THANK YOU to Square Enix for providing review codes for the PS4/PS5 versions. I purchased the other versions of Reborn myself. This is a comprehensive review & comparison of Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together for the Super Famicom, Sega Saturn, PlayStation 1, and PSP. It also includes Tactics Ogre: Reborn for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 & PlayStation 5, and Steam. We'll cover content, gameplay, visual, and audio changes among every version of the game. This comparison should inform you of any and all significant differences between each different version of the game. It'll also provide you with enough information so that you can decide which version you'd prefer. It also provides common ground for discussion among which versions others may prefer & the points of contention to refer to in discussion, in addition to clearing up potential misconceptions.

Huge thank you to the NGPlus Discord & Moogles & Mods Discord for their discussion. Thanks to CoffeePotato for his coverage, and thank you to Tiara for providing a lategame save of Reborn to use in this video.

  • As a old man gamer who grew up with pong and Intellivision, I find games such as this more to my liking because my eyesight is going and my coordination is as well. I've been playing this and Fire Emblem games for 25 years. I'm going to give the award to Reborn. It took a bit for me to get used to the new skill system BUT the psp version had major balance issues that reborn has fixed. Plus the RNG as far as recruiting percentages seem more accurate. A 30 percent chance at recruiting is a REAL 30 percent chance now.

    Hopefully Reborn does well so that we could see remakes of Ogre Battle and Ogre Battle 64
  • @CoffeePotato
    Thank You for the shout out! This was a very solidly made and comprehensive review, good stuff!
  • @GreyCartridge
    Fun note about the bad word filter: One of the default clan names—Flamescale—triggers the filter without you even changing it. Seems like people think this is because of “mescal” as in the drug mescaline.
  • @RicochetForce
    The amount of effort and nuance put into Reborn is amazing. They really wanted this game to continue to shine well into the future.
  • That's a lotta version changes 😳 the smoothed sprites in reborn are rough for me though I understand why they changed them
  • @carlos-iv4my
    Shootout to the increible amount of effort put in these comparisons. Sometimes I'm not even interested in the games and still watch it just to appreciate all the labour and documentation put into these.
  • @antiquark6253
    THANK YOU! I was just looking for this comparison a few weeks back and NONODY had it
  • @Dermetsu
    Thanks for taking the time to list our all these differences.
  • @Jasonwfd
    Shoutouts to CoffeePotato? Ok, you actually did your homework. Great job comparing the different versions. Must have taken quite a bit of time. Well done!
  • @benedict6962
    I wasn't expecting this type of video so soon exactly because of how many differences there are
  • @sureokk
    I'm loving Reborn on the switch. I was a huge FFT fan as a teenager but didn't pick up the psp port of tactics ogre because I thought it was a sequel. Sad I missed out on a game I would have loved
  • @AmodeusR
    Thank you for making this video! Awesome as always :P
  • The fact that you still don't have a 100k sub baffles me to no end. You are one of the most underrated video game ports comparison channel ever.
  • @DieselJT
    This really was an amazing video! Extremely through! Loved it!
  • @ChrisTobin603
    Great video! I played the original version but forgot a lot of it when i started Reborn. Was great to see the evolution of the game.
  • @TheMetakev
    Great work! Can tell a lot went into making this video.
  • @jackw5430
    This is such an incredibly important channel for all game lovers - but especially JRPG lovers - in an era of endless re-releases and a lack of game preservation. Bless you!
  • @CamuiKushi
    Holy moly, that's pretty wild how dramatic the changes were between each edition.
