/vr/ - Retro Games

There has only been a single video game that has given me a sense of adventure. While many other games you're on an adventure, in Romancing SaGa: Minstrel Song I felt like I was the one crafting it rather than being lead on it. Trying to piece together the world, obtaining quests, figuring the quests out, and exploring the world is great. The battle mechanics are excellent as well.

If you wanted PS1/N64/Saturn or earlier then I couldn't recommend Romancing SaGa 2 enough. You're an emperor and you bring territories under your control by solving their conflicts and face off against the seven heroes.

Be warned, they don't hold your hand and it's normal to feel lost so it won't appeal to everyone. If you tough it out you might find something you really enjoy.
