What are your top 5 Strategy RPGs?
(aka Tactics Ogre, Final Fantasy Tactics, etc.)
Robot, fight like a chicken!
Shining Force
Shining Force CD
Shining Force II
Vandal Hearts
Phantom Brave
(:
Dragon Force
Shining Force II
Shining Force CD
Final Fantasy Tactics
Shining Force
Disgaea
And that's the only srpg I've ever played extensively, so I'm not that qualified to be in this thread. But really, I can't imagine liking any other better (unless it's Disgaea 2) because it has everything I love about rpgs.
final fantasy tactics & front mission 3 are the only 2 that i've dedicated significant time into so those 2 get my stamp of approval, disgaea can barely hold my interest & I've yet to remove the shrink wrap on lapucelle tactics so i'll reserve judgement until i get around to playing it
If xcom ufo defense can be classified as a srpg (and i cant see why not) then it gets my vote for greatest srpg of all time!!
FFT, Tactics Ogre, Fire Emblem, Shining Force, Front Mission 3/4.
theres really a lot of great ones out there. btw, i dont think Fire Emblem and Shining Force really fit with the others, but if you guys count them then fine.
1. Arc the Lad 2
2. Final Fantasy Tactics
3. Shining Force 2
4. Front Mission 3
5. Shining Force
#1 - Dark Wizard
next four in no particular order:
Brigandine (The grand edition is even better - but very hard to find)
Vandal Hearts
Shining Force II
Master of Monsters (genesis version - the playstation one sucks) - one of the only (if not the only) multiplayer srpgs in English - Brigandine Grand Editon is also multiplayer but only in Japanese).
Warsong belongs on there somewhere - I can't decide which game to kick off for room though.
Honorable mention to Vandal Hearts II - it would have replaced Vandal Hearts I except for that god awful battle system.
Another honorable mention to the Nectaris games - not really an rpg series though.
To the earlier post on shining force cd - the first two books are indeed ports from gamegear games - but the third book and the museum battle are unique to the cd. The museum battle alone is worth having the shining force cd for and the battles in book 3 are fairly challenging (and amusing too).

When I come home from a long day in Hell, there's nothing I'd rather reach for than a fire-brewed bottle of Styx Beer. Made from the filthiest waters from our own River Styx. Styx Beer is a third more toxic than any other regular beer. The worst beer - the filthiest beer - the deadliest beer. It's Styx Beer!
The Shining Force games and Front Mission 3 were the only ones I could ever really get into. I much prefer turn-based and action RPGs.
Dark Wizard love. I knew there was a reason I came here
from what I've played:
5 - FF Tactics Advance
4 - La Pucelle Tactics
3 - FF Tactics (psx)
2 - Dark Wizard
...
1 - Disgaea. This was one of two reasons I owned a PS2 (other than the Katamari games). Great plot, characters, battle system - I fell in love with NIS with this one.
-AB+
Holy crap. It's been a while.
I like SRPGs a lot, but I haven't played that many, including some famous ones.
Well 5 i liked:
- Wachenröder
- Vandal Hearts
- Sakura Wars Series
- Farland Story
- Battle Robot Retsuden
