Recommendations For Some SRPG's

[RiseToFall]

I've been playing RPG's for almost a decade now and love each new instalment that I purchase. One genre that I've never really got into was SRPG's, and so I decided it was finally time to give them the green light.

So I was wondering for all the people who enjoy SRPG's, (it seems their are many Disgaea fans here) can you give me some tips on which would be suitable for me.

Keep in mind that I am quite new when it comes to SRPG's and probably won't be able to tackle some of the more complex/difficult games in this genre.

Disgaea comes to mind.

Disgaea.

its like a skill spam version of FFT.

but at the same time, very complex (and exploitable).

Now is this game so complex that a newbie like me won't have a clue as to what I'm doing?

Also if you can on a scale of 1 - 10 what would you say the difficulty of disgaea is. 1 easy - 10 hard

they mock the tutour level, you will love it


in fact... they kinda mock everything o_o

the Intro is classic :3 (IMO)

diffuculty wise 3.... but if you want to do the finer things (like the Item world levels, very very very complex, but its a side thing, so I wont give it 10)

ps: good luck finding this game.

I actually already did, my Gamestop has it used for $69.99. That's a big hit to my wallet.

Check ebay, much cheaper there.

RiseToFall, my good sir, there are indeed many good, nay!, EXCELLENT SRPG's out there which I think you would thoroughly enjoy!

These are the main titles you need to keep a look out for (besides Disgaea).

1: Atelier Iris
2: Makai Kingdom
3: La Pucelle Tactics
4: Phantom Brave

and, possibly,

5: Stella Deus: Gates of Eternity.

The first 4 are a must if you ask me. Atelier Iris is very intensely enjoyable and gorgeous to look at. The sequel, Azoth of Destiny, has recieved some mixed reviews but I think it is certainly well worth having a look at.

Makai Kingdom, La Pucelle Tactics and Phantom Brave are developed by the famous Nippon Ichi (who also developed Disgaea) and I would recommend those too as they have some gorgeous graphics and very humorous storylines as well.

Stella Deus I would recommend only if you are bored and have played through the other games first. It is a little bit more 'hardcore' and the storyline is rather generic, but I'd say it's worth a look

If your asking me which ONE game I would recommend you buy, then it would have to be Makai Kingdom. It's quite different to Disgaea and very addictive.

Hope that helps

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.

Atelier Iris is turn-based, not an SRPG.

All of you forgot to mention Fire Emblem. The shame.

[Bunny]

Makai Kingdom, Phantom Brave and La Pucelle are horrible games. Horrible. Ugh.

I suggest Stella Deus. And also Suikoden Tactics.

[ljkkjlcm9]

uhm.. Fire Emblem... any of em... AWESOME

THE JACKEL

[Lindy]

Vandal Hearts 1/2.

Phantom Brave isnt horrible at all, just has an extremely exploitable combination of gaming physics (and peraps a story to cute for some)
