The 3x3 Thread

Oh man, favourites are impossible for me! My list definitely changes every couple weeks, but currently it might look something like this.
(Shining Force 3 is meant to represent all three scenarios as a whole btw)

Just looked at your list real quick and Stalker is a great one for sure, that would definitely make it onto a 4x4 for me.
I've been eyeing SF III for a long time now. Big FE, Advance Wars and Tactics Ogre fan.
How is the SRPG gameplay of SF III? Does it have some depth and challenge to it?

Oh absolutely! Can't recommend it enough! An absolute gem.

The map design in that trilogy in particular is just fantastic - once you're past the intro, almost all the maps include at least some kind of complication.

Time limits, restrictive terrain, unbeatable enemies you need to flee from, seemingly endless reinforcements, a third faction, the list goes on.

It also has plenty of (at times hidden) side objectives and optional approaches sprinkled throughout that unlock different characters, rewards or story events - some of those even have consequences in the later games of the trilogy, should you import your save file from game to game.

It can be on the challenging side of things, assuming you actually want to see all there is to reasonably see, some optional objectives can really kick your ass. Simply beating the maps is usually manageable though - it's easier than Advance Wars 2 for example, I'd say.

Seeing as you're a fan of FE and Tactics Ogre, I also just find the overall structure of the Shining Force games interesting.
This series places a greater emphasis on the (J)RPG side of the T/S RPG equation than you might expect, with explorable story environments between maps taking up a large part of the experience.

Should you check it out though, absolutely go for the Japanese voices for the first scenario - the English voice acting is infamously awful and while it can be funny for a bit, it really is distracting.

(Sorry for the wall of text - I love these games and I tend to jump at the opportunity to gush over them.)

I posted this ages ago in the old thread, but I realized there that I forgot some very important titles. Here's a new version of my top 25, now in order of my affections:

I purposefully limited myself to one game per franchise, spinoffs included. It's a shame that I couldn't get a Shining Force, Mega Man, or Leisure Suit Larry game on there, but, well, what're ya gonna do. (Those'd be in the top 30.) Topsters' entry for LBA1 is kinda dumb, so just know that's the original, un-altered version of Little Big Adventure.

The way you're describing this it literally sounds like the best thing since sliced bread. You've really got me hooked on trying it now

DId I mention it cures cancer and can end world hunger? 😅

To offer you a (slightly) less biased opinion on the games, here's a video on SF3 and a couple other really good Saturn RPGs:

 
There are so many incredible games out there. These are some of my faves, plus a few odd ones I felt compelled to add for some reason

Man, I love video games.

These are my favorite games of all time, there are many other games that I love very much, but these are the ones that I have the most emotional attachment to, or the ones that have delighted me the most.

I love the first Dishonored as well! Daud's DLCs from the game are fantastic!

I am probably forgetting some, but here it is. Some of my favorite games.

Tsukihime and Witch on the Holy Night are great choices! I haven't played many VNs, but those both left big impressions on me, too.
