Strategy Rpgs Ranked
Please note that my lists are ranked tentatively and are subject to change. I use them as tools to measure games up on each other as I play through series or collected works of certain creators and consider the experiences I have. These are not finalized in any way.

@nervalitis the original has less mechanics and systems kind of stacked on top of each other, and I think much simpler class system than the one in the remake. Overall the original version is a little more punishing and grindy, but more focused on a specific play experience without stuff like crafting and skill setups that can effectively change lots of stuff.
New version also has new battles, quests, story stuff, etc. It's basically a ground-up remake with new features but with the same original director overseeing it.

I don't know what it says about my taste that I don't disagree with your lowest rankings (at least as far as the ones I've played go) but I still really liked them a whole lot anyway.
My main issue with the old version was the class system, wich punish you if you made a team with a majority of women. At a certain point i felt that the male classes were what really matters, and the female were only support characters.
Also the story and intrincade political plotline is not my juice.

severe lack of Shining Force going on here.
@nervalitis huh, I had no idea there was a functional gender disparity like that in the original. Weird.
@Hattori once I become more familiar with and play more shining force I'm gonna update this list but as of now I have very little experience with those games. I'm planning on doing that with langrisser and a few other ones too.

@nervalitis I figured I would mention that the class system was overhauled in the remake and is very different on psp
I guess it's better now, like TO:The Knight of Lodis. It was a nightmare maining a group of rude valkyries and discover that they have to choose one magical softie job to support THE MEN.
