Tengai Makyō: Ziria-Aka Far East of Eden Ziria. The last game in the once popular RPG series that sat behind DQ as one of the most popular series in Japan. A remake of II was on 360. Full 3D. Series was fantastic.
Lost Odyssey. A lot of people like to say this was the true Final Fantasy of that era. I say it was The Last Story, but maybe it's both . Either way, great game that looks fantastic even now. Good story. A combat system that even a modern game like Clair Obscur 33 can say thank you to.
Blue Dragon. Sharing the same art as Dragon Quest and Dragon Ball and a huge marketing push in Japan plus an anime. MS hoped this would be the next DQ. It was not. However, it's a great RPG. You essentially have Personas in the shape of ,you guess it, blue dragons. Each party member's Dragon offers their own skills. The game goes in some places you don't expect. Also familiar. Nobou's OST as always, is amazing.
Bite my shiny metal cockpit!
