>Saga Frontier
>Grandia
>Xenogears
>Lunar
>Wild Arms
>Star Ocean

I'm going to have fun?

[Leafhopper !LC2Thorn2I No.1166665]

Lots of fun.

Assuming you are playing the first game in all of those games that aren't LoM or Xeno.

Dunno how well Grandia 1 holds up now though.

[Anonymous No.1166664]

Not without this.

Otherwise, yes, lots of fun.

You'll have even more fun if your throw Breath of Fire 3 in the mix. Promise. ;)

Depends on how much free time you have and how tolerant you are towards cutscenes.

good man, good man.

Agreed. Breath of Fire 3 had beautiful graphics and the soundtrack blows me away. It also has ultra tight gameplay. Throw in all the dragon genes and you have a must-own RPG. One of the best and underrated games ever.

Put Suikoden I and II on the list.
Both relatively short games so it won't bite into your time too bad.

I prefered BoF4, such a unique setting with beautiful design and graphics

[Anonymous No.1168085]

>>1168075

I agree. Even though I think the gameplay and story in BoF3 are a tad better, 4's presentation easily takes the cake

dragon quarter is the best bof game though

>Super Squad Trac Tactics Force II: Tales of the Light Prism
A rare find, gotta keep your eyes peeled for that one. I picked it up for about $30 at a yard sale few years back.

Seconded on SSTTF2:TotLP. A lesser known hit.

[Anonymous No.1168296]

Not one Dragon Quest game? But it's the series that all JRPGs are based on. I highly recommend DQ4 if you start any of them.

[Anonymous No.1168307]

>>1168296
It goes without saying. Everyone should play at LEAST the 4th.

[Anonymous No.1168364]

>>1168126
This, holy shit. I feel like I have a pretty good amount of free time but I can't set schedules like that up or I get burnt out instantly.

[Anonymous No.1168368]

That's too many games in one month. you're not gonna make it.
Break that list down to 2-3 games

He doesn't have a job or social life, anon. He's probably going to wind up having nothing to do for three or four days.

[Anonymous No.1168421]

Oh I love 3 but I feel to truly love 3 you have to play 1 and 2. Since it makes the world of 3 all that much amazing. I just feel IV is a great game on its own.

[Anonymous No.1168425]

>>1168421
This.

4 stands on its own. 3 is definitely a good game, but to appreciate it today you'd really want to get your feet wet with a different game and learn to love the series first.

[Anonymous No.1168434]

>>1168425
That's not what I meant. III can easily be played nowadays. Hell I feel it's much better then IV. But 1-3 are part of a grand story. III can be played on its own and you will have an amazing adventure but a lot of the references that was in I and II will be lost.

[Anonymous No.1168435]

>>1168434
That is what you meant. To appreciate it fully today you'd want learn the series first.

Yeah it's an awesome game and you don't NEED to play 1 and 2. But you really should play 1 and 2 first. 1 and 2 are hard games for somebody green to enter the series on.

So, play 4. Come back and tackle 1, 2, and 3 when you're ready.
