5 Games Like Final Fantasy Tactics

1. Thanks for all the discussion and comments guys! Just so I get a few less e-mails (this probably won't change anything) about this: this video is NOT meant to show 'Every Tactics style game ever'. This is meant to show people a few things that are similar. Some that don't get enough love.

   Yes I do know that Brigandine, Hoshigami, Stella Deus, and like 20 other NIS games, and more, exist. But I didn't highlight everything because not all of those are that similar, and I didn't want to make a 30 minute video.

   Cheers and good luck on your search!

2. TrY super robot wars series #👍👍

3. Tactics told a surprisingly complex story about faith, politics, and enduring friendship. It also had a complex battle system that allowed for amazing customization of character builds. Then on top of tha t the zodiac comparability and Calculator class that allowed you to target spells using as real different parameters and variables was just mind blowing, and I've yet to see any modern games take it to that level. FFT pushed the limits of tactics games, and it's dra not surprising that nobody has executed a tactics game as well since then considering the game is 20 years old at this point.

4. Where suikoden tactic

5. Nothing compares to Tactics. Ogre and disgaea are hogwash. Valkyria story falls flat on it's face

6. Anyone ever play the final fantasy hacktics one psx emu? If not I recommend it.

7. Thanks for the list.

8. My favorite tactics rpg is shin megami tensei devil survivor 1 and 2.

9. Fe 12 games in the series

   nope there are 14.

10. They could make or remake FFT rendering the concept art into the game. This would look amazing, even better than the current tactical games.

11. Great list. I also suggest Shining Force Gaiden on Sega CD (or Game Gear) as it forgoes the walking-around-in-towns stuff for just straight battle after battle, pure tactics style.

12. I think Xcom is a better option than shining force, but thanks for the vid, make more like this is a concept I´ve been interested since years ago.

13. I am not a fan of Tactics Ogre's loyalty system. I hate the idea that troops might just up and leave a team because I had them land a killing blow on a few too many people from their home town. Feels like something unnecessary to juggle in an otherwise solid game.

14. I really wish they'd make a game like FFT, but make it an open world where people can have their own little armies and ally and take over cities and have a cool story campaign mode worked into it.

15. There is also vandal hearts flames of judgment

16. Vandal Hearts 1 is brilliant.

17. FFT has perm death to if u don't revive b4 the countdown that character is gone for good

18. hey, if you play PC games you might enjoy XCOM, Jagged Alliance, and Silent Storm

19. Phantom brave?
    im surprised you didn't mention it and sad actually

20. Good list but you missed an even older game than Tactics from the Sega CD called Dark Wizard. Check it out if you can find a copy/LP of it somewhere.

21. Where is Stella Deus?
    This game is one of my favorite PS2 games.

22. I'd like to add Shin Megami Tensei Devil Survivor

23. Disgaea and ogre battle best one

24. And as of this month of July 2017, There is Children of the Zodiarcs !

25. Hoshigami is the best

26. bahamut lagoon, more legit than every game on this list.

27. Disgaea is kinda FFT on steroids.
    if you want more than 99 levels, Disgaea is for you.
    Having a party of 9999 lvl characters that deal INSANE damage amount has it's advantages. You can also reincarnate your characters to learn other class jobs, power level them, power level items , and replay the story with scaled difficulty.
    Basically, you can play it multiple times without ever getting bored.

28. Arc The Lad and Brigandine are great tactics game also.

29. Vanguard Bandits

30. l agree Fire emblem is similar to Final Fantasy Tactics, but the level of quality in gameplay is NO match at all. Fire Emblem feels so barebones compared, and at the end of the day, most of the time your strategy is camping next to the 'danger zone' for enemies to come closer, and gets extremely old fast.

31. Nope. Shining Force 2 better than all games

32. Definitive version that is broken.
    The psp version is garbage.

33. i have looked at a lot of videos like this…and this is the first one I have seen mention Shining Force. Maybe I havent watched enough of them.

34. If they were to ever make a new FFT game they would need to have a musical score as good as what we got with FFT as it is one of the best game scores I ever listened.

35. Disgaea is great, i want a Movie with Cara Delevigne as Etna.

36. good video…pretty good recommendation thanks bro…and this video is exactly what I was looking for …some games similar to FFT ….so tactis ogre and valkirye chronicles looks awsome…. I have already played Fire emblem from game and this game is perfect

37. final fantasy tactics should get a sequel or prequel or at least a PS4 version the story is good the music is amazing and it has unique jobs/Classes this game is really a hidden gem that should have more then just one game wake up square enix

38. like fire emblem is even comparable to tatics lol nice video though

39. Yes I was hopping Disgaea was on this list I love this game

40. um saiyuki journey west, how do you not know about it
