So, I’ve been getting into GBA and want some recommendations. I’ve been playing advance wars and really like it, anyone know any similar games? (Not fire emblem because permadeath is an annoying mechanic?

And justgoogd GBA games in general

    I’m weird and I have a real soft spot for the original PlayStation 1 Final Fantasy Tactics as well. Both solid games, imho.

      Weird? Isn’t FFT widely considered one of the best games of all time?

        I honestly only ever see people talking about FFTA, I almost never see people mention FFT for playstation.

        Could just be me, but I don’t exactly run into lots of folks who are even aware it exists.

          The lack of a modern port makes availability an issue, so it’s definitely more in cult classic territory, but it is definitely a critics’ darling and is often thrown around among the group of best games of all time. It’s not uncommon for it to rank nr. 1 on “Best Final Fantasy Games” lists either.

            I have never read much of game reviews and game news nor “top” listicles, so maybe that’s why I’m less aware of the critical acclaim.

            EDIT: and to be clear, it’s nice to know my opinion is in good company and not weird.
