SwordBreaker Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 I second Super Mario RPG. That's the game that got me into RPGs in the first place so I'm very fond of it. I downloaded it on the VC a couple of days ago and it still plays great. BTW, that music video is hilarious. That should get posted on OCR or something.

Monobrow Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 Lufia II - Rise of the Sinistrals (PLAY THIS FIRST BEFORE LUFIA I FOR GOD'S SAKES) (SNES) I actually played the first Lufia before the second one came out, and I remember being mildly curious about Maxim and his crew etc. Then I played Lufia II, and I think honestly that knowing what happened at the end because of the first Lufia made the second game that much more awesome. Seriously, references to the first game and stuff were way cool. Anyway if you can get through the first Lufia because of all the really really annoying random battles every step, I'd recommend playing it first, just because from my POV, playing the first made the second even better. But that's just me. Also did I mention Lufia had the worst random monster encounter rate since NES dragon warrior games? Also speaking of Dragon Warrior (Quest), play my favorite: Dragon Warrior IV, for the NES. I love this game. Seriously, it's highly recommended. Two other people have mentioned it!

yangfeili Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 Ys Books I & II (For the DS although it has seen previous ports) The Ys series in general is awesome, but sadly the only games most people are familiar with are some of the more mediocre games in the series (Ys III: Wanders from Ys, and Ys VI: Ark of Napishtim -- although they're both decent). I've imported Ys I & II Complete (SNES-esque), Oath in Felghana (an overhauled remake of Ys III, turning it from the worst game in the series to the best), and Ys Origin (a prequel to the whole series), and they're all absolutely awesome (with translation patches available for the first three). Very action-packed and gameplay-centered, with a definite oldschool vibe to the challenging boss fights and awesome soundtracks (which need far more remixes!!!). If you particularly like stuff like Illusion of Gaia and Terranigma, you should definitely check into Falcom's stuff, since Quintet was founded by former Falcom staff and definitely had a similar style and quality to their games. EDIT: I should just let this page do the talking http://hg101.classicgaming.gamespy.com/ys/ys.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nrich Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 Nobody's mentioned Secret of Evermore, the American-made Secret of Mana-style real-time RPG, I don't think. The graphics and storyline are classic, and you cannot go wrong at all with Jeremy Soule's debut pristine soundtrack. Definitely one of my favorite RPGs. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5YMEu9aO8QA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imagist Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 They are role playing games, in LoZ - ALttP you play the role of Link. How does this not describe 90% of all games ever? The point is that, gameplay-wise, it is an action-adventure game (and so is Startropics). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elex Synn Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 You just posted music from the game not actual game play Just edit your post for future references A personal favorite Valkyrie Profile (PS1) Oh right can't forget going over the top so... *Chokes on dough nut* Holy crap dude, this looks sweet. As for a suggestion you could always try "Wonder boy in Monster world" and "Gemfire", granted they were both on the Genesis. In all honesty there are many more titles you should play before these two though, but I hadn't seen them mentioned yet. Oh I can't believe I almost forgot! Ogre Battle on the SNES, but I'm going to warn you now it's not really a weekend rental kind of game. Taking this game down can take some time... *Sigh* I love Deneb.

Sinewav Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 There are a few that if you haven't played, you absolutely have to... Chrono Trigger Super Mario RPG Seiken Densetsu 3 (Secret of Mana 2; the best in the series IMO) Secret of Mana Earthbound It's a bit cliche at times but I've really been enjoying Tales of Phantasia. And I know you asked for NES or SNES games, but if you've got a GCN/Wii or a Dreamcast, you've gotta play Skies of Arcadia. Very very fun game in a very very unique setting. Anyone know any RPG with a particularly engaging storyline? I enjoy the genre, but Chrono Trigger and Skies of Arcadia are the only ones that have ever held my interest long enough for me to finish the game. I haven't even finished a Final Fantasy yet, though admittedly I've only tried the SNES ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VerSus22 Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 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.. Why not Mother Earth?! (EarthBound) ZSNES is the best emulator available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XZero Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 "Members of the jury... If he is guilty, stand to the left. If innocent, stand to the right." If our jury system worked like it did in Chrono Trigger, deliberation would be so much quicker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
