I'm looking for suggesting on a good tactical RPG for one of these platforms: gbc, gba, snes, or ps 1, 2 or 3, preferably the first 3. But if there is a good one on other platforms, I would be interested to hear about it anyway, even though I can't emulate it.
Im a fan of all FF Tactics games, and all ogre series games. In my opinion, these games are the gold standard.
I liked Valkyria Chronicles a lot, but I thought the game lacked character customization and did not have many tactical options for how to win. Also, the cute girls fighting world war 2 thing was stupid, but I got the game when I was 16, when I was still stupid.
Also, if you say Metal Gear Ac!d was amazing, I will follow your suggestions without question.
I don't care if the game has a medieval or sci-fi theme or whatever. Most of the tactics games about modern warfare I've seen have lacked luster, (that Tom Clancy game on PSP specifically), but I would love to play one that was well made.
I will add that I prefer JRPGs to Western ones, but 90 of JRPGs are garbage. However, I don't believe that the popular ones are always the best.
Also, don't suggest Fire Emblem. Or Disgaea. Old fire emblem games have frustrating quality of life issues. And Disgaea is stupidly complicated and requires waaaay too many hours of grinding.
