Other than Pokemon or Dragon Quest because I've played all of those.

Is the Radiant Historia remake from a few months ago turn-based?

Yes.

If tactical RPGs are close enough, the SMT Devil Survivor games are both great.

I thought 7th Dragon was DS and never released in North America. The sequel didn't look as good. I played Sticker Star and it was indeed trash.

I played the first one. Is Bravely Second as good? Is it as repetitive?

Which one is best?

the original ds game was only in japan
the psp sequels threw out a lot of the charm and boggled down the game pace
the 3ds game follows the same style of the psp games and has a bizarrely poor framerate

Imho.

Id personally say Apocalypse > Soul Hackers > 4 > Strange Journey. I wouldnt play Apocalypse without playing 4 first though. Strange Journey is the only SMT game (of the ones released in English) that I dropped.

Oh, is Radiant Historia a tactical RPG? I was looking for more along the lines of Pokemon, Dragon Quest, and Final Fantasy.

Radiant Historia is not a tactical RPG, although it does have a more tactical than average take on turn-based combat. I haven't played the remake, but I feel safe recommending it based on the original.

SMT Devil Survivor: Overclocked and SMT DeSu2 Record Breaker are the tactical RPGs. They're really good, but it sounds like they're not what you're looking for.

Radiant Historia is amazing (Out of 300+ games, its in my top 5) its turn based but the reason some might say its a bit tactical is because it has a tic-tac-toe like battle system. Has a demo though, so try if for yourself!

Alliance Alive is another great game with a demo as well.

Its as good as the original (some say better but its equal imo) and a little repetitive; but a lot less and done much better.

Are the newer Fire Emblem games turn-based? The only ones I played were the GBA ones that were tactical RPGs.

What are the best Fire Emblem games?

No. There is a "grid" but it's enemies only and it's 3x3. There are moves that you can use to push one enemy into another enemy and then attack them both at the same time. The heroes don't get a grid, they're just "on the side" like a regular Final Fantasy.

Also I thought someone would have mentioned these by now but Etrian Odyssey 4/5 are great (I assume Untold 1/2 are fine too, havent played them personally)

Quality Post Scotty, thanks for the bump though.

Hey TC, how'd you like that Radiant Historia demo? I didn't play it cause I aced the original, I didn't need to convince myself to buy it.
Have you tried AA yet too? I loved it but maybe its not for everyone... or maybe it is.

It's insanely long! I haven't ever seen a non-PC demo this long. I bought RH. I downloaded the Alliance Alive demo, but I haven't played it yet.
