This thread has probably been done, but what are the best S-RPGs of all time? After the disgusting release of Banner Saga (not even going to get into it) it makes me want to play an actual GOOD S-RPG.
I've played and enjoyed Final Fantasy Tactics, Tactics Ogre (didn't care for the portable versions of either), Shining Force 1 and 2 and CD), Vandal Hearts 1/2 (okay, nothing fancy). Arc the Lad (way too simple) Arc the Lad 2 (great game, poor SRPG). And probably others I've forgotten.
What are some other games I've missed? I've never touched the Fire Emblem series so I'm sure there's some gold there.
Final Fantasy Tactics is one of my favorite games of all time, but the fact that you need to grind do stupid exploits a lot of the time is a huge turnoff. Like, beating on your own party members for JP. Just dumb.
Disgaea and the other games by this developer are aspie grinder fests. No strategy to be seen; just grinding over and over and over until you wanna die. I want actual strategy.
