looking for a very specific type of game

[NotGary]

okay, so I'll start.
are there any classic style rpg (think, classic final fantasy style battle system, or something like rpgmaker) about mechs or that have mechs as the central character/focus in gameplay ?

it's a thought I've had since like, yesterday and from what I've seen, nothing I know of, really comes close.
I'm thinking of a classic, character and level based progression with customization of equipment.
closest I've seen, where squad based/units based, where you didn't gain level ups.

The only one I know is MechQuest from Artix Entertainment. Other than that, no dice.

There's always Front Mission if you're okay with tactical rpgs.

There's an old GBA game called Zoids Legacy, which has classic JRPG elements, and you can build mechs too. You can also add additional weapons to mechs in your party, too.

If you like turn-based strategy, there's the Super Robot Wars series.

Perpetually living on the edge is one way of doing it. Not a great way, but a way nonetheless.

I should probably keep my mouth shut, don't want any drama.

But this time the profile is visible, I remember when Richman told to @Purpleboi that "he may lose his ability to post at all", maybe it's a way to be able to keep using the account for the main site (you know, to read manga and keep track of it).

And somebody was assassinated today around the time he posted asking about the best method of execution.
