It’s hard to beat FFT in my book. Like a lot of people it was my first tactics/strategy rpg. However, I’ve had a LOT of fun with Triangle Strategy since it’s release. It has a very similar vibe to FFT.

@nastycanadian1975 9 ай бұрын

Final Fantasy Tactics was a bit tough at the end. The main Boss is a Royal Pain as he is able to teleport all over the place and you have to have the right skills to trap his sorry ass. Once you do ( took me like 3-4 times ) you can just wash the floor with him. Just make sure you are way up in lv and job skills to make an array of ways to nab him.

Triangle Strategy floored me! It was AMAZING! The characters are interesting and the story is amazing!! I love political intrigue! I replayed it multiple time to do every single path, including the “secret best ending” and never regretted a single second of it!

@2:19 David states that the original version of Tactics Ogre was on the Playstation 1. The original Tactics Ogre actually was a 16 bit title on the Super Famicom. There was a later port to the PS1 of Tactics Ogre however. It's a slight mixup akin to saying the original Final Fantasy 5 was a Playstation game, when in fact it was a Super Famicom game later ported to PS1

Funny thing, I got Fell Seal on my PC and had my kids "make their characters" my younger son wanted to be a fighter, my oldest wanted to be a healer. In combat they got to tell me what their character does. My younger son, being the bull he is, always charged in, and his brother would spend the entire fight trying to protect/heal him all while getting frustrated with him for being reckless. Some really fun gaming memories. Great list as always. Great time to be a JRPG/SRPG fan.

I really DESPERATELY want them to release FFT:WotL on PC. I grew up with Nintendo, not with Sony, so unfortunately I've never had the pleasure of playing FFT. I did get to play FFTA and FFTA2 (the latter which I ADORED), so I think it's only reasonable that Squeenix releases WotL on Steam. Just for me. 🥺

@jerrygomez3825 9 ай бұрын

There was a leak some time ago that mentioned a few games that would be released on modern consoles, and one of the games was fft. I know they're simply rumors, but one of the other games mentioned was tactics ogre, and that released already, so I feel it's just a matter of time.

great list, David!! i've played and beat 7 of the 10 listed here, with the other three already sitting in my backlog. won't be long til i get to them, as strategy RPGs are my JAM. i audibly cheered when you mentioned Fell Seal and Symphony of War, those games deserve a bigger spotlight. i would like to also shout out a trio of games not on this list that are real hidden gems that i think any fan of this genre would greatly appreciate - the Rad Codex trio of games, Voidspire Tactics, Avlora Tactics, and Horizon's Gate. they're all on steam, and if you're reading this comment, please look them up! they're all very good and deserve so much more attention!!

The key to me playing a SRPG is it having exploration. I dont dislike SRPG combat, rather I actually love it, but I hate 99% of them not having it. Thats why the Shining Force series is still in my all time top 5. I liked Fire Emblem 3 houses as well because of the stuff you could do in between missions, but I still would have liked exploration in it.

Having wed FFT in 1997, I'm glad to see so many people inspired by it. Triangle Strategy is getting a lot of my attention right now, and I have high hopes for the Front Mission remakes. What I'd really adore is a detailed mecha strategy game with a FFT-level realpolitik story driving it, but I know that's perhaps harder to pull off well in a modern setting.

We're still in the remake era of strategy RPGs, but hope is on the horizon. I'm surprised Diofield is so high- I think the main criticism is that combat is restrictive. I played the demo and paused on the full game because you can never use more than 4 characters, so combat didnt feel like it progressed or evolved. In the same breath you mentioned Ogre Battle 64, which is a favorite of mine. If you watched the Nintendo Direct recently I'd love to hear your thoughts on the Unicorn Overlord trailer!

@clixpsi 9 ай бұрын

Sorry David, but I am compelled to "wEll AcTuAllY" you on calling Advance Wars a FE clone. It's the other way around. Intelligent Systems made Famicom Wars in 1988 and then thought "what if we did the same thing but sword and sorcery instead" and created Fire Emblem in 1990. The explosion in popularity for FE, especially on the SNES, led to FE getting more love over the years compared to its big brother. While the GBA duo are beloved, the rest of the series was just so overshadowed that it basically came to a halt on the DS.

Honestly not liking 3 Houses doesn’t mean you will automatically like Engage. While Engage does do away with the social sim stuff. It still has a hub area with a ton of boring things you have to do between battles and one of the worst stories in modern games. The gameplay is fantastic, but I couldn’t play it past 15 hours or so before putting it away for good. The bad just outweighed the good in the end for me. I honestly haven’t liked either of the recent FE games…they’re too bloated with nonsensical junk and annoying hub areas.

To add a game to this list, I really liked Dark Deity. It's kinda of a Fire Emblem clone, definitely inspired by these games. Is still a fun game and it takes elements from the very first FE games what the newer ones do not use anymore. This is a indie tactical game I can also recommend to anyone who is thirsty for more tactical JRPG's like I am.
