^ Part of me is envious of you right because you missed out on a lot of those PS1 RPGs. You have yet to experience games like Xenogears (WHY NOT GET THAT FIRST?!!!!!!), Grandia, FFVII, VIII, IX (if you have not played them yet), Lunar 1 & 2, etc...

So many great games for you to now experience and it makes me jealous because all I have o sift through is the borderline JRPG trash we have been getting since this gen began.

Yes I said it, JRPG's have sucked lately. Although I have yet to start Valkyria Chronicles yet and have only started The Last Remnant and must admit the battle system is sweet, I love shit like that.



iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

i'm thinking of buying Kingdom Hearts for the Ps2, does it still worth it?

*finally a nice thread, much better than Wii-attacking threads....



don't mind my username, that was more than 10 years ago, I'm a different person now, amazing how people change ^_^

See my collection for all my JRPG's. The list is quite short, but I'm just warming up.

-Btw, I do have Xenogears (not too deep in - time constraints, army service soon), and FF VII-IX, plus SNES FF rereleases. Next I want Lunar, Legend of Dragoon, Grandia, Saga Frontier, Tales of PS1 games...

 



^ Of course it is worth it. I loved both of those games.

Do you only own a Wii? If so, you will be very upset if it doesn't wind up going there.

Hell yeah!

 



@Xen

YOU ARE AWESOME!

All I needed to see what that one game, "SaGa Frontier" located within your list. Now your list is truly AAA status. One of my all time favorite games, Asellus being my favorite character. Check the avatar. FanArt yeah!!!

Meta Scores.. reviews... they don't really work with JRPG's. I saw some SaGa Frontier videos on youtube. The game clicked with me, I'll be nabbing it for sure.



SaGa frontier game is one of the best RPG's i've played for the PS1 ;) the main problem with it was that it was released almost at the same time with the titanic FFVII and reviewers got harsh in it because of it's more traditional based game play. It's like bashing a DQ game just because it mantains it's old school RPG feeling.

Also ROBOTECHHEAVEN is my new hero too :D
