Best JRPG series?
What's the fediverse think?
re: Best JRPG series?
@Felthry oh my god, a poll that includes suikoden, thank you so much
re: Best JRPG series?
@babbage how could anyone NOT include suikoden in a poll like this though
re: Best JRPG series?
@Felthry because 99% percent of the people i've mentioned it to have never heard of it D:
I'm guilty of only owning V and a demo of IV but i read so much of the lore and i absolutely love it as a series
now i can finally say "georg's eyepatch of shame" and have at least one person get it (probably)
re: Best JRPG series?
@Felthry Oh nice! I've only recently gotten a PS2 hooked up again, and thus was actually able to play V on something other than an emulator, so I definitely need to grab some of the other games (including a full version of IV)
That said, II is definitely really expensive and I'm just.. hghgh. Most of the listings I've seen are more expensive than my laptop, though the used ones seem like I'd be able to get them (at some point)
I really, really look forward to seeing Viki's prior appearances too
re: Best JRPG series?
@babbage 1 through 3 are available on PSN too, we've heard
and yeah 2 is really expensive--we were lucky and got a complete copy in good condition for $150 but that was also a few years ago and the price doesn't tend to go down
re: Best JRPG series?
@babbage 1 and 2, being 2d games, also emulate well on potato hardware, if you just want to play them
re: Best JRPG series?
@Felthry There's some cheaper copies on ebay, usually for ~$80, but only one of them I've seen so far is a guaranteed buy. Most of the others are auctions.
Also, I kinda get annoyed when I have to emulate things, so I'm probably gonna opt for hard copies
re: Best JRPG series?
@babbage *we own all of them, not we own both
actually just picked up IV a little while ago at a local used game store that apparently had a windfall of good ps2 games, as they'd just gotten in multiple copies each of suikoden 3, wild arms 3, suikoden 4, and final fantasy X, among others
