Halt Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 Preferably one for the NES or SNES not Final Fantasy. Not that I dont like FF, i just want something new for a change. If you could suggest me a good Emulator too, It would be well appreciated.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagist Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 Super Mario RPG. Seriously. EDIT: Schwaltzvald, I would hardly say Startropics and A Link to the Past are RPGs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audio fidelity Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 terranigma or earthbound are good rpgs that change it up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schwaltzvald Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 Super Mario RPG.Seriously. EDIT: Schwaltzvald, I would hardly say Startropics and A Link to the Past are RPGs. They are role playing games, in LoZ - ALttP you play the role of Link. As for Startropics I have no clue but for one reason or another Nintendo has it under RPG in their virtual console You're more than welcome to debate its classification with them. I do however second Super Mario RPG. I shouldn't even have to recommend because if you haven't downloaded/bought it in one form or another, then you must be STUPID Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halt Posted September 6, 2008 Author Share Posted September 6, 2008 Excuse me, I do have an NES. I had it at one point. but lost it in the times i have moved. i bought another NES aswell recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brycepops Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 Well if you guys are going to mention Illusion of Gaia and Terranigma, I might as well add Soul Blazer to the list. Edit: Oh, and you could try 7th Saga ;3. Try not to pull out all your hair with that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schwaltzvald Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 Excuse me, I do have an NES. I had it at one point. but lost it in the times i have moved. i bought another NES aswell recently. the point...? If you were responding to my last bit on my post I was being sarcastic. If you need an emu make a search for zsnes (snes) & fce ultra (nes). If you mean to actually buy cartridges and stuff then good luck on your search on finding those specific games without going to ebay and paying an arm and leg for them. Dunno what else your post would mean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incronaut Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 considering cody said "nes" i tihnk he misread what you were trying to say schwaltz.. oh well i would have to say Super Mario RPG is amazing, earthbound is... interesting, i always get to fourside and then get somewhat frustrated for some reason... secret of mana i would say is amazing... lufia ii i would say is one of the most underrated games ever cause its so awesome too ZSNES.

yangfeili Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 I'm about to start Legend of Heroes II, I, and III on the PSP (which are really III, IV, and V). The one thing every professional review I've ever read fails to mention (and thus possibly accounting for the low scores and criticisms that the games "add nothing new to the genre") is that they are remakes, and the original versions were released in the SNES era. Might be worth recommending...? Not sure, haven't actually started playing them yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linkjing Donuts Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 i am secretly taking these recommendations into consideration because i am also looking for an rpg to play shhhhhhh don't tell anyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's awesome enough to just warrant that vid But also its hard finding a good vid on it without finding a motherfucking tool commentating over it >:L Seriously though...

The Coop Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 -=NES=- Dragon Warrior Dragon Warrior II Dragon Warrior III Dragon Warrior IV -=SNES=- 7th Saga -=Master System=- Phantasy Star Miracle Warriors -=Genesis=- Phantasy Star II Phantasy Star III Phantasy Star IV Traysia Sword of Vermillion Sorcerer's Kingdom Shining In The Darkness Warriors Of The Eternal Sun Faery Tale Adventure King's Bounty (some action/strategy RPGs are Shining Force, Shining Force II, Light Crusader, Beyond Oasis, Landstalker, Shadowrun, and Exile) For the SNES, go with ZSNES. For the Master System and Genesis, go with either Kega Fusion or Gens. I could name some others for the Sega CD, Saturn and PS1, but I don't know if you're interested in buying/DLing CD images, or setting up the slightly more complicated emulation to run them.

Barnsalot Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 Super Mario RPG, Breath of Fire 2, and Lufia 2 are the three best SNES RPGs you're going to find, excluding the Final Fantasy series. I use SNES9x. I've tried ZSNES before and it's fine, but I can't figure out why that's the one everybody always recommends. Is there anything special about it?

L.T.W. Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 Why isnt Illusion of Gaia as a downloadable game in the VC library yet? Damn I miss that game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tensei Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 Go with Live-a-live (you should be able to find a translated version of the ROM). Easily the most underappreciated and overlooked Square RPG and for me personally hands down the BEST Square RPG. Think of it as a combination of Final Fantasy V or VI (similar graphics), Final Fantasy Tactics (somewhat similar tactical combat system) and a dash of Chrono Trigger (vague resemblance in settings and storyline). Oh, and it has some incredible music as well: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenobio Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 I know that NES and SNES titles were specifically requested, but most of the good ones have been named already so I'm gonna throw out a slightly newer generation (Playstation) but equally awesome "old-school" style action RPG: Alundra.
