You just can't beat the PlayStation when it comes to amazing RPGs. Some of my favorites of all time, including, Wild Arms - Alundra - Legend of Legaia - Xenogears - Vagrant Story - Suikoden and many many more are on the PS1. There was a great mix of ARPGs, JRPGs, WRPGs, sidescrolling and isometric games with 'rpg lite' elements. gently caress FF7, though.

PS2 is hard to deny if you count backwards compatibility.

Dreamcast, if it had lasted longer, would have gotten a lot more american releases of sweet jap RPGs. Oh well.

Excuse me while I go play record of lodoss war.

I've never played Vagrant Story but I remember a lot of people saying it's really good, does it still hold up?

You know I haven't played it in years. Most of the PS RPGs hold up pretty well. Except for Wild Arms where the remake is a lot better because the 3d models during fighting were pretty loving bad.

Hard to beat this list...

Suikoden
Wild Arms

Well I have a friend who has enough games to open a gaming museum so it's time to knock him out steal his poo poo.

Panzer Dragoon? Thanks! Radiant Silvergun? Sure thing! Sealed Earthbound with stickers and poo poo? Eh, you can keep that one.

I'm going to have to take a trip to Japan, it's probably less in airfare than buying american released games.

Just snip two tabs from your American SNES and you can play Japanese games on American SNES.

Game genie method doesn't really work I tried, games always had issues, so I had to cut the tabs. SFC is a nice looking system but the money is better spent buying more games.

I am strangely OCD about playing games on the original hardware, but I can easily snip two suckers if I can actually get my SNES working. I know a shop down the street that has an SF, so we'll see how it goes.

Hopefully all I need is a new pin strip.

Down with emulation unless it lets me play coop games over the internet with people I can't see in person!

Hmmm I don't read japanese, but I can get through these text heavy RPGs by following these english guides that tell me when to press A. Sounds like fun.

I have this jap import of a mech game called Framegride, for Dreamcast. It's from the makers of Armored Core. Sort of their take on Virtual On. There is a series of questions in the beginning, about 10 of them. All in japanese and all determining what kind of poo poo you get to start. After that, it was fun trying to reverse engineer the game to figure out what the gently caress was going on.

Isn't the N64 total games list pretty small in general?

Is it even possible to keep the formula fresh? We've already seen games that are basically FMVs with occasional button pressing. There's a reason some 20 year old games haven't aged one bit.

I also have a problem where I feel like sprites have a lot more character. I'm not a graphics snob because I see the loving world in 3D. I just want a game that has a great art direction and is unique. It doesn't need to be photo-realistic. The story should immerse you.
