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.

snes has stuff like chrono trigger and earthbound, so it's a hard battle for others

PS2 was no slouch either, although it's like, half Atlus games. Nocturne, Digital Devil Saga, Persona 3 & 4, etc... but there was also Dragon Quest 8, Shadow Hearts, Arc The Lad: Twilight of the Spirits, Suikoden 3 & 5 (gently caress S4), and some other poo poo I'm not thinking of right now. It also had some bad Final Fantasy games that sucked. Still it's probably PC just by virtue of having way more RPGs than any console. All the gold box games, Baldur's Gate, Torment, Fallout, Elder Scrolls, Dragon Age, Ultima, Wizardry (lol) and... just a fuckton of poo poo.

i had a friend who swore that phantasy star made the genesis the superior rpg content provider but i never played it and the screenshots i saw seemed lame so idk also seventh saga was a cool snes rpg.

if ports are fine the ps2 had all the snes ports of final fantasies and stuff through backwards compatibility, all the great ps1 stuff, and then the huge ps2 library

I love that game. it's pretty ugly because of the half-assed anime style but ican cope with that

i have baroque for wii but it seems totally impenetrable

storywise, yeah, get used to that. youre supposed to be wildly confused at the beginning and it makes more sense as you go along but its never going to come into full focus, you have to extrapolate a little gameplaywise its not terribly impenetrable but may well not be your thing and thats ok

But Rocks Hurt Head posted:i have baroque for wii but it seems totally impenetrable just keep trying the dungeon and talking to people in the town, you'll probably figure out how to "proceed". we should have "let's play" threads, where by that i mean everyone in the thread plays the game, and also posts about it.

i'm def gonna give baroque a try again someday, but it's like 4th on my list of wii rpgs to finish. actually the wii is a really odd system for jrpgs - oopona, the rainfall games, little kings story and muramasa (kinda), arc rise fantasia, chocobo dungeon, tales of symphonia 2 (ugggggh) and that's really it. some stellar games but not many total.

Think I'm going to have to go with Ps2. It's a shame the ps3 sucked for exclusive RPGs since it was mostly terrible moe anime garbage as far as the eye can see.

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.

Shiren the wanderer sounds like a cool game. Is there a fan translation?

probably, but theres a ds port so just play that

don't forget the snes had tactics ogre and it didn't get ported to PSX for a while

the company that makes Shiren got a huge hardon for that style of game and cranked out a ton of them and they all own pokemon mystery dungeon is one series but those are hella easy unfortunately
