your best 10 rpgs no one played topic

[8th lutz]

I am doing this since gamefaqs one is laughable. That pathetic one is at http://www.gamefaqs.com/features/top10/294.html. I did expect it though.

 

This one is for the rpgs that weren't played that in the area in the world you lived in. In the time the games where release or not adveristed well.

 

Here is mine.

Dragon warrior 3-nes

Dragon Warrior 4-nes

Luffia 1

Record of Lodoss war-dreamcast

Legend of Legaia-ps 1

Destiny of an Emperor-nes

Luffia 2

most of y's series.

Suikoden

Golvellius: Valley of Doom

Dragon Knight I - III

*though #3 did come out for PC

in America retitled "Knights of Xentar"

 

Lagrange Point

---(Famicom)

I can't believe they put Quest 64 on there. That game is so tediously linear. It's just one long winding road to the end. It had potential, but there were so many things that sucked about that game that made it almost unbearable for any length of time.

NES:

Crystalis

 

SNES:

Twisted Tale of Spike Mcfang

EVO: The Search for Eden

 

Genesis:

Crusader of Centy

 

Playstation:

Valryrie Profile

 

Good choice with Destiny of an Emperor. It actually got a sequel that was only released in Japan.

 

I would add AD&D: Dragons of Flame as an honorable mention. It's not a great game but seeing as it's the sequel to Heroes of the Lance it probably deserves a "most improved" award.

the best RPG you've never played or heard of is The Magic of Shaherazade for NES, the name may be spelled wrong. Its like a cross between Zelda and Final Fantasy. You fight enemies on screen like Zelda, but then every once in a while you get a random battle like Final Fantasy. There are many characters to have in your party and you can combo attack with different characters. Very good game.

It was hard for me to put it on, I don't have the game. The game had a low production. I did know it was a grat game by its reviews. It is on my brother's list of games to get for the saturn. I think some topics like this may need more then 10.

It isn't really very good.

 

If it were made by anyone other than Sega, and was just slightly more common, no one would ever bring it up. It would be about as well regarded as forgotten titles like Beyond the Beyond.

I really enjoyed PDS. I thought it had fantastic atmosphere and a great combat system. I agree that its rarity (and probably being by Sega) overhypes the game, but it's still excellent and should be on the list (or at least get an 'honorable mention).

isnt good?!

 

other than legnth, i cant find any fault with the game. the combat system is one of the best ive ever played, and the music and graphic styles from the PD series (outstanding stuff) were adapated as well as one could expect to RPG.

 

the topic is 10 best nobody played, and due to this being a late saturn game... nobody played it.

Gargoyles Quest for GB.

It irks me when these lists lump Zelda games in with RPGs. It's like they've never played them. There's no Experience, no levelling, no customisation of any kind other than your name. Plus it's all action.

Is it just because you need to read a lot? Stupid.

The Magic Of Shaharrazad for the NES Nitendo

yep it doesn't belong in that genre. The only zelda game I played that had leveling up it Zelda 2 for the nes. I don't think it money though. Some games are true action rpgs. The have levling up and moneying. I consider spick mcfang to be one, Crystalis to be one also, and exile is one. Most of the games in the so-called action rpg genre don't belong there. There have money but no leveling up, or no money and leveling up, and neither. The last action rpg release was y's 6.

 

Besides that with zelda, I read that one the games on that list on gamefaqs is point and click.
