Estil | 1,261 Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 (edited) Oh cool, I didn't realize there was an RPG thread! Like I said in another topic I've finally gotten around to giving my PS3/PS4 some love and I'm currently working on Final Fantasy X on PS3 and Final Fantasy 12 on PS4...and yes a few years ago I did both on their original PS2 versions of course. Hopefully I can soon get the PS3 versions of Kingdom Hearts 1 & 2...and YES those too I also had already done the original PS2 versions. I think that will help me better appreciate the changes/differences between the originals and these remakes. And I do in fact enjoy collecting the trophies (I doubt I'll ever score a platinum though) and I hope there's one for (hee hee) getting all the puff puffs in Dragon Quest 11 Isn't there one chick that gives you a fake puff puff (uses a couple of Slimes instead of her, eh, you know...*wink wink*)? EDIT: There IS in fact a bronze trophy you get for getting puff puffs from all the chicks Edited February 29, 2020 by Estil 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ausden | 323 Posted February 25, 2020 Author Share Posted February 25, 2020 I purchased a portion of the Kingdom Hearts series, but have yet still to play. The backlog is seriously heavy. Min regards to PS3 RPGs; I have 3D Dot Heroes calling my name. That one will be next in line to play. Anyone recommend a few RPGs on the PS3?

ErickRPG | 42 Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 My Dad and I played Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance together years ago. I bought both Champions Return to Arms and Dark Alliance 2 and playing Champions now. It IS addictive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reed Rothchild | 9,510 Editorials Team · Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 If you like the BGDA and Champions game, Fallout Brotherhood of Steel is another game in the exact same vein. It got pretty trashed, but I thought it was alright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErickRPG | 42 Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Don't like Champions Return to Arms after level 11 or so, as much as I wanted to. So I'm switching to Dark Alliance 2. It feels much better Overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanooki | 4,930 Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 I'm not sure some would consider it fair to count it in an RPG section but that released yesterday Dragon Quest to the Stars game for mobile is a pretty standard Dragon Quest game with some basic gatcha like option added in. The game can be entirely freely played without being hammered (so far into Ch2 of it at least.) It's still turn based, still have to get all sorts of weapons/armors, pick a class to develop into or overlap between, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I do have a big backlog of amazing RPGs all the way from snes to Switch so probably never, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't imagine a little phone game could be anywhere near as big and epic as a real RPG on a real system. And what good would it do to get attached to the game that will just disappear in a few years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErickRPG | 42 Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 (edited) I started playing 7th saga on my Super NT. Damn do I love those high res pixels and scanlines. And I think I'm going to start Xenogears on my PSP even though I do have the disc and PSOne LCD. Xenosaga is the type of game I might appreciate the SLEEP MODE of the PSP!

Multiple Final Fantasy games up through #9 and Dragon Quest 1-8 are on iOS and Android and run excellent, as is Chrono Trigger and Secret of Mana from Square Enix alone. Might want to do a little digging before condemning and I'm only pointing out console/ds ports too, there's far more. Sure a lot of crap to sift through but there are some notables.

Lambda | 130 Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 My favorites: Chrono Trigger: (beat it earlier last year and was super stoked) Shining Force: (Played this with my dad as a kid and the memories are what makes this game special for me) Links Awakening: (Probably my all time favorite Zelda game, since it’s the one I probably dedicated the most time to as a kid) LoZ: (I JUST beat this game last month... after 23 years since my first sit down with it as a kid!) *** this next one is the one I consider to be the bane of my existence. It’s one of the few games I actually owned as a kid and never beat... that fact still haunts me to this day... I have the game buried somewhere in my dads attic and I’m now inspired to find it and beat the hell out of it after writing this post*** Elemental Gimmick Gear (EGG) for Dreamcast!

Estil | 1,261 Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 For Links Awakening, did you do the b/w or color version? The color version was my first Game Boy game ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet they pull shenanigans though like making you pay for save spaces in Tales of Phantasia that the original game already included. Not to mention the lack of real buttons.

Tanooki | 4,930 Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 Actually no they're either direct SNES/DS ports or they took the old games and just redid the graphics to a more mobile modern style 2D visuals which seem to work. They just have you pay once for the game, you get it all, no tricks. The time they did that with FF was the FF4 After Years stuff which ticked off plenty, so then they just released the whole game on mobile and PSP format for a flat price. And yeah if you're not using a bluetooth device, it's touch, but they're made for buttons still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aguy | 771 Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 From the makers of The Messenger. It's basically already been funded after 24 hours. Estimated digital release is 2022, no physical version mentioned. They know how to make a game, realistic release date, video and concept art on the Kickstarter, no stretch goals or random physical goodies to distract developers. Go support it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fox | 1,665 Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Final Fantasy games on sale now on the eshop Picked up 7 and 9. I don't think I have time to play thru the full game before the remake comes out, but I was at least thinking of running thru the Midgaurd section of FF7 (which is like the first 6-8 hours) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
