I started playing Disgaea 1 for my Discord server's game of the month. I bounced off of this game all the way back at release. Now, I've given it a fair shake and it's already feeling like another one of those I would actually have liked back in the day. My experience with this genre is still pretty limited; I've played Final Fantasy Tactics and Tactics Ogre: LUCT along with a couple of the newer Fire Emblem games.

What do you think are the must-play strategy JRPGs?

If you're into old stuff, I'd recommend Shining Force on the Sega Genesis. This was one of the earliest strategy RPGs in the west (at least on console).

There might've been earlier ones, but this came out in the West only 2~3 years after the original Fire Emblem came out in Japan (exclusively).

This was made by the company that would go on to make the Golden Sun games (not SRPGs, but more cult classic JRPGs)!
