Always wanted to try this series. However I've never really been into SRPGs. The only SRPG I love is Growlanser: Wayfarer of Time

That's, uh, far more niche than Disgaea and most would qualify it as harder to get into. Why don't you try some more!


Huh? I disagree completely. Growlanser is waaay more streamlined and easier to get into. Growlanser has a typical JRPG structure, with the only out of the ordinary being its battle system.

Does it have a similar style? Because no SRPG works quite like Growlanser does from what I've found v.v XD it has a world to explore and more freedom than most SRPGs v.v the majority I see play more along the lines of FF Tactics where 90% of the game is battle after battle x.x 


I didnt want to be mister correcte, but Growlanser is not a SRPG in same sense as Fire Emblem, FF Tactics, Disgaea. Its a typical JRPG structure but  with a Realtime strategy battle system.

One of the more humorous things about reviews is when someone reviews a game where they really don't like the game-play or the style. I mean, it's like someone giving chess a 7/10 because they think it's tedious and they don't like the grind.

Personally, I play SRPGs for the game-play, the same way I play chess for the game-play. If you don't feel the same then I don't understand why you would review an SRPG to begin with.

Yea, I figured that. They group it like that because the meat of the game is a SRPG but Growlanser has waaay more in common with a typical JRPG than it does with Disgaea, FFT, FE. 

I wouldn't recommend you a Fire Emblem or Final Fantasy Tactics if all you were looking for something like Growlanser.

Yeah, always wondered why I could never find a SRPG quite like it

Does it have the same content and DLC as the jap version? I'll wait for the definitive, portable edition.

They do exist, but Growlanser is a fusion of a lot of RPG elements. Did play any of the previous Growlanser titles?

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."
