That was one of the many snes games I got acquainted with on emulator that I was lucky enough to play when I was younger. It was one of my favorites, but I didn't get to beat it. I had to wipe my drive clean due to a virus I couldn't get rid of.
Since all the worthy PSX rpgs I can think of have already been mentioned, if you don't mind action rpgs of the legend of zelda type, then I recommend alundra. Good story, great puzzles, difficult gameplay.
If anyone would be so nice as to PM me a couple of ps2 rpgs that are similar to final fantasy, but not tactics style, tactics BLEW. I would greatly appreciate it. give me a run down on the story line without spoiling it and a general overview of the games. Thanks in advance.
OMG - Valkyrie Profile 2?

I'm a huge fan of the redone Lunar series rpg's, but Lunar 2: Eternal Blue was a huge disappointment for me.
Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete version blows it out of the water completely. Better story, more enjoyable characters, a legitimate ending that's actually achievable, and the bosses are challenging (back when their level was still based off yours) without being impossible (snow monster of Lunar 2 without leveling up for 8 hours).
My other suggestion is another 16bit remake. Final Fantasy Chronicles for my absolute favorite rpg of all time: CHRONO TRIGGER. That's all that needs to be said about that one.
Legend of Legaia was a kinda weird one too. I liked it though, but I never got around to finishing it. I got up to the last boss and kinda got bored (or more likely found another rpg). The combat system was incredibly innovative at the time. You made pre-set combos with the d-pad and created unique moves to destroy the enemies. It's fun just trying to find all the combos.
Yes, it's been confirmed and will be out in 2006. I am however a bit concerned...Quote:

Some sources are claiming that it will come to PSP ( which I really have no desire to get ) and not PS2. I REALLY hope this is not the case as the original is with ease one of the best RPG's I've ever experienced.
Man, I'll easily buy a PSP for a VP sequel. Even though I hardly know what a PSP is [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]
XENOGEARS = BEST GAME EVER MADE

tri-Ace is apparently working on a prequel to the 1999 PlayStation classic Valkyrie Profile. The PlayStation 2-based game which will take place several hundred years before the events of the original game, will carry the title Valkyrie Profile 2: Silmeria.
Valkyrie Profile 2: Silmeria will be available in Japan sometime in 2006."

AWESOME [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] We'll probably get to know why Silmeria was stuck in ice in VP1.
Also we can expect Brahms to be in it since they apparently knew each other.
Hell yes! First I found out that Sezter will be in KH2 and now that VP2 will indeed be for the PS2.Quote:

That is excelent news, I hope they dont fuck the story or battle system up.
Speaking of PSX RPGs, I recently realized that since I actually have a PS2 and it's been ages since I replayed FF7 & 8, I went out and bought them both. This is the first time I play them on the PSX, since originally I had them for the PC. They were pretty expensive for old PSX titles, but well worth the pennies!
Terra, you should PM me a description of this game your talking about. The first one. Explain the battle system and the walk around system and all that. Is it basically like FF? pm me though

IF they'd actually gone through and finished the damn thing (Disc 2!!!! for god's sake!) this game would be my favorite, bar none. Story, characters and themes are totally wicked. One of the deepest games I've seen. The battle system was also pretty nifty (at least the non-Gear fights, Gear battles sorta got old). Upgrading characters and Gears was very enjoyable.
Honestly, can anyone whose played the whole thing say any other game had a better storyline?
Its just such a shame that they had to rush to finish the game and didn't get to finish it. I mean, the game as it was released was something like 75% complete (DISC FRIGGIN 2!!!!!)
A remake would make me cream my pants.
I can't get enough of that little kid (in Solaris Apartments) playing with his little toy Gear and yelling "Purge the Lambs! Yeah!" Besides, that game had one of the coolest villians ever, not totally crazy, adequatley motivated, an absolute genius and HE FUCKED WITH GOD. Oh, yes, he is in my sig [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
Xenogears also had Billy Lee Black. Nuff said [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
