"Maybe the difference would be... Strategy = something planned beforehand. While Tactics = strategic elements being used in the moment. Honestly, I don't know what the hell I'm trying to say."

I get what you mean. I'm OK with strategy, but it tends to bore me. Micromanagement takes a lot of energy, although it's easy to get the hang of.

Tactics, on the other hand, I love. Thinking on your feat is way better, in my opinion. There's so much more skill involved.

"there is no difference, it's the same meaning.  Tactics just sounds better at the end of a game title, that's all.

Final Fantasy Tactics is a Turn-Based Strategy game, while Warcraft is a Real Time Strategy game.  They both use tactics, and you need to strategize with them both.  The ony thing that seperates the "Strategy" genre is if the game is real time or turn based, and then after that, if they're RPGs or not.."

Wrong. It's like saying a magazine and a clip are the same; they aren't. And tactics/strategy are entirely different.

Also, throw in some Pokemon Snap and light stealth elements.

Windwaker also had a camera AND light stealth elements..  it also had partner puzzles"

Oh yeah, I forgot that. At any rate, though, Windwaker isn't the first game that comes to mind when we look at the Zelda series as a whole."

another one is Namco.  Soul Calibur 2 was not only the best selling Soul Calibur game, but it sold the best by a large margin on the Gamecube, when Soul Calibur III was PS2 only, it kinda flopped... another one is Tales of Symphonia which happens to be the best selling Tales of game to date with over a million sold.  They desided to slap the next two Tales of games on the PS2 only, Legendia flopped hard and Abyss barely scrapped past 250,000 sales..

and don't forget Rare's flop record since leaving the Nintendo fold..

"I have a question, is Folklore a JRPG?"
