The Legendary Zoltan Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 (edited) I'm writing down every RPG for PS1 that has an English localization in order of release date. God, I love doing otaku things like this! I have questions for the community. 1. Can you think of any that I've missed? 2. Have you ever seen a list ordered by release date like this anywhere else? 3. What sites do you trust for accurate release dates? Notice that a suspicious number of dates are on the very last day of the month. I guess that's a convention for games that the release month is known and not the exact day. I'd love to be able to get the exact dates for all of those. By the way, I'm doing this for a rap song. Here's the list so far. 1995-12-31 King's Field II 1996-08-31 Beyond the Beyond 1996-11-01 Legacy of Kain, Blood Omen 1996-11-01 Suikoden 1996-11-?? Persona 1997-03-27 Vandal Hearts 1997-04-30 Wild Arms 1997-07-31 Ogre Battle 1997-09-07 Final Fantasy VII 1997-10-02 Castlevania: Symphony of the Night 1997-12-31 Alundra 1998-01-28 Final Fantasy Tactics 1998-03-?? Diablo 1998-03-31 Saga Frontier 1998-04-30 Breath of Fire III 1998-06-01 Blaze & Blade: Eternal Quest (PAL) 1998-06-30 Azure Dreams 1998-06-30 Granstream Saga 1998-08-07 Kartia: Word of Fate 1998-09-09 Parasite Eve 1998-09-30 Dragon Seeds 1998-09-30 Tales of Destiny 1998-10-20 Xenogears 1998-10-31 Brave Fencer Musashi 1998-10-31 Brigandine 1998-11-30 Jade Cocoon 1998-??-??

MindWanderer Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 Very liberal interpretation of "RPG" IMO, but it's consistently so. Other than the fact that Tactics Ogre was sold in the U.S. without the "Let Us Cling Together" subtitle, I can't think of anything you missed, and I checked some obscure ones off the top of my head.

Esperado Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 Sweet cheesecakes! Im glad i dropped my dream of owning every ps1 RPG ever, I have a good number of these, but this list is HUGE! Thanks for this list though, it could be very informative for PSP owners. Quote
FenixDown Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 Nice list! I'll have to remember to consult this the next time I'm looking up under-represented RPG soundtracks for my next compo. Aside from what MindWanderer said about Tactics Ogre not having the "Let Us Cling Together" subtitle (that was on the PSP release), the only thing I really noticed is that Lunar Silver Star Story should have Complete at the end of the title.

Annie Felis Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 I just got a warm fuzzy feeling from seeing Brigandine on the list. I can't think of any PS1 RPGs that you're missing, either. It just makes me lament that I couldn't buy all of these when they were out. A lot of them had very limited print runs. Quote
SystemsReady Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 You're missing Persona II: Innocent Sin, which is the first part of the Persona II duology. :3 Persona 1 also had the "Revelations" title appended to it in the US. Quote

(And apparently Eternal Punishment didn't come out on the PSP in the US, just the PS1.) Quote
Nick Hyral Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 I wish more of these games were on the PSN in the US. I'd kill for Saga Frontier, Breath of Fire III, and Vandals Hearts II just to name a few. Quote
Number 40 Posted August 26, 2018 Posted August 26, 2018 Raising the dead here, because it has to be said. He is missing the Mega Man Legends Series, (1, 2, Misadventures of Tron Bonne). ARPG based on Mega Man. Quote

I just happened to mosey into OCRemix.org for the first time in forever and a very old post I made has been resurrected. My timing is unbelievable. My question about adding Mega Max Legends to the list is: Are there character parameters that you can increase by grinding? We have to have at least that to be an RPG. Although, that means I need to remove Alundra. I don't know if Alundra 2 is the same or not but Alundra actually isn't an RPG, so I should remove it. Quote
Nall SSS Posted October 12, 2024 Posted October 12, 2024 Hi there ! French RPG enthousiast here. I ve been collecting ps1 ntsc u rpgs for 12 years now. This has been my main reference list for years, thanks for this. I would have added tecmo's deception trilogy, might n magic games and deathtrap dungeon imo. A friend of mine is considering xcom and romance of 3 kingdoms games into his RPG list. I m not. Do you think he s right ? Almost completed The quest. Still looking for Digimon 1 and Deception 1. Happy collecting. Quote
