But if you're the type that likes to play like, old NES RPGs it feels a lot like those and is probably better than a lot of them, even. 2 is really good. Charming cast and characters with a decent plot, and the gameplay while relatively standard is quite solid. Also, Ancient Cave. I'll still sometimes just boot it up for an Ancient Cave run. 3 has some unique gameplay that works pretty well and has a pretty decent plot but the dungeons are all randomized and it really hurts the game. Pretend Ruins of Lore doesn't exist. The remake of 2 on DS is fine but the redesigns for the characters are terrible and I'm basically never a fan of turning turn based RPGs into action RPGs. Punnyz posted... Illusion of Gaia\Terranigma Both are fantastic. Illusion of Gaia has the stronger plot while Terranigma has the stronger gameplay IMO, but really both are amazing on both counts anyway. Can't recommend these enough. If there was anything on this list I'd say are 'must plays' it would be these two games. Punnyz posted... Breath of Fire I've only played 1 and 2 and they were solid, albeit a bit uninspired RPGs. That said, like Lufia 2, I remember them fondly for having a lot of charm. I've heard the rest of the series is good too. Punnyz posted... and Shining Force A lot of people love this series but it always just seemed like an inferior Fire Emblem to me. Tried 1, 2, and 3 and dropped them all within about 5-6 hours/ Wouldn't say not to try it, though- like I said, a lot of people love the series and I do see that other people might enjoy it and why they would. <cite>tcaz2 posted [p:926016627] in what are y...
