SRPGs

For the Art Alone I'm checking out Eternal Poison. I'll probably check more out if I end up liking the game.

What other SRPGs are worth a look. I had Generation of Chaos for a short time and it was horrible.

 

Fire Emblem
Arc the Lad

I wouldn't suggest NIS, their games seem to hardly ever evolve. I hear good things about Soul Nomad though. People say its the closest to a WRPG styled one that you can get to.

 

If you ever get your hands on a PSP I recomend the following.

. Jean D'arc
. Wild Arms XF
. Disgaea 1 (Rumor D2 is comming next year)

 

Disgaea, Super Robot Taisen, Fire Emblem, Front Mission, etc, etc.

 

All the Shining Force games are great up to III.

Also forgot Dragon Force.

 

Ogre Battle should be noted, and everything with the word Tactics in it

 

How Japanese literate do I need to be to play Super Robot Tiasen?

How're the localized versions?

 

Strat RPG's are some of my FAVS. Tactics Ogre and FFT for the win

I haven't tried any new ones lately, they seem to cartoony...

 

Battle Robot Retsuden is a nice SRPG for the SFC, its like a Super Robot Taisen Game with all the licenses and music and stuff.

2 other unmentioned games would be Sakura Taisen, if you dont mind a bit of Novel-like Adventure around the Battles, and Wachenröder (i love the style of that game). There are english scripts for both on GameFAQs aswell, so you can enjoy the story :dance:

 

I bought Dragon Force for the Saturn, that game is HARD.

 

I recommend Langrisser. There are I believe two on Genesis that you can play in english and then Der Langrisser on SNES. If you only play one, play Der Langrisser on SNES.

 

Crap, that reminded me: I bought Langrisser like 2 or 3 years ago and have yet to play it...holy shit, I have so many fucking PS2 games I haven't even touched...

 

Which did you buy? There are a handful of Langrisser games. The only one that came out here was the first game that was renamed Warsong and it was for Genesis. I don't have it though I'd like to get a copy someday, but I do own Der Langrisser for Super Famicom. Awesome game.

 

I got Growlanser. The special LE version Working Designs made. Crap, I always mix those names up. :lol:

 

the ole' Famicom (and 3 SNES, MegaDrive, PSX, GC etc) Captain Tsubasa games are a mix of classic and SRPG, following a soccer theme in accord to the anime. Having finished the first 2 on the Famicom I highly reccomend them if you're into 8bit magic. The graphics and effects were pretty amazing for the day. The games are by tecmo (the SRPG ones)
