Ogre Battle Saga Timeline.

[Zento Ravenvigor]

Some of you guys & gals might be confused where all the Ogre Battle & Tactics Ogre games take place okay I will try the best I can to explain it.

In truth Tactics Ogre: the Knight of Lodis is the beginning since it's a prequel to all the other Ogre Battle & Tactics Ogre games since it's on one character's past Alphonse Loeher being that the Knight of Lodis is on him it explains on how he became the Death Templar Lanselot Tartartos. Then Legend of Ogre Battle Gaiden: Prince of Zenobia that game serves as a direct prequel to the March of the Black Queen since that it's a side story, then the March of the Black Queen. Now both Ogre Battle 64: Person of Lordly Caliber & Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together they began the same time since they are both after the March of the Black Queen.

I hope this helps you guys & gals if you want to extend a little more on the Ogre Battle Saga lore feel free to do so whatever you like.

Lemme see if I can clean this up and clarify a bit.

Many thousands of years before the games, or maybe hundreds, it isn't really clear, there was a great war between the heavens, with "angels" but not in the Judeo-Christian way, and Ogres (which just means demon, ogres are a kind of demon in Japanese mythology). Bunch of heroes came up, fought, big old war, all that good stuff. There were 3 heroes that managed to essentially win the war, and became immortal up in the heavens. They created a number of magic weapons. The entire Ogre Battle Saga actually centers around these weapons in a way.

Alphonse Loeher is from Lodis, he goes over to Overia in Tactics Ogre: Knight of Lodis, and has a little adventure. **SPOILERS**
**SPOILERS**
**SPOILERS**
**SPOILERS**
essentially the cannon story is he joins the Church of Lodis with Cybelle, Cybil, something like that. His lady love dies, and so does his best friend, and he kind of hardens as a person. Realizes that his being...merciful is, in the end, why his love died. So he cuts that part out. Loeher wasn't his real name, it is Tartaros, he comes from a powerful family in Lodis, part of a military order essentially. This isn't ever explicitly stated, but seems to indicate Lanselot Tartaros' military ties are what led the Church to become more successful in their militarization.

Years later, Prince of Zenobia happens. As stated, it leads into Episode V, Ogre Battle: March of the Black Queen. After MOTBQ, Lanselot and Lanselot have their duel, Tartaros loses his eye, and all of it was over a magic weapon. Those also play a role in MOTBQ, though it is made to be more about the warriors that wield the weapons.

After MOTBQ, the main characters split off, some going to Episode VI, Person of Lordly Caliber, and some going over to Episode VII, Tactics Ogre.

So really, they are:
Episode 4.9, Tactics Ogre: Knight of Lodis
4.9999, Prince of Zenobia,
5, Ogre Battle,
6. OB64
7. Tactics Ogre
8. Please give to us!

8 is Lunatic Dawn Passage of the Book. Seriously any Ogre Battle fans must play it. It's like OB and FF had a baby. It's on Steam and has a great fan translation.

In response to someone giving a list of the games in episode order. Saying that the 8th episode is this game that has nothing to do with Ogre battle series.

8 is just a joke. Obviously it's not actually part 8. English your second language?

And no, I did not actually say that it's part of Ogre Battle.

No, you just directly implied it. 8 isn't just a joke. There is an Episode VIII partly written. Matsuno wrote it in college, before he'd even made his first game. He has fleshed it out again and again as he has gone back to Xytegenea.

Ok the autism level is too high for me here. Anyway, Lunatic Dawn is the best non-OB, OB-like game (especially the combat and party building) I've ever played. Do whatever you want with that.

Wow. "the autism level". You're a real piece of crap, pal.

I'm actually not. It's just that most of the time I don't have a bunch of joyless anal retentive spergs dissecting simple lighthearted / half-joking comments. I forgot I was on Steam. This is why I rarely post here. But I love TO, so.

You tried to make a joke. It flopped completely. So you could talk about a game nobody cares about, because it is slightly related in play style to Ogre Battle. Which has nothing to do with the topic. And now you are mad that people didn't like your attempted joke and derailing, so are insulting people and being hateful. Yeah...no you suck dude. You for sure suck.

Aww, you mad that you got reported for insulting autistic people? Maybe don't be a jerk.

Maybe don't call people a piece of crap if you don't wanna be reported.

Maybe don't act like a horrible human being if you don't want to be called out on it.

Calling someone a piece of crap, a jerk and
"they suck" is also horrible and if the moderators enforce evenly, he will also get a warning.

Okay. What part of that was the "joke?" Pretty sure jokes are supposed to be funny and amusing. All you did was make a false statement, not a "joke." So... yeah...
