Best Strategy Rpg?

[Claym99]

Well, the title says it all. So far, Final Fantasy Tactics Advance wins hands down. But, until I can get playable speeds on a GBA emulator I need something else to play...any suggestions?


Edit: By the way, I've beaten Shining Force I and II and am at the moment playing Bahamut Lagoon

No idea if its a "stragegy rpg"
but chronotrigger is nice... (snes)

 

[Draken]

Phantasy Star IV (which owns, nearly finished it) and chrono trigger are pure rpg's, no strategy rpg's at all.
I only know Shining Force (gamegear or the port for sega cd) though as far as strategy rpg's go.

nope but another one to try is Tactics Ogre, if you havent already

 

[halo9]

Got to be Zelda: A Link To The Past on the SNES for me.. If you've already finished it, try the Parallel Worlds hack that came out around New Year's Eve, before the Big N hunt it out..

if you liked the shining force games in genesis,

have a try with shining force cd. It seems to run fine with picodrive

 

[moose]

Try Shadowrun (SNES), fantastic cyberpunk RPG.

Updated post with pictures (note to folks: these are what he means by a Strategy RPG, a la Shining Force/Final Fantasy Tactics).

Jutei Senki

Hiouden ~ Legend of the Scarlet King

.





Genesis:

.

C64/Amiga/ST/ZX/CPC:

Laser Squad

 

[Claym99]

Thanks, that was really...thorough.

I'll make sure to play all of those.

Do you have a personal favorite?

Do you have a personal favorite?

Probably Front Mission. Love retooling the mechs in the shop between missions

Fire Emblem 4 is also really sweet. I played through a fair bit of FEDA in Japanese before it was translated (difficult since I don't know Japanese), and that was great too.

Laser Squad used to be one of my favorite games of all, but I haven't played it in several years. It may seem clunky these days, but damn it's good--plays a lot like the old board game Space Hulk, with overwatch and such.

Note: all of the SNES ones require translation patches -- but since you're playing Bahamut Lagoon you must know how those work

I still own one ^_^ It rocks! I'm starting the download ^_^ thanks for advice.

For strategy without the RPG part, I'd recommend the Wars series. I've been playing a lot of famicom wars

 

[Apple]

How can we all be forgetting Ogre Battle: March of the Black Queen for SNES?

 

[SeX1eStAsaBa]

I'm play Bahamut Lagoon now. It's really good. I'm trying to level up like crazy >__<.

They have some gundam ones for nes or something. Never played, but just wanted to mention it.

 

[arucard]

I can't believe FFT advance was mentioned and this one never was.... tactics ogre: knight of lodis for GBA.

I couldn't play FFT Advance either on emulator because its too slow on my computer, but tactics ogre worked fine for me. It is an amazing strategy RPG, especially considering half the RPG's people have mentioned so far arent even SRPGs....

 

[Alghazanth]

Fire Emblem series on nes,snes and gba.
