Nintendo Life: Natsume is mostly known for its Harvest Moon games, but what you might not know is that there is another long-running series from the same developer - in fact, its first game predates the first Harvest Moon by 6 years. Legend of the River King is one of only four games in this series released outside Japan, and it's now been re-released on the 3DS Virtual Console. How does it fare these days?
The Game Boy RPGs that received the most attention were Pokémon, but the system had a lot of other great titles from the genre. Some of these games shared names with major series, like Final Fantasy, but others came out of nowhere and found success.
Lufia: The Legend Returns is mind blowingly good for a gb game. One of my fave rpgs ever
I saw that it was a remake and passed on it. I thought they would give it another shot at some point. Just saying, the Sinistrals would look crazy on good graphics.
I loved getting lost in the sand of Final Fantasy On game boy . I hated it too but it’s very memorable to this day .
Looking back at the role-playing experiences that traded dungeons and dragons for something kookier, and probably cooler.
One game that needs its dragon back is Final fantasy. I hope the next game goes back to the classic style. I don't usually advocate game to go back to its older self but final fantasy should revitalize itself.
Final Fantasy VI-Medieval and steampunk mix
Final Fantasy VII-Futuristic
Final Fantasy VIII-Futuristic
Final Fantasy IX-Medieval
Final Fantasy X-Futuristic
Final Fantasy XI- Medieval
Final Fantasy XII- Medieval
Final Fantasy XIII-Futuristic
Final Fantasy XIV-Medieval
Final Fantasy XV-Futuristic
The next mainline Final fantasy needs to be Medieval or mix with another like Steampunk.
I disagree. FF found its identity with the whole steampunk look around FF6/7. DragonQuest already has the medieval theme down pat, and does it better than FF could ever hope to.

"Natsume has become one of the top dogs for releasing simulation role playing games over the years, most notably being the successful Harvest Moon series. There is another series that has been in Harvest Moon‘s shadow that many gamers aren’t aware of that is wildly underrated. The River King series has been around six years longer than the more popular Harvest Moon series, originally in Japan under the name Kawa No Nushi Tsuri. Although the series has been released for practically every Nintendo console and handheld there has only been four North American releases of the series."
