HwitVlf if you had to do a top 10 of PS through PS3 strategy games, what would your ranking be? Its hard for me to put in order, but it would look something like
Brigandine
Tactics Ogre
Vandal Hearts 1
Vanguard Bandits
Ogre Battle
Growlanser 2/3 (pretty much the same game)
Final Fantasy Tactics
I just recently stumbled into XCOM and was pretty obsessed. I have probably close to 1000 hours logged in Civilzation IV, and it has that feel to it at the beginning where there is just such an overwhelming amount of things you need to work on and invest in, and striking that balance is crucial. It suffers the same late game fate as Civilization too, in that once you navigate through the early challenge and get ahead, its pretty much cruise control and you can lose motivation to finish.
I can't say enough good things about Exit Fate. Since it's freeware, the author was able to use video game soundtracks from other games (Uses Suikoden V, Final Fantasy Tactics, and Xenogears songs heavily.) I am a musician and I really enjoy video game music from games I have played, and hearing certain songs used in a new emotional setting was pretty exciting. Exit Fate actually inspired me to work on my own RPG Maker game. I will finish it (one day) and post it here. I have about 120 hours in, a really cool plot, and an amazing soundtrack (mostly borrowed from Romancing SaGa, Suikoden, Brigandine LOF, etc.) I just need to really tinker with the event scripting and work out any potential bugs, which is time consuming as a first timer.
