Here's a list of every PS1 RPG by release date. I have questions for you.


Recommended Posts

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.

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.

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.
According to Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persona_2), Innocent Sin didn't receive a US release on the PS1, just the PSP. (And apparently Eternal Punishment didn't come out on the PSP in the US, just the PS1.)

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.

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.
