I've never put the time into it that it deserves. It's fascinating, in that it directly rewards efficiency on the battlefield, in comparison to most subsequent strategy RPGs that allow you to toy with your opponents. (FF Tactics, for instance, indirectly encouraged you to leave one opponent out in la-la land and have your characters execute pointless skills over and over and over again to build up job points. Likewise, I've had many Item World levels in Disgaea where I've left the Gatekeeper sitting there for dozens of turns while I set up a massive Geo Panel combo around him to max out the Bonus meter.) If you screw around in Ogre Battle and the enemies retake liberated cities frequently, your reputation drops and your hope of getting the better endings goes with it.

In return, I offer you... uhm... a cheap Xbox when you want one? Whatever you want?

Heh. I'll have to see if anything's come out for it recently that'd change my opinion on the Xbox. (At present, Panzer Orta's the only exclusive that I know I'd want for it.)
