    Decided to break out the PSX and play RPG's

    Im in the mood for rpg's and with the story based rpg taking a turn for the worst in recent times i decided it was time for the PSone to come out of the closet. With this in mind i thought a thread dedicated to providing people(i.e ME) with rpg's worth playing unlike the endless stream of of generic MMORPG's that are taking over the world

    Heres the games i currently have

    Chrono Cross
    Legend of Dragoon
    Suikoden 1 - 2
    Vagrant Story
    Wild Arms 1 - 2
    Xenogears
    And the Final Fantasy series

    Unfortunatley ive played them all to death and while i can play many of them over and over again i feel like something i havn't already played is much needed

    Is it just me or is anyone else fed up with the endless stream MMORPG's. I don't hate them i just find them all to be the same but with differant fees. I need games that actually have some form of goal and not just pointless leveling, mind numbing quests and anoying pricks who think LEETspeak is cool

    How much do i suck with photoshop?

    Final Fantasy Tactics. If that's not one of the PSX RPG's you have then you had best get on your horse and go find it. It is one of the best FF's out there.

    I'd also recommend the Lunar series. Pretty crappy graphics and can be sorta "Meh" at times, but I enjoyed it!

    Ever play Parasite Eve? Sorta like Resident Evil meets RPG. Pretty darn fun.

    SaGa Frontier series never did it for me, but some of my friends really loved it.

    Then you also have Tactics Ogre and the Tales of Destiny series.

    Humans are different from animals. We must die for a reason. Now is the time for us to regulate ourselves and reclaim our dignity. The one who holds endless potential and displays his strength and kindness to the world. Only mankind has God, a power that allows us to go above and beyond what we are now, a God that we call "possibility".

    Decided to break out the PSX and play RPG's

    I recently had one of these episodes where I played the ass of all my RPGs. I think I started with Vagrant Story which is fucking awesome. If you play it on PS2 and turn on the texture enhancing thingy even the graphics get good. Then I played FF7 for the 100:th time or something and maxed everything and killed everything. Then came the true challenge, FFX, but I made it. Maxed almost everything except god damned luck and killed everything except Penance, that guy is fucking impossible if you don't max out luck. Funny thing though all my chars had their max HP around 1500-2000, you don't need more.

    I have never played a MMO so I can't answer that question.

    No, but I love the battle system in 3. It is one of the best by far.


    For all you awesome people, it's just Phoenix. The numbers are just the amount of times people misspell it.

    No, but you should sell it and buy Star Ocean 2 instead.

    All the best ones have been mentioned but i would second Valkyrie Profile. Im playing it through at the moment and it's without a doubt one of the best i've ever played.

    VP not only has an amazing battle system and story, it also has a pretty rich replayability (different endings, modes, characters, dungeons, voice collection) and most of all - GREAT characters. The atmosphere in that game is stunning. The way the music mixes with the dark theme of it (you play a valkyrie who recruits dying souls to your ranks to join you in Asgard - the land of gods in norse mythology, basically) is outstanding beyond words. Definitely one of the best games I've played.

    I can only find Star Ocean 1 [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

    EDIT: The first one looks awsome, but I wanted the Second one also

    Star Ocean 1 is indeed a good game, but SO2 is definitely the best in the series.
    You should try finding an ISO or something at a Supernova-ish site :S

    Has anyone else played "illusion of gaia" aka "illusion of time"? It's sort of similar too Zelda. It's one of my favourite snes games and it's the reason I started playing RPGs even though it's more of an adventure game.

    As for Star Ocean, I have only played the one for PS2 "till the end of time". It's is really good, especially the battle-system and the charachter development.

    lunar 2: eternal blue, the graphics aren't great compared to other game, but everything else is good. the game is good and all, but once you beat it, you won't want to play it again, just keep it as a good memory.

    I love that game. I played it a long time ago so it's very nostalgic for me. It's similar to Fullmetal Alchemist in the way that it looks very cute and innocent, but actually has the occasional really violent scene. Good game!

    Also try Soul Blazer, it's prequel. While it looks pretty dated, it's a fairly involving RPG with a similar battle system.
