Presumably you have played Final Fantasy Tactics, right?
Fortunately Iām not a completist, or moving on from FTL would be the problem. 
Civ VI oddly doesnāt hit the sweet spot for my iPad gaming, I think because it has too many moving parts, paradoxically. As I did lose entire nights to the original Civ, this does disappoint. Various flavours of board game are fine, but donāt provide the Invisible Inc replacement solo thinky tactics game Iām looking for. Dream Quest makes my eyes bleed, and I bounced off Darkest Dungeon (planning to revisit it though).
Iāve not played Final Fantasy anything, on any system, ever.

Honestly, the series has ups and downs. Still, amazed to see someone never try any of them. Good news is that FFT requires no prior knowledge of the series. And it is one of the deepest strategic RPGs in existence. Tons of customization for your units, battles that will challenge you, a difficulty curve that, especially for newbies, will most certainly not hold your hand. Itās fun, the story is amazing, the music is enjoyable, itās the total package. Will last you dozens of hours.
For what it is worth, this is literally my favorite video game ever. I have beat it over twenty times with at least half a dozen gameplay variations (monsters only, Monk SCC, no unique characters, randomized classes, ONLY unique characters, and so on)

How about an all-mime run?

Bleh. I almost never get mimes. I donāt like the classes that require a ton of grinding to unlock.
Neither have I. Not a single minute.
Why? Are yāall trying to prove something, or are you just not a fan of delicious flavor?
Final Fantasy is very good.
On the tactics side, I actually enjoyed the FF tactics advance 1/2 on SP more that war of the lion versions. But I played them (and ogre battle) first

Too many people give FFTA and FFTA2 crap for its visuals. However it has improved gameplay over the Original FFT that it feels downright clunky in comparison.
However the lighthearted not-so-deep-story and cutesy races gets all the edgy edgelords on edge edging about on the forums, its plain silly.
I am all for dark, mature deep political and philosophical settings in games but not all above else.
WHAT?!?
(I figured that was the reaction my avatar demanded. As you were.)

They were good, but not better than WotL for me. I didnāt like the Judges and I would have preferred not to have different classes locked to different races, but thatās just a personal preference.

It was so long ago I remember very little of it.
Wish I had more time to play stuff!
Actually playing through Age of Wonders 3 at the moment since it was free! (Steam)
This. I admit the poor plot to FFTA was also a turnoff; itās like if the next Song of Ice and Fire title to be published was a childrenās picture book. Written by an actual child. But it also has inferior gameplay thanks to unnecessary gating at every turn and a lack of high stakes. I canāt honestly think of a single area where it was superior to WotL.
Well, it has Vieraā¦
Exactly.
You got me curious.
I add my voices to the ānever played FF anythingā.
On the AppStore Iāve found āFF wotlā Is it this one? One review is complaining about clunky controlsā¦ is it so? Asking because I loathe games with bad controls.

The controls are not ideal, just like most console to touchscreen ports. The good news is that it is wholly turn-based so it wonāt impact your ability to play at all. That said, if you have a PSP I definitely recommend playing that version first.

Thanks. I do not own a PSP, so Iāll think about it a bit before buying. My backlog is long enough as it is.
