I personally prefer FF Tactics over any other tactical RPG I've played because of the job and skill system. After every battle I was checking to see how much JP I earned to see if there was anymore skills or spells I could learn.
Secondly, several games in the Tactics Ogre series have been released. If memory serves there was two on the SNES, but only 1 of the 2 came to America. There's one on the N64 as well, and lastly, the GBA one. Knights of Lodis.

Umm, madcow, you missed the point of what I was talking about. Let me try to make it a little more clear. If you can, try to find a game review site, that covers both American and Japanese games. If you can't, just find a review for any of the "Tactics Ogre" or "Ogre Tactics" games. Study what it says about gameplay. Then, look at Final Fantasy Tactics. The Final Fantasy theme was plastered over the Ogre theme. Heck, Square licensed the Tactics Ogre game system from Atlus, the developers of Tactics Ogre. So I'm not really sure why you thought I was pigeon-holing the entire Tactical genre as a mod.
Ogre games (In no particular order):
Ogre Tactics: The Knight of Lodis (Tactics/GBA)
Ogre Battle 64: Person of Lordly Caliber (Army/N64)
Tactics Ogre (Tactics/PS1)
Ogre Battle: March of the Black Queen (Army/SNES)
Legends of Ogre Battle Gaiden: Prince of Zenobia (Army/NeoGeo)
