TearRing Saga: Berwick Saga: Lazberia Chronicles Chapter 174 is not only a fantastic name for a video game, but also one of the greatest examples of the greatest video game genre, the srpg. So total and utter in its execution to have momentum as a gameplay element in a genre that is often chided as "just chess, but if you found the rook hot." Not to be confused, of course, with the greatest example of the srpg as a genre, Banner Saga, where I DO indeed find the Rook attractive.

But this game has no need to have attractive characters, because it's all about the story. There's so much rng and diversity of strategy in this game that you'll be able to tell so many weird and wonderful stories with it, and really, that's all that matters when it comes to video games, or any art, really.

How do you feel about the ogre/matsuno games?

@dwardman I'll always have a big appreciation for final fantasy tactics advance for it being my first final fantasy game and my first srpg/trpg, and I do also love original fft, but I am not a big fan of ffta2. And the only ogre game I've played is the psp remake of let us cling together, which I did like, but haven't gotten very far into yet. I am very interested in that game and the rest of the ogre games though, especially the original let us cling together
