4.0 out of 5 stars Great Guide, Not very complete., July 19, 2003

This review is from: Ogre Battle 64: Person of Lordly Caliber - Prima's Official Strategy Guide (Paperback)

This is actually a very useful guide. The reason why I am giving it only 4 stars, is that it lacks some very important information. Chaos Frame. This guide does not go into any detail about alignment, and that is very key to the outcome of your game.

For example, if you need low alignment to obtain certain characters, such as Sirens, Archmages, Lichs etc... you would need to train them to up their level, and have them fight HIGH alignment enemies. Fighting high alignment enemies makes yours go down, and fighting low alignment makes yours go up. Not mentioned in guide.

Also, the book does not even mention Chaos Frame. That is how you develop your reputation in the game. Low Frame is when you CAPTURE strongholds vs. LIBERATING them. You cannot monitor your frame throughout the game, in fact you only find that out at the end of them game, but Chaos Frame is KEY to the outcome of the game, and it will effect who decides to join you or not.

In one part of the game, if you answer "....", when Rhade asks you to kill Raskin, you risk the chance of Losing Dio, and you will not get the Zenobians; Aisha, Saradin, Destin, Debonair or Gilbert. Although if you do not have the Zenobians, you would then be able to get Carth and Biske.

This Guide does not explain any of this. But don't get me wrong, it is a very useful tool to have. It gives you a clear picture of what my happen in each board, also it has a very complete and accurate section with Maps, that show you exactly where you can pick up various items. The artwork of this guide is absolutely beautiful. I would recomend to go to a gamefaq website to get more detailed and precise information.

And one more thing, when you are on the map subscreen, go to Hugo Reports and check out events. Make sure you visit often, for you will find "Happy Birthday". You can replay this event and for every 10 years that Magnus has aged, you get a good present.

4.0 out of 5 stars Helps for first-timers, October 1, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Ogre Battle 64: Person of Lordly Caliber - Prima's Official Strategy Guide (Paperback)

This book will be a great help to anyone who has never played an RPG before, just to keep track of everything, but for people who have played the previous Ogre Battles will probably find it to be a waste of money.
