It’s nice to finally see Legend of Legia put on a list

[@Bfr3shBrian]

The PS1 had the golden era of JRPGs IMO

[@CodZilla99]

End of Snes- Beginning of Ps2 was all golden age imo

[@Assassin0Ninja]

Jade cocoon was the game that introduced me to beautiful world of RPG ... still one of my all time favourite

[@AdriRayToshiro]

Lunar 2 is a top 5 RPG on the system imo. a wonderful experience, yet criminally underrated

[@lilstrawhat]

Pretty good list. Looking forward to more of these.

[@thatvideogamesshow]

Cheers lilcoco, plenty more on the way 🙂

[@freddogrosso9835]

Some hidden gems here! Valkyrie Profile looks freaking modern. Amazing.

[@WatZyAnAmE]

Valkery profile is the most under rated game in history

[@Sneakers8b]

Dragon warrior visuals are absolutely gorgeous!

[@laughpolice9068]

As a kid i hated how Dragon Quest 7 looked. I rented it played it for about 30 mins and quit. I recently went back and could appreciate it more. The remaster for 3ds does make it more playable for more modern gamers

[@thatvideogamesshow]

Totally agree, the remaster is a great way to experience the adventure.

[@kannabi]

I was the same, I then played through 1-6 in 2014-2015, when I went back to 7 I liked how it looked, but it was really slow-paced and quite clunky, I really struggled getting over that and quit after about 5 hours. The remake on 3DS is far better designed though for sure :)

[@NeoTurboManiac78]

While I have never beaten it (Zophar is a nightmare) Lunar 2 Eternal Blue Complete is my favorite game featured in this video. Vandal Hearts is another favorite of mine. I like that the variety of winning conditions is greater than Final Fantasy Tactics and I believe the battles require more careful planning as well.

[@Sinn0100]

I have an interesting story about Vagrant Story that I would like to share. Now, I got a Sega Dreamcast at launch as I often do with every console release and really wasn't playing many PSX games anymore. I was also salivating at the prospect of a launch PS2 on the horizon that I did get so Vagrant Story wasn't even on my radar. However my brother was still all about the PlayStation and couldn't stop talking about it. Even when I bought him (little brother) his Dreamcast he wanted those sweet, sweet JRPG's and I can't blame him. Roughly two weeks before Vagrant Story released he was headed home from school (10th grader, walker) when a drunk driver jumped a curb and hit him going over 40MPH sending him flying into a grassy area in a person's front yard. He was air flighted to an emergency room and aside from a pair of broken legs he was okay. Let me tell you...when I found out I went to the scene and tried to get at that morher...family friendly channel. It took 4 cops and pepper spray to stop me from getting to the driver because I was going to kill him and I am not kidding. Thankfully, I wasn't arrested and the cops just calmed me down and told me he was okay. At any rate, my parents were already at the hospital and I knew he was going to be okay...it was time for the impossible mission. I set out to see if I could somehow get him a copy of Vagrant Story early. I went everywhere trying to find that game but of course at two full weeks no one was going to have it. After roughly 5 hours of this I decided to head to Blockbuster Video to rent a bunch of stuff for us because I'll be damned if I let my brother hanging in a hospital with nothing to do and I had a wild idea...what if Blockbuster had it. I went up to the counter and asked the checkout guy and of course he said no way, not at two weeks. He asked me why I needed it so badly and I told him about my brother, he called his manager over and told him my story. The yard my brother landed in after the accident was his! He was so happy my brother was okay that he shared with me a little inside secret...he had 4 copies in storage waiting to be put out on release. He agreed to sell me the game with a 25 dollar upcharge to cover the rental fees two weeks would cover and I got the game! I immediately flew back to my parents house, packed up a 27 inch TV, PlayStation, games, controllers, memory cards, and of course snacks. I called off of work for a full week and headed for the hospital. When I got there and handed him that game his demeanor changed from 'man my day sucks' to "How did you pull this off?!" I wound up bringing in a second TV (mine) and my Dreamcast making it look like a mini arcade. My girlfriend at the time was a gamer and she joined in the fun as well as a group of my friends. His room was jumping 24/7 until they kicked us all out. He made a full recovery and we still game like crazy today. Good times, good times.

Really great list im sure you have mentioned xenogears in another video

[@zparklebugz424]

Starting off the video with Dragon Warrior VII which is one of my very favourite PS1 games!💖

[@ricky865]

The best part about Vagrant Story is that it's part of the Final Fantasy series taking place on the same world as Final Fantasy Tactics.

[@Mintcar923]

And FF XII.. I forgot I had it in the collection for many years.. And just today I’m playing for the first time which is crazy!

[@KryptKicker5]

Breath of Fire III, I was hoping with the inclusion of BoF I & II on the Switch SNES collection we'd see a port of III. Fingers crossed.

[@dankobik]

FF 8 all the way, i could try legend of mana looks intersting, my favorite rpg of all time is chrono cross, that soundtrack....

[@DeltathRiylaan]

I can't stress enough how terrible Legend of Mana is. It's quite simply one of the worst video games ever made. If you like Secret of Mana or Seiken Densetsu 3/Trials of Mana, Legend feels like a poor knockoff. But worse. Stay far from it.

[@dankobik]

@Konstanley Jerknov witch ff is rhe best for you?

[@cd5sircoupe]

Includes Breath of Fire 3, doesn't mention Dragon Gene system... this is one of my top favorite rpgs. Couldn't even tell you how many times I've played through. BoF4 was really good as well, but didn't quite have the same charm. It improved several systems and the graphics, but other things felt like a step backwards. That aside, I own or have owned in the past almost every game in part 1 & 2 of this list series. Kind of surprised Vandal Hearts was included but not Final Fantasy Tactics. Vagrant Story is one of my all time favorites as well, but this didn't really cover how it's more of a dungeon crawler rpg. The crafting system was excellent. Spent many hours hunting for rare parts to use. Legend of Mana was so good. It might seem simple on the surface but there were many mechanics that weren't clearly explained and were incredibly deep, such as land placement & crafting. The crafting in particular is insane. I was part of a forum in the early days and we all were trying to figure out recipes etc. for the best equipment & spells. It took a few years for people to figure it all out to the point it is today.

[@AbombOO7]

Dragon Gene system was awesome. Was really bummed to see BoF4 didn't keep it when I played it. Still enjoyed it, but seeing the different dragon combinations was definitely one of the highlights of BoF3.

[@cd5sircoupe]

[@cd5sircoupe]

@@AbombOO7 I got mine in bof3 when I was playing the game on my psp back in 2009 or so. It was full cfw and I could make my own eboots from my discs, so I did several of those as opposed to downloading images for them. No other changes to the game aside from the system it was being played on, which was 1:1 ps1 emulation anyway. I was just slogging through Caer Xhan on that playthrough building some levels or whatever and I finally got it out of the blue. I spent god knows how many hours grinding that dungeon for all the good equipment on however may save files and then I got it while I was just passing through a section? Ok.

[@jwspiker]

Valkyrie profile and legend of legaia are two of my favs

[@thatvideogamesshow]

Such great RPGs, want a remaster or modern Legaia so bad!

[@MatheusSSales-io2zu]

I've been thinking about playing both legend of mana and legaia, I only play one RPG at a time so I can get fully embedded into all the game's mechanics, my next playthrough is gonna one one of those😀 Breath of fire III is a quite catchy and remarkable game in all aspects, I remember you can take out bosses in only one attack if you truly experiment with that master system and those transformations, really OP gimmick when you dive deep into it... Awesome video bro! 😊👍

[@Necrowolf81]

id suggest legaia because of how unique the combat is.

[@johnkeii]

Legaia is honestly one of the best RPGs I've ever played and I'm very picky. Other RPGs I like: FF6, Xenoblade Chronicles 2, Chrono Trigger, SMRPG.

[@tiagovgoncalves]

[@simzocker]

Vagrant story is on here! you got a fan now forget the guts thing

[@rpgaholic8202]

Alright, since I'm the RPGaholic, time for another comment on all the RPGs someone reviews. Dragon Warrior VII - I've not played this one, but it definitely feels like it's one of the older Dragon Warrior/Quest games that's been given a massive upscaling. ---- Valkyrie Profile - Sadly I missed out on this. Hopefully I will eventually play it, even if it is via emulation. ---- Vandal Hearts - It took me a while to get into Shadow Hearts, so with the Hearts in the name, I probably overlooked this one at the time. Based on your footage, I'm not impressed, but maybe I just need to actually play it... great, another RPG on my "To play eventually" list. ---- Vagrant Story - You definitely sell me on it, as yet again, I missed out on this one. Probably the story of too many good RPGs for the system, not enough money and time to enjoy them all. ---- Jade Cocoon - I wasn't into this one, but one of my nieces was, to the point I got her the sequel as a birthday present. ---- Lunar 2 Eternal Blue Complete - Once again, great transition to the PlayStation, also had lots of real-world stuff that fans of the Lunar series would enjoy. Also, i don't think I ever completed the Bromide collection, there were several post-game bosses I was still working towards. ---- Legend of Mana - Limited budget for me meant I never played this one, it does look cool, and I might eventually find a copy as this one doesn't seem to be astronomical to find. ---- Final Fantasy VIII - Great game, and most of the detractors were people who were expecting too much after Final Fantasy VII. Square seems to reinvent the wheel with every Final Fantasy and for some this was too divergent from what they wanted/expected. There's a great game here, just not everyone's cup of tea. ---- Legend of Legaia - I know I commented on this on one of your other videos... can't remember what I said there, but it should apply here. ---- Breath of Fire 3 - Great game, and one that benefitted from the series jump from SNES to PlayStation.

vandal hearts is a very fun game. he didn't show any decent footage. The class upgrade system is fun and changes. It's also a loty easier to lose a battle than FF Tactics. You really need to plan,etc

But you can also.. Learn to get pets.. or than how to feed the pets so they grow stronger.. Learn to sow food for your pets.. or which seeds combinations grow which fruit Learn to forge weapons and armor or go on, and learn how to put especific abilities in itens or max their stats.. Just put any land where you want and go on.. or learn how to distribute them, so you have acces to better shops and some hidden quests.. You can play it like a dumb (like I did when I was a child) or you can master a lot of different archetypes..

Rip out the intro and alter the sound quality and it'd go on a 32MB cart. Of course, 64MB carts were a thing by that time, they could have easily got it on one of them.

Legend of Mana is not only NOT a must have RPG, it's in fact one of the ABSOLUTE worst video games ever created. It's heinously bad and even the creators were so embarrassed, they've denounced the game and removed it from the official canon. The game is NOT creative or unique at all. The gameplay is a poor approximation of its predecessors Seiken Densetsu 2 and 3 (Secret of Mana and its sequel) and the multiplayer is downright broken. The ability to build the world is just complete bullshit. You literally just find items and drop them onto a world map where you select your location from a drop down menu. It has no impact on anything other than the order in which you pursue some side quests, which is the entire game, as it has no actual narrative, no real characters and no development.
