RPGs excel at reusing assets, you'd think with the limited space on those cartridges it would have been the premiere genre. I was going to say the opposite, that a cartridge-based system hurt RPGs due to the direction they were heading (3D enviromnents/characters, larger worlds, FMVs, highly detailed backgrounds, etc).

EnvyFox 05/12/18 9:02:10 AM #13:	If it counts, my vote goes to Hybrid Heaven. Some people say it's an action adventure game but even the designers themselves refer to it as an action RPG so I'm going by what they said. Other than that, I guess I'd choose Paper Mario for the sole reason that it's a Mario game. Otherwise, I choose nothing. Harvest Moon 64 is simulation, Quest 64 blows chunks and I've never played the other 2-3 RPGs on the system nor do I want to. <cite>EnvyFox posted [p:901215232] in Best RPG o...

N64 using cartridges instead of CDs was a main reason for Squaresoft jumping to PlayStation, after all. The 3D is exactly what would have saved the space. Keep in mind, geometry was much simpler in those days. Games could be quite small so long as you could avoid some things. Take EverQuest as an example, released in '99 and didn't quite hit 500MB in its original form. EQ was humongous, you could spend hours traveling from one place to another. As you did mention, the FMVs and prerendered backdrops were what was space consuming, and while they were the new hotness for CD based systems, because they had the space, they weren't really necessary for a good game. There's no reason they couldn't have put the N64's reasonable power advantage to use handling things like cutscenes in engine, sort of like Skies of Arcadia did some years later. Not that every RPG needs to be huge, but I believe with some judicious texturing they could have created some things with pretty impressive scope. It just would have required they confront and accept the machine's shortcomings, while playing to its strengths. <cite>Red_Frog posted [p:901219807] in Best RPG o...

streamofthesky 05/13/18 10:56:41 AM #27:	The complete dearth of RPGs is why N64 is the only Nintendo console I've never owned. I played at friends' houses or the school gaming club, mostly Smash Bros. But never saw a point to own one. Quest 64 was utterly terrible. Paper Mario seemed like a sick joke, coming off the masterpiece that was SMRPG on SNES Pokemon Stadium and Zelda games I wouldn't count as RPGs. I didn't even know about the Ogre series back then or that there was a game on N64 for it, but I assume that one was at least decent. So, only three genuine RPGs in the whole library. One was ass, another I never even heard of, and the third looked fucking stupid. <cite>streamofthesky posted [p:901269632] in Best RPG o...
