Strategy RPG's for Dreamcast

Post by **Koopin_Krackerz** » Tue Aug 05, 2008 11:38 am

I'm taking my Dreamcast to college with me and I really enjoy playing Strategy RPG's like Shining Force and Final Fantasy Tactics. Are there any decent Strategy RPG's for the Dreamcast that are similar to those games?

the short answer is no. Time Stalkers sorta has some tactical elements, but I think it's pretty mediocre title. well...you can play shining force on the Sega Smash Pack vol 1.

here's another post with the same exact question!

Best Choices I can think of....
PS1 - FF Tactics, Ogre Battle, Brigandine, Hosigami
PS2 - Growlanser Generations, Disgaea 1&2, Stella Deus, La Purcell Tactics
Saturn - Shining Force III, Dragon Force
Genesis - Shining Force 1&2, Warsong, Master of Monsters, Herzog Zwei(more of an RTS)
Sega CD - Shining Force CD, Dark Wizard
GBA - Advance Tactics, FF Tactics, Yggrda Union
PSP - Jeanne D' Arc, FF tactics: lion wars

plus Saturn has quite a few import Tactics games

Hmmm. Thanks. I'll check out Time Stalkers and those Genesis titles. I really need to get a Saturn sometime and quit being so lazy and check past posts. Second time I've done that

Indeed, those are rpg's, but not strategy rpg's like Shining Force or FF Tactics!

The only SRPG I can think of for the Dreamcast is Super Robot Taisen Alpha, and it's in Japanese.

There some great other RPGs for the DC, though.

Elemenal Gimmick Gear [ARPG]
Record of Lodoss War [IRPG]
Phantasy Star Online [MMORPG]

Along with the more-known ones:

Skies of Arcadia
Evolution
Grandia 2

Dreamcast had a handful of promising SRPGs in Japan, but I dont think any of them came here. We also never got any golf games besides a chibi anime one. I only know this because my step dad requested a golf game when I sold him a Dreamcast, and I had to give him the sad news.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I picked up Skies of Arcadia but I haven't had a chance to play it yet though, been busy with college and hasn't slowed down yet.

get ready for 5,000,000 random battles. it is a good game, and in the second disc you get to avoid almost all random encounters. but seriously i got into so many random battles it took away from the enjoyment of the game. i couldn't play through it again. don't get me wrong it was a great game, but holy shxt were there a ton of random battles.
