Long ago, there was a time when strength ruled and evil held the world in it's vile clutches... The Age of Zeteginia...

Welcome! Again.

This is The Knight of Lodis, prequel to Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together! Recently, the remake for LUCT came out on the PSP, so I thought I would LP this game to commemorate that.

In gameplay terms, this is kind of like LUCT's little brother. It's shorter, it's easier, and the story is less complex. But it's still decently long, it still offers a decent challenge, and it's story is still pretty good. It also has an interesting "emblem" system, which I'll explain later. It also retains a branching story, though the two branches are not nearly as different as LUCT's branches were, and don't offer the same moral complexity.

But on the downside, some of the lost complexity makes the game feel dumbed down, and the graphics look a bit too much like FFTA graphics. Regardless, it's still quite a fun ride.

Just as a heads up: I don't know as much about this game as I do Tactics Ogre: LUCT, and I've never played it all the way through. Also, because of school, I won't be able to keep up the one-a-day format of LUCT. I'll try, but expect some delays.

This LP will contain music from the game just like the last one did.

I just realized that liveblogs have table of contents built in, making this page pointless. To make up for it I'll definitely upload some gameplay today.

Exactly how big is this landmass, anyways? Twice has Belgger been cast away from his best friend, and twice have they coincidentally reunited. Why, most people wouldn't be able to find their car in a parking lot without having it beep, let alone find one familiar face in an area populated by a thousand strangers!

As for the choice, my vote goes towards the first of the two options. It seems cruel to interfere with the affairs of a race that we hardly know and steal their treasure, but there is a great deal at stake here. Plus, a rift has already formed between Rictor and Belgger; backing out on this matter could leave us without a single ally in this unfamiliar land.

Yeah, it's a bit contrived Rictor and Belgger coincidentally run into each other twice.

Go for the canon ending.
