Interesting thread.
So much that I felt compelled to register and post and revive the thread. :)
Seems like we have somewhat similar taste in games.
Just out of curiosity, do you aim for speed (beat the final boss as soon as possible) or completeness (find every treasure/character/secret) when playing RPGs?


LOL! i'm more of a completist, i try to find EVERY treasure, character, secret a game has to offer rather than speed to the end and
be an utter noob and EPIC FAIL on the last boss. OH! and thanks for the ZSNES save-states poyon skill offset codes over at
gamehacking.org .. welcome to Dynamic Designs.. enjoy your visit here :)

If it is a really good game, I aim for completeness. If the game is mediocre than probably speed if I finish it at all. If the game is from an important series, I more than likely aimed for the former.

I'm a completionist myself, striving for a perfect game when possible.
But I do use cheats / save game hacks to avoid the grindier aspects of RPG gaming though ;)

Haven't you played Shining Force 2 yet? It's a pretty big improvement over the first one in almost every way, starting for the much more balanced level up system, which I remember being one of the sweetest things to not worry about the growth of my characters as much as other Strategy RPGs...

It's one of my favourite games for that system, so much fun, the music, the sense of a bigger adventure, I want to play it again now... I even wasted my time making a mod to mix things up when i want to do a different run of the game.

Genesis' Shadowrun was pretty damn impressive. It's like Fallout, before fallout. In my modest opinion I think it has aged better than Fallout in some ways.

Chaos Seed for Super Famicom should be banned, it's too addicting. Jesus Christ, the combination of different gameplay elements was brilliant.

For Super Famicom there was one called Dream Maze that was translated. It is a first person RPG, with the twist that you travel through dreams with enemies being all kind of toys, some of them are actually animated costumes that when you defeat you can wear!

You can improve them to have more abilities and be stronger. It's weird yet fun.

Seeing that there are a few 2D-Action games with small RPG touches here and there, you may want to look up Popful Mail for the Sega CD.

It's some kind of Wonder Boy in Monster World kind of game, where you get different characters to play with and you explore big levels. It has a lot of charm and humour, and some of the best intentional cheesy dialogues i've seen. And it's apparent right from the introduction, where one character makes a Total Recall reference.

It's really fun.

I don't know if you have access to a Wii, but there were a couple of interesting gems, like Chocobo Dungeon (Mystery Dungeon type of game plus a class system, spells and FF music? YES PLEASE) or Arc Rise Fantasia, that while it has a not so great dub (Although it's pretty hilarious if you like House of the Dead / Resident Evil 1) the battle system was really, really addicting. It was made by the guys that did Tales of Symphonia. another fantastic RPG for GameCube.

And if you're into experimental / Weird and unique RPGs, there is Opoona. Visually it looks too much like a DreamCast game, but seeing the ammount of games you have played I think you don't care about visuals too much.

Sorry for the wall of text.

You should try playing Shining Force 3, it is also a significant improvement over Shining Force 2. While only the first scenario was actually released on the Sega Saturn in English, all 3 scenarios and the bonus disk have been fan translated and its not too hard to play on an emulator.

Nope. The translation patch I have is pretty broken at the end, didnt really feel like replaying.

Also in my list. Agree about Shadowrun. I really enjoyed the SNES version.

Put this on the backburner for now, still figuring out how the dungeon building works.

This is Yume Meikyu in Japanese. Beaten it. Overall a pretty simple game.

Heard of Popful Mail. Didnt know it was an RPG/RPG-like game.

No more console for me though. Pretty much PC these days. :)

Thought this would be a good place to insert this link to a big retrospective of Ogre Battle/Tactics Ogre that HG101 just uploaded yesterday. It covers 4 major games and a side story game in the franchise.
http://www.hardcoregaming101.net/ogreba ... battle.htm

Blurb on front page [Note the mispelling of the legendary composer Hitoshi Sakimoto, with the t in it. It shouldn't be r there! :shock: But his name is spelt correctly in all four pages of the feature and there are several links about him on the fourth and last page.]:
Quote:
The legendary SRPG series from Quest, designed and written by Yasumi Matsuno and with music by Hitoshi Sakimoro and Masaharu Iwata, this article also covers the hugely influential Tactics Ogre spinoff.
