The Discussion Thread -Day #9- The 15th Annual Greatest Games Event

[Farsala]

The days march on and I can't keep up. I try to be brief.

42 was unguessed, It is Disgaea 2.

I was super hyped for this sequel when it came out because the original Disgaea was so good. This game is good in its own right but doesn't keep up with the best Disgaea games. It features the main character using fists, which is rare in the series. The much expanded roster of monsters and classes were appreciated. As always I made my usual party members and had a blast smashing each stage with them. If you like tactical JRPGs, I recommend playing this one after Disgaea, Disgaea 5 and Disgaea 7.

39 was unguessed. One person correctly guessed it was a digimon game. Digimon Cyber Sleuth.

The Digimon JRPGs and anime were much preferred by me over the much more popular monster series. But at some point due to lacking good sales, the digimon games grew to be not very good. This game is the return to form after a slew of disappointments. It is a JRPG with your favorite digimon, and the story is very much digimon.

38 and 37 are unguessed. They are Dragon Quest Heroes 1 and 2.

These JRPGs were developed at the same time that Nintendo hired Omega Force for Hyrule Warriors. They were well crafted with the mixture of Dragon Quest JRPG goodness and Warriors style combat. I platinumed each game due to how much fun I had. Dragon quest characters from the series show up and are great fun to play in a more active role. I put them together because it is like one big game with the 2nd game only adding minor changes.

36 unguessed is Strangers of Paradise.

This JRPG is Team Ninja's take on the FF world. I expected a fun game with a mediocre story. In the end I got a fun game with an interesting story. The game was quite difficult for me at first, but once I figured out how the combat works and got my classes leveled up a bit, it became a unique experience in its own right.
