So looking forward to this.
<.< Nice thread, sadly my only experince with JPRGS currently is SNES ones... played a few of the new gen ones but they were not that great...
So my Favorites are
Seiken Densetsu 3
Front Mission
Bahamut Lagoon
Chrono Trigger
Tales of Phantasia
Star Ocean [1]
Good stuff really! The fun part is fumbling through them in Japanese ;3
lol, it's easy to do when you get reverse side and reproduction maxed, so I figured, why not? Though even without the aid of the forged medals I think I was level 65...
I felt Chrono Cross was good to great. The meat of the story was amazing. However, it didn't pull off a lot of good characters the way Suikoden did. That, and it was too much of a departure from Chrono Trigger, which to me will forever be legendary. That's not nostalgia speaking. Chrono Trigger is just one of the best games of all time. I can play that game every year and still feel this way. Chrono Cross just couldn't quite match it.
And Mshenay, you're missing out. Lots of amazing jrpgs post SNES era.
Still playing both FFIV Collection and Tales of Graces F. FFIV is definitely more of a nostalgia trip, as I'm not in love with it like I used to be. It feels too lifeless in terms of portraying the story. Hardware limitation wasn't the issue back then, as FFVI is one of the greatest games storywise, beating out pretty much every FF before and after, though I still prefer FFVII.
I wanted to like it, I just can't get into the wild swing attack mechanics. It looks odd. XD
Nameless, I forget, can that game be played with a classic controller? I just can't stand Wii's waggle controls.
