General Discussion

@Chronosplit @Hanelli Oh wow. Other people who remember Legend of Mana. I actually came in to say that one. Also, Dark Cloud & Dark Cloud 2, the .hack games, Shadow Hearts, and Radiata Stories. Many people aren't even familiar with those series.

I guess I'll contribute, [img]http://www.technobuffalo.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Ghost-Trick-71-1280x728.jpg[/img] LOVED THIS GAME! It originally came out for the DS, but now it's also on the app store. I first heard about this game through Professor Layton and Ace Attorney fans, as soon as I started this game I fell in love! If you're going to play this game, [b][u]GO IN BLIND. DO NOT READ ANYTHING MORE THAN THE DESCRIPTIONS[/u][/b] I cannot stress that enough. it's a puzzle game, but what you're really here for is the story. [i][b]don't make the same mistake baby willowstar made, she read a spoiler on wikipedia and it almost ruined the whole game for her[/b][/i] [s]if you're still not sold, this is one of the characters:[/s] [img]http://thepopaesthetic.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/ghosttrickdog-e1296225333622.png[/img]

Final Fantasy Tactics, for sure. Which is silly considering it got a PSP port (with amazing cinematic cutscenes added, as well as a few extras, and a fixed up localization (rip "Ice Bracelet," lol)) and an iOS port. It was a fantastic game that got overshadowed by the rest of the FF series, IMO, and it's often overlooked because of the graphics and the battle style (in comparison to the rest of the franchise). It has a beautifully dark story line, very well thought out characters that make an impact, and a stunning OST.

Tactics Ogre as well, it's basically a beefed up version of FFT in terms of combat, and it's amazing. As for the story, you get a little more freedom and control in how it turns out (compared to FF:Tactics which is very linear save for an instance or two where what you say makes a difference).

The two games are very similar, and I implore anyone who likes tactical turn based games to try them. They both also feature art by the artist who inspired me to pursue art as well, so maybe that's why I'm so into them, hehe.

edit: some spelling
