/vr/ - Retro Games

Probably.

Given that it's a Nintendo character, Square was forced to make a game with engaging gameplay instead of an attempt to be Disney.

For me, it's this.

>>8499315
no

>>8499315

>>8499315
I liked Inindo

The story sucks and the combat isn't even that interesting, but it has all this extra ninja ass shit you can do like burn a prefecture's food supply or poison the water or whatever, and then halfway through the game opens up and you realize you were actually playing like a Nobunaga's Ambition style strategy game the whole time, except you were just one guy instead of a daimyo, and now that you're important enough you start advising daimyos and controlling battlefield strategy and stuff

>>8499367
Sounds badass. I never played it very far because it seemed so basic

>>8499315
daisuke hambagah!

DQ5 SFC is simply much inferior to its remakes

>>8499331
What engaging gameplay? The game is easy as shit and "press jump upon attacking" nonsense is something only ADHD kids can enjoy, it adds nothing to it being RPG, and if anything hinders the game.

>>8499414

>>8499430
WOW!! IF YOU CLICK A MARIO JUMPS AND YOU GET AN EXTRA ATTACK! WHAT ENGAGING GAMEPLAY, ITS JUST LIKE IN MARIO. MUCH BETTER THAN ACTUAL RPG MECHANICS LIKE CHARACTER CUSTOMIZATION OR RESOURCE MANAGEMENT

>>8499315
Kys

DUAL ORB 2

If I've never played any RPGs outside of Zelda and Pokémanz, and I wanted to play a SNES JRPG to see what all the fuss is about, which would you recommend?

>>8499469
>Seething cope

>>8499497
Chrono Trigger

>>8499497
Super Mario RPG
Chrono Trigger
Final Fantasy III

>>8499507
Two votes for Chrono Trigger so far.

>Final Fantasy III
Not VI or IV?

>>8499515
He's a boomer who refuses to call FFVI FFIII cuz that's how they localized it in the US.

The answer is Chrono Trigger. It was specifically devised to be newcomer friendly.

>>8499331
>Square was forced to make a game with engaging gameplay instead of an attempt to be Disney.
And yet they still went on define what would become Bowser's personality from that point on

>>8499414
You lvl up enough any rpg is easy. Have sex son

>>8499521
>He's a boomer who refuses to call FFVI FFIII
Do you mean the other way around?

>Chrono Trigger. It was specifically devised to be newcomer friendly.
I'll probably play Chrono Trigger then, thanks.

>>8499541
>You lvl up enough any rpg is easy
Levellng up is supposed to be a last resort for retards who can't beat the game using the resources available. Point is Mario RPG lacks interesting RPG mechanics like customization, planning or resource management. It's an RPG for people who don't like RPGs.

>>8499562
>It's an RPG for people who don't like RPGs.
No, that's SaGa. You can tell because they shit on every other RPG in existence and full of shit taste because they think they're 'hardcore'

Why would you ask the question if you already know the answer

>>8499572

>Ugly and lazy sprite work
>The story is ridiculous
>Boring party combat rotation
>Pacing is atrocious, the game does not flow well
>The annoying delay of the camera man
>switching character perspectives
>deaths from artificial difficulty spikes
>enemies rushing to initiate battles
>backtracking

I am not surprised Earthbound was a flop when it released,

>>8499572
OP here. Extremely drunk haha. You're 99.8 percent right, but my 7 bday gift disagrees

What would be a recommendation for something with little emphasis on story/dialog? Besides Mario.

Wait, if people are saying chrono trigger counts, then I'm going to change my answer to Secret of Evermore. So many great things and so few flaws in this game. I wish I could play it for the first time again

>>8499697
Dragon Quest 1+2 and then III

>>8499315
it's CT, but SMRPG is 99th percentile

>>8499487
Absolutely based

Not original choices, but Final Fantasy VI and Chrono Trigger are my favorites. Followed by Lufia 2, Secret of Mana, and Super Mario RPG.

There's so many good SNES RPGs though, including a bunch that weren't released in English back in the day. Romancing SaGa 3 and Live A Live are great.

>>8499315
No.

>>8499315
I honestly didn't enjoy SMRPG as much as I thought I would when I first tried it. I expected it to be something super special and I was just kinda let down. On my list of favorite RPGs it's definitely lower on the list

>>8499501
>Arresting

>>8500370
>On my list of favorite RPGs it's definitely lower on the list

Shit taste confirmed.

Zelda ofc

>>8499315
Lufia 2

>>8500370
>I expected it to be something super special
Do retards really still do this? Going into games with super high expectations? It never works out.
Glad I'm not as retarded as you at least

This is the only correct answer. The fusion system is superior

>>8500628
It's on my backlog to finally play in 2022.

>>8500628
I love Breath of Fire 2 so much but a lot of bitches around here whine about having to grind too much or whatever.

not an rpg. now that a I think about it, the snes doesnt have any rpgs whatsoever. most of the games are adventure games at best with leveling systems slapped on.

>>8500563
What's special about it beyond "haha mario"

>>8500801
>genre name autism
Cope.
The only use for games to be label a certain genre is to give people an idea of what to expect and you're 30 years too late to dissuade the notion that RPGs means stats and level ups
>>8500825
Not him but the writing is consistently charming with a nice simple story, it pretty much defined Bowser and Peaches (to a lesser degree) personality going forward and Geno and Mallow are both enjoyable, the combat is fun enough to keep you engaged with the way attacking and blocking works, there's a lot of side content to enjoy and lots of hidden things to collect and even a few amusing mini-games and puzzles to complete to break everything up for you.
I hate to use memes but it's honestly packed with a lot of SOUL and such. I don't know if I'd personally consider it the best RPG on the SNES but it's a very good game regardless.

>>8500841
seeth lol ywnbaw also trump lost get over it

>>8500848
>buzz words
About what I expect from a good chunk of the posters here these days.

>>8500841
>I hate to use memes but it's honestly packed with a lot of SOUL and such.
but there are so many SNES RPGs that have that, and many of them have either good RPG mechanics (FFV) or good stories (DQV) on top of that. I just couldn't get into Mario RPG...

>>8500862
Personally I think the mechanics in SMRPG are great and the story is nothing epic but it's enjoyable and has a lot of effort put into the writing to make it lovable but there's no shame if it's not clicking for you.

>>8500356
That game was pretty good. Nowhere near the GOAT retro RPG though

>>8499315
tactics ogre

>>8500356
Speaking of a game that actually did have too much stupid grinding in it for no reason.
What were they thinking with the English version? Otherwise it's a neat little game but damn.

>>8499315
OP wasn't a faggot for once.
