Lufia 2: Rise of the Sinistrals for the SNES

Pros:
- Funny, nice story
- Great turn based RPG combat system
- Unique "IP" system in which worn items had special effects that built up whenever you were hit (it was a bar below your HP and Mana, it went up as you get hit, items then spent some amount of your "IP" to use their effect. These ranged from spells you'd get throughout the game, to extremely unique effects)
- Unique pet system in which you feed your pet gear and it gains strength, evolves, grows larger.
- Built-in Rogue-like game that provided some of the best gear in the game, a fully randomized 99 floor dungeon in which you start out at level 1 with no gear and gear up as you go. Items found in "blue chests" can be taken out and taken back in later, so multiple runs get easier as you get better and better blue chest items.

Straight up, it's the standard I hold every RPG to.

A close second is Breath of Fire 2, their town building system and character modifications was super interesting.

That's a tough question, but for me possibly The Magic Candle on DOS. Final Fantasy (original on NES) might be second, and maybe Fallout 3 for third?

Baldur's gate 2.

You liked 1 more than 2? Strange.

P99 red server.


jk, real answer is difficult. Chrono Trigger and Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past are nostalgia favorites, but I haven't played them in so long, I'm not sure how they would match up to more modern games.

Even though it was full of bugs, I spent a stupid amount of time in Elder Scrolls: Oblivion.

I was having a totaly unrelated convo about how much I liked Vandal Hearts, and couldnt get into Ogre Battle, or FF tactics. But they are great games.

Warsong was another great strategy game from the old days, it's actually my first one!

Phantasy Star series back on Sega and Ultima 7+8

My fave RPG of all time though man im thinking hard right now, I think its Phantasy Star II because that just was a formative game for me, and I love the look of the sci-fi, I feel its never been repllicated, like EQ, its been attempted but never quite captured what it was that I loved about it.

But hard nods to part I and part III both runner ups! Also Final Fantasy 2 (I thought 3 was bloated and had less heart than 2 IMO) is another close contender. Zelda for the Snes changed my life as did zelda for the Nes! This is tough!

Another major contender for me was Sword of Vermilion, It took me 15 minuets to realize I could just turn off my system after saving because it didn't go to the main menu, I was very young. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Dradon Quest 3 SNES

I recently played through Dragon Quest 1, it was too hard when I was a kid for me to get through but it was one I always wanted to stick a flag in, now I should try 2 and 3!
