PS Classic
Here's a quick comparison of the PS Classic lineup for Japan and for the rest of the world. Will follow up with what I consider the clearest omissions.
re: PS Classic
@KommaChameleon what the hell, there's almost no good rpgs on there. Final Fantasy VII and Wild Arms and that's it for NA, though JP gets SaGa Frontier too at least
re: PS Classic
@Felthry You could probably make a 20 game list with just the classic RPGs on the platform!
re: PS Classic
@KommaChameleon Let me see if I can!
Chrono Cross
Final Fantasy VII
Final Fantasy VIII
Final Fantasy IX
Grandia
the Legend of Dragoon
Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete
SaGa Frontier
Star Ocean: The Second Story
Suikoden
Suikoden 2
Tales of Destiny
Tales of Eternia
Wild ARMs
Wild ARMs 2
Xenogears
...I got sixteen. Having trouble thinking of other popular ones that aren't remakes (and lunar is already an edge case being a port)
re: PS Classic
@Felthry Here's some more, in no particular order:
Breath of Fire 3
Breath of Fire 4
Final Fantasy Tactics
Vagrant Story
Threads of Fate
Valkyrie Profile
Front Mission 3
Tactics Ogre
re: PS Classic
@KommaChameleon Ah, how did I forget all of those! I intentionally left out FFT because it's a tactics game and doesn't have the usual RPG mechanics beyond being turn-based and story-based (no exploration, etc)
Threads of Fate is one we really ought to play sometime, we've heard it's really good.
Oh yeah, isn't Thousand Arms another PS1 rpg?
re: PS Classic
@Felthry honestly I can't say for sure; I've never been interested in checking it out because of the "dating sim aspects" that get top billing
re: PS Classic
@KommaChameleon I don't know how well-liked it is, it just came to mind for some reason
