Not really.. Final Fantasy sells alot...and Devil May Cry is like uber-popular as well....
What he obviously meant was that RPGs are so dreadfully boring that they can put anyone to sleep. I tend to start up an RPG whenever I can't sleep. I find them strangely soothing.

Persona 2. I have never met a person in RL who knows of the game.

Though I knew someone who owned Nocturne...which was funny, because the girl who owned was like really prissy and stupid, the last person you'd expect to enjoy a SMT game.

Complete Chaos [Full Game available!][/url] (No RTP required)
Also try out my demo: A Nightmare in Sunnydale, California

Gaming World: A site that is no longer focused on RPG Maker 2000 and RPG Maker 2003. It also has tutorials for Game Maker, which is not focused on RPG design.


The only RPGs I recommend are the Golden Sun games. (because they have nice puzzles and shiny effects)

So what? Grindie's made more games than any of those RPGmaker users, and none of them where RPGs.

Btw...

Breath of Fire III for the PSX.

I really really enjoy that RPG. It has awesome music, great mechanics, deep story, cool characters and it's kinda old-school as well. It's a really good RPG, and one of the games that reminds me how Capcom was so much more awesome back in the day.

The Breath of Fire series are all really good. 5 has interesting gameplay mechanics, but other than that it falls flat on its face. Sadly, all games are somewhat underrated.

Here's an awesome in-depth review of all the BoF games if you need to know more.

Why I dont get is why they suddenly changed the theme of the series...I guess thats what killed the series...


EDIT:+Rep for awesome link! it has a lot of reviews for a lot of good games! I appreciate it

Dragon Quarter was amazing, but definitely not for everyone, and it's not surprising it alienated long time BoF fans. It was unforgiving and 90% of it was dungeon crawler. Plus the palette was so dreary! Only a certain portion of the prime demo are going to be able to deal with that.

Chocobo's dungeon 2 and Threads of fate where SWEET (2 games i played most on my PsOne ...

Yo! I TOTALLY forgot about Threads of Fate! That game was killer sweet!

EDIT: OH, another I liked (though the annoying voices bothered me) was Brave Fencer Musashi. Though, I don't know if it ranks with the games we're mentioning thus far, and it was kind of more an action game anyway.  :hmm:

EDIT2: >_> oh--and Grandia had one of my favourite opening songs until Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion came along... ES4O has such an epic opening! :D Really makes me want to break out of that prison and play for hours on end until the game FEELS epic again! :D
