[[caption-width:350:Fight it out!]]
The third game released in the ''[[OgreBattle Ogre Battle]]'' line (yet stated to be the "sixth" in the story canon), ''Ogre Battle 64: Person of Lordly Caliber'' was released on the {{Nintendo 64}} in 1999 (Japan) and 2000 (North America). It goes back to the RealTimeStrategy style of game play that the first game in the series has and away from the similar to Final Fantasy Tactics gameplay that Tactics Ogre was.
The game takes place in Palatinus (north of Zenobia) and stars Magnus Gallant, a young nobleman who, instead of choosing to stick around the wealthy Central Division and live a life of ease in nobility, decides to make a name for himself by joining the military academy and eventually be recruited into the Southern Division army. What starts as Magnus merely trying to quell some rebels turns into a full blown revolution of the Palatinus kingdom, striking back against the Lodis Empire, and even prevent the second Ogre Battle.
----
!!This game provides examples of:
* ActuallyFourMooks: Or three, or five. Sometimes two, in the earlier missions.
* AmbiguouslyGay: In-game dialogue between Magnus and Yumil would seem to indicate this.
-->Yumil: "Magnus, I want you to be by my side. I want you to...be my knight."
* ArbitraryHeadcountLimit: In both size of a unit and number of characters in the army.
* BagOfSharing: Very slightly subverted, though, in that the amount of items a unit can hold is dependent upon the classes that compose it.
* BigDamnHeroes: When it seems like the rebel leader is going to be executed by Rhade, two knights just show up out of ''nowhere'' to save him. It's an even bigger CMOA when you learn [[spoiler: It's Destin and Debonair from the first OgreBattle]].
* CantDropTheHero: Magnus is mandatory.
* CaptainErsatz: [[spoiler:Danika is very similar to Persephone of ClassicalMythology. Both were daughters of a Earth Goddess (Demeter/Berthe) who were lured to the Underworld and made Queen of it by another God residing there (Hades/Diablo) and trapped there once they ate a fruit grown there. Only difference is while Hades is actually quite just by Ancient Greek standards, Dialbo is evil, and Danika was corrupted by them, but gets better after you defeat her]].
* CharacterPortrait: Even the messengers have a portrait.
* ColorCodedArmies: The enemy units always wear red [[spoiler:no matter whether you're fighting for Palatinus or the Revolutionary Army]]. Even friendly units you fight during training are red.
* CombinationAttack: With high enough morale and correct elemental typing, caster classes can do this. Soldiers in the same row attacking the same target can combine attacks too.
* TheComputerIsACheatingBastard: The computer has access to certain classes despite said characters never meeting the prerequisites of said classes. You'll see Paladins and Black Knights of a level WAY lower than that necessary to meet the class requirements. The computer is also not limited in his number of squads to deploy the way you are.
* CriticalHit: In addition to dealing double damage, it also knocks the recipient back a row, if possible.
* DefeatMeansPlayable: True for a few characters, such as Liedel and Biske.
* DoNotDropYourWeapon: Defeated bosses topple over and let their weapon go.
* EscortMission: You have one where you must escort protect Yumil, but thankfully he does have four Black Knights protecting him, a high level melee class that you won't get until much later in the game, so he's not in much danger.
* EvilIsNotAToy: It's one thing to summon denizens of the underworld to serve you, but to ''willingly'' give a person who doesn't like being used by you the powers of a demigod? The Holy Lodission empire ain't exactly run by geniuses.
* FirstNameBasis: General Godeslas. Godeslas is his FIRST name. As one LP says "It's like if he went around getting called General Gary".
* FlashOfPain: The color is different depending on the element of the attack, too.
* GeoEffects: Certain units fight better and move quicker through different terrain, and a unit occupying a stronghold gets a defensive bonus.
* GuestStarPartyMember: In an early mission, an uncontrollable Yumil leads a unit with four Black Knights across Mylesia.
** Ankiseth, [[spoiler:Magnus' dad]] also. He can cast combo magic (by himself) and comes with two Cataphracts. [[spoiler:Ankiseth's squad can then join your army after this mission.]]
* GuysSmashGirlsShoot: The base male class is a Fighter, that uses swords. The base female class is an Amazon, that uses bows.
* HeroesPreferSwords: Not just Magnus, but Ankiseth, Dio, [[spoiler:Destin and Debonair]] too.
* InformedEquipment: Weapons change, but no matter what headgear or armor you put on, a character's clothing remains the same.
* InUniverseGameClock: Night and day. [[NPCScheduling Some events can be triggered only during certain times of the day, too.]]
* InvisibleWall: Even though some maps are linked (where the final fortress of one mission will become the starting point of the next one), you can't go from region to region without accessing the overworld. This actually proves beneficial for hunting down leaderless units.
* JobSystem: As long as a character fulfills the statistical and alignment requirements, they can change classes between missions or while not deployed.
* LuckStat: Affects dodge and critical hits... probably. For females, also affects the chances of becoming an Angel Knight upon death.
* MonsterAllies: Wyverns, dragons, hellhounds, and plenty more.
* MultipleEndings: There are many different endings, with scenes depending on which characters you recruited throughout the game. The [[GoldenEnding Golden Ending]] depends upon having a middling to high Chaos Frame.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Godeslas, but Baldwin comes in right after, and gets rid of any sympathy you might have for him.
* NoBulkDiscounts: You'll end up buying a lot of Heal Leaves and Power Fruits for your army, and though you may have saved the entire region from a cruel and tyrannical oppression, you won't be getting a price cut.
* NoCampaignForTheWicked: Like it or not, you're going to [[spoiler:join the rebellion]]. Averted, though, in that you can make Magnus chaotic or play with a low chaos frame, capturing cities instead of liberating them.
* NoPointsForNeutrality: Averted. Many classes won't be able to promote to their respective upgrades if their alignments are too far to either end of the scale.
* OptionalCharacterScene: Bosses all have an introduction when you first encounter them. If you engage them using a character with which they have a relationship (usually Magnus), you'll be treated to a special scene between the two.
* OptionalPartyMember: Many characters depend upon having a high or low Chaos Frame, visiting certain places with certain characters, or having certain other characters in your army in order to be recruited.
* PaletteSwap: The middle forms of the six elemental dragons are identical in appearance save for coloration.
* PlayerPersonalityQuiz: A series of questions asked in the beginning of the game will determine the composition of your starting army, as well as your first Elem Pedra.
* Plunder: Most enemies drop stuff after they die. Some items are rare weapons or components to unlock special classes.
* PointOfNoReturn: Happens temporarily several times, though you can usually return much later in the game.
* PreviousPlayerCharacterCameo: [[spoiler:Destin]] shows up briefly in the first half of the game, and can later be recruited if you have a high Chaos Frame.
* PrestigeClass: Most classes have an advancement that gives them better statistical upgrades during level ups, access to more gear, and more frequent or different attacks. Subverted though in that a character can change to any class whose prerequisite they match, even if it is not the improved version of their current class. The prestige classes are:
** Knight -> Paladin
** Valkyrie -> Freya
** Phalanx -> Cataphract
** Fencer -> Swordmaster
** Wizard -> Archmage
** Sorceress -> Siren
** Angel Knight -> Seraph
** Cleric -> Priest
** Archer -> Diana
** Ninja -> Ninja Master
** Beastman -> Beast Master
** Dragoner -> Dragon Master
** Berserker -> Black Knight
** And it's not counting the various monster evolutions.
* PuzzlePan: Not a perfect example, but the game will show you the stronghold you need to liberate at the beginning of each mission.
* RandomEncounters: They're a bit uncommon, but they're the only way to get nonhuman characters into your army.
* RelationshipValues: A hidden morale meter helps determine magical combination attacks.
* RivalTurnedEvil: [[spoiler:Dio, but only if you choose to stay silent at Frederick's execution. Dio will be thought to be dead, but then a chapter later, you see him take out Rhade, and then you finally meet him face to face two chapters after!]]
* SaveThePrincess: A gender inversion with Yumil during the second mission.
* ShoutOut: The high alignment version of the Hawkman is called the [[FlashGordon Vultan, after a certain Prince]].
* SlidingScaleOfIdealismVersusCynicism: The story has its moments, but basically as the player you can choose either one, and you will be right either way!
** This is shown in canon with Xevec, who argues with Magnus over whether they should work with defectors or kill 'em all.
* SoftReset: Z + Start + A + B. It doesn't save a lot of time, though.
* StrawHypocrite: The Holy Lodission Empire. These guys secretly give Godeslas the ability to summon Ogres just to test out how much power he could attain. This comes to bite Palatinus in the butt later as they come back and take away the kingdom's power of nobility under the claim they were ''using'' ogres, and they are to step in to take care of a land of "heretics". This gets even more hypocritical as right after that, they search the Eastern division for the gate to the underworld to summon MORE Ogres.
** Stupid mistake or XanatosGambit?
* TheSixStats: Strength, Vitality, Intelligence, Mentality, Agility, Dexterity.
* TravelingAtTheSpeedOfPlot: You can spend years traveling from region to region between missions, and nothing in the plot will change. In fact, since Magnus receives rare items for every birthday that's a multiple of 10, it's beneficial to wander around until Magnus is 99 years old.
* TwentyFourHourArmor: If you catch an enemy in a tent, they will start the battle sleeping, but wearing full gear and in formation.
* UnitsNotToScale: Towns are like little sandboxes for your units to wade in.
* VisibleSilence: Magnus does this often.
* YouALLLookFamiliar: Somewhat justified, in that there are only so many classes available.
** Doubly so for soldiers. You can have 200 of the pintsized fighters in your army base, but good luck telling one from another. Some of them are apparently even female.

[[caption-width:350:Fight it out!]]
The third game released in the ''[[OgreBattle Ogre Battle]]'' line (yet stated to be the "sixth" in the story canon), ''Ogre Battle 64: Person of Lordly Caliber'' was released on the {{Nintendo 64}} in 1999 (Japan) and 2000 (North America). It goes back to the RealTimeStrategy style of game play that the first game in the series has and away from the similar to Final Fantasy Tactics gameplay that Tactics Ogre was.
The game takes place in Palatinus (north of Zenobia) and stars Magnus Gallant, a young nobleman who, instead of choosing to stick around the wealthy Central Division and live a life of ease in nobility, decides to make a name for himself by joining the military academy and eventually be recruited into the Southern Division army. What starts as Magnus merely trying to quell some rebels turns into a full blown revolution of the Palatinus kingdom, striking back against the Lodis Empire, and even prevent the second Ogre Battle.
----
!!This game provides examples of:
* ActuallyFourMooks: Or three, or five. Sometimes two, in the earlier missions.
* AmbiguouslyGay: In-game dialogue between Magnus and Yumil would seem to indicate this.
-->Yumil: "Magnus, I want you to be by my side. I want you to...be my knight."
* ArbitraryHeadcountLimit: In both size of a unit and number of characters in the army.
* BagOfSharing: Very slightly subverted, though, in that the amount of items a unit can hold is dependent upon the classes that compose it.
* BigDamnHeroes: When it seems like the rebel leader is going to be executed by Rhade, two knights just show up out of ''nowhere'' to save him. It's an even bigger CMOA when you learn [[spoiler: It's Destin and Debonair from the first OgreBattle]].
* CantDropTheHero: Magnus is mandatory.
* CaptainErsatz: [[spoiler:Danika is very similar to Persephone of ClassicalMythology. Both were daughters of a Earth Goddess (Demeter/Berthe) who were lured to the Underworld and made Queen of it by another God residing there (Hades/Diablo) and trapped there once they ate a fruit grown there. Only difference is while Hades is actually quite just by Ancient Greek standards, Dialbo is evil, and Danika was corrupted by them, but gets better after you defeat her]].
* CharacterPortrait: Even the messengers have a portrait.
* ColorCodedArmies: The enemy units always wear red [[spoiler:no matter whether you're fighting for Palatinus or the Revolutionary Army]]. Even friendly units you fight during training are red.
* CombinationAttack: With high enough morale and correct elemental typing, caster classes can do this. Soldiers in the same row attacking the same target can combine attacks too.
* TheComputerIsACheatingBastard: The computer has access to certain classes despite said characters never meeting the prerequisites of said classes. You'll see Paladins and Black Knights of a level WAY lower than that necessary to meet the class requirements. The computer is also not limited in his number of squads to deploy the way you are.
* CriticalHit: In addition to dealing double damage, it also knocks the recipient back a row, if possible.
* DefeatMeansPlayable: True for a few characters, such as Liedel and Biske.
* DoNotDropYourWeapon: Defeated bosses topple over and let their weapon go.
* EscortMission: You have one where you must escort protect Yumil, but thankfully he does have four Black Knights protecting him, a high level melee class that you won't get until much later in the game, so he's not in much danger.
* EvilIsNotAToy: It's one thing to summon denizens of the underworld to serve you, but to ''willingly'' give a person who doesn't like being used by you the powers of a demigod? The Holy Lodission empire ain't exactly run by geniuses.
* FirstNameBasis: General Godeslas. Godeslas is his FIRST name. As one LP says "It's like if he went around getting called General Gary".
* FlashOfPain: The color is different depending on the element of the attack, too.
* GeoEffects: Certain units fight better and move quicker through different terrain, and a unit occupying a stronghold gets a defensive bonus.
* GuestStarPartyMember: In an early mission, an uncontrollable Yumil leads a unit with four Black Knights across Mylesia.
** Ankiseth, [[spoiler:Magnus' dad]] also. He can cast combo magic (by himself) and comes with two Cataphracts. [[spoiler:Ankiseth's squad can then join your army after this mission.]]
* GuysSmashGirlsShoot: The base male class is a Fighter, that uses swords. The base female class is an Amazon, that uses bows.
* HeroesPreferSwords: Not just Magnus, but Ankiseth, Dio, [[spoiler:Destin and Debonair]] too.
* InformedEquipment: Weapons change, but no matter what headgear or armor you put on, a character's clothing remains the same.
* InUniverseGameClock: Night and day. [[NPCScheduling Some events can be triggered only during certain times of the day, too.]]
* InvisibleWall: Even though some maps are linked (where the final fortress of one mission will become the starting point of the next one), you can't go from region to region without accessing the overworld. This actually proves beneficial for hunting down leaderless units.
* JobSystem: As long as a character fulfills the statistical and alignment requirements, they can change classes between missions or while not deployed.
* LuckStat: Affects dodge and critical hits... probably. For females, also affects the chances of becoming an Angel Knight upon death.
* MonsterAllies: Wyverns, dragons, hellhounds, and plenty more.
* MultipleEndings: There are many different endings, with scenes depending on which characters you recruited throughout the game. The [[GoldenEnding Golden Ending]] depends upon having a middling to high Chaos Frame.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Godeslas, but Baldwin comes in right after, and gets rid of any sympathy you might have for him.
* NoBulkDiscounts: You'll end up buying a lot of Heal Leaves and Power Fruits for your army, and though you may have saved the entire region from a cruel and tyrannical oppression, you won't be getting a price cut.
* NoCampaignForTheWicked: Like it or not, you're going to [[spoiler:join the rebellion]]. Averted, though, in that you can make Magnus chaotic or play with a low chaos frame, capturing cities instead of liberating them.
* NoPointsForNeutrality: Averted. Many classes won't be able to promote to their respective upgrades if their alignments are too far to either end of the scale.
* OptionalCharacterScene: Bosses all have an introduction when you first encounter them. If you engage them using a character with which they have a relationship (usually Magnus), you'll be treated to a special scene between the two.
* OptionalPartyMember: Many characters depend upon having a high or low Chaos Frame, visiting certain places with certain characters, or having certain other characters in your army in order to be recruited.
* PaletteSwap: The middle forms of the six elemental dragons are identical in appearance save for coloration.
* PlayerPersonalityQuiz: A series of questions asked in the beginning of the game will determine the composition of your starting army, as well as your first Elem Pedra.
* Plunder: Most enemies drop stuff after they die. Some items are rare weapons or components to unlock special classes.
* PointOfNoReturn: Happens temporarily several times, though you can usually return much later in the game.
* PreviousPlayerCharacterCameo: [[spoiler:Destin]] shows up briefly in the first half of the game, and can later be recruited if you have a high Chaos Frame.
* PrestigeClass: Most classes have an advancement that gives them better statistical upgrades during level ups, access to more gear, and more frequent or different attacks.
