MODERATORS
A lot of people here have already suggested Ogre Battle and Ogre Battle 64, but I'd also recommend Tactics Ogre. It's in the same series but is an SRPG instead of the... Whatever you'd describe Ogre Battle as. The story is quite good and the game has 3 pretty fleshed out routes. There's also 3 versions of it, the newer two (PSP and current consoles) have a better translation but from memory the original is passable. I'm sure there's a patch if you find it bad, though I would have to check.
Beyond that, Xenogears was already mentioned and is great. I'm quite partial to the Mana games and Terranigma. Moon is also really interesting, being a sort of parody RPG that heavily influenced Toby Fox when making Undertale.
I played Xenogears when it first came out but wanna save a replay for when I finally tackle the rest of the Xeno-verse games, even though they aren't all conical to each series.
I do need to give the other Mana games a go. I played Legend on Switch and burned through like 4 differnet team makeups and actually enjoyed it for its mindless fun.
Def forgot about Terranigma so will be adding that.
And of course also forgot about Tactics Ogre so I can grab the PSP version. I have the emulator for it so might as well put it to use.
All great suggestions, thanks!
