#3. Final Fantasy Tactics

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/5/5/4/AAK53VAAEhMq.jpg

The first turn-based strategy game I ever played, and what an absolute banger to have as my first.

Every single battle in this game thrusts you into a crazy situation, and its all on you to sink or swim. Sure you could grind levels, but thats only gonna take you so far. The only way to win in this game is pure, old fashioned strategy.

I love how the art style is so cute, yet the world itself is so dark and harrowing. Seeing these little 2D sprites be horrible to each other and maim one another in the name of God is true dark fantasy. I've always considered FFT to be the Game of Thrones of video games.

And oh my god, this is my favorite epic war music ever. Back Fire, Trisection, Battle on the Bridge, Decisive Battle. I use this games music in my DND campaign, and it always hits hard.

And who could forget the Calculator? Its one of the craziest classes ever conceived in an RPG, and I have pulled off absolute fucking miracles with those bad boys.

To this day, I still dont think Ive found a strategy RPG that I like better than this game. Fire Emblem: Three Houses and Jeanne dArc came close, but they still werent quite there.

10 out of 10 forever.
