Reborn Trophy Guide • PSNProfiles.com (2024)

Tactics Ogre: Reborn is a port/polish of the PSPversion of Tactics Ogre from the original Playstationdays. It is the grandy-daddy to the Tactics genre, and if you played Final Fantasy Tactics, you will recognize a lot in this game, as it structurally feels similar, minus JP.

The game consists of doing strategic battles which can take upwards of 30-60 minutes per fight depending on skill level, and as quick as five. Its all about taking your time, and devising a plan to handle the battle at hand. Outside of the final battle of the game, which has 2 phases, you can save and arrange your party for the specific battle. You can move in/out units, change gear, and position them differently at the start.

The game is not meant to be played quickly. So enjoy it!

While the guide says there are 3 playthroughs necessary, that's really only of the story and from certain points. You can do everything from a single save. With the World Tarot system, you can rewind the story to specific points to make different decisions. You can then replay the story missions with your OP team, just being level capped.

The difficulty in this game is more around the skill of the player than the level of the character. If you have the right team and or know how to handle specific units, this game can become quite easy, early in the game. The game does require a specific level of skill to play, but is forgiving enough to be entry level into the genre.

Skills are learned automatically when you level, and switching to a different class will get you all the skills for that class for the level you are. Leveling with Melee classes will net you more melee attributes on each level up and leveling with mage classes will net you more mage attributes. So when you use training to level up after the Union Level cap has been raised, level up using classes for attributes you want. However, in the end game, they do not matter as much unless you are min/maxing your character.

The game allows you, after a specific point in the story, to rewind turns to get different outcomes using the Chariot Tarotby pressing during battle. At first this is only 10 plays, but as you play, it will go up to 50. If you lose a battle, you can go back up to 50 turns, or start over from the beginning.

Use this to take back parries, misses, and bad attacks on your troops.

Note: If you rewind a turn and do the same thing, it will result in the same results. However, if you move your unit to a different square or use a different action, it will alter the RNG and you can get a different result. This goes for going back two turns to a player A to do something else or be on a different square, and then you can do the same move as before with Player B and it will get a different result. This works with loot drops as well.

Tactics Ogre: Reborn offers multiple endings depending on decisions you make along the way. There are three timelines at play in this game. Chaos, Lawand Neutral. At the end of Chapter one, the timelines split between Chaosand Law, and at the end of ChaosChapter two, it splits again between Chaosand Neutral. When you reach Chapter four, the timelines converge to a single route. The decision after the end of the Barnicia Castle in Chapter four will trigger different endings as well.

In Chapter four, after the battle at Barnicia Castle, you have to make a decision with Catiua. If you go about apologizing for leaving her, she will join up with you and when you go back to PhidochCastle, you will obtain the Princessmarks. This is a more offensive class for Catiua, and is rated one of the best classes.

If you go about justifying your decision, a scene will play out and you will obtain Lordmarks at Phidoch Castle instead. There is no way to use both in a single playthrough. You would have to use the World Tarot to get both. You do not want to do that without hitting a new Anchorpoint to save your progress in the timelines. Lordclass is different in that it allows you to have ALL the skills of any class that Denamhas been in your playthrough, the highest level you were with that class. So, before switching to Lordclass, you want to switch to EVERY other class at waiting until you are 35, and then switching. This will allow you to pick and choose from other classes for Duel Wield from Ninja, Berserkfrom Berserker, etc. There are quite a few game breaking builds, so a quick google search can net you all you need.

Shamanclass is considered a game breaking class, and when you have multiple, all the battles you come across seem like a joke.

1. If on Chaosroute, try to make sure you recruit Cressidaand all four of the sisters.
2. Get the Lordor Princessclass, and learn how to use them. They can be one of the best classes.
3. Work on aquiring Denebby recruiting one of each type of dragon early if possible. Only auction them at Deneb'sstore which rotates daily to a different city.
   • There are a bunch of requirements to get her, but that is one of the most time consuming.
