Title: Suggest me RPGs.
Post by: Grandy on February 07, 2009, 09:10:34 PM
I has been years since I last played a good RPG, last one being Tales of Legendia. I need new ones.

Anything for DS, SNES, Wii or Playstation2.

As much as the Playstation 2 fan I am, I sadly can't really help you with this. Don't know too many RPGs.

Of course and go say the obvious and blurt out any Final Fantasy part, but that's not helpful.
The only RPGs I have besides that are LOTR: The Third Age (very similiar to Final Fantasy X in gameplay) and Shadow Hearts 3 (which I have yet to touch).

Persona 3 for the ps2 is pretty great. For the DS, try the FF4 remake, it is incredibly well done. Also i know you didnt mention HBA but if you're willing to emulate, grab a copy of the Mother 3 translation patch and a rom. (Mother 3 is the sequel to Earthbound)

YESZ.

Only, GBA and GC games wont do, because there's a severe lack of GBA games being sold here and GC would require me to spend too much money on a controller.

Twillight Princess is close enough to an RPG to count, but I already beat it.

There is an unnoficial translation of NamcoXCapcom somewhere in the net, I've seen it.

Parasite Eve is also a lot like Resident Evil (Capcom? Can't remember) so it's an instant-win.
Title: Re: Suggest me RPGs.
Post by: fruckert on February 08, 2009, 09:06:33 PM
Drakenguard reminded me of Drakan The Ancients Gate (PS2, forgot to put that up there -_-')
It's interesting, despite being really really old
Plus you get to ride around on a dragon

Just watch out with using cheats
I ended up getting a house floating in the air

Stores around here don't sell many PS1 games, either, but I believe I can play Lunar the same way I'm re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-playin' Suikoden II: witht he magic of ePSXe.

I've played all Breath of Fires, but only finished 4, and even so only the bad ending because it was way easier to get.

Gameplay wise, The Third Age. Looks almost exactly the same.

But still, Seymour, I still prefer him above Sephiroth any day.

The only people that didn't make me want to destroy the world was Auron wakka Lu and Rikuu Tidus.......not so much but I hated listening to him cry over random things Also was there a point to FFX-2? sure you get to play as Paine but really? the only Final Fantasy games that I think deserve a sequel is FF7 which they did have at least 2 sure i like FF7 but I'm not a crazy diehard fan of it saying things like Oh Cloud should have been in Super Smash Bros Brawl and things like that. is anybody still reading this random rant?
Title: Re: Suggest me RPGs.
Post by: Djanki on February 09, 2009, 01:15:48 AM
Okay, RPGs for the DS? Have you tried 'Mystery Dungeon: Shiren the Wanderer'? It's great. Think 'NetHack' (not '.hack') mixed with Zelda, and you've got it. It's really good, although the whole 'lose everything when you die, even EXP' is a little hard. Luckily, there's a 'rescue' feature--if you connect to the WiFi or put up with a password, someone else with the game can 'rescue' you and save your items. If it sounds too hard, go for Izuna; it's a little easier (you'll lose your items, but not your EXP). Also, it's hilarious.

I also recommend 'Dragon Quest IV'--it's great, simply put. If you're willing to look hard, get Sega Genesis Collection for the PS2--it has Phantasy Star II, III, and IV, all of which are great RPGs.

To Red: Did you even pay attention to what he said? He said more something in the line of: "This world is suffering because of Sin. Sin destroys everything and everyone, causing pain and suffering to all survivors of this world. Thus, to end the suffering of everyone, to make no one in this world suffer again, I will become Sin to free them from their pain."

That is a whole lot different than "I want to destroy because I want to."

Learn to follow a plot because you nag.

To myownpath: No. Final Fantasy VII did not need sequels. The movie was entertaining but was a huge dissapointment. I can't say much of Crisis Core, but the Vincent Valentine game sure was a dissapointment too.
As for X-2, it was useless and shouldn't have been made either. Final Fantasy games should not have sequels because Square is obviously not good at making those.

To Rahl: Why? What was such a dissapointment about Final Fantasy X? Sure, the plot has been done before, but what hasn't now-a-days? The battle system is still one of my favourites used in the Final Fantasy series and the Sphere Grid was a nice change of the old leveling system. So, I want a detailed explanation why it sucks.

Which is a long winded way of saying THIS WORLD SUX SO I WILL SPLODE IT.

Seriously, the game is just full of this kind of pretentious nonsense. Potential for storyline is a graet advantage to RPGs as a genre, but here it's just a burden.

And just what does Seymour do all that much dat someone like Sephiroth doesn't. He wants to destroy the world for heck what. Every villian wants to destroy the world for jack ****.

So you're claiming the entire game is bad because you don't like Seymour's motives? (which you apparently still misunderstand because it's not the same as what you're saying).

That's pretty damn lame. That's like me hating the UK because I don't like your motives for not liking FFX.

"That one guy, I don't like him."

I just saw on the DS rom-downloading very legal website "Mario&Luigi RPG 3".

I'm going to suggest it to myself, as soon as it's out in english.


Also, there's this game called Jojo's Fashion Show, which I'm getting with the hopes it's in any way related to Jojo's Bizarre Adventure.

 In other semi-related news, this year I'll start a japanese course so I don't have to wait for these games to be translated no more. And also to see Pyuu to Fuku! Jaguar.

Seiken Densetsu 3 aka Secret of Mana 2. Awesome game, bring a friend over for twice the awesome.

Oh, that game...too many memories...

I remember this one time...I was playing Secret of Mana with my friend Senate over ZSNES. We just got to The Empire (more than halfway through the game), and he's still wearing his a power wrist. It has 4 defense, as opposed to the ~20 defense from the armor available to us right now, but he keeps it anyways because it has +5 STR which he is convinced is more important than any amount of defense (it's not). So while we were in the shop at The Empire, he gave up control of his character for a moment to go AFK, so I popped into his inventory and unequipped his power wrist so I could sell it and buy a Golem Ring instead. He noticed soon after he returned that his power wrist was missing, and became irate. We had to go all the way back to Potatoes to buy back his power wrist. What he didn't know is that he could buy it at the shop we just left in The Empire.

Stuff
Well no, as I said in my comment, the game was "full" of this kind of pretentious nonsense (implicit) e.g. (but not limited to) Seymours motives.

[spoiler]The characters UNIVERSALLY lacked any kind of depth, there was next to nothing behind Tidus and Yuna's "love" sideplot, the dialogue was vomit-inducing. Five minutes into the game the city is attacked by a demon whale thing. Only it's not because it's really made to protect a fake dream land of which you are a part of... and this explanation is WITHOUT the useless terminology. Every boss battle was a shameless appeal to the senses. I have no problem with elaborate characters, but when it holds no significance to what's happening it's somewhat irritating. We had giant robots and s+m fish things. The plot ranged from unintelligable to downright dumb. You wanna talk about ridiculous...[/spoiler]

And let's not forget the joys of exploring Spira. This is a map of it;
--------------

Plus, your comparison of a game to a nationality is a bit of a can of worms. You're suggesting that finding a fictional character in a fictional world dislikable is the same as disliking a real person? Is disliking a game's graphics the same as disliking what a race of people look like? Is thinking a games' story is ridiculous the same as thinking the behaviour of a nationality is ridiculous? Since when am I not allowed to dislike a game based on the faults of characters in it? I didn't realise that made me a racist.

We had giant robots and s+m fish things. The plot ranged from unintelligable to downright dumb. You wanna talk about ridiculous...

*spoilers*
1) The characters are lacking depth? Sure, Tidus is lacking some depth but that's because he doesn't know what the **** is going on. Wakka and Lulu have depth in their characters because of Chappu. Yuna has depth because of Lord Braska. Auron has the most of them all because he's been through all this already. Kimarhi, well not a lot too say here. Silent characters tend to lack depth. But even though he's a silent character, he still has his background with the Ronso and his broken horn. Rikku has enough depth too. These characters are not lacking depth in personality nor history.

2) Tidus and Yuna's sideplot wasn't that expanded, but there were hints. Small lil' hints here and there (and of course the big scene in the water). Sure, it wasn't explored to the fullest and especially after entering the Calm Lands, but it's there.

3) The dialougue is vomit-inducing? Well, the dialogue is the same as EVERY Final Fantasy I have played. (V, VI, VII, VIII, IX, X, X-2, XII) The only difference between this and the old ones are that there are voice actors. If voice actors make you vomit, then Red, please stay the hell away from every game that's going to be released.

4) Five minutes in, Zanerkand gets attacked. Why? That's explained later. It's because Jecht was able to return to this dream-land to bring his son into the real world in the hope that his son could perhaps save him from being Sin. Sounds good to me.

5) Boss battles weren't the thoughest in part X, sure. I'll give you that. But you live in the UK, you got the European version. You have Dark Aeons, a fucken hard Ultima and Omega Weapon and of course, the strongest boss in the game for beating all Dark Aeons. Go try beating those extra bosses. Now that needs a lot of strategy.

6)"I have no problem with elaborate characters, but when it holds no significance to what's happening it's somewhat irritating." How can elaborating characters not hold any significance to what's happening? It's elaborating the CHARACTERS of this game you are playing. It's elaborating the CHARACTERS of the STORY. That holds significance.

7) "s+m fish things." Wait, what now?

8) The plot wasn't stupid. Like I said, the plot was the same as any Final Fantasy game. Someone wants to destroy the world, heros want to prevent it. I mean, almost EVERY RPG does this. There's always someone that wants to destory and always someone that wants to prevent that. The plot in Final Fantasy X had some nice twists, but it wasn't unintelligble nor dumb. Sure, you don't need a lot of brain power to understand it, but saying it's dumb is just going too far.

You forgot Penance, the super final boss. Arena abusing makes him easy too though. If you know how to arena abuse well, there is no challenge beyond getting the airship. Yunalesca is a hard boss though. MEGADEFF, DERP!

Don't get FF XII.

People are nagging about the lack of character in X, you obviously haven't played XII.
The villain is ****.
The quest is ****.
All characters except 2 in the entire game will fail to amuse you.
The thought to skip cutscenes will appear many times as people are always stating something very obvious in a very stupid way.
The battle system is as hard as using CPU controlled characters only. Make some gambits(CPU commands) and they can beat the final boss on their own.
Everything about FFXII is hate except the nostalgic battle against Gilgamesh.

So don't get FFXII, it's probably the worst FF ever made.
FFX-2 had a good battle system at least and a lot of different classes. The story was "Charlie's angels gone fantasy" but it's better than FFXII's "Nothing interesting happens in this game".

Prpl is completely right. I don't know why people are slashing at FFX like
angry comatose wolves. I think it's a great game with huge character diversity,
loads of strategy needed, loads of gameplay, great soundtrack and a compelling story.
I played it for weeks without stopping and lost the majority of my friends.

FFXII is like an MMORPG, but single player. When in battle, you simply have to
stand completely still until the enemy/enemies are dead. It's incredibly boring.
I appreciate the time gone into it and the lovely soundtrack, but it's a complete
chore.

To myownpath: Didn't play the Kingdom Hearts series. Also, Devil May Cry ain't an RPG, it's a real-deal beat 'em up.

To Prpl and Zuhane: I think I agree with you on this one. I haven't beaten this game and haven't even gotten far in this game, but for as far as I played, I can't remember anything memoriable about the characters. Also, playing the games feels a lot like playing World of Warcraft to be honest.

Did I mention the Phantasy Star games yet? Save for Universe, they're all great RPGs that merit a look. Sure, III tanked, but IV makes up for it.

Also, I remember someone saying the .hack// series on the PS2, I second that. The funest offline MMORPG out there.

About FFX, I didn't expect myself to like it by the end. The beginning was slow and strange and Tidus was a total whiny bitch. I almost quickly wrote it off as a game where graphics took over gameplay and fun.

But, somewhere around the middle, it began to grow on me. The game designers did a lot of good things to make Spira seem like a coherent, well-planned feasable world. So many RPGs have kingdoms sitting next to eachother that have been around for a 1000 years but are completely different cultures, but FFX avoided that trap. There was a lot of evidence that Spira was a world where people moved around and shared ideas, be it from the intermixing of the races, the Blitzball games, and the constant Sin attacks.

Regarding Seymour, he was just a bitter undead. He wasn't even the real villain. I personally liked all the hypocritical stuff he did. Same with the Yevon church banning machines but having a whole standing army of them from the time they destroyed Zanarkand until the present. That was pretty cool.

The love story was sorta weird, but I give them credit for going as far with it as they did. A lot of so-called RPG love stories involve two people that can't even look eachother in the eye, much less have a (very odd) make out session in some forest pool.

Now, the game had its problems, no doubt. A lot of the characters (Wakka, Rikku) were deeply annoying and never shut up. The point-and-click airship was disapointing. The ultimate weapon upgrade quests were pain incarnate. The ending was wildly unsatisfying. But overall, by the time was over, I had liked more than I disliked. Spira was a pretty cool place after all.

Wakka did talk to much, but I didn't mind Rikku, being the cute girl she is =P.

Also, the point-and-click-airship isn't as fun as flying around on a world map, but it was something new. I still prefer flying around the world map though.

The ultimate weapons are a pain to get, a serious pain. Especially Lulu and Wakka *shakes fists*.

The ending wasn't what you hoped to be. *SPOILER* Nope, no happy ending for this game. Auron is dead and "fades away" (*sniff*, my favourite character) and Tidus just... dissapears from existence. But the ending still had a special touch for me somewhere. Maybe it's just that, when I first beat it, I was kind of sick of the happy endings. Most games of that time only had happy endings and a change was nice. But damn, too many games nowadays have a crap unhappy ending. *cough*FEAR*cough*DeadSpace*cough*

*SPOILER END*

Unhappy endings? Try searching youtube for "Chrono Trigger Day of Lavos Ending"

THAT actually gave people nightmares when it was first released. That would make it the grandaddy of unhappy endings.

Yeah, but I'm not so sure how you can compare LOLDEEP endings like Dead Space's with "Nice job breaking it, Hero" endings like Day of Lavos".

Chrono Trigger DS.

If you don't play it, you're a communist, a jihadist, and an anarchist.

And I DARE you to say anything bad about the plot. I will come to your house and stab you.

I played it. Nothing wrong with the plot, but the new dungeons made the game way too easy.

Yeah, too true.

Of course, once oyu beat the original at least twice, there no longer WAS a challenge.

(btw my party had max STR, SPD, M.DEF, and DEF by lvl 40.....)
