Funny thing, I got Fell Seal on my PC and had my kids "make their characters" my younger son wanted to be a fighter, my oldest wanted to be a healer. In combat they got to tell me what their character does. My younger son, being the bull he is, always charged in, and his brother would spend the entire fight trying to protect/heal him all while getting frustrated with him for being reckless.

Some really fun gaming memories.
Great list as always. Great time to be a JRPG/SRPG fan.

It’s hard to beat FFT in my book. Like a lot of people it was my first tactics/strategy rpg. However, I’ve had a LOT of fun with Triangle Strategy since it’s release. It has a very similar vibe to FFT.

Triangle Strategy floored me! It was AMAZING! The characters are interesting and the story is amazing!! I love political intrigue! I replayed it multiple time to do every single path, including the “secret best ending” and never regretted a single second of it!

I'll admit I'm more partial to traditional turn based rpgs, but I've been getting more into strategy rpgs lately so this is a great list for me to keep in mind

[MayuraVyamsaka]

I really DESPERATELY want them to release FFT:WotL on PC. I grew up with Nintendo, not with Sony, so unfortunately I've never had the pleasure of playing FFT. I did get to play FFTA and FFTA2 (the latter which I ADORED), so I think it's only reasonable that Squeenix releases WotL on Steam. Just for me. 🥺

@2:19 David states that the original version of Tactics Ogre was on the Playstation 1. The original Tactics Ogre actually was a 16 bit title on the Super Famicom. There was a later port to the PS1 of Tactics Ogre however. It's a slight mixup akin to saying the original Final Fantasy 5 was a Playstation game, when in fact it was a Super Famicom game later ported to PS1

Triangle Strategy is really great. Love from Belgium 🇧🇪 ❤

[dennisdavidov]

Have you played Troubleshooter: Abandoned Children ? It is a really in depth game with a lot of content.
Another good one which released not too long ago is Brigandine The Legend of Runersia.

There is a new SRPG released recently for the PC, Crimson Tactics: The Rise of the White Banner, any plans to review it ?

[nateg]

Seeing Midnight Suns in there was a pleasant surprise. It’s honestly one of my favorite games in a long time. Shame many people wrote it off based on prerelease marketing. Its one of the most engaging, fun games I’ve played recently.

[kevinstreetgaming]

Happy to see Triangle Strategy on there. What a great game! I'm guessing that all of the news from yesterday will be covered on Saturday's New RPG News?

[Scuzoid_Melee]

Gonna add a couple more I've enjoyed: Ash of Gods The Way, Crimson Tactics Rise of the White Banner, Troubleshooter, Lost Eidolons, Wartales, Dark Deity, King Arthur Knight's Tale, Sword Legacy Omen, and Into the Breach.

I just finished sea of stars 100% and have had wandering sword on my list since you reviewed demo. Was looking at my wishlist and was pleasantly surprised to see it just released!

[heefsies]

great list, David!! i've played and beat 7 of the 10 listed here, with the other three already sitting in my backlog. won't be long til i get to them, as strategy RPGs are my JAM. i audibly cheered when you mentioned Fell Seal and Symphony of War, those games deserve a bigger spotlight.

i would like to also shout out a trio of games not on this list that are real hidden gems that i think any fan of this genre would greatly appreciate - the Rad Codex trio of games, Voidspire Tactics, Avlora Tactics, and Horizon's Gate. they're all on steam, and if you're reading this comment, please look them up! they're all very good and deserve so much more attention!!

The key to me playing a SRPG is it having exploration. I dont dislike SRPG combat, rather I actually love it, but I hate 99% of them not having it. Thats why the Shining Force series is still in my all time top 5. I liked Fire Emblem 3 houses as well because of the stuff you could do in between missions, but I still would have liked exploration in it.

[HybridAngelZero]

Love seeing this genre surviving and thriving in the modern era. Come to think of it, I haven't played an SRPG in a pretty good while...

[Hero]

Have not heard of the top 2 games before, so those are now on my Wishlist.

[grey_wulf]

Hi David! Love a good strategy rpg. Fire Emblem, FFT, Tactics Ogre, and Growlanser are among my favs (on consoles). Thanks for another awesome video. Your hard work is much appreciated. Have a blessed day everyone!

[jasanch]

The ones that filled the void of FFT for me was fell seal, diofield, triangle strategy and fire emblem. I was hoping to see your opinion of cross tails on here but since it didn’t make the list it’s probably not that great.

[SpiralUpGames]

Hey Davidvinc! Thank you so much for sharing about Wandering Sword! :)

[mechaotakugamer]

My first ever rpg was a tactical/Strategy rpg called Project x Zone but honestly prefer Action combat. I really need to play more tactical rpgs.
