Dan, you didn't like Legend of Dragoon?  I love that one.  I have some of the ones already mentioned, including DW VII.

It's crap.
Uninspired story. Ugly character designs, boring gameplay.

Legend of Dragoon > Final Fantasy VII.

I don't think Legend of Dragoon is all that bad. I actually liked the story and character design, although coming off of SNES RPGs (yes, it was that long until I had played a PS1 RPG), I was put off by the only three characters in battle. I also didn't like the hyper linearity. If this game came out before FFVII, it would have received higher praise, but because it came out so late in the game, I think that really led to a strong reaction against it in some folks.

Wizardry remakes. Oh yeah Temcos Deception. It's Halloween so why not?

Wizardry was on the PS?

Yeah Japanese release only. It's one of those 80% English jobbers and they remade Wizardry 1-3. http://www.mobygames.com/game/wizardry-llylgamyn-saga
I also think they did 4 (maybe on that one?) but I'm sure they did 5 as well.

I have played the remake of 1-3 on the Saturn, pretty impressive.

Well, it wouldn't have existed if not for the runaway success of Final Fantasy VII. And while I'm not a big fan of Final Fantasy VII (and I outright hate FF VIII), I'll tell you that it's a far better assembled game than Legend of Dragoon.

For some basic reasons Dragoon sucks just look at the battles. Attacking takes a long time, spells go on forever, the battles themselves take way too long and then the load time from what I recall was pretty bad for a Playstation game. Ugh.

If you liked Tactics Orgre and FF Tactics I would recommend Hoshigami

It's not as good as either of those two. Vandal Hearts is a bit better IMO but still not as good as Tactics Ogre or FFT.

I love me some Vandal Hearts.  Destroys FFT

I wouldn't go that far. But it's a very underrated series.

Oh yeah, who can forget Brigandine the Grand Edition? That game rocks and rolls.

I enjoyed Legend of Dragoon far more than Final Fantasy VII, but didn't finish either one.

The first Wild Arms is a classic and I wish i never sold it.

Final Fantasy IX is by far my favorite PSX FF game.

I never cared for FFT.  It's a good game, but I don't understand the huge popularity with it like it's the end all be all of tactics games.  That's probably why I don't like it that much.  Not fair, but it's a personal thing with me I guess.

I like Tactics Ogre more, if Final Fantasy Tactics weren't in Engrish it might have surpassed it on Playstation.

Was the translation better on the psp or DS ports?

The DS game is a sequel (as is the GBA one). I think the PSP version has a new translation.
