Been playing Tactics a lot and I feel like I need a different game to play.
Does anyone know any final fantasy games I could get for under $30 on steam?

New here, frequent user of the site.
Hey, so I'm browsing the Final Fantasy Tactics wiki, and under the "bangaa" heading it lists that it is the only race without a unique playable character. Am i mistaken in thinking that Pallanza, the Bangaa secret recruitable character, would count as a "unique playable character?" I'm asking before I go making any edits. Thanks!
I mean, it's by far the least represented game, even more considering there's only two characters from Tactics while Tactics itself has tons of them (regardless if you count the Advance games or not).
Currently, we only have Ramza and Agrias as Tactics characters in Opera Omnia, and on top of that, they aren't that developed. Well, apparently, Ramza recently got a FR, which was all he was missing, Agrias is still missing both FR and BT (funny, considering that, at least on GL, she is commonly present in banners), but at the end of the day, Ramza only got both a BT and FR because he is the protagonist of Tactics. They've been handing FR and BT to "minor" characters, so to say, so Agrias could definitely already have gotten something of the sort. But anyway. It also took a lot of time for Ramza to get his FR, which just further shows the abandonment Square has given this realm.
And don't even get me started story-wise. It's already awful that Laguna basically stole what was Ramza's compass of light, leaving both Ramza and Agrias completely lost during Act 3. We don't even know where they are in Act 4; we lost them thanks to mister president, congratulations. And even before that, they didn't have a big impact story wise. They interacted mainly with the characters of FFXII, due to them also being from an Ivalice, and occasionally interacted with others. But it was also very scarce, you'd barely noticed them almost.
I sometimes wonder if this is intensional or Square just really has no idea of adding anyone from Tactics, at least not soon. I mean, they've added all Dawn Warriors, they've added Braska, they've added Nabaat, they've added a bunch of people that are far more shocking than adding Delita or Cid or Alma or others from Tactics and/or the Advance games.
This does leave me to wonder if Ramza and Agrias being "left behind" is an allusion to Tactics itself and how Ramza is a "lost hero", the true hero, but not the one that received the glories (those went to Delita, from what I understood. Orran was in charge of making sure Ramza's journey and accomplishments were written down, since no one would ever give an heretic credits for saving the world. And Orran isn't no one, so he'll do it ☺️). Still, it leaves me pretty hurt, because, although I haven't ever played Tactics, I watched its story and I really liked it. But if Square is just gonna forget about them, there's no chance Rapha will ever be added 😔 (she's my favorite character of the game, despite being opticional), considering more important characters aren't added either.
Honestly, it was quite the shock to me when I moved from RK to Opera Omnia, because in RK Tactics was a realm with lots of characters (not the most, I think, but close), so then being only met with 2 was kinda heartbreaking, tbh. It was also one my favorite realms to play around with, so you can understand the shock.

Like a machine that is so well oiled, Square Enix is indeed gaining gold with the Final Fantasy project, which in the last few series has not been associated with the quality it should have. The skyrocketing popularity of Final Fantasy XIV, Final Fantasy VII Remake which built the foundation for more similar projects and sequels, and Final Fantasy XVI which currently manages to appear as one of the games with high hype. Interesting again? Square Enix seems to have one more big surprise in 2023.
This was conveyed by the official New Year's message released by Yoshinori Kitase. Apart from asking gamers to provide support to Yoshi-P who will be busy with Final Fantasy XVI, Kitase also ensures that the game production process that he handles – Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is starting to gain momentum. Which is interesting? Kitase mentions that Square Enix has one more big surprise regarding the name Final Fantasy in 2023, and it won't be related to Final Fantasy VII.
Of course, this information raises various speculations, especially since a leak from NVIDIA in 2021 mentioned names such as Final Fantasy IX Remake and Final Fantasy Tactics Remastered as products being planned by Square Enix. How about you? There is speculation that it will end up being what this game will be?
Tactics has so many bad guys that a poll most probably wouldn't be able to fit them all. And like this I can ask two questions at once!
My personal favorite is Elmdore. Love his silver hair, how flexible he is even though his probably 50 or something and the fact he is Zalera (still prefer the FFXII version). Also, the fact he is the one to kill the Grand Duke.
Speaking of which, he's my least favorite. Grand Duke Gerrith Barrington. That's what you get for raping Rapha, how dare you! Gosh, I hate this one with a passion. Unfortunately, it isn't the party that kills him, but Elmdore does it just fine.
