Why Ogre Battle is called Episode 5, and Tactics Ogre is called Episode 7?
Are episodes 1, 2, 3, 4 & 6 even exist?

There was also The Knight of Lodis for GBA and Person of Lordly Caliber on N64. Not sure which episodes those are, though...

The GBA and NGPC versions are side stories, but still heavily linked to the standard episodes such as finding out that...
*SPOILERS*
the hero from the GBA version is the bad guy from Tactics ogre
*END SPOILERS*
Ogre Battle is Ep 5
Ogre Battle 64 is Ep 6
Tactics ogre is Ep 7
Tactics Ogre for GBA is a side story taking place before Tactics Ogre for the Super Famicom, and the NGPC Ogre Battle is a side story taking place before and between the first ogre Battle.

Strange how I couldn't find any info as to why episodes 1, 2, 3, and 4 don't exist. Maybe because Ogre Battle isn't too popular in English speaking countries, perhaps, but I searched through even Japanese pages, all resulting in nothing.

All the Ogre Battle fan pages I've checked (Which confirm the episode order listed above), never mention the first 4 episodes. So the episodes are either like Star Wars (It was never designed as episode 4, but was later revised after sucess...unlikely, as OB came out as ep V) or like Xenogears (A larger storyline was intended, with the idea being to start in the middle as the first episodes would basically be spoilers for the later episodes lost history).
I'm betting it's probably like xenogears, espically as the guys that did OB were bought out by Square and moved on to Final Fantasy Tactics.

I didn't know people were so in the dark when it came to Ogre Battle information...
Ok, there aren't any eps 1-4 because they started with ep 5. Ogre Battle's creator moved to greener pastures when he developped Final fantasy Tactics for Square.
Then square bought Quest and OB went with it.
And about Xenogears, Namco confirmed a while ago that they have removed Xenogears from the Xenosaga storyline.
So whatever episode Xenogears was; it is not anymore, Namco is making it's own Xeno... saga (get it? tee hee)

I'm pretty in the dark about it myself. The only Ogre games I have/played are Ogre Battle 64 and Tactics Ogre: The Knight of Lodis. I love both to death though. I want to get all the games in the series because of that but the cost vs. my disposable income at this time makes that a little intimidating. There were so many points where I had a chance to get a sealed copy of the NGPC installment for $20 but kept figuring I'd get it later. Now I ever see it.  |
