Surrender or die in obscurity-Ramza

I like SRPGs. Well, let me clarify: I like the only two SRPGs I've put any considerable amount of time into: Final Fantasy Tactics and Final Fantasy Tactics Advance.
However, I think I want to break out of that shell. Luminous Arc and Hoshigami Remix are coming up relatively fast (August and May respectively) and I may end up with both of them eventually, as portability and quick-stopability are big pluses.
So does anyone have any suggestions? If I can find Front Mission 4 cheap I'll give it a shot, and my roommate might sell me Disgaea. What about Fire Emblem? I've never really considered it before.
It just seems like now is a good time. Freshman year I stepped out of Street Fighter II Championship Edition's shadow and started kickin' ass all over the place, and I figure maybe I can do that with another genre.
...hell, I guess I should install Half-Life before anything else. But I know I won't.

A lot of people really like Advance Wars, you could give them a shot. If I were pick some, it would be the FFT games and the Fire Emblems.

If you're looking for games that are similar to Tactics and Tactics Advance, then you want to stay away from Fire Emblem.

You should be able to find Front Mission 4 pretty cheap these days. It was running for $19.99 over Christmas last year, although I do like FM3 better than FM4.

And after playing the Japanese version of Luminous Arc, and the US version of Hishigami from way back, I can tell you that Luminous Arc is a much, much better bet.
