If you really look at many of these Turn-Based Strategy RPGs, you'd have to still stretch the definition to make them fit. I would say that Advance Wars, especially Dual Strike is much closer to Fire Emblem than Fire Emblem is to Final Fantasy. Neither has an overworld, both offer some leveling up aspect, both offer in many ways very similiar combat, among other things. The only thing that seems to seperate Strategy games from Strategy RPGs are disposable units and a leveling up system, but Advance Wars Dual Strike lets you level up your CO and Disgaea has disposable units like the Prinnies. In fact most strategy RPGs are merely just another type of strategy game and lend themselves more to fans of Civilization than Dragon Quest.
