Revier's Stuff of Dubious Value

So I got through Chapter 1 of Tactics Ogre: Reborn today. It was fine. Arguably good, even. Let's get the negatives out of the way first. I was personally disappointed to see the combat being heavily skill based again. There was a certain simplistic charm to the combat of the original, and while I get why they added skills to make it seem more appealing to a modern audience(who likely have experienced Final Fantasy Tactics and thus have their expectations shaped by it), it does take away from it. This version also uses the pseudo Shakespearian, theatrical script of the PSP version, with some mild edits. I'm personally not a big fan of it, I like purple prose but sprinkling it everywhere just makes the dialogue feel a lot less natural and thus a lot less emotional than the original. I also felt like most fights were too easy. Now, granted, this is the very first chapter of the game, it's supposed to ease players into it, and even in the original these weren't hard battle

  This is the first portion of the fourth chapter of my Impostor Factory parody. I had published it on the Freebird Games discord on November of last year, with the intent of finishing the series, but since then I've grown increasingly pessimistic about both the franchise and the company's overall direction. Thus, I see little chance of finishing this project, or ever making any fan content for the Sigmund Corporation franchise again. I hope that you'll find this bit enjoyable, despite that. Many apologies.

 So this is something I made on a whim, just because I thought it would be neat if it existed. Obviously, it's not affiliated to either Kan Gao or Freebird Games, and I doubt there's going to be a bunch of new converts rushing to play the game due to this, but hey, you never know! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=li2SVrV0YDI Enjoy!
