Some of the most loveable characters in a game series ever. Gameplay is a bit lacking in the first game but everything else kept me playing. I also love La Pucelle which is vaguely connected (the sky pirate guy is a descendent of the Marl royals).

Really a charming game.
For extra challenge, you can also try to "release" the puppets' soul by solving their story. But it's a little depressing to keep them afterwards.

Can you at least not boast about pirating games? Normies always buy the crap made for them, a lot of people here don't do the same time. Mainstream games have become worthless trash because of this.
We have people on /v/ complaining about how Sega made (and cancelled) that hideous Hyenas games instead of making a new Shining, Ecco, Skies of Arcadia, Virtua Fighter... As if they would have supported new entries of those games instead of just pirating them.

Not boasting about piracy, just stating that I won't buy the games since I already own Rhapsody and Little Princess on the psx.

The little bit of stretch on the fabric between her armpit and her massive boob is, to me, like one of the hottest things I've ever seen in that pic. Prier in general is one of my all time top faves and it's a shame her classic look doesn't have more art, porn or otherwise.
For Rhapsody though, Marjoly.
Wish there was art of her as 'haggard' as she supposedly looks. Chubby bimbo MILFs are hot.

Ryoji has done some art but nothing with the Marl Kingdom characters. Of course I can't post them here for obvious reasons.
I still weirded out by myself because these games made me realize I have a fetish for lolis with super thicc thighs.

Outside of that, the Marl Kingdom games has really charming art, music and overall a style across the board. Haven't seen games with similar atmosphere.

It's dogshit. I tried it last year. Story/setting/style is Rhapsody minus the soul, combat is the most insanely RNG combat I've ever seen in a JRPG. Pure luck will determine whether you 1turn wipe a random encounter or GET 1turn wiped.

The characters, world and story are where the Rhapsody games excel. The gameplay is fine in 2 and 3, but don't expect much from 1 in that department.
