{{work}}
* [[Better Than Canon]]: Quite a few people prefer the good ending of ''The Knight of Lodis'', where {{spoiler|Alphonse and his girlfriend live happily ever after}} to the canon ending, where {{spoiler|Alphonse loses everything he ever cared for and becomes the bitter, nihilistic warlord Lans Tartare}}.
* [[Complete Monster]]: Death Master Nybbas Obderhode is a completely fucked up person. When his son Debordes was executed by Barbatos for rebelling, Nybbas made his corpse a guinea pig for his necromancy research, turning him into a walking corpse. While he serves Barbatos, he couldn't care less on who wins just so long he can continue his research about necromancy, with no regards of souls of the dead or living. No wonder [[I Hate You, Vampire Dad|his priestly daughter Orias hate him so much...]] And if you think he's not THAT bad... then his [[Moral Event Horizon]] would be {{spoiler|him zombifying of Guildus}} in Neutral route. And if you go to the other route, he {{spoiler|zombifies Leonard and Zaebos}}. The Chaotic route of the PSP remake ''ramps this [[Up to Eleven]]'' with his treatment to his daughter Cressida. Of most ''Tactics Ogre'' villains... Nybbas tops in the 'evil' department.
** Cardinal Barbatos orders the ethnic cleansing of Walsta/Walister and institutes ''concentration camps'' such as Baramus/''forced slave labor camps'' such as Balmamusa. If that wasn't really the cinch of it, Jenounes' backstory also cements him as one. He ordered the massacre of Oxyones' village on Jenounes' squadron on the claim that they were cultists, but in truth, they just stored anti-Barbatos movement and overall innocent. And then there's the fact that he executed Debordes just because he's part of anti-Barbatos movement, enabling Nybbas to do his way with him. And he's still ''lightweight'' compared to Nybbas...
* [[Ensemble Darkhorse]]: Deneb Rhode, the [[Cute Witch]] [[Mad Scientist]], the only characters to appear in every game in the series.''
* [[Evil Is Sexy]]: In ''Let Us Cling Together'', Shelly is one of the sisters who started out on the evil side... and is the only one who's got that [[Absolute Cleavage]] displayed. Though she can turn good later.
** Deneb, Endora.
Line 11:
*** Alternatively, since most bosses towards the later half of the game are low alignment and thus more vulnerable to white magic, Princess + 2 Seraphim with your choice of unit to do the tanking (Platinium Dragon anyone?) means a veritable hailstorm of white magic hit-all attacks.
** Haborym in ''Tactics Ogre'' may count as well. He's a good Swordmaster, but due to his initially high Dexterity (and high growth too), all his status magic has high chance of hitting. So give him a Petrify (even if he has Fire affinity), and watch your enemies turn to stone with nobody to cure it.
** ''Tactics Ogre''... where to begin? Archers are almost game breaking from the beginning, what with extended range on high ground and no counter attacks. But more likely offenders are pretty much every single thing found in [[Bonus Dungeon|Hell Gate]]. Dragon magic hits every enemy on the map, or creates grossly overpowered swords, or lets you infinitely reset a character to lvl 1 without losing stats (yes, you can repeat this for unlimited stats), etc. If you even get partly into Hell Gate, the end battles will be easier than the first battle in the game as a result of all the game breaking booty you acquire. Canopus in ''Let Us Cling Together'', moreso in the PSP version since Archers got toned down. Canopus flies, is an extreme crack shot and has an overall powerful stats, including good dodging rate. He's been called a mini-[[Final Fantasy Tactics|Orlandu]] this way.
* [[Ho Yay]]: Magnus and Yumil in ''[[Ogre Battle 64]]''.
* [[I Liked It Better When It Sucked]]: Granted, Alocer would have fit a bit better (and have been more faithful to the source material) but fans weren't glad that her name was changed to Arycelle.
* [[Magnificent Bastard]]: Baldwin Glendale. Dude like ''defines'' this trope.
** Also {{spoiler|Rashidi from the same game. If the player's Chaos Frame is low enough, they receive a special ending which implies the entire game was just one massive ploy on his part so he could be resurrected}}.
* [[Player Punch]]: {{spoiler|For the ''Tactics Ogre'' PSP remake, if you choose the Chaos route... Vyce will kill the new girl Ravness ''right off bat''. Which is basically: Pick who's gonna die, Ravness (and Ozma later) or Sisteena and Selye}}.
** In ''Tactics Ogre'', some of the bosses may make you think "[[My God, What Have I Done?]]" Not only do you wind up accidentally fighting your own countrymen if you screw up, but a couple death quotes may be sad. For example, one boss dies and mentions that he can't get medicine for his sick daughter now. You find someone wants revenge for killing her husband awhile ago... and starts off by stating that she's ''pregnant'', so you're killing her and her baby. Oh, and the wife's an optional battle, but avoid that, and in Chapter 4, you'll be notified that Sisteena (the girl who briefly appeared in Chapter 1) was Olivia's sister and that wife was holding her captive, sold her to someone and she got killed.
** A lot of the time, a single line will be enough to turn a victory into one of these. One boss says "If I'd had that 30,000 Goth... I could have saved my daughter's life" before kicking it.
