      ,,Was'' the best because VC4 sold very poorly at release date both in Japan (worst selling game in series in Japan), and on West (overshadowed by Fire Emblem Three Houses, Dragon Quest XI, and Octopath Traveler + bad word of mounth from Valkyria Revolution). This series, unfortuantely probably is dead, along with developer Sega GE2 (Sega never mentioned about VC after 2018, and Sega GE2 + Mediavision do not made single game after that).

  • @ValeVin
    @ValeVin 10 месяцев назад +3

    It's a good list, but I think it might be a little confused about Tactics Ogre: Reborn. The whole "classes gain levels, characters don't gain levels in a class" thing was from the really old Playstation Portable version of the game. Reborn is a remake that ditched that mechanic and added/changed a lot of the gameplay systems in general. Now your character has an individual level, and that's used to decide what they have access to in every class. So you might have a lv 40 knight with Phalanx III and a level 45 knight with Phalanx IV deployed in the same battle.
    (I think because Reborn gets called a 'remaster' sometimes, people didn't realize how much the combat, levelling system, and classes systems were completely changed. I imagine they wanted to avoid the term remake, but it's confused a lot of people who were expecting the PSP version with better graphics and got completely different gameplay, classes, etc.)

    • @JoelRPG
      @JoelRPG  10 месяцев назад +1

      Yeah i wanted to make tactics ogre reborn for the script and ends up mixing some details between reborn and the psp because i thought they are the same thing except some quality improvement, customization and class changes (I haven't played the reborn that far when i uploaded this video since i thought they are the same). And then realized it a week later that after playing further that the leveling system is different. It's a bit of misinformation from my part, but I've already fixed the information on the next videos. Thanks for pointing that out :)

      @@JoelRPG No worries! I'm still catch up to the present, so that video is in my future =] Did you finish CODA 4 on Reborn yet? I entered Reborn with a lot of trepidation (I *love* the female rogue class from LUCT and my favorite character in that game was a ninja using the 2H cursed bow, things that the new version can't do), but even full of trepidation, Reborn completely won me over to the point where after waffling on if LUCT or War of the Lions was my favorite game of all time, Reborn has now thoroughly taken the top spot. I even ended up farming Ambicion and Brynhildr II for fun before putting it away.

    Great list, glad to see some of my all-time favourites such as Tactics Ogre (although I think I prefer PS1 version), FFT and Shining Force II, which was my first step into the genre.
    The obvious absence for me is Fire Emblem Awakening, which, in my opinion, is the best FE game and deserved at least Top 5.
    Triangle Strategy gets a lot of flak, undeservedly so, for the lengthy dialogs that often last longer than the actual battles but it has a lot of depth and should also be higher on the list. NG+ on hard mode was one of the most fun and challenges experiences I've ever had in a Strategy RPG.

      A battle system where every time you move, the enemy moves is a staple of the "Rogue-like" genre. There are other Japanese style tactical games like that including Torneko's Great Adventure, Shiren the Wanderer, Azure Dreams, Chocobo's Dungeon etc. Vandal Hearts 2 stands out from those by having large party based battles while the games I listed are dungeon crawlers.

    Engage is better than Three Houses in my opinion.
    Yes, I know that's a hot take, and I know most people disagree.
    But hear me out, this is an SRPG list, not a simulation list. Three houses has a deeper simulation side with a better plot, but Engage has way better combat/srpg elements.
    It also looks way better than 3H and has a ton of fan service for long time fans in the form of pretty much every MC from past games appearing.
    Engage is underrated because of it's story, but for hardcore players that seek complex battle systems, it is far superior than it's predecessor.
