Need JRPG games to play that is turn based not tactical i.e Final Fantasy Tatics. Preferbaly from the early 00's and the 90's.
The games that I have already played: FF1-6 Paladin Quest Lufia Rise of the Sinistrals and the other one that I can't remember the name (SNES) Tales of Phantasia Secret of Mana 2 (Seiken Denetsu 3) Seiken Denetsu (Seiken Denetsu 2) I am not Japanese or read any of it. Breath of Fire 1 Breath of Fire 2
Will not play FF7 FF8 FF10
Edit* NO RPGMAKER GAMES FOR THE LOVE ALL THAT IS HOLY. NO!.
My buddy really likes these titles: Tales of Symphonia Tales of Zestiria Agarest: Generations of War Zero Agarest: Generations of War Agarest: Generations of War 2
Tales series are more action based than turn based so No. Same for Agarest: Generations. No.
ps. Even though I am kinda contradicting myself with the Seiken Denetsu 2 and 3 and Tales of Phantasia. It's just that these games do not interest me in the slightest bit.
try. phantasy star (series I - IV) Star Ocean Star Ocean: The Second Story earthbound (aka mother 2) Chrono Trigger! dragon quest (series 1-7) Shining in the Darkness
Already played Chrono Trigger which how that game skipped my mind... bloody Lavos. Earthbound I have played before but the theme of being in a modern setting just irks me. I have tried it and seen reviews of Earthbound. Will check out the DQ Quests series and I have already finished DQ 6 on the DS. Thanks for the suggestions.
no problem. I also remembered some other games. Golden Sun (gba) Golden Sun:lost age(gba) Golden Sun: Dark Dawn (DS) Evolution: The World of Sacred Device (dreamcast) Evolution 2: Far Off Promise (dreamcast) a gamecube version of both games above on 1 disk called "evolution worlds" was created but it's crap. the game looks slightly better but they added some bad voice acting and cut or changed alot of stuff. Sands Of Destruction (DS) Xenosaga (PS2 / DS) ^expect long cutscenes.
I have played Golden Sun on the GBA emulator. I do not wanna experience Lufia 2 Puzzle games ever again in Golden Sun since I ragequitted at the first puzzle if I can remember in that Pyramid. That Fucking H puzzle drove me insane in the Treasure Sword Shrine until I cheated and looked up on Youtube how to solve it a few years later since I was playing on Snes9x emulator and even before then since my cousin gave me 2 discs with about 1gb worth of SNES roms.
Breath of Fire 3 is my favorite of the series, and the series in general is possibly my favorite rpg series (possibly). -Many love BoF 4, but that's honestly my least favorite (and I'm one of few that actually liked Dragon Quarter) because of the gameplay, worth a try though.
Secret of Evermore if you like the mana games Legend of Mana Mario RPG (easy game, but a lot of fun)
I'll second Chrono Cross and Saga Frontier (1 & 2, though they are both VERY different) If you pick up Legend of Dragoon, I recommend not getting it through PSN for PS3. Latency is introduced and it's very annoying for doing the timed hits combos in the battle system. That annoyance makes kinda a big difference combined with the poor dialogue (I hear due to a poor translation).
Secret of Evermore - I lost the save files to that game, may go at it again at some point Legend of Mana - Will definitely play at some point Mario RPG - Played one of their DS versions of the game as you said extremely fun and simple. Will play at some point
I ended up bootlegging Legend of the Dragoon for the PC via emulator (i'm sorry) and played a bit of it and all I got to say if there weren't technical issues with my xbox 360 wireless controller timing out and shutting down which causes me to restart the emulator, loosing a lot of progress since I don't know how Save states work in the emulator. I would be playing this game right now instead of typing because its a freaking good game. (Hitting the controller also causes disconnect.)
