There's some differences in western and eastern tactical RPGs, western ones usually have much more strategic/tactical choices outside of combat and choice of where to battle, while eastern tactical RPGs are more story oriented and have less choice of what battles to fight as the story is more streamlined.

The first Tactical RPG video game was released on December 9, 1988.

Banpresto, Sega and Nintendo published most of these games.
