[Erik]

whut

it's basically the same

 

[Ellestin]

ok so yeah it's grown a little over my head with time. Do you happen to know some really worthwile game made with RPg-Maker or something?

 

[Erik]

no

i doubt there are any

rpg maker is gay

 

[Ellestin]

it is

but I'm buying a crappy realisation and shit midi music if the scenario kicks ass

 

[Sadguru]

FFVI ftw

otherwise bleh and then some.

Breath of Fire, Lufia, Suikoden were ok at the time I played them (when I was 15 or sth) but the world NEEDS a mastodonte 2D RPG again!

Yeah, I'm a fan of 2d RPGs as well. Check out Atelier Iris on the PS2, it's an old school RPG. It's very lighthearted though, so if you're looking for a mature storyline and characters, definitely look elsewhere.

Here's a screen:

Severely underrated, totally awesome.

You mean, the lunch RPG title for PS2?

 

[SonOfNun]

lunch RPG

sounds rokkin'. Cook one up for me.

Yeah, pretty sure it launched with the system. People bitched a lot about load times and the graphics not being incredible, but that's shallow shit for tards. The storyline is complex, there are surprises at every turn, the characters are fun and there is actually a world to explore. Two continents to travel to and plenty of action, items, spells and fun to be had. The capital of your home continent of Medeva, Lenele, is one of the most ridiculously huge cities I've ever seen in a game and it's just obvious that the design team took a lot of steps to cook up a storyline and a world to delve into that was believeable and fun to be in.

The sequel game was ok, but it was a little out there story-wise, the characters were a lot less interesting, as were the locations and once you hit the midway point of the game, you no longer have control over anywhere you go or what you're doing and it's fucking obnoxious. Very mediocre and unworthy title. The storyline and game system is pretty much completely disassociated from the original. Mediocre at best.

Sounds cool man. I know someone who really enjoyed the game as well. Looks like I'll have to give it a try. Thanks for the input!

Raises hand! Highly recommended for the 2d RPG nostalgic and those who don't mind one-dimensional characters and a "love and friendship wins over all" kind of story. Working Designs really did a fantastic job on this one.

Yeah, Lunar was good. I only played the second Grandia, but I enjoyed that as well.

[Impudent]

Is not Pokemon one of the greatest RPGs of all time? (Answer = yes it is.)

 

[Sadguru]

Hummm, Xenosaga III soundtrack might be the best release of the year and most definitely one of the best RPG soundtracks, ever.

 

[cthulufhtagn]

that really should read "show yourselves"

sorry it's distracting

 

[Sadguru]

My English is superficial, pardon me.
Now go play Xenosaga 3.
