For all lovers of tactical turn-based RPG and in particular, for those who have never forgotten Final Fantasy Tactics, I have prepared this list of games that are closer to the SQUARESOFT jewel.

Final Fantasy Tactics, a game developed by Squaresoft that at that time held the monopoly of jRPG. They invented this mix of tactics and role-playing by proposing this original development job class system with fights on a grid-based map.

I spent hours playing it trying to develop the most advanced classes and finding the unique items from the various side quests. The story was certainly one of the fundamental points of the game, full of intrigues and twists.

Fortunately, several Studios over the years have imitated the formula of Final Fantasy Tactics, some with bad results and some with good results.

Tactical fights on grid maps

Side quests and secrets to unlock.

A single player campaign.
