Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together (J) (https://www.vgmaps.com/Atlas/SuperNES/index.htm#TacticsOgreLetUsClingTogether)
For this month's "Maps Of The Month" featurette, I wish to draw your attention to YelseyKing's Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together (J) (Super NES) maps.
Valeria is a nation ravaged by war, with three groups fighting for leadership. After his home town is massacred, the protagonist Denam, along with his sister Catiua and his friend Vyce, seek justice against the Dark Knights, and fight to bring peace to the kingdom of Valeria.
Though part of the Ogre Battle franchise, Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together (J) features considerably different gameplay, and has become part of its own sub-series including the GBA prequel Tactics Ogre: The Knight Of Lodis. Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together (J) also predates Final Fantasy Tactics (PSX), as well as Suikoden Tactics (PS2), Dynasty Tactics (PS2), La Pucelle: Tactics (PS2), Onimusha Tactics (GBA), Dungeons & Dragons Tactics (PSP), The Lord Of The Rings Tactics (PSP), and more, all strategy games with "Tactics" in their name, in an interesting case where games of different series but of the same genre share part of their title.
With over 200 gorgeous maps of this landmark title, YelseyKing's first submission to VGMaps is clearly deserving of the Maps Of The Month honour. He has taken the time to render maps twice whenever applicable: one version with items indicated, and an unmarked version to admire the beauty of these isometric graphics. With no stone left unturned across all of Valeria, YelseyKing will surely help you and Denam lead the Liberation Army to victory!
So to recognize the effort put into tackling this tactical RPG, YelseyKing's Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together (J) (Super NES) maps will be known as VGMaps.com's Maps Of The Month for March 2014.
