I love those, but I don't know a great many of them, I guess the proper name is strategy RPGs?

final fantasy tactics

front mission

I think vagrant story?

Stella Deus iirc ?

edit: gladius too, forgot that one

what else is there?

I would try Disgaea HOur of darkness - that game can become crazy addictive

La Pucelle Tacticts is also pretty good

I know it's missing the RPG elements, but the Advance Wars series on GBA and DS are fantastic turn-based strategy games.

One of my favorites: Ring of Red for the PS2

Hey, what is your system?  If you have a PS3 definitely go with Valkyria Chronicles, it will not dissapoint.  I love FF tactics and Valkyria chronicles is like that, but with more aspects to gameplay.  Good stuff.

Oh, and I saw the disgaea post, if you end up liking that game there is also a great anime series too!

I don't know what systems you're playing on, but I always have to throw some love out for the Jagged Alliance series when I hear strategy/RPG.  You control small squads of mercenaries, each dealing with RPG progression in their stats as you liberate a country town by town.  It's on PC and a bit dated now, but I'm pretty sure the DS or GBA got a version of it as well that I've been meaning to look into.

maybe I'm thinking Vandal Hearts? I always get the two confused.

I have PS123, Xbox360  and a mac. I played the demo's for Valkyria and it was pretty solid :)

I don't have a GBA or DS or Wii anymore, but thankfully I did play through a fire emblem game when I did adn it was pretty awesome too. Disgeae I've never looked into, Ring of Red I saw but thought was just a turn-based traditional RPG, but I'm stoked now that you tell me otherwise :)

thanks alot for your suggestions

Probably, Vandal Hearts is an SRPG.  There is also a new Vandal Hearts game on XBL/PSN.  I highly recommend Valkyria Chronicles.  It's probably the best SRPG available on the ps3 (or anything the 360 has to offer).

There's a game called Future Tactics for last gen systems that was actually kind of similar to Valkyria Chronicles, with futuristic weapons and aliens, and semi-destructible environments.  I remember it being cheesy but cool.  And you can pick it up for a song here on Goozex.
