"The PlayStation Network is home to many unique titles, from indie games to triple-A. It's a service that allows gamers to uncover new creative endeavors, while also being able to download some of the hottest titles. The network is also home to the PlayStation Classics, a section that is full of old treasures and sweet nostalgia, though there are still many greats yet to be acknowledged. These six selections are games that are still in demand, many cost a fortune, and/or are simply wonderful RPG comfort food. In this feature, I'm going to pitch to you all why I believe the following six RPGs deserve a place in the PlayStation Classics section of the PlayStation Network."
While Final Fantasy Tactics grabbed all the attention, Vandal Hearts is the true King of late 90s strategy RPGs.
First SRPG I ever played. I didn't think I would like it to much at first, but ended up loving it.
To this day snes and ps1 have had tge best jrpgs hands down. Great time to of been a gamer
Today Atlus presented the results of the fan survey launched back in May, and the fans want remakes of Persona 3 and the Persona 2 duology.
the only thing that i feel like hasnt aged well, is the slow battles. the rest is fine as is imo
Persona 3 is my favorite in the series. If they wanted to redo it I'd be happy. Just make it, you know, an actual remake.
You're seeing people trying to do low effort for $70 currently.
Persona 2, more so. I want to see a more serious take on this series. 2 felt less whimsical.
The PlayStation (PSX or PS1) was home to a whole load of amazing games. The system is arguably the best console for RPGs and helped revolutionize sports and shooter games. With such an influx of overwhelmingly great PS1 RPGs and other games, it’s only natural that a few would slip through the cracks.
I thought Dune 2000 was something I made up in my head. I used to ask my brothers about the sand level in Command and Conquer. The interface is like dead-on.
I’m fairly certain Parasite Eve was not underrated. The game got a greatest hits release and is pretty fondly remembered to this day.
The Quest Mode for Ehrgeiz is phenomenal. Really good looking ps1 game that benefits from modern emulation.
I find it weird Um Jammer Lammy being so unknown when I think it's much better than Parappa. It even has a secret second half which you play as Parappa himself, with rap versions of the songs.
However, while Parappa is famous and his first game even got a remaster, Um Jammer Lammy stays forgotten.
