Did someone say Tactics? Because I love Tactics.

Yeah, it can be brutal when you're just starting out, but with a good grasp on class mechanics and some investment into the higher-tier jobs, the game can just be snapped over your knee. A Summoner can absolutely level the early-game, a brave Monk can crack heads with a punch (or two - a bare-fisted Ninja is something to be afraid of), a Wizard/Samurai can annihilate anything in a 2-square radius, and of course, a Calculator can destroy a field of foes and friends alike with the power of basic arithmetic.

The plot is something unique, too, because it's pretty impressive, once you get past the at-times clumsy translation. There's still something distinctly charming about the occasionally-awkward localization, though, even if its clarity isn't perfect.
