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.

How ironic. As I begin reading this the same day as I decided to play my old time favorite "Ogre Battle: The March Of The Black Queen".

Knight of Lodis is a fun game Shame the ending is such a downer

Actually does bring the question, you ever played Ogre Battle: MotBQ or Ogre Battle 64 Person of Lordly Caliber?

I played Ogre Battle 64. I considered L Ping it, actually, but I'm not that good at it. I played about halfway through Mot BQ before I quit out of frustration.

Orcus, it's great to hear from you again! Once again, I should thank you for introducing me to this series; I recently finished Chapter 2-Law of LUCT, and save for a few challenging battles I've had to completely restart a few times, I'm definitely enjoying myself. I wish you the best of luck on this latest challenge, and hope to see another update soon.

Wondered about doing an LP of Mot BQ, but not sure how fun this would turn out to be.

I would be quite interested in seeing someone actually beat the game, so I'd say go for it. Up to you, of course.
