PS One

[Tel Aviv]

Lunar Silver Star Story, FF7, Lunar Eternal Blue, RE 1, and RE 2 were my fav PS1 games.

I don't care what they say about you. You're an ok guy in my book.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

Final Fantasy VIII if you're in the mood for love. Its cheesy, oh you'd better believe its cheesy, but it has some great moments. The train hijacking, the assassination attempt, the epic battle between two flying... universities. It will be fondly remembered in my minds... eye, might replay it soon actually. "

Yeah, that was a good one (even though the game hardly felt like a FF).

 

I still remember that scene were you are running across the battle field during the CG scene... In the background all those people fighting... That was a good one.

Suikoden 2 if not the best console RPG ever, is at least the best for the PSOne

[Darque]

^ I still need that.

 

1,3 and 4 were easy to get when I went looking for each... but 2 is pretty elusive.

Ebay it. :-P

 

Part IV was really bad too. =(

Tactics is looking pretty nice though (newest one I believe).

 

 

@Original Poster -

 

In case you haven't picked up Chrono Cross, do it. :D

 

Started playing again, (15th playthrough) and it's one of best console RPGs around.

I've just ordered it today

[Archmonarch]

I came to gaming fairly late in the PS lifecycle, so I havent played the majority of the classics, but Id recommend Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (Arguably best Castlevania ever), the FFs, Chrono Trigger/Cross, the Lunar games, and some others I will invariably think of later.

I bought my copy used on ebay for 60 bucks US. And at the time that was a REALLY good deal. It was going for up to 120 bucks US. Yet I managed to get Suikoden 1 for 20 bucks still sealed. Its a really good game. Its long, yet well paced, with good characters and dialogue, and the villain is excellent.

[Pidesco]

If you know japanese, Tales of Phantasia is a good option.

 

Or you can wait for the translation.

 

Or you can play the original on the Super Famicon.

He is talking about the remake on PSone I think.

 

Hmm... Didn't that one hit the US?

Too bad the translators are stupid.

Yeah, I wasn't happy with the translation myself... Did the original have that much bad grammar and language?

Is it legal to use emulators and roms?

I wouldn't know. I just know that people who translate jRPGs, or, in fact, anything 'j', tend to be really stupid about it.

 

Unless they're well paid professionals. Such as the living (hopefully) god who's responsible for these translations:

 

[ShadowPaladin V1.0]

Sometimes the professionals dont do any better. Remember Dianes three lesbian mothers in Dark Dragon Resurection.

 

Although I think the 4kids One Piece takes the cake.

[Sarjahurmaaja.]

"Sometimes the professionals dont do any better."

 

While I am not nearly as well versed in this subject as you seem to be (that is to say, I just wing it as I go along), I'm fairly confident that whatever lack of quality you have experienced in commercial translations was due to use of "professionals", not professionals. That is to say, professional hacks and amateurs who work for food/the privilege of translating something 'j'.

[Joseph Bulock]

I'll second the votes for Final Fantasy Tactics and Ogre Battle, and add Silent Bomber and Bushido Blade to the list. Also, Brave Fencer Musashi was a pretty good time.

Hurray... Just be careful with the choices you make in-game.

 

On my current play through, I sorta screwed up, included someone in a battle I wasn't suppose to... Now I can't gain this person final special attack, and I can't create one of the games best trio attacks anymore.

[Oerwinde]

Also, Brave Fencer Musashi was a pretty good time.

Except for the part where it sucks.

I gotta agree... if you are going for a 3rd person adventure game, play Legend of mana (pretty rare).
