Yeah, ChatGPT thought it was Vanguard Bandits, but then has it's doubts after your follow-up.

It and the other initial guesses:

⭐ Vanguard Bandits (PS1)

Medieval world with magitech mecha (ATACs), grid tactics, long-range weapons, anime-style combat cut-ins.

⭐ Arc the Lad II (PS1)

Tactical battles, a more industrial fantasy world, actual tanks appear in some missions, battle cut-ins like Shining Force, and long-range artillery.

⭐ Feda: The Emblem of Justice (SNES / Sega Saturn)

Very Shining-Force-style presentation, semi-futuristic military fantasy setting, cut-in battle animations, and some mechanical units—not quite tanks, but close.

⭐ Bahamut Lagoon (SNES)

Not tanks, but a fantasy-with-machinery world with cannons, airships, and multi-tile artillery attacks.


When I confirmed it wasn't Vanguard Bandits and encouraged it to give me some more ideas:

Given that it's not the first one, it can't identify a clear winner, but suggested:

Fire Emblem, Ring of Red, Valkyria Chronicles.

These are all great ideas. Its increasing my games to play list each time I read the thread. But none of these are it. Its a much more recent game than SNES or PS1/2. The last time I saw it mentioned was when this website had the "twitter" feed type shit implemented. So in all honesty, I could just be misremembering it myself. I appreciate all of you trying to help me find it, though. Dont want anyone going out of their way to find it, either, please.

Maybe Valkyria Chronicles then. I was going back to snes and ps1 era LIKE YOU SAID.

I guess you didn’t say ps1, but when you said Nintendo/playstation I assumed you meant the originals.

Someone help me find a game.

Nintendo or Playstation (not on PC outside of emulator)
Turn Based Tactical Combat similar to Shining Force, Langrisser, Unicorn Overlord
Fantasty / Medieval. But it has tanks and similar magitech.
Battle Scenes just like Shining Force.
Tanks and other units can attack from several tiles away.

Any thoughts?
Shining in the Darkness and Shining force we're easily two of my favorite games on the Genesis. I have no clue what game you're talking about though.

Ogre Battle? Final fantasy Tactics? There are a shitload of tactical games from the SNES/PS era.

Nintendo and Playstation is way to vague. You might as well say "hey any of ya'll remember that game on that console with the pixels?" Sounds worse then my mom trying to describe an actor to me "Hey you remember that actor... you know... the one with the... thing *makes nonsensical hand movements*"

The Shining in the Darkness sequel on Saturn was pretty comfy. I still have my copy but I think my Saturn is toast. May be time to try and emulate it its been a long long time since I last played it.
