HEX: It's a huge game. A play through of the story will take about 40 hours, and a full completion with all of the side quests will take over 100, but the story isn't interesting enough to keep my attention for that long. I like the battles, but it's just too much micromanagement for me.
BAJO: The story is definitely dry, but I think if you invest the many hours the game demands, it'll win you over. I agree about the relentless micromanagement between battles, but the battles themselves are great... I don't think this will appeal to anyone who's never played a game like this before, but for fans of the genre and of the old classic, it's very rewarding.
When it comes to the best PlayStation 1 RPGs, we’ve all heard Final Fantasy this, Chrono Chross that. Two problems that emerge when a steady stream of blockbusters are released on a system is is that some of the very good RPGs are crowded out and some games are less great in the eyes of players who experienced the best games on the system.
Some cool games right there.. I will add threads of fate it was an excellent action RPG
That's a good list, I would add Koudelka, such a great Horror Jrpg and the precursor to the shadow hearts games
Agreed. I'd love another Matsuno directed Square-Enix game especially if it took place in Ivalice.
If they made a Parasite Eve set in NYC that was kinda open world-ish, I'd play every second of it
They need to stop waisting money on their yearly bombs(quiet man, left alive,balan wonderland) and just remake the first Parasite Eve. Just use the FF7R gameplay(pretty much the next generation PE combat if you think about it) and engine and you're good to go.
From Xfire: "There seems to be some sort of JRPG renaissance going on these past few years.
In addition to new entries of long-running franchises being released on multiple platforms and new IPs being introduced, some classic JRPG games are getting the love that they rightfully deserve in the form of a remake.
Case in point, Legend of Mana, and of course, who can forget the Final Fantasy 7 Remake?
But while there's a growing number of classic JRPG titles that are being remade for modern audiences, there are still far more that aren't getting enough attention and are in desperate need of a modern remake in 2021 and beyond."
Wild Arms, Xenogears, Xenosaga trilogy, Arc the Lad, Alundra, Golden Axe Warrior, FF Crisis Core, Ar Tonelico, Rouge Galaxy.
First I would like to have the originals easily available again. Than the remakes, that way it's assured that the classic version is still "gettable" in case de remake sucks or take unwanted liberties.
Xfire writes: "Announced at the latest Nintendo Direct, Project Triangle Strategy (a working title), is a tactical role-playing "2D HD game" described as something that is "full of choices and consequences" and that looks a lot like their vastly underrated modern JRPG, Octopath Traveller.
But while the upcoming title is visually similar to something from 2018, it actually has far more similarities with titles released way back in the past. Coincidentally, some of these titles, Square Enix ended up either developing or publishing themselves.
With that said, we've decided to round up some of the best games likes Project Triangle Strategy that you can play today."
Hex marked it down for being 'too complex'. Fail.
Lol fail review. This game is amazing.
one of my favorite games from so long ago, & still one of my favorites. i hope ngp is compatible with downloaded psp games!
I can't assign a number to this game, but I can say that it is superb.
This is the 2nd botched review I've seen these guys give, 1st being Yakuza 4.
