no love for fft:wotl? i say get that :D best game ever although i prefer the ps1 version but anywho... i gotta try a fire emblem game(which is best to start with)... but man valkyria is a amazing and unique experience definitely get it

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 sucks, and 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.

It's not really a ripoff, I mean it was made by the exact same people.

It just didn't do anything really different or special, and it's story was inferior and less coherent then tactics ogre.

It was also a lot less balanced.  A couple classes ruled FFT and made the game a cakewalk....

and that's not even counting Cid.  My god the brokeness in him.
