Recommendations For Some SRPG's

[Saku]

For some portable action:

Tactics Ogre: The Knight of Lodis
Zone of the Enders: The Fist of Mars
Super Robot Wars: Original Generation
And FF Tactics Advance. All GBA games

Then there are the 3 Advance Wars games, 2 for GBA and one for DS, though it's lighter than the previously mentioned games.

Geez Trix... you mention Advance Wars but neglect Fire Emblem... How can you forget FIRE EMBLEM... *ahem*

Phantom Brave is cool, as is La Pucelle.... once you get over the "cute" factor.

Stella Deus I didn't play much, so I can't comment on that. Not sure if Growlanser series counts as SRPG, but that is a good series... but once again... potentially complicating.

Suikoden Tactics has the potential to become frustrating to a new SRPG player, especially if you aren't familiar with Genso Suikoden in general.

Tactics Advance is good for new peoples.... its easy... except for the laws which can get annoying. I would almost say play Tactics Advance before playing Tactics, but Tactics has the better storyline and more in depth strategy.

You forget that Fire Emblem isn't one of 'my' games :P I knew someone else would mention it anyway, but I couldn't reccomend it personally. The whole 'Characters Dying Permanently' isn't my cup o' tea.

you mean is too hard and realistic for you? j/k but really all you have to do is restart that mission, it's really not that big of a deal.

Oh yes, and Shining Force 1/2, I forget if there was a third one, but I've played the first two and they're godly awesome games considering they were on the Genesis. Might have a GBA re-release, I'm not sure.

Shining Force 3 came out on the Sega Saturn. The GBA re-release of the original Shining Force is pretty mediocre though. =/

[Dreddz]

To whoever said Shining Force, YES YES YES.

I don't know, a rolled up magazine works quite well. (sorry. I couldn't resist. )

But yeah, the Fire Emblem games are definitly worth playing.

Shining Force is the best SRPG ever made. Much better than FF Tactics.

But not as good as Fire Emblem 4! That had huge maps.

It *is* that big of a deal. Playing a map for 45 minutes just to have one of my guys ambushed by 3 people and get killed is too much time wasted to go through it all again.

I'm not the kind of guy who can waste time on one game like that. If the game I had allowed you to save your progress during a mission that you could go back to, it would have been more bearable. But after being almost finished with a mission and having someone killed, the only option to keep that character was to restart. So I just shut the game off and went on to something else. This was around the time when I stopped using ROMS and started buying games. If I had played it on an emu it wouldn't have been a problem.

Nothing against the game itself, it's just not my 'cup o' tea' as I mentioned :P

No, just spreading the truth... more than usual.
