Gah! I've only played MGS 1 and it was amazing, I still remember that it had one of the best final boss battles ever, along with Final Fantasy VI and others including ...drum roll... FINAL FANTASY XII: REVENANT WINGS!!! I am buying a Playstation 3 for Final Fantasy XIII but I wonder if I can get it earlier.

Roogle, this game should be pretty popular but not a blockbuster. It's Famitsu score is 34/40. I hope it's not overlooked, like Front Mission 1 for Nintendo DS was last Fall.

Tactical/Real-Time Strategy rpg's from Fall 07 and Spring 08
8-14 DS Heroes of Mana
8-14 DS Luminous Arc
8-14 PSP Dungeons & Dragons Tactics
!8-21 PSP Jeanne D'Arc
9-18 PS 2 Growlanser: Heritage of War
9-25 PS 2 Soul Nomad & The World Eaters
!10-9 PSP Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions
10-23 DS Front Mission
10-30 PSP Disgaea
!11-5 Wii Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn
!11-20 DS Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings
3-11 PSP Wild Arms XF
4-15 DS Rondo of Swords
5-13 DS Drone Tactics
!6-24 DS Final Fantasy Tactics A2: The Sealed Grimoire

A ! before the date means the game is a more important one. Also, it should be noted that Front Mission is a great game, I wish it was more popular, it's a 9/10 score from me, I may buy it again and beat it if I had the time/money. I beat FF XII: RW and am beating FF T and will beat FF T A2. I need to rent Jeanne D'Arc, see how it is.
Release Dates

In Usa it's highly unlikely that FF T A2 gets commercials. I hope it's June release stems from just a delay in localizing it and not from an expectation that the game isn't good enough. Also, when is ASH: Archaic Sealed Heat, a Mistwalker tactical rpg for DS, coming out? Must be June/July for that one also.

DS and PSP have the most tactical and rts rpg's from Fall 07/Spring 08. DS has 7 and PSP has 5, although I included FF T A2 even though it's coming out in June 24 2008. PS 2 has 2 games and Wii has one game. Interesting that tactical/rts rpg's have moved to handhelds mainly!
