War of the Lions is basically just an Ogre Battle game with the Final Fantasy class system over it.  It should be nowhere near a "best SRPG" discussion.

It's just doing almost exactly what the previous seires did with little to no innovation.

Bull imo, lol. It popularized it and improved it, with a different atmosphere and better story.

By your logic, the original Doom shouldn't be mentioned in a FPS debate.

IMO, FFT is a superior game to Ogre Battle in every way, and just because a game is a ripoff in every way doesn't mean it isn't completely fantastic, see Uncharted 2, Dead Space, every RTS game, every MMO, every FPS, and every SRPG ever made.

I mean, SotC is a ripoff of Zelda with no innovation outside of atmosphere and story and gameflow. It is actually missing a lot of the features that made Zelda great, like NPCs and dungeons. However, the way it was assembled makes it a different game. It's atmosphere, artstyle, and gameflow vary from the game it was inspired by and gives it a different feel. You get points for originality, but you also get points for perfecting formulas.

...that said, I hated SotC, and would marginalize it the very same way you marginalzied FFT, so maybe I'm a hypocrite.

Like the original Doom, the music in FFTactics is godlike and should at least be mentioned for that alone.
