Nah.

LUCT/Ogre Battle/FE Thracia beat it out.

I will say that LUCT/FFT are classic fun games, but in terms of strategy games they're broken and I've felt this for damn near 30 years.

Building a broken unit is fantastic fun but making it via the hand you're dealt is where strategy shines, hence the classic FE being the peak of the genre.

And Triangle Strategy is a new classic.
I guess I mean the AI is really "smart" meaning if you give them an inch they'll take a mile. You disable a enemy they are running away across the screen, you injury a enemy and they can heal? They are moving next to another injured enemy and healing both themselves and the enemy. In FFT the enemies tend to do the most optimal things on defense to stay alive or win no matter how annoying, which in most strategy games the AI just doesn't do.



But yeah Triangle Strategy is criminally slept on which I understood to a point since it was only on the switch for years.

But now it's really a game that should get more respect in the srpg category. I'm about to start a new play through on a different system in a few weeks.


I will say FFT dialogue and character building is really great though, among some of the best in gaming. The story is a bit generic but the character dialogue is really good
