minus-square@jordanlund@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish31•7 months agoOne of the better JRPGs ever done. Follow up Lunar 1+2 with Suikoden 1+2, then Golden Sun 1+2. (Optional) Phantasy Star 1-4. After that, you really don’t need to play any other JRPG.

minus-square@Lemming6969@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish7•7 months agoLunar is up there with FF 4 and 6 and Chrono. Likely best 4 retro rpgs that exist.

minus-square@prole@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkEnglish5•edit-27 months agoAs usual, Star Ocean: Second Story gets overlooked (they did do a great job with the remake though). You’re also leaving out the entire SMT/Persona series, but I guess it’s not everyone’s cup of tea.
minus-square@jordanlund@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish3•7 months agoPersona is a sore subject for me because they ruined the original North American localization. “So when you finish a random encounter, you can gain experience, or harvest souls!” “Polling says Americans don’t like random encounters.” “Oh, that’s easy to fix, reduce random encounters 50%” Which made it so you either couldn’t get enough experience or harvest enough souls. :( They also removed the Snow Queen quest for some reason: https://megamitensei.fandom.com/wiki/Snow_Queen_Quest
