LOL!

Calm down, I was writing everything down...

Note: by series I mean titles that have 2+ games already. And that are stand alone series (per say, Final Fantasy Tactics is Final Fantasy). And note that most of them were taken from PS, so feel free to add anything I may have forgotten.

 I think I must warn you, disregard popular belief, Xenosaga and Xenogears aren't a series, at least that's what a pretty convincent games magazine published once.

Many, i say MANY people tried to convince me that Xenogears has nothing to do with Xenosaga. I saw Fei at the ending of Xenosaga ep1. Uzuki's Shionīs last name...I just canīt be convinced!

 How about I say you the creator of Xenosaga himself said it wasn't?

  Xenogears has nothing to do with Xenosaga. From the what I read, Xenosaga is what the Xenogear's creator wanted Xenogears to be when it came out. He though Xenogears wasnt good enought, so he scratched that whole idea and began on Xenosaga.

 so, YES, it has the same characters, but NO, it isn't a serie.

Title:
Post by: blackskullwarlock on December 21, 2005, 03:57:43 PM
Lufia is on Super Nintendo (Fortress of Doom and Rise of the Sinistrals), on Gameboy Color(The Legend Returns), on Gameboy Advance(The Ruins of Lore) and there was another released on Gameboy Color that got canceled(Ruins Chaser).

I suggest trying Rise of the Sinistrals first because the Fortress of Doom takes place AFTER even tho the game came out BEFORE lol

LOL...

Maybe heīs lying Grandy...maybe itīs a conspiracy! J/k man...it he said it, he said it. Plus, Xenosaga is at Ep.3 already, so we can leave xenogears behind (even though I could vote it for best game ever...).

My Sarcasmoter broke thanks to you  :s

They're a great game series, only released in Japan though, there is a rom translation though, Aeon Genesis done it.

I voted for SoM, I like the battle system.

Also Der Langriser, Soul Blazer series and Ys aren't there.

[EDIT]

You also forgot Super Hydlide.

KH is not yet a series...KH2 isnīt even out yet. I donpīt like it anyway...Zelda sucks too.

SO3 broke the series...SO2 was great, and I heard SO was great too...

Final Fantasy is awesome, marvelous, but still I donīt get the same excitement that I get with Suikoden (xcept suikoden 4, that blew...).

Suikoden 5 is coming, and Rhapsodia ruled all...
Title:
Post by: Kijuki_Magazaki on December 21, 2005, 06:24:01 PM
final fantasy does not have the same characters and is a different storyline every time, and its a serie. Theremust, xeno gears (tho i kinda disliked it) is indeed inseriesized with xenosaga. poofy

Post by: MrMister on December 21, 2005, 06:27:27 PM
Loved Magic Pengel, and to a lesser extent, Graffitti Kingdom.
I put Front Mission, it was close between SoM, Suikoden and FM.
There was this horrible difficulty spike in Front Mission 4, and I couldn't get past that mission no matter how much I trained..

Dragon Warrior. The original one on the NES was the first RPG that I've ever played, and I loved it! I had fun with a couple of the other NES ones as well. I'll probably get DQ8 for Christmas.

And, DW7 is one of the best games ever.

Kingdom Hearts is a series, well a short one.

 :badboy:  You are not alone. I love Baldur's Gate; I know everything there is to know about Baldur's Gate, Tales of the Sword Coast, Shadows of Amn and Throne of Baal. Baldur's Gate is second to Lufia for me tho.

Wild Arms is like, really good. I didn't see it.
If I had, I would have voted for it  :|

I think Suikoden 4 rocked.
PIRATES, man.
Pirates pwn... bear people.
And it makes you look stupid when you refer to a game that you are playing, IN ENGLISH, by it's Japanese title.

I picked Star Ocean, even though SO2 was the only one I really got to play. I loved it so much though I would probably enjoy the other two. And Blue Sphere... which they should have released in English!

Not to mention the OSTs! Theyīre the best...did you play Digital Devil Saga? The most perfect metaphor of the purgatory!

I don't know why, but i just when I think Zelda just can't get any better, it does. And it's one of the few series of games that can get away with recycling music, story, and lots of cliches, yet it's still great. And as for FF, it died when they released 8. 9 tried to bring it back, but it just wasn't enough to revive the series. I hope to god that 12 is good. Maybe they should just start over by making something with the tactics games. Those are still fun, fresh, and new for FF. Most of the others, I've never heard of/played because I'm more of a FPS guy. But I try to keep it varied. Anywho, Zelda rules. Check the polls and try to tell me I'm wrong. Without fixing the votes.

Not just that, you should play Suikoden Tactics (Rhapsodia)right away! I have JUST finished it, adn the ending is worth playing 2 times. Iīts been a while since Iīve played a good strategy RPG, since Front Mission 4.

Persona 1 ruled all, but Iīm not really sure itīs from Megaten (the art is the same). DDS is really worth playing DF, donīt miss it. The souindtrack is the best ever.

Does anyone know all Megatenīs games + plataform? Iīd like to play all of them...

Yes, look at dark cloud 2. That's a great game that was ruined because dark cloud 1 sucked and nobody bothered to even look a #2... except for me.

Look at dragon Warriors, that's very popular (as it just came out with it's 8th game) and very few people seem to like that because of it's cheap battle systems.

My fav is Chrono Trigger (chrono series) by far. Best music, best plot, best overall characters, and damn cool techs.

Shadow Hearts is missing too...Itīs not that notorious yet, but I can firmly affirm that the already released titles rule...

EDIT: Thereīs really something about Suikoden that I love...as the titles are released, and a new hero gathers 108 stars under his command, the games start interacting and showing relationship with the others. Nowadays one os my favourite sites is www.suikosource.com, in which they have images and the complete story of all the characters, and the relations they have with other characters...As the "web" is formed, everything starts making sense, and the whole series makes you think that there is life behind all that, that the story really moved on for those characters. Those who fought together in a war, those who knew each other because of the war and, after it, sticked with their partners and so on...

No game has that feeling...when they end, the characters fade away. Suikoden makes me keep playing because I know I might see those guys again (like when Ted appeared in S4!).

First of all, I mean no flame to you or anyone that agrees with what you said, but itīs really, really dumb to say that FF was killed because 1 game sucked (and it didnīt imo...). Weīre around Final Fantasy 12, c'mon! You have 11 against 1 and the whole series is thrown in the garbage? First you play 'em all, then you say something like this.

Same would be if I stated that Breath of Fire sucks cuase of Dragon Quarters (saved by the battle system...and thatīs it.)

Okay, popular things don't have to be good. Sometimes they don't have a reason for being popular. Like Ashlee Simpson.. or.. Jessica Simpson.

I think Dark Cloud 2 ruled, and it was long, but it got unbelievable repetetive. After half way through the game it got a LITTLE more interesting, but not by much. The bosses got less creative through out, too.

The newest Dragon Quest had ugly *** characters. You can tell from one glance they were done by that cock jockey Akira Toriyama.

Somebody's not a dbz fan... lol

i didn't pick a title as the best BTW

I want to play the tales series. I've seen it played though. it looks easy.
I've only played Dragon Warrior III & IV are those the same as Dragon Quest? I like those, but if you wandered off at the beginning you can get super strong really fast without trying.

Suikoden... Just what Almiedaboo said.

FF is cool, overrated, but still better than most.

I tried Xenosaga, got bored.

I like Breath of Fire don't know of the Dragon's whatever it was.

I know I'm forgetting some... oh well

Persona is Megaten. I've played:

Digital Devil: Megami Tensei 1 and 2 (NES)

Last Bible (GBC)

Devil Children: Black Book, Red Book, and White Book (GBC)

DC Red and Black (PSX)

Persona 1 and Persona 2 (PSX), in Persona 2 there is that guy with the bag over his face much like your old avatar, even had a painted on psychotic grin.

Shin Megami Tensei - 1, 2, and IF... (SNES and GBA for 1 and 2)

Kyuuyaku Megami Tensei (original 1 and 2 remake for SNES)

Last Bible 3 (SNES)

As well as the several remakes for systems such as PSX and Sega CD. Not yet played Soul Hackers.

My favorite demons are: Nekomata, Werecat, Senko and I think Thor. Maybe Odin too.

As for the Devil Children series it is: Succubus, those two foxes, Cool (he rules!), and Catclaw

NO! That's a bad DarkFlood2! Diablo is a small mmorpg (is that even possible?), and is totally not a series, and if it is it barly counts, because there's no difference plot wise and etc between 1, 2, and LOD.

FF7 Sucked, end of story.

I'm confused. I always thought of Zelda as being action/adventure. How's it an RPG?

And I voted for Final Fantasy. Arc the lad almost got my vote because the first three games were so great, but as the PS2 sequals began to come out the series just kinda rolled up into a ball and got all crappy.

Can anyone suggest some good tactical rpgs? Like FFT or Front Mission? Except don't mention any PS2 games unless they are godly because I don't have a PS2 atmy house, and I don't want to have to go to my dad's house or DarkFlood's house just to play it. Any other major system, please suggest it. I REALLY need some new rpgs that are fun, and I prefer tactics-styled ones. And, just so you know, as of now, I have FFT, FFTA, and the GBA Ogre Tactics game, just to wipe that from the list right off.

Tactics Ogre for PSX is much better than Knight of Lodis.
It doesn't have emblems, but it's longer and better.

As well as the several remakes for systems such as PSX and Sega CD. Not yet played Soul Hackers.

My favorite demons are: Nekomata, Werecat, Senko and I think Thor. Maybe Odin too.

As for the Devil Children series it is: Succubus, those two foxes, Cool (he rules!), and Catclaw


You are -really- into the Megaten games huh...


Heck yeah. Also I watched the Megami Tensei OAV yesterday. Didn't understand much of it though. :| Loki sucks... got his butt handed to him by a girl then a teen who is the guy who started it all. O.o...

I voted the Final Fantasy series, due to FF1-5 and Final Fantasy 8-9. The rest of that series has nothing to do with my taste for it, and I also like to play a good Zelda game now and then. Actually I should have voted both if only it were possible. Breath of Fire series could also get close, as well as the Mana series.

I lub the Tales series. Tales of Destiny 2 is a really good (rare overpriced) game. The game has a nice nice nice nice battle system. It's not a turn table system though but the battles still own.
The game also has a lot of short mini games. That are fun, most of them can only be played once  though. The voice overs are decent......for it's time.. *cough* You can get it off ebay for around 60 bucks and if you want it factory sealed it's gonna cost you about 120 bucks lol

Post by: RPG LORD on December 30, 2005, 06:58:04 PM
Since some of you are asking for explanation, I'll tell you my opinion about FFs I-XI.


Final Fantasy I was a fun game to play, with comforting musical themes in it, and a pleasant gameplay, which hooked me for quite a while.

Final Fantasy II was more than a fun game to play; it was fantastic in both story and music (Pandemonium!!!), and was the one game that kept me hooked till the end of it, also seeing as it introduced [SHADOW]dragoons[/SHADOW], chocobos, malboros, eyemoebas and those other classic enemies to the series. To me it is the ultimate Final Fantasy, and does not deserve to be underrated.

Final Fantasy III is a game I still need to play properly, but what I already played of it was very fun.

Final Fantasy IV was actually the first FF I ever finished, and so it truly deserves my praise. It was great in story, though the American version was poorly translated, which I lately noticed while playing a retranslation. (Goblin=Imp Imp=Imp? That gives two Imps??)

Final Fantasy V is another excellent game I currently am playing, and actually has good humour for once. I hardly know what I'm going to face in the second world, so I'll just leave that subject alone for a while.

Well, I don't like 6 alot since it's very dark, unlike the previous FFs which were bright and colourful. Also, I didn't intensely like some of the musical pieces, like the main battle theme of it, which I found intensely annoying, putting me under pressure while fighting. If it weren't so dark and annoying, I would more like to play it. Why is this still being called Final Fantasy III though? Final Fantasy III is such a noble game compared to this, and does not deserve to be compared with this.

But 7?! Some say I would hate it just because of the countless FF7 fans who never even played it and praise it without a reason (even here...:badboy: ), but that is only one of the causes. Final Fantasy 7's story was going even farther out of place of the series, seeming to randomly start off at a bombing mission. But the graphics...ACK! Sometimes on a map, I couldn't easily recognize some stuff, while the battles seemed much smoother and the characters' battle sprites ironically looked better then, but then again the stupid looking sprites in FMV movies..they went to 3D a bit too fast? But the music, apart from the mediocre tunes (Those Who Fight Further...why is this being praised?) found its way to me by the One-Winged Angel, although he wasn't truly such a villain. (But those worthless creatures are trying to steal the planet from Mother...PLEASE.) What I still don't get, though, is that Sephiroth's soul was so easy to defeat at the end just by using an Omni Slash..?
In any case, 7 is a useless thing, even compared to FF6. They could have done so much with it, but they unleashed a monster instead.

A monster that should have disappeared with Final Fantasy VIII.
But Final Fantasy VIII was just called a bad game (What for? It's a revolution for the series, not a monster..), just like Final Fantasy VII was praised for no reason, and thereafter came the underrated Final Fantasy IX, which is actually a magnificent game which I am still playing to the end. (Memoria, anyone?) Final Fantasy X however does not really appeal to me, and the possible illness that killed me could be FFX-2, because what I already saw of it...PUT IT AWAY!!... Final Fantasy XI was in my possession for a while this week, however I returned it yesterday because it asked for too much care (payment, alot of information...argh). Final Fantasy XII is to me already the death of the series, seeing as it is merely another Final Fantasy Tactics with a screwed name, like those early 90s when they called most Square games Final Fantasy in North America. (Bloody Americans. Never again insult FF3.)

Bad arguments...FF8 was a great game, although the storyline seemed a little bit confusing to me. I plan to play it again, but I still got DDS 1 to finish and DDS 2 to play. Plus, Flyff has gotten even cooler, so as soon as I can figure out why OH GOD why my computer doesnīt work, íll be back to it...

Heh, back to why I hated FF8.

It umm... sucked. Again, the lvl up system stunk because monsters lvled up with you. The drawing system sucked because it took all the use out of Magic and MP. The gun blade system was bad because it was only with squall (the pull r trigger) and didn't take bullets or nothing. Items were very expensive to make (aka the best weapons) Once you got the aura magic the game became way to easy. The way you got summons sucked, as you could easily mess up and lose them. And, it was near impossible to play it without using the strategy guide.

I didnīt think all that...

I liked that the gunblade system was only with Squall, that made him one of the coolest FF characters of all. Plus, every character had his expertise, which was really cool.

The Storyline, even being a little confusing, was really cool, cause I loved the whole Seed thing, the Gardens, etc...awesome!

Well, MP was NOT present in the game...it had no meaning really...Magic had a meaning: the more you had, more damage yyou did with magic.

I liked draw cause it was original. Pretty clever system...

I missed a lot of Summons, but that was because I was dumb...

I finished the game without a guide! It wasnīt hard at all, except for the final boss!

Finally, I didnīt know the monster leveled up with the characters...is that true?

Yes, and that plot thickener was so dumb. I never put a GF on Irvine my second play through, and the cutseen was still the same. Talk about lame.

And yes, the monsters lvled up with you Almeidaboo. They adveraged your character's lvls and that's what lvl the monsters came out at. Really pissed me off.

Oh well. I'm planning to play FF8 in full by myself, which I never did before, so that I can get to know it far beyond the demo that I still use to play from time to time, and more like the days when I still watched my brother play it. Darn that scratch on the first disc though..

That was the part of FFX that I didnīt really get (understand this: even though Iīm fluent and know a lot about english, itīs not my native language, and some things arenīt exacly easy to get)...He was a dream "made real" pecause of the dreams of those people in the walls right?

I need to play it again, to understand it better...I liked blitz ball a lot!

Lonewolf: I enjoy playing ANY RPG too, but that doesnīt mean theyīre all good, or as good as each other...some have your special attention, and thatīs what we want to know...

Blitzball is awesome, I wish it actually existed but meh.

The Faiths are sleeping and are in a dream stat. Sin is the link between those two worlds; the dream and Spira. If someone from the dream gets sucked in by Sin, he'll arrive in Spira but if Sin dies and the Faiths wake up, any dream material will disappear.

Then how would you explain the presence of Bahamut's Fayth...or that the game mentions that Sin is the link between both worlds? Yu Yevon has put the Fayths to sleep and the dream is generated as long as they sleep.

What use is there to Zanarkand, no idea except that it's in both worlds. The first summoner to defeat Sin, Yunalesca, had to do a pilgrimage to Zanarkand to earn the final Aeon and, based on the battle, it seems that Lord Zaon was her Final Aeon and that Yu Yevon kept her as the guardian of the Final Aeon. When Sin is defeated, the dream doesn't end as Yu Yevon keeps the Fayths asleep and since there is a sacrifice(The Final Aeon), Sin can be reborn.

...or something like that.

I have a bad storyline memory...

Like, I canīt remeber why, on CD2 of Xenogears, all those people got sick and Ellie took care of them...wait, thatīs not well explained:

Fei tells us that many people went mad (or sick, correct me if Iīm wrong) and Ellie was helping them. I donīt remember what caused the disease...

(Xenogears' is one of the best games ever, with a top 2 soundtrack and the most deep character ever, which is Fei)

Yes, and that plot thickener was so dumb. I never put a GF on Irvine my second play through, and the cutseen was still the same. Talk about lame.

Seriously, Meiscool, can I like get this in a bumper sticker form?


Seriously, FF8 sucked hard. The only cool thing about it were some of the GFs (though GFs I thought was a gay name) and apparently that several minute long movie when you use eden to turn earth into a weapon or something like that, I never actually saw it.

I guess having played FF7, I thought all Final Fantasies where meant to be that good (I really did enjoy that. I'm not just a ZOMG CLODU SPEHROCITH ROXORS TIFA IS BOUUUNCY!!! case) or maybe I was too young when I first played to notice all these bad things people say, but by the end of the day, FF8 disappoints.



Also, I'd like to saw FF/Zelda are even, cause I voted FF when I didn't know Zelda was there.

Yes, FF8 was gay, in my opinion. I didn't like the character, I didn't like the fact that monster leveled up with you, I didn't like the GF thing... but it has good music, like the Boss Battle.

Condiction Branch:
If Switch Razor's Sarcastic mode is On
Show Message: Bite me.
Else Handler:
Show Message: Sure...... But gimme 50% of the cut!

I think Squall is one of the coolest Characters EVER, and Gunblade one of the coolest weapons ever.

FF8 was more adult, maybe thatīs why it doesnīt make too much success among you youngsters...
