Also if there was never a third roomate, then it's really not that weird that you don't remember them or why they weren't there and you don't remember why, and then it's not important.
This. If there was no roommate, then this seems like a normal memory lapse. Especially if you're over 30.

Star Ocean: The Second Story.

Most fun crafting and skill system I've ever come across. Pretty decent action with some amazingly bad/good voice acting. A good number of characters with a variety of sidequests, and a bunch of different endings available to them. Add a good end game, and two different ways to start the story, and it's definitely my most replayed video game ever.

I'll admit that Chrono Trigger was a close contender. And I still consider Xenogears to be the Best RPG on the PS1.

Final Fantasy just had too many good entrees in that generation. FFVII-FFIX, and Tactics on top of that.

While I would rank Suikoden II above them, and Lunar 2/Breath of Fire III/Wild Arms on par with my fav (FFIX), Final Fantasy just has the numbers to take the win.

Nice. I failed when I tried with that aspect, but did some decent wrecking with Hestia. Think I've completed just about everything there is to do aside from grinding out Darkness and Gems for titles and the Contractor, and getting another 10-15 Titan Blood to max all the aspects.

Ah, there is a bit of Dusa plot left over. Not sure if it was supposed to be an early plotline that I skipped due to maxing her relationship too soon (she got fired for talking to me too much), but that does give me some incentive to play a bit longer.

Or I could start over in Hell mode...

Yes. And I did, and still do make use of some of them.

  • Mega Man Legends had a few mistakes, but had useful maps
  • Legend of Legaia spoils a bit of the fun with the Arts list, but was still nice
  • Chrono Cross was useful due to the large cast
  • FFVIII's was great for info on Card modding and such
  • FFIX was annoying with how they tried to add an online element, but at least gave you some info
  • FFX and XII were useful at the time
  • Pokemon gen 1 and 2
  • Metal Gear Solid 2


That's most of them I can recall at the moment.

Polynesians, definitely.

I mean, look at this map they used:



Maps in ancient times look ridiculous nowadays, but this one probably takes the cake. There are instructions on the right of it, sure. A fat lot of good that does for my used-to-modern-maps eyes. Can't even begin to understand the thing apart from the 'shells are islands' bit.

The kicker is that these things... actually worked. These people actually used these crude things to accurately map out the wide ocean and to move between islands as they willed. With no other pointer, landmark, etc. to guide them, just open water in every direction as far as the eye can see.

Just by being practically usable, it beats the hell out of that ridiculous nonsense that drew mermaids in the ocean and fountain-turtles where China ought to be, and shows that these guys must've been badasses with balls of steel to get around the ocean only armed with something like that.
Not only that, but Polynesian use of the stars makes decked out Europeans with all their charts, compasses, and sextants look like novices in comparison.

I think zeus lightning works well on the rail because you get a lot out really quickly, but im just not sure about it as a cast option too much
I just love that it basically turns the special into a proximity bomb rather than remote trigger only. Probably not as efficient as having them dole out hangover or chill, though.

Thats sucks but honestly that build doesn't sound that strong. Zeus cast is only good for crowd control and Artemisia support fire is nice to have but doesn't add a ton of damage overall. I imagine you cleared crowds well but struggled to take big hits on hades?
Had a similar combo a little while back. Zeus lightning and Artemis support fire with the gun's attack can pile up damage rather quickly. I did have triple bomb though, which might be what let my special with lightning still pile on damage quickly. Without the triple bomb, hangover is probably better on the special for bosses (or a call since the many small attacks help that build up quickly).

FF7 for sure.

I'm not much of a fan. But it's true.

It's definitely a milestone: The CGI cutscenes, the anime-esque plot, introducing the jrpg genre to many who would have never known about it had FFVII not been so popular and prevalent (I wanted a Playstation just for that, and I'd never heard of the Final Fantasy series prior, despite owning and loving stuff like Chrono Trigger, Secret of Mana, Super Mario RPG, Phantasy Star IV, etc.)

You can't deny how big of an impact it had.

Of course, Pokemon had an even bigger impact on media and the world in general. So it takes the crown in this case.

Just got the epilogue after 90 attempts (68 escapes). Was putting it off for about 10 runs or so while I tried to max out all the relationships I could. Now just have one relationship to max, the Pierced Butterfly and 16 heat achievement, and a 32 heat run.

Really didn't expect to get sucked into this game as much as I did. 114 hours in 3.5 weeks. Starting to get a little burned out though.

Favorite weapons so far are the Fists and the Bow. Mainly Demeter followed by Talos on the Fists, and Zagreus (crit build!) followed by Rama for the Bow.

I wouldn't suggest that. Dragon Quest 7 has a section which takes forever to finish. You could finish 13 in the time that it takes to finish that one section of DQ 7. And for the record, 13 isn't as bad as people make it out to be. It's loads better than the original version of 12. Sure 12 might look more beautiful, but the story for 13 is far better than 12s.
It might be a shorter game, and have a faster paced story than 12.

But the story is nonsensical compared to 12's, and the enjoyment I'd get out of being forced to play it is negative compared to how I'd enjoy playing DQVII again.
