Retro RPG's (might contain spoilers)

Recommended Posts

yep retro RPG's.

in my opinion the retro RPG's were the best and there have not been a single game on this generation consoles that has beaten the SNES and other retro consoles IMO. The best example are.

Chrono Trigger

Secret of Mana

Final Fantasy 6

 

so really this thread is mostly were you talk about the good times of retro RPG's.

My favorite snes rpg's:

- Secret of mana 1 & 2

- Secret of evermore

- Zelda

- Super Mario RPG

- Terranigma

- FF VI (III in U.S.)

- Chrono Trigger

 

My favorite RPG, allthough not very retro IMO would be FFVII. I wouldn't mind buying a remake of the game.

Best Snes RPG was Tales of Phantasia followed closely by Chrono trigger and FFVI.

 

- FF VI (III in U.S.)
I thought FFIII was the Japanese famicom game never released in the US until its remake as FFVI for the SNES?

Chrono Trigger is my favourite like most people.

Grandia definitely

Xenogears has the best RPG storyline ever no question.

Secret of Mana, Final Fantasy VI as well as Final Fantasy VII or course.

 

I thought I might as well put screenshots to make the thread a little more interesting.

i forgot all about Tales of Phantasia, that was a really good game, i am currently playing it right now from time to time.

 

and with FF3, in America final fantasy VI became number 3 because they never released number 3 on the NES in America.

so yeah it's really confusing, but now that they are releasing number 3 on the DS it won't get so confusing

That´s exactly my opinion. The RPG´s and Adventure games on the SNES are the best games of its kind and that´s why the SNES is my all-time favourite console since RPG´s and Adventure games (Zelda style) are my favourite genre.

 

Some of my favourites:

 

Lufia 1 & 2

Breath of Fire 1 & 2

Final Fantasy III (or VI)

Chrono Trigger

 

Adventure games:

 

Zelda 3 - A link to the past

Secret of Mana (I consider this to be an adventure game rather than a RPG)

Lagoon

Illusion of Time

Chrono Trigger

Secret of Mana

Final Fantasy 6

 

That pretty much covers my top 3, with FF6 on top. When placed side by side, FF6 beats the pants off FF7 in terms of story, battle system (lighting quick, no load times, even had limit breaks), character development and cleaner graphics.

 

Other good ones are Shadowrun, Secret of Evermore, and Dragon Warrior 5

.

 

They're both on Playstation. Grandia came out on Saturn in Japan too.

 

To explain THAT story would be impossible for me, seriously. It's plot is similar in madness to Killer 7 and it's made by Squaresoft.

Interesting. So i have to play it to find out. Was there any other Xenogears? Because its being released on PSP so it leads me to believe there may be more than one?

And it had a pal release yes?

Yeah there's Xeno games on PS2 as well, you can get Xenogears off the internet if you can't find it, It didn't get a Pal release unfortunately so I played it on an emulator.

 

I got it by illegal means because it's brilliant and Europe didn't even get it.

I haven't played any as I don't have retro consoles :red:

Didn't get into gaming till GB/GBA/Gamecube, and when NES,SNES etc were out I was pretty young. I always wanted a N64 but never ended up getting one.

 

Good news guys if you didn't know. TALES OF PHANTASIA IS COMING TO EUROPE ON GBA!! March 31st :hehe:

Phantasia is probably going to be toned down for the kiddies, in the ship the girl on the broom (forgot her name) fantasises about having sex with Cless in her sleep, when you knock on a certain door you hear a woman shout "Quick it's my husband, put your pants on!" oh and womem and children get murdered frequently.

 

Dejap confirmed that was exactly the content when the translated it.

 

I have no idea what was going through Namco's minds at the time, it didn't get a US release because of how controversial it was.

Agree about shadowrun, really good different type of game. Scret of mana has to be the best though. ( I dont count zelda 3 as an rpg)

 

I saw secret of mana in gamestation the other day for 60 quid, i was really tempted to buy it, but in the end i thought it was too much to pay. secret of evermore was also 30 quid. When I get more money ( donations accepted people) I may buy both.

That's a STUPID idea!!! Those kind of jokes and such are funny!! They could have just given it an 'M' rating there and a 15 here
