I like to have the alingment I feel I have (as a person). Even though you can't select your alignment in the same way to which side of the scale does your main character usually fall? Is that just for attaining classes or is it the alignment you feel is yours? I don't prefer an element, I'm ok with anyone. What element do you typically choose when you start a new game of Tactics Ogre/Ogre Battle? Do you just like using it for gameplay or is it your own personal element? I probably think too much, lol, but it's not that hard to connect the dots when you step back and think about how you play some games the way you do. After that, sure, strategy guides, specific builds and routes to raise your chaos frame to where ever you want it. I doesn't really have much to do with the characters, just that I like to mirror myself a bit in my protagonist and make my own choices, at least the first time around. I'm more neutral-minded myself, usually pretty centred but often drifting side to side on the the scale, sometimes a bit optimistic or pessimistic but never to an extreme. In ones like TO, where your main character is any common class for most of the game, I'll make them whatever alignment is needed for the build.

The protagonist will usually be lawful in OB games (mostly because I stick them with Priests and Paladins) where they don't change class. I've stopped questioning it.Īs for alignments I tend to keep the base of my troops neutral so that you only need to nudge them a bit one way or the other to quality for a specific class. Most games that use something similar to the divine inquisition seen in OB/TO usually assign me as, you guessed it, Earth. I tend to pick Earth in other types of games anyway, though it's rarely seen as the strongest in any others. When you put in your date of birth at the beginning of each game in the series it assigns you date on the local calender, mine always falling on Tierra, the month of the Earth dragon, so I just go with it. It doesn't really matter that it's not as useful as Wind of Water in the Tactics games (though it makes little difference in the actual Ogre Battle ones, usually) I tend to pick it because it's my element, just reflected onto a make-your-own protagonist. Myself, I pick Earth for my main character every time. Might as well post in my own thread, lol, even if I sound like I think about some things too much sometimes.
