The less "stretch" a campaign has, the more likely it is to deliver in a timely fashion which is the most important thing.
It's delicious!

You stick them together on a team and they kill bosses in one turn before they get a chance to act.
Saradin, a long bearded old mage in a blue robe holding a gnarled staff, asks to join the rebellion.
Albeleo, a youthful appearing blond mage with a puppet on his shoulder. He is confronting Saradin saying that he is immortal and no one can stop him. Narrator: He was stopped.
Saradin responds to Albeleo "Wrong! You will follow me into eternal sleep!" Don't worry Saradin is fine. Only Albeleo is dead.
This segment stands out the most in the game to me. The good mage Saradin was turned to stone by Rashidi. Knowing there's a way to bring him back, the sculptor Balkas creates many identical statues and trusts his apprentices with the secret to the real one.
#OgreBattle
Rauny, a blond woman in silver armor holding a winged spear in both hands.
After Norn the next character you can get is Rauny. She's insanely strong for when you get her, having 2 all enemy attacks. So strong in fact that you basically can't really even use her because of penalties for fighting enemies lower level than you.
#OgreBattle
After being defeated, Norn, a healer in white with blonde hair, asks you to kill her so she can go be with her Husband. You then have to explain he's alive and have a very awkward conversation about it where she joins your team.
Warren has been promoted directly from mage to lich by using an undead staff immediately followed by the undead ring. He was never even deployed once as a sorcerer, which is the class between Mage and Lich.
Norn GET
Also level 11 Lich Warren lmao
#OgreBattle
Random item "Blood" found. It's used to turn a knight into a Vampire.
Random item "Dragos" found. It's used to turn a Beast Master into a Dragoner
Random Item "Undead" found. It's used to turn a Sorcerer into a Lich. It can also be used to turn a Tiamat into a Zombie Dragon.
Super super lucky with the upgrade items!!
#OgreBattle
Deneb, a witch described as "impossibly beautiful" she's got long blond hair, wearing a witch pointy hat and an off-shoulder top. She taunts the player saying "So you made it all the way here? Pretty good."
After being beaten, she has a dramatic change of attitude "I'm sorrrrry! I really am!"
"It's all my fault, I know. Will you forgive me? Pleeeease? ♥" (Option NO is selected)
"Well, I still have my looks, I guess. Good luck, guys!" Deneb is presumably exiled.
Honestly Deneb is one of my least favorite things about the story because it contradicts the gameplay so much. Deneb is working on the pumpkin magic, so logically, if you wanted it, you should let her keep researching, but forgiving her locks you out of the pumpkin upgrade. #OgreBattle

You can get a werewolf early by sending your fighters to face tank against the boss of Lake Jannenia at night time. They don't actually have to die. Just being hit is enough. #OgreBattle
09.10.2025 02:55 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Octopus getting hit by a Wild Man unit for 3 damage. They normally do over 30 damage on land. They're supported by 3 Amazon units. Collectively all 4 of them cannot out damage the heals by the cleric.
The stats of the octopus. It's currently level 4 and it's one of the free units you get at the start of the game.
Movement types aren't just for speed. They also have a dramatic effect on battle. Units that can fight on water are pretty rare so on maps like Lake Jannenia you can cut off the enemy base with an unkillable octopus. #OgreBattle

Here's Accretion Disk for comparison

Ultima 8 had one of the coolest intros for a game in the mid 90s.
The game itself is a bit hard to play these days. I feel like if you could increase the FOV, overhaul the combat, and make the platforming a little snappier / faster the game would be pretty good.

Nothing they said is wrong, but only technically. You can't just build a feed or use an alternate moderation service. You need alternate everything.
