/vr/ - Retro Games

Not sure I'd say it's essential, but I do think that any JRPG fan with access to PS1 games, be it physical (in which case, be aware this one's pricy) or emulation, should at least give it a try. Especially considering how well it still holds up, given how smoothly it plays (also still petty damn good in a lot of other ways, besides maybe the English dubbing, which while not great isn't exactly too bad either). Japanese release date of November 30th, 2000, US release date of September 10th, 2001 (with Europe and PAL areas finally seeing it in February 2006 via PSP port).

I've seen a few non /vr/ games people here are reasonably open to discussing, such as Wild Arms 3 in Wild Arms threads, or Shadow Hearts in Koudelka ones. Still, I'm not sure people want the bulk of discussion for either series to be about their non /vr/ entries.

But yeah, I agree that the situation for sixth gen discussion could be better. Not saying that it should be allowed here and encouraged on /vr/ (at least as of now, and I know some hope consoles newer than the Dreamcast are never allowed to see discussion; and even then Dreamcast discussion seems to be an iffy topic for some), but between it being generally too old for much discussion on /v/ beyond recommendation threads and too recent for /vr/, it doesn't really have much of a home. And even the few attempts at starting some general variants on /vg/ died quick deaths from what I saw. I digress though.
