Another good one that’s more recent is Triangle Strategy. Positioning is important. Great story. Very similar to FFT but FFT is better overall. Still a great game and more modern.

That’s fine. Created characters are strong enough to beat the game with. I only played through it 2 times, but my second run I used as few named chars as possible. I created my team based on Seiken Densetsu 3 characters.

One of my favorite games of all time. For a while, I would use the cheat to move beds and stuff to make my own house. And spent the day baking bread or collecting eggs to make money. It was later that I realized this is why I liked playing the Sims.
