my rpg favs

Zeromus_X · 09-21-2005, 01:24 AM

other than ffs, these are other rpgs that i think should be considered legends...

dragon quest: (you may have heard of it ^^ ) DQ was and rpg made by enix, now "square enix" . it is very popular in japan. (and alot of other places too!) DQ 8 is coming out for ps2 soon, (here in US) ...now if only i had a ps2

DQ always seems to maintain a classic feel, of dragons and demon lords and damsels in distress...(thats alliteration, right? ^^; ) DQ 1-4 were released in america as "dragon warrior", with nintendo of americas strict guidelines, of course. DQ 5 and 6 were for the super famicom(SNES) 7 for ps1, and recently 8 for ps2. with art by akira toriyama, you just have to love it!

mother: (mother 1 was for the NES. it wasnt released in US. mother 2 was released in US as "earthbound") mother isnt like most rpgs, where knights and crystals and demons and such... the main heroes are 4 young children! with weapons such as baseball bats and toys...and food for healing items! shigesato itoi is the creator of this wonderful series! there are also little messeges in the story, ya know, innocence, everyones good n evil, etc. unfortunately, unless youre in japan, you probably cant get mother 1, without the demiforce rom, "earthbound zero". even more unfortunate, there have been no more mother games announced, save the one years ago, planned for N64, which was cancelled.

chrono trigger: oh, you can find ffnut's posts somewhere ^^

Sa Ga: released as "final fantasy legend" for the game boy in the US. uses a leveling system like ff2 for famicom. saga 1-3 for gameboy. 4-6 for snes, in japan , i believe. and others for playstation, where they changed them back to saga, probably because square wasnt with nintendo

i will add more as soon as i think of good paragraphs...sounds like an essay, doesnt it? now if i could put this much effort into schoolwork...when chocobos fly!! wait a minute...

note: please note, im an old school rpg fan, thats why so many of these may be for the nes and snes, the latter which i believe to have some of the best rpgs ever made, IMO. sadly, that was back when americans werent all into rpgs, save dedicated fans like me

hopefully, the rest of the wonderful world got lucky, and got the cool rpgs un edited...i envy you ^^)

and yet another note: why wont it let me use alot of smilies? theyre so neat..then again, i guess itd be spam if they let people use a million smilies per post...

This goes in the Other Video Games forum, not RPG Discussion forum (that's more for real role playing, not RPGs you play on a console, as far as I understand). Hope you don't mind my moving it

Rorschach · 09-28-2005, 08:26 PM

Nice job

My other favs:
1. Might and Magic Series (3do)
2.Dungeon Siege 1/2 (more of an action RPG, Chris Taylor/Gas Powered Games)

Thats pretty much it, I don't have a PS so no chrono Trigger or Dragon Quest

Zeromus_X · 09-28-2005, 08:39 PM

well...of course...there are other ways...not exactly "legal" ways...

lol

Squall Leonhart · 01-04-2006, 01:18 AM

So here do you just list your favorite RPGs?

1. Final Fantasy 8

2. Final Fantasy Tactics

3. Final Fantasy 7

Zeromus_X · 01-04-2006, 02:31 AM

well i was making a list of what i thought were generally accepted as being great rpgs, and some of my own favorites. (along with a short analysis of 'em), but you can do that if ya want.

Squall Leonhart · 01-21-2006, 12:13 AM

and...
4. FF9

5. FFX

6. Fable the lost Chapters(Xbox)

Tiny Bronco · 01-21-2006, 09:12 PM

Besides FFs i like the Heoros of Might and Magic Series. A PC game thats pretty fun.

Squall Leonhart · 01-21-2006, 11:42 PM

Fable was good but way too short. ( Like 15 hours to beat it with everything done

)

Tiny Bronco · 01-21-2006, 11:45 PM

That's really short. Just 15 hrs. dissapointing.

Squall Leonhart · 01-22-2006, 12:18 AM

Yeah, it was very, very fun though

Tiny Bronco · 01-22-2006, 01:11 PM

The Baldur's Gate series are also wonderful RPGs and if you're looking for a game to play pick this one.

Played and loved Dark Aliance for the PS2

Tiny Bronco · 01-22-2006, 01:29 PM

Dark Alliance! Good game. Planescape: Torment is also fun.

Squall Leonhart · 01-22-2006, 01:43 PM

would you consider Halo to be an RPG?
