Everyone has there lil personal list of Rpgs they play aside from
Final Fantasy, talk about them here give the name, some info and whatnot.
1:Lunar Silver star complete.
Lunar has always been a killer rpg ever since it was released for Ps and even the original, it had great gameplay a kickass story and Ghaleon who rocked as a villian, you get companions who assist you like every great rpg and each one that joins has its own great personality, my fav being kyle the drunkard bandit.
2:Dragonquest 4
everyone who isn't familiar with Dragonquest should know it is actually a renamed DragonWarrior, and being people play it on byond everyone should atleast know the basics of the game, you play a hero working to restore peace and kill the evil demon lord, well on Dragonquest 4 you had characters split into chapters, each chapter having a unique character who later on (SPOILER) join you in the last 2 chapters, the storyline is epic for dragonquest, with great rpg gameplay people love.
3:Saga Frontier
Though UNDERRATED, this game had a unique leveling up system simuler to
Final Fantasy 2, with better gameplay/graphics, if you did the right moves with the right characters you could gain combos dishing out alot of damage, you could choose from 7 characters in the beggining and obtain atleast 15 more throughout playing, each character had its own story and attacks, the story was pretty bland but the gameplay could keep you going.
4:Vandal Hearts
Before Vangaurd bandits, and
Final Fantasy Tactics even came out, This was the ****, you had your classes you could upgrade after 10 or so lvls, you had the attack/defence system for weakness and strengths per class, and a good set of character roles along with great story and gameplay, the tale of evil and triumph and betrayal and even the turning from good to evil via equipment and heart, the battles were basic yet challenging and when you killed someone blood shot everywhere instead of them just dieing, epic enough to play, and replay value for the extras.
5:Fire Emblem 6
Everyone whos a Fire emblem fan can agree that Fire Emblem is one of the most epic Rpgs/strategys released for handhelds and home consoles, the story is great even though you go from battle to battle, the realism in death makes the game great whereas in
Final Fantasy you can revive your dead members, in Fire Emblem they stay dead for good, meaning you have to watch what you do if you wanna keep everyone alive, the classes are epic, and it had a epic role of characters such as Nino, Jaffar, Legault and Hector.
6:Tales of Phantasia
Before I even get started I'll point out to those new to the Tales of series that the first Tales of was Phantasia, alot of people get mixed feelings claiming Legends for Ps was the first, but it wasn't, ANYWAYS, Tales of phantasia is the start of a great line of Tales of games, this one has what I think the best role of characters/villians, the main set of heroes in this tales game, are included in 2-3 other tales games as npcs in arenas and such, the attacks and strategys are epic including the combo system, and the villian Dhaos is an epic character in general, which saddens me that they didn't include his storyline in many of the later games.
7:Tales of Destiny
Yes I have 2 of the tales of series on my top 10, its a great game k lol, Destiny is far from different in battles when it comes to phantasia comparing however the characters are alot different some even being more mature than phantasia, and the storyline is epicly awesome giving the cast of special swords that faught in an ancient war who grant power to the heroes and whatnot, play the game you'll love it.
8:Suikoden 2
As if suikoden 1 was epic already, 2 is just as great if not better with returning characters from 1 who kick ass, and new characters who rock just as much, its a great game including a great storyline and cast of villians, betrayals and friendships, you can get a shitload of characters for custum teams and alot of spells to add to that, while building your own bass, the gameplay is classic turn bassed instead of having 4-5 characters on your team you have 6, each character has a range type setting from small-med and long to seperate characters and create interesting teams.
9:Super Mario RPG
Everyone has played this and if you haven't you're missing out on an epic rpg, bowser is kicked out of his castle and ends up helping mario OWUT anyways it has a great storyline and an epic cast of characters including geno and barlow each boss is unique including some very funny ones and even yoshi makes an apparence in this, check it out, rom it, buy it just play it.
10:Live-a-Live
Call me crazy but in Japan, this game is more populer than the
Final Fantasy series, yet japan never released it to the U.S, some say its because of how different the gameplay in battles is, or how the game plays itself, a lil idea is the 6 storylines you can play, each one is a chapter you playthrough the gameplay itself is awesome, the cowboy chapter being my favorite, the sundown kid rocks, its also Ixias icon if anyone ever noticed
, anyways Rom it or import it, but try it out its awesome.
now everyone geta posting! yahear?
