I created this thread as soon as I read Rolstoppable's comment in another thread that Fire Emblem was the best SRPG of all time.Simple rule:if u don't want to side with any of these games but think the best SRPG is a 3rd game,only mention it if its on the wii,DS or PSP OR create ur own thread(and pls post a link here).Stupid rule right?That's bcuz those are the only 3 platforms I will own this gen & my reason 4 starting this thread is to find out other games worth getting.Listing other games not on these platforms will defeat my purpose for starting this thread.I'm already gonna get fire emblem for wii and valkyria 2 for PSP.

Valkyria Chronicles.

If I remember correctly, he said that it was the best franchise. I don't think he mentioned any one Fire Emblem in particular. It'd be kinda difficult to compare a series to a single game (so far).

Anyhow, I prefer Valkyria Chronicles to any single Fire Emblem game. Although I pretty much love everything about Fire Emblem (except the odd bit of cheesy dialogue), I  prefer the battle system in Valkyria Chronicles. I found it to be much more fun.

As a series, I'd go with Disgaea. It's fairly basic in terms of gameplay but it has countless hours of playability, customization and just oozes both in charm and hilarity. You can get both the first two on the PSP and the first one on the DS, I believe. My favourite in the series would have to be the first, followed by the third.

As for my favourite SRPG it'd either be Valkyria Chronicles or Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions

Fire Emblem. It is the more hardcore game. While Valkyria Chronicles was great, FE is the much better strategy RPG game.

I'd go with Valkyria Chronicles, but I was never able to finish FE since the story wasn't worth the effort of beating the battles for me.

i love both, but ill go with fire emblem ^_^

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

Fire Emblem was better.

I would suggest Path of Radiance on the gamecube as a good starter.

Fire Emblem here.
