Excellent video with lots of interesting choices! Crystalis is definitely my pick for best rpg on the NES. It is the game that got me into the genre in the first place. Faxanadu is oddly nostalgic for me because it was the game my cousin and his friend told me to go play because I wanted to play King's Bounty with them on the Genesis and they didn't want me bugging them. Faxanadu always looked good but I couldn't hack it as a kid.

I remember playing Dragon Warrior right after Final Fantasy 1-3, and while it was definitely clunkier and less polished in just about every way, there were two things that I ended up enjoying more than I expected to: the utility spells and the dungeons. Having spells that are useful outside of combat, as well as dungeons that require a light source and a piece of graph paper did make it a bit more interesting and immersive compared to most of the JRPGs I was used to at the time. The fact that treasure chests in dungeons would respawn, which was likely an oversight or programming error, also made for some variation to the formula when I realized I could be grinding dungeons instead of just mobs when I needed money. I really haven't played a whole lot of JRPGs outside of the classics, but in the ones I've played the dungeons usually feel like little more than corridors with the occasional branching path and treasure chest, so I was pleasantly surprised to learn that they had something more going for them.

Saw someone with a msg saying “i will never own suikoden 2”, that message makes me sad because I owned 1 and 2, up until a couple years ago, I was really bad off, into drugs and had no money and had heard that they sell for a lot. I was so desperate for cash quickly that I sold suikoden 1 and 2 for 80$ since it was the quickest sale I could make (sold it in like 2 hours) 😭. I’ve been Sober now for almost 4 years, and that always makes me sad. But honestly, I don’t mind all that much, I enjoyed them when I was young, and if I wanted to play again I could always play the Roms, and the most important reason why I’m not too torn up over it, is the guy I talked to sounded like a real genuine fan and I was glad to give it to him. Tbh I’m more upset that I can’t play ff7 remake because I have an Xbox one and a switch. And not a stupid ps4 which is like 400$ or something despite a new console coming out relatively soon

Great vid! Faxanadu is excellent, had it as a kid and tons of nostalgia here. Replayed it recently and it's still great. The first Dragon Warrior I find very charming. A hyper-compact rpg and the challenge and sense of exploration is still interesting today I think, despite some mechanics being clunky as you said. I don't mind having just one character, it actually means less stuff to worry about. I still play that one once every year. That sword and serpents game looks like a very competent dungeon crawler! gonna have to try it. Oh and I really need to play Willow already... Amazing vid Daria! Was hoping for something like this from you since you have a very nice NES rpg/arpg collection.

This game was unlike anything I had ever played and it sucked me in like no game has ever sucked me before.... Yeah that sounded funny. Oh well. But either way, it made me fall in love with JRPG's and the Dragon Quest series as a whole, and I STILL play the first Dragon Warrior game religiously to this day in the form of the Randomizer. I literally run thru the game every few days, as it's one of my favorite games to speedrun.

Ultima Exodus is one I played through yesterday. It's remarkably short if you have maps and know what to do. But back in the day, it would take forever just to figure out what the hell to do with those cryptic vague hints, and there was no internet to look it up on. Frustrated children could spend weeks just wandering, hoping to stumble upon the solution, not counting the repeated dungeon deaths from unexpected traps.

Great list and video. Idk if it was said somewhere else (I did scroll through a bit and look so I wouldn't say what has already been said) but Faxanadu is not the only Xanadu game to come west. Tokyo Xanadu eX for the PS Vita and the PS4 port Tokyo Xanadu eX+ were both brought west by Aksys games. This game was developed by Falcom themselves and is really good for what is obviously a budget title. Think recent Ys Combat with Persona light social stats and a Trails of Cold Steel story structure. It's only subbed and not dubbed in English but is quite a hidden gem. Cheers. :)

Xanadu Next has an English PC version, and it's vastly better than the NGage version... in fact, it's a total underrated gem.

Ok, you had me loling at Dungeon Magic with your "devouring" of the townsfolk :D. Also, I love how when you die in the game it proclaims "YOUR LIFE IS OVER!" How... morbid? I also don't think I've ever seen you so angry at a game before. It does sound abysmal though. Like an old Might and Magic game, except shit. And man, I forgot how much I loved the Zelda 2 dungeon music... Just such a classic tune. Oddly enough, for years I only knew that song from Smash Bros, I had never played through Zelda 2 as a kid. Then I played and finished it about 5 years ago and realized, oh! That's where that songs from! LOL....

It is entirely possible I was playing it wrong? There's these schools of magic and at the beginning you choose one. I may have chosen poorly.

Hey, a new video! KZbin didn't bother telling me until now. Bad algorithm! I feel like the "dick-bats" from Zelda 2 are related to the ones from Metroid that just hit the ground and explode, depriving you of any satisfying revenge against them. Oh, and Happy Mother's Day as well! Hope it's going well for you.

It definitely still boggles my mind how Crystalis, Willow, and Faxanadu continue to be so cheap. The first two are probably the best overhead ARPGs on the system, and the latter is probably the best ARPG not named Zelda II in that mold.
