Devil Survivor is a tactical RPG I did with the most grinding. Most of the time bidding and rising one specific demon for a Fusion because that freaking demon has a "Mana Surge" ability to increase mana capacity or finding one sepcific elemental resistance trait so the demon I fuse will no longer have any weaknesses.

I like the "you MIGHT not have heard of". So many of these videos have titles like "10 games you've NEVER HEARD OF" and then list Final Fantasy Tactics and Fire Emblem. 😋 This list actually had several games I had never heard of. I fell in love with this genre in 2019 when I started playing FE: Three Houses. From there I moved on to Super Robot Wars, SD Gundam G Generation, Disgaea, Valkyria Chronicles, and eventually got into older previous gen games like Shining Force, Langrisser, Front Mission, and Tactics Ogre. It's my favorite game genre now, and I'm glad it's been getting a lot of love recently, but I'm always up for past games that I misser out on. Great list. Definitely some games I will be checking out. 😁

Energy Breaker was one of those SFC/SNES RPG's that was introduced to me by my Grade 7 classmate, who was an exchange student from Japan and he had his older brother's SFC collection with him when he and his family emigrated to Canada back in the 1990's. I was invited over to his place during the summer and we had taken turns playing it, while he provided a rough translation of the menu prompts and what was going on with the plot. If you guys can get a copy with an English Fan Translation, it's worth a playthrough. Especially with the game being a fun time and sporting a rockin' OST from that console generation.

Also, not a fan of when people blame the algo on vid performance. The reality is that your vocal delivery and script writing needs a lot of work if you want to do deep dives. Your delivery is very formulaic, and your scripts aren't very deeply considered. You are, personally, lacking a lot of experience and insight when it comes to what is essentially literary analysis. This is why your lists are likely a more stable bet for you at this point. I'd urge you to continue making these types of vids while doing more research and studying on literary analysis and auditing your past videos to see where your vocal patterns become monotonous.

PS1 was probably my favourite era for RPGs, generally. Loved Kartia, loved Vanguard Bandits; you should check out the Vandal Hearts games. The first was fun, if straightforward. The second had a really neat mechanic where you would have one of your characters to perform an action and the enemy would have one of their characters perform an action simultaneously. This means if you go to attack a character who's moving that round, you'll hit an empty space. You have to anticipate what the opponent is doing and counter it.
