I wanted to get NEStalgia and Kingdom of Loot but they both are for Windows only, i'm stuck playing with emulators FFTA, FFVI and such, i'm looking for something like Ecol Tactics (shutdown) or Final Fantasy Tactics A2, or just something around those lines that is an MMORPG and that i can play on MAC OS X, if anyone has any suggestions let me know.

Regarding OP you can try Dofus Touch or Wakfu, those are the games i always recommend since they are the only MMORPG's i see myself coming back to on and off throughout the years.
Tactical games almost always have some sort of grind to em in some shape or form. I don't know too many that were purely about the mechanics.

There are a few interesting ones (though not entirely sure all are playable on Mac) like:

-Duelyst which is fun but has its ups and downs.
-Card Hunter - Multiplayer PvE/PvP.
-Atlantica - has a rep for being P2W back in the day, though I don't know how it is now; haven't messed with it in years.

There there are some old school games like Vantage Master which has a solo campaign and I think a Player vs Player Mode IIRC.

if you are doing older single player tactical games, you might wanna check out the Mega Man Battle Network (Skip 1 and start with number 2)/Starforce (1 and 3 are good 2 is meh) series. They are Action/Card based games but fun as hell.

Some retro style games that are fun but not exactly tactical you might like:
Tangledeep - Turn Based Roguelike, has interesting mechanics/classes.
Wayward - Survival Roguelike. Pretty sure it is playable on Mac.
Cladun X2/Sengoku -Action Roguelike. Lots of customization character/stat wise.
Cross Code - Action RPG/puzzle/platformer. (pretty sure is Mac compatible).
Desktop Dungeons (Playable on Mac)

Hopefully someone will come with some more/better suggestions for you.
