Although the player starts with a meager army of only six units (with the classes of those units being determined by questions the player answers in the beginning of the game), the army can later blossom to as many as thirty-two.Įach character is unique, being determined by several things: material statistics, of which there are only three, strength, intelligence, and agility alignment, ranging from chaotic to lawful and element, based on the four classical elements. Tactics Ogre: The Knight of Lodis offers a strategic field-and-class based combat system. After Quest was absorbed into and rechristened as Square Product Development Division 4, the development team created Final Fantasy Tactics Advance.

Releasing to strong sales in Japan, the title saw generally positive reviews, with praising going to its graphics, gameplay and storyline. Composers Hitoshi Sakimoto and Masaharu Iwata returned from earlier entries. The aim was to replicate the gameplay and graphic style of Tactics Ogre on the platform while also making a more approachable storyline. Production began at Quest after the company heard about the GBA hardware, envisioning a portable successor to Tactics Ogre. As with Tactics Ogre, the game is mission based, with combat taking place on grid-based battlefields and revolving around character classes and character statistics.

The storyline follows Lodis soldier Alphonse Loeher as he learns of his country's oppression of the neighbouring land of Ovis and eventually turns against his former comrades. It was the last video game developed by Quest before their acquisition by Square. It is a spin-off of Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together, acting as a prequel to the rest of the Ogre Battle series.

It was published in Japan by Nintendo in 2001, and in North America by Atlus USA in 2002. Tactics Ogre: The Knight of Lodis is a tactical role-playing game developed by Quest Corporation for the Game Boy Advance (GBA).
