Disgaea: Hour of Darkness (PS2)

What if RPG were weird?

Jeanne d'Arc (PSP)

The French Revolution

Jeanne d'Arc is a level of 5 RPG based on the French and English War. Historical characters appear as leadership, Joan of Arc, but with a fantastic reversal, because these kingdoms are also inhabited by animal people and demons. It is a classic grid -based battle system, but some heroes units can be transformed through objects of force to the knight's armor, similar to transformation sequences in programs as Power Rangers.

Valkyria Chronicles (PS3)

Ww2, as if you never see it

Valkyria chroniclES is also an alternative history of RPG, although it is framed around the World War II incident in the fantastic version of Europe instead of being directly based on Earth like France in Jeanne d'Arc. Players start in a quiet nation that gets into the ongoing war.

Two different things distinguish this game from any tactical RPG of this era. Art design makes it look like a watercolor that comes to life, presented as a book of history. Instead of moving on the grid, each character can move freely anywhere on the battlefield, within their energy limits, in real time, and the game stops as they start to focus. This contributes to the chaos of war, so every conflict is more harrowing than the last one.
