shining force franchise
I'd give an honorable mention to front mission on PS1
Tactical RPG with mechs… Need I say more?
what a list! but… Othercide really?
Put Three Houses as the best fire emblem is a misunderstanding of the most important thing in this séries.
The level design here is pretty average.
3H is not good at what make a tactical rpg great.
It's probably enough for jrpgs players but it's a trpg top.
Jugdral or Tellius saga (as well as others Kaga's games without FE's name like Tear Ring or Berwick Saga are by far better tactical.
3H is still a decent FE tho
No Shining Force 2? Another one I will add is Stella Glow.
Three houses is leagues above anything else on this list.
You need to add chaos gate
Vandal hearts is also one of the games of all time
Not having a fire emblem at number 1 and not having advanced wars on the list at all tells me placement on this list was paid for.
Tactics Ogre is probably the best game on this list (to me) and the predecessor "Ogre Battle: March of the Black Queen" from the SNES is one of my favorite games of all time
Ign is so predictable and mainstream its fucking sad..
Editing on this video is terrible. You don't even give the names of the games!
Vandal hearts was my jam as a teen.
Man, you gotta include brigandine legend of runersia here. It prolly slaps most of the games in this list. Try playing it bruh.
Xcom 2 is epic
A fact– FF tactics is made by the crew of Tactics Ogre, who weren't happy with the treatment of Square Enix at that time so now you know if you didn't
Tactics Ogre!
Disgaea 5? Worst story + hidden stat caps making it super fast and easy to max out characters puts this one on the bottom of the list. 1, 2 and 4 are all way better entries in the series, imo. 5 is just garbage.
Thank you sir for the best list of all time
No Eternal Poison?
Forgot Vandal Hearts a amazing turn based rpg
Add Brigandines bro!
FRONT MISSION 3
Divinity Original Sin 2 Epic Encounters
Final Fantasy Tactics is the greatest game of all time. That's it. That's my post.
+1 for Jagged Alliance 2.
Divinity Original Sin is also lit.
Divinity Original Sin is also lit.L
Battle Brothers
FFT is an amazing game
FYI The Reviews of Tactics Ogre Reborn are already available! Most of them are very positive.
Vandal Hearts! WTIF is wrong with you IGN! They pratically started the turn-based games genre!
no super robot wars, shining force or advance wars?
How come no one remembered Front Mission??
No love for Divinity: Original Sin?
Not a bad list!
Fell Seal would replace Triangle Strategy on my list.
Tactics ogre came before fft. And it's way better. all tactical games owe ogre a nod or two
what, Divinity original sin and wasteland are missing from the ranking, I'm disgusted
RAMZA.. my old friend T.T
You miss a new excellent tactical rpg named: Chaos Gate Deamonhunters!!!! dont put 2 fire emblems only put one, three houses is much bettter than path of radiance
Can a company of this size not learn to pronounce things correctly? Like come on it’s not that difficult
Vandal hearts??
Nobody likes Ash Of Gods
No Advanced Wars?
The lack of any Shining Force games is a huge omission and very disappointing. They maybe a tad dated but are some of the greatest tactical RPGs of all time and easily better than some of the games on this list.
im disappointed not even one series of Front Mission made the list… really IGN didnt play any this game… probably just a person doing the research for the sake of content… shame 😂
Not Shinning Force 2? Thats an insult!
That's right…final fantasy tactics is one of the best games ever
Seriously?
Where is Divinity OS2?
