Vandal Hearts & Vandal Hearts 2 for Playstation 1. They are very much like Final Fantasy tactics. Vandal Hearts 2 has a little better graphics than 2 and is very much the same game as 1 except a different story of course so if you care about graphics at all I would suggest Vandal Hearts 2.
The thing that turned off the fun for me in Vandal Hearts 2 was the "simultaneous" action between you and the enemy, I couldn't get used to that.

I'm also a big fan of the HOMM series, but there haven't been any games that come close to it. I've tried that "Kings Bounty," but it's just a poorly made clone of HOMM.

I've played quite alot of SRPGs through emulation, despite having a chipped PS2 still, and Shining Force 3 is just amazing, its an amazing game for Sega Saturn. It's like Final Fantasy Tactics but spread out over 3 scenarios (same game but different storylines and characters which interweave in every scenario. I just wish there were more games like it.

Has anyone tried La Pucelle Tactics for PSX, or Suikoden Tactics?

I will never forgive Sega for not porting the entire SF3 trilogy to the US. I have the imports, but I don't speak/read Japanese so it was never as fulfilling as it could be. I'm curious though, was there a port I wasn't aware of?

Just as well, if you haven't played Shining Force 1, 2, or Shining Force CD - those are great too.

I recently played a bit of the Jagged Alliance series, which seemed very cool. I haven't had time recently to really dive into them, but the whole series is available on gog.com (Good Old Games) for cheap.

If you have not played Vandal Hearts, you should!

This is by far my favorite Konami title and I have a *lot* of love for most of the Suikoden series and the original Contra.

It has character development similar to Shining Force, where each member of your 'army' has their own personal back story and quirks that get revealed over the course of the game... (instead of FFT's method of randomly generated units with some unique characters to support them.)

You don't have the ability to change your units' jobs at will, but there are specific classes and you have the ability to pick a 'path' for each character after they've reached a certain level. (Also akin to Shining Force)

The soundtrack is good (I keep the ending theme in .mp3 format on my *data I cannot lose* flash drive!) and some of the sound effects are great.

The storyline isn't half bad, and there's more of an adult feel to the game than what is depicted in FFT.

VH is a fairly fast 'beat', but there's lots of hidden stuff to discover that you'll probably miss the first time through (unless you gamefaq it -.- )

I've played Tactics Ogre for the PSX but recently picked up the remake for the PSP that just released and it is still very fun, I play it while I med.

Tactics Ogre : The knights of Lodis for the GBA was a good game as well.

Obviously FFT is FFTASTIC.

I have Ogre battle 64 on my Wii that I paid for but have not played yet, I DL'ed that one because I heard, in some opinions, that it is one of the best games for the N64.

Also, I've heard very very mixed reviews on Operation Darkness (I'm a sucker for Atlas games) on the 360. The learning curve and difficulty were in question.

And on a final note, Valkyria Chronicles for the PS3 and Valkyria Chronicles 2 for the PSP are both fabulous games.

Not sure if this one qualifies, but it's a great game: X-Com

-Ogre Battle on SNES/64
-X-Com i think would qualify. I found the learning curve a bit steep, but I'm an idiot.
-Gladius, to echo Cars a few posts above, was a pretty fun game on the original xbox.
