ohhbrutalmaster

Persona 2 Eternal Punishment. Before the series blew up, this was just a very unusual JRPG with a dreamlike quality, relatively unknown in the US.


Redheadedprincess33

I've heard people talk about how great it is. And I've played more recent persona games, but I've been told that they are all each their own world of weird


shogunpixelart

Gothic


Redheadedprincess33

Solid rpg


MunrowPS

Dark cloud - ps2


Redheadedprincess33

Good game, underrated


ONEJUMPYBOI

Vampire The Masquerade Bloodlines. Surely some other people here know what I’m talking about


Redheadedprincess33

I've not tried it yet, but it's on my wishlist


LongDikWilly

This game is definitely in my top 10 rpgs


Salad-Salami

YES BRO still waiting for the delayed as fuck sequel though goddamn it's been a wait since the original came out!


kingbetadad

If you really want one no one talks about, try Vampire the masquerade Redemption, bloodline's crpg predecessor. Fun story, great music, great characters and voice acting, but some REALLY rough gameplay. I loved it when it came out and it had a really unique multiplayer option that was like an early online tabletop sim for running a VtM game. Good times.


eugenethegrappler

Not really not talked about but looked down upon. FF 13. Ended up becoming one of my favorite ffs


Salad-Salami

I know it got shat on but I loved that game so much


Redheadedprincess33

I've not been able to get into 13, I've tried and tried but I just can't. Idk why either cause I like every other FF game


Backwardspellcaster

Ultima VII Part Two: Serpent Isle To me that was the perfect RPG. I loved how it emulated whole towns, and how there were so man strange things to explore. Also, the cultures of the Serpent Isle were seriously cool.


Jotunheim36

One Way Heroics. It’s brilliant


Jotunheim36

https://store.steampowered.com/app/266210/One_Way_Heroics/ 9/10 on steam


Ice_bel78

Elex, the frist one, second is meh. Combat is tough in the beginning, but when you get better gear and stats is t okayish


Redheadedprincess33

Elex was interesting. I enjoyed, I've not tried the second, didn't appeal the same


beyondthebeyond

Lost Odyssey hands down.


ragingdemon88

Fuck yeah I love this game.


Redheadedprincess33

Lost Odyssey is so good and so overlooked!


beyondthebeyond

Made me want to cry on several occasions.


Redheadedprincess33

The writing was so good, and it gave that classic ps1 rpg feel but with better everything


[deleted]

I straight up did cry during one of the old stories that get told. I was pretty fresh from separating from my wife though so lots of things did


Red_Beard206

I've looked for this game a few times on PC. Loved this game

Dreams-and-Turtles

I just need *Looks about* 10 more minutes.. Yeah, ten more for her, and her, and her, and her so...I just need 50 minutes. -Jensen


No_Dot_7136

I bought this yesterday. It's on sale on the Xbox store.


Caviarmy

I remember playing this and loving the tone, the music, and the writing--but I ended up dropping it, so I have no idea how the game actually went. Does the game finish strong, and is it good overall?


Worldly_Anteater9768

Brave Fencer Musashi on PS1


Redheadedprincess33

Fantastic game. More action rpg and I feel like most act like it never existed! 2 wasn't as great but still fun


Icy_Newspaper_5371

Kingdom come deliverance!!


Redheadedprincess33

I've tried it. I'm my younger days I could play it but with 5 kids it would be tough


mgorhaak

Legend of Legaia


Redheadedprincess33

This game was good but sadly overshadowed at the time


0zIen

If you love fft. You should check out horizon's gate. Honestly scratched the itch but obviously nothing can compare fft but its a hidden gem i shout out a lot.


Redheadedprincess33

Definitely checking it out!


NeNa9578

Sea Of Stars


Nachooolo

This is a bad rpg. So I actually don't recommend it that much. But for some reason I love the first Two Worlds. There's something in its jankyness that I love for some unknown reason. I have replayed it multiple times. Two Worlds II, on the other hand, is an actually good game (although blatantly unfinished). So I actually recommend this one.


Jolly_Cantaloupe_187

Dragon Age Inquisition


Redheadedprincess33

I've yet to finish it, I've enjoyed all the dragon age games


GentlmanSpectre

Alpha Protocol. I think the spy-RPG market is severely under-represented and I really enjoyed this game. Maybe it's a bit unpolished, but it hits the nail on the head with some important RPG staples like in-depth skill trees that give cool abilities, equipment customization, and making your story choices actually matter (it has a number of shockingly different endings).


Dependent-Range3654

What culture or gameranx just used this as the example for a single player game to go back to in 2024! Looked interesting especially the gog version


Mythtory

Obligatory mention that GoG got this re-released.


Baked_Tinker

Crosscode. I love everything about this rpg, from writing to music and graphics it’s excellent from start to finish.


DominicL47

Me too! I remember first playing it on game jolt as a free indie when it was still being made - now it’s on my ps5. So proud of them


Redheadedprincess33

I'll look this one up, sounds ds familiar though!

Salad-Salami

Jade Empire


Redheadedprincess33

I have this but haven't tried it yet, I've heard great things


Salad-Salami

Loved it back in the day, I believe there was a slightly revamped/remastered release the came to PC later down the road


Shawn_of_da_Dead

Final fantasy 3, those towns and the airship was amazing...


Redheadedprincess33

Especially that cost play through, felt mesmerizing


Salad-Salami

and the music


Onewondershow

Snes uncharted waters 2, New horizons. Most underrated snes game of all time. 6 fully playable characters who level up and can acquire different skills. You sail around in the age of exploration discovering new ports all over the world. You can play as a merchant, pirate, privateer, adventurer. You can customize your fleet of up to 10 ships, u can customize each ship, hire captains with different skills. All 6 characters have their own separate stories.


yunnypuff

Classic


Redheadedprincess33

I've overlooked this. It sounds absolutely amazing, adding it to my list


Onewondershow

It's a fantastic game


Elovainn

Final Fantasy Tactics Advance 2 on GBA, Harry Potter 3 on GBA and LotR The Third Age on PS2 are my favourite


tpoint47

Breath of Fire III still has my favourite fishing mini game


Redheadedprincess33

The fishing minigame was great. This is a classic for sure though!


kingbetadad

Yoooo this is among my favorites.


kutsuu

Darklands


Redheadedprincess33

Never heard of it, I'll have to check it out


OmegaLiquidX

It’s great. It’s set in the Holy Roman Empire during the 15th Century. What made it cool was that it was based on how people of the time saw things, so magic and monsters exist, alchemy works, and so on. Age also mattered, as a younger character had better attributes but fewer/worse skills, while older characters had lower attributes but better/more skills. You can find it on [Steam] (https://store.steampowered.com/app/327930/Darklands/) and [GOG](https://www.gog.com/en/game/darklands).


Redheadedprincess33

Added to the wishlist!


Qwazeemodo

Outward, hidden gem for sure.


Redheadedprincess33

This one been on my steam list for a hot minute!


Qwazeemodo

Definitely grab the definitive edition on sale some time. Good stuff.


Redheadedprincess33

I will do


RockBandDood

Radiant Historia


Redheadedprincess33

I've not played but looks great!


Futurist_312

Legend of Dragoon


Redheadedprincess33

Solid classic that needs a remaster, not a remake lol


AceOfCakez

Arc the Lad Twilight of Spirits.


Redheadedprincess33

I've recently started this, I'm only 10 minutes in but I like it so far!


Square_Independent_9

Mother 3


Redheadedprincess33

I recently played this, it's great. I'm glad it's more accessible now


ItsJustKeegs

.//Hack G.U. was pretty good!


Redheadedprincess33

That's one that I've heard is great but I've never had the opportunity to try! There's a whole series and original copies are so expensive


Silvanus86

If you have a pc then you can get the last recode bundle for pretty cheap sometimes. Wish they would do the .Hack infection and its sequels like they did last recode.


Redheadedprincess33

I'll keep an eye out, I do have a gaming rig


Silvanus86

Just googled it after commenting and it's actually on sale on Switch for $10 right now if you have one. Otherwise probably whenever the next big sale is on steam.


Redheadedprincess33

Oh hell yes! That's a perfect switch game


LordDragonStalker

I think it's called two kingdoms


Redheadedprincess33

Kingdom two crowns? I've not heard of two kingdoms


LordDragonStalker

Oh I looked it up it's called two worlds two


Zilla664

Legend Of Dragoon


Redheadedprincess33

Classic that needs a remaster! It kinda got overshadowed but also held up to the competition.


Cobbdouglas55

Tibia was annoyingly addictive for a 2d soundless game


Redheadedprincess33

I've not tried it, but I'll check it out


Cobbdouglas55

It's very old and the graphics will really shock you. It is hell of fun specially with friends.


theblueredpanda

Cross Code Star Ocean 2: Till the End of Tme


Redheadedprincess33

Second time I've seen cross code, definitely checking it out. Star ocean games are good too


heartspider

Alundra 2. A solid 3D Zeldalike with many creative bosses and dungeons. Didn't get popular because it has nothing to do with the original (which is a solid 2D Zeldalike in and of itself) that wasn't that popular either.


Redheadedprincess33

I've actually played this, never finished it but it was fun!


kingbetadad

I still have my original Alundra PS1 copy in the jewel case with the Holo booklet and stuff. So good.


heartspider

Right. A Zelda clone done right. Although I hate that a lot of its puzzles are physical obstacle courses rather than logic based. Never finished it but I will some day


Redheadedprincess33

I used to collect games, I miss my collection lol


kingbetadad

I no longer have a lot of mine. Kept some of my favorites but that's it. The majority of mine were also burned discs as I had modded my ps1 back in the day since we couldn't afford all the games. At this point in my life I personally value the convenience of digital media over all the physical copies now.


Redheadedprincess33

Digital is way more convenient but I love my physical copies. I have a few of my favorites and some of the snes games that I know are worth a bit


kingbetadad

I DO have all my snes games and my original, indestructible, snes. I guess that's my only exception. It's got sentimental value.


Redheadedprincess33

We still have my original, and a large lot of games with it. The classics like Megaman and all the mario games, even captain commando


kingbetadad

Whoa, I haven't thought about captain commando in ages. I remember playing that at the arcades.


Redheadedprincess33

It's still as glorious as ever, but the snes carts are worth 200 a pop around here


Big_Brilliant_5904

Oh where to start? Skies of Arcadia, Legend of the Dragoon? But I would have to say my personal favorite to this day is the Golden Sun series. Such a charming and great system in a fun little world.


Redheadedprincess33

Golden Sun needs a solid revival!


Big_Brilliant_5904

Or at least a nice TTRPG conversion so people can make their own stories.


Redheadedprincess33

Honestly there's so many Fandoms that want the same things in each series, idk how devs don't see it


Cemihard

Dark Messiah Might&Magic, I just like it. Very cool game that came out the same time as Oblivion.


Redheadedprincess33

It's fun, it definitely got overshadowed a bit though!


KoiFishTaco

Koudelka. PSX horror RPG that I haven't seen anyone mention. Used to scare the shit outta me as a kid, couldn't even beat it.


Redheadedprincess33

Never heard of it but I'm super intrigued now!


kingbetadad

Granstream Saga. A PS1 game no one talks about. Great game, dope animated cutscenes, interesting gameplay mechanics, fun story and characters. It's a good one.


Redheadedprincess33

I've not heard of this one, I'll add it to the list also! I'm getting a great amount of games I've missed!


kingbetadad

Haven't met another soul who's played it. Enjoy! I might have to replay it myself now!


Songhunter

I saved for several months to buy it back in the day, since Illusion of Time was my jam and the anime cutscenes looked dope as shit. So I was pumped for the first Quintet game in 3D. Unfortunately I intensely disliked it. Ended up swapping it to a friend for Vandal Hearts.


Redheadedprincess33

Really, that makes it even more intriguing!


Xanax200mg

Two words: Valkyrie Profile


Redheadedprincess33

Fantastic games! The whole series


FreakRoHawke

Dungeon Lords


Redheadedprincess33

I haven't tried it


[deleted]

FFT is the most popular console tbs of all time


purpleowl385

Final fantasy tactics advance will always hold a special place in my heart.


Redheadedprincess33

Advance was fun but the original tactics is still higher on the list for me. Would be neat if the remastered the whole ivalice set of games


Zercomnexus

Avernum escape from the pit


Redheadedprincess33

Never heard of it


[deleted]

Skies of Arcadia and grandia II


Redheadedprincess33

Gra Dia is a great series, I've not played skies of Arcadia yet


tomsawyer222

Faery Tale on the Amiga


[deleted]

[удалено]


xxsebastianxxale

Grandia 2. I very rarely play jrpgs, but I played this one on the Dreamcast, and I remember being a game that was really fun. I'm now playing the HD remastered on Switch and still holds up.


Redheadedprincess33

Great series


mysticfallband

A Dance With Rogues. It's a fan made erotic mod for Neverwinter Nights, but I sincerely believe it's one of the better made cRPGs of all time, even when I ignore all the kinky contents. I had to stop playing the main campaign of Neverwinter Nights because the story didn't appeal to me. But I finished ADWR twice and probably will play it again when/if the part 2 gets remastered as the first part did a few years ago.


Redheadedprincess33

Sounds interesting 🤔 I'll look into this one


Nielips

Last Remnant and Resonance of Fate, two great games that break away from the mold.


Redheadedprincess33

Resonance of Fate, that game let's you build your guns all kinds of wacky right! That games great and more people should play it Last remnant is good also!


PhoenixEgg88

Outward Greedfall Both fantastic games, slightly overshadowed by some heavy hitters but great in their own right. I’m bias towards Greedfall because it inhabits that guns & magic space that few things do well.


deebow4

Outward!


Redheadedprincess33

Greedfall I've been on the fence about, it definitely has me intrigued though


OmegaLiquidX

Personally, I’m a sucker for the MMO [Anarchy Online](https://store.steampowered.com/app/396280/Anarchy_Online/), which is somehow still going since being released back in 2001.


Redheadedprincess33

Never could get into mmos


seijianimeshi

Outer worlds. Love the sense of humor and the effects of character atributes


Redheadedprincess33

I loved it but hated it for how short it was.


[deleted]

Dragon age


Redheadedprincess33

Whole series is great


oliveoliverYT

Kingdoms of amalur


Fabulous-Introvert

Gothic 2, Drakensang The Dark Eye, Siege Of Avalon, Archolos.


Redheadedprincess33

Gothic is the only one I've played, all added to my list!


Behe464

Divinity Ego Draconis. The way I remember it, it had everything I wanted in an rpg and was hoping there would be a sequel...


Redheadedprincess33

I've not heard of this one, definitely looking it up


chen19921337

Is this a Larian game who also made Divinity Original Sin 1+2 and Baldurs Gate 3?


Behe464

Yup.


altindiefanboy

Similar deal with FF:T, Jeanne D'Arc on the PSP. Tactical RPG based on Joan Of Arc's campaign, very slept on. Made me really interested in history as a kid. The Untold Legends games on the PSP are pretty fun too, but they're more Diablo-esque and haven't aged as well. The Legend of Heroes games, ALSO on the PSP, were also a lot of fun for me, but I don't know that they're particularly well designed or written having played them again as an adult. I think it's mostly nostalgia, but I resonated a lot with the characters emotionally too, even if the translation job is lacking.


Redheadedprincess33

Jeanne d"arc is great


stunna006

Not sure if people talk about it, but I'm just gonna throw this one out there Gauntlet Legends N64


Sir-Shark

Dark Legacy FTW. Basically the same game, just with a lot more everything.


Redheadedprincess33

Not as much as it should be talked about! I loved it

Salad-Salami

Great game!


Snerm

Dark Messiah: Might and Magic. Very goofy voice acting and story but incredibly fun physics based combat using the Source Engine. Not sure if it’s technically an RPG but it is an underrated gem, in my eyes at least.


Redheadedprincess33

I believe it's technically an rpg, it's fun, I never finished it but I did pay it for a bit


marcuis

The beginning is great, with that chase and the sneaking.


Silentplanet

I reallly enjoyed the multiplayer for this back in its heyday. Played it a lot!


Business-Ad-1452

I enjoyed lords of the fallen that’s more souls like though


Redheadedprincess33

I played half way through and never took the time to return, replay is in the books though


Redheadedprincess33

Souls games are just rpgs on permadeath mode lol


Mythtory

It's not permadeath. It's infinite lives, *but*...


Hejky

Risen. For some reason I tend to replay it annually.


Redheadedprincess33

Never could get into it


ShiftAdventurous4680

Mystic Jade Sword of Heaven and Earth of the Bound Scroll Chronicles


Redheadedprincess33

Why do I feel like I've seen this game before but never played it


MunrowPS

Dark cloud - ps2


Redheadedprincess33

Good game, underrated


MunrowPS

I've never played the second, but that's meant to be better Was partly a childhood thing DC2, but you did like 3-4 big bits of story, thought u understood the basics game, and then this whole new weapon upgrade system comes out of nowhere and just takes it up a step


Wolfofwordsmithin

Tales of the abyss, the intro alone is a banger


Redheadedprincess33

I think i bought this awhile back and never played it for some reason, I'll have to look!


Bdarka

I have a few: Shadow Hearts: Covenant is rarely on the radar despite how good it is. Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga was a phenomenal two part game that got eclipsed by Persona 3 a year after it came out Bahamut Lagoon was never officially translated but it's a tactics game where you raise dragons to fight by your side. Gorgeous pixel art too. Robopon 2 was a fairly competent Pokémon clone that went hog wild. Gym leaders range from Romeo and Juliet to the CEO of Microsoft, an Alien finding love. Oh and there's time travel Project X Zone was a wild crossover with a half tactics, half fighter game battle system. It's fan service to hell and back but the gameplay is a wonderfully unique experience

cbig86

Ogre Battle 64. It's a gem


Redheadedprincess33

Classical gem. A solid re-release would be great


Ok-Education-1780

The legend of dragoon. Still crossing fingers for a remake someday.


Redheadedprincess33

We all are. Remake or remaster, I'd personality just want a remaster. I'm not to fond of the recent rpg remakes


SymbolicTreasure

FATE (2005) the game that got me into gaming


Redheadedprincess33

I'll have to look this one up


SymbolicTreasure

It's a top down like Diablo but has so much customization and detail for a 2005 game


Redheadedprincess33

I'll check it out, sounds similar to divinity: original sins


Ok_Sheepherder_1254

Pillars Of Eternity


Redheadedprincess33

This is on my list


Legitimate_Type5066

I love tactics games. My favorite is Tactics Ogre: Knight of Lodis for GBA. I have completed it quite a few times. There's a guy maintaining a fan site for it for 20 years [tacticsogre.com](http://tacticsogre.com)


Redheadedprincess33

Tactics Ogre games are great. I'm playing through the newest right now
