Tactial RPG's.

Art-style, music, story and gameplay is pretty good and also a massive classic, both Disgaea 1 and 2 on the PS2

I can't believe i had to say this, but I'm a massive Tactical RPG rider, like I could say I've played every game of this genre at this point. Now send thoughts and recommendations. Yes, this is a threat (i prefer being recommended games from psp and gba)

I don't see this one mentioned often.
played this before, personally think this dont get mentioned often because of the long animations (even with fast forward on emulators, my patience can't just do it), good storyline, just the long animations dont cut it for me.
 
For PSP:
-Gungnir
-Yggdra Union
-Metal Gear Acid 1 and 2
-Ragnarok Tactics (this one I recommend because I think it's good, but I never finished it)

Special place in my memory: "Stella Deus" for PS2 and "Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Shadow Wars" for 3DS
 
Here is one gem that I recently discovered. I am having a blast with Langrisser II on genesis. Do you like the FE games? It's kind of like those, but no perma death (always makes me sad in a srpgs) and I I think it is cute when the armies battle with each other :3 Soundtrack is also a banger!

Hey @Waffles, this thread is identical to yesterday's:
Thread 'Tactial RPG's.' https://retrogametalk.com/threads/tactial-rpgs.3630/
It's impossible that you didn't notice, since you replied to that the same way as this one. ? And it's only been a day. Are you tired of merging them? There's obviously something wrong with this management system, left to the discretion of the staff. Only one day has passed...?

P.S. Ohhh... The OP is the same. Why the hell did he open two identical threads a day apart? ??‍♂️

No, I hadn't noticed.

Both are on the wrong area, too XD

I'll deal with them.
 
There's two I always recommend to people. First one is Enemy, plays kinda like a voxelly xcom with video game genre theming and difficulty options that let you turn it into a roguelike, lets you pull some really fun stupid strategies like picking a door up off its hinges and throwing it mario 2 style through a castle wall. Other one is Tenderfoot Tactics, its combat is VERY similar to final fantasy tactics, from the way the grid works down to the job system, but it also has an open world to explore with different maps to find that indicate different landmarks and need to be compared since no one can agree which way is north and some only show small parts of the world. Also you play as a tribe of goblins

the first half of jeanne d'arc is insane man, the other half of the game just feels rushed after, like what happened to mawra, the others?
