch digital. Steam has had it recently for $2.99 if anyone wanna wait for another sale.

Only unknown is the length of this game. Anyone?

Ogre battle games are my all time favorites not tactics though

Yeah, considering that Tactics Ogre was originally on the Super Famicom and predated FFT, it would not be all that surprising as Enix was always better than square.

It didn't reach the US until an early PS1 localization by Atlus that was incredibly hard to find. Then it got a PSP port like ten years later.

Both games were made by the same dude. And he was never part of Enix, to my knowledge. Quest was the company that made the Ogre Battle games until they got absorbed into Square.

Play Tactics Ogre: The Knight of Lodis for GBA. Fantastic RPG, last one Quest made prior to Square buying them.

Also, I agree that Enix was better than Square at making RPG's but Square hit a home run with FF7 that got Final Fantasy to become a household name in the west, while the arguably better Dragon Quest series received little attention because it's dated looking visuals.

My preferences actually run counter to that. I find myself preferring the pixel art and charm of the 2D era of jRPGs, as well as the more medieval fantasy theme rather than the more sci-fi heavy style that modern Final Fantasy has become. I kind of lost interest with Final Fantasy beginning with 7, despite it's acclaim. I realize that is probably going to be unpopular with some but that's just the reality. To me Final Fantasy VI (III in the US) was the pinnacle. The more modern Final Fantasy and it's aesthetic just doesn't really appeal to me, whereas I could find myself still getting into modern Dragon Quest. Not that I have time for too many big jRPGs these days. Too many games, not enough time lol.
