what's the most underrated JRPG of the 16 bit era?

>> No.3868898

Probably something not translated to English.

>> No.3869401

Relative to overrated Squaresoft games?

Probably Phantasy Star IV.

>> No.3869495

Lufia 2.

Ignore >>3869401, he posted the most overrated one relative to its quality on accident.

>>3869401
This, followed by Lunar II: Eternal Blue.

I'm pretty sure there are plenty of underrated PC Engine and non-Square Super Famicom Japan-only RPGs as well, things like Tengai Makyo which I've never played.

But OP, you posted a 32-bit JRPG, since the Mega Drive's CPU has 32-bit registers.

I'm a Nintendo fanboy and I still enjoyed PS4 but God, some areas and bosses are way too grindy.
The Macros were interesting though.

I actually switched to BSNES because I thought the encounter rate was an emulation bug. No, it's really supposed to be that high. Complete shit.

>some areas and bosses are way too grindy.

The fuck you on about? PS4 is one of if not THE least grindy RPG of it's generation. There are a number of side diversions and tricks that make getting stronger a breeze and macros sap all the tedium out of random battles

Damn, I think Romancing SaGa is something worth mentioning but the SNES version never made it to the west. Since I'm desperately looking for a translated version of the SNES trilogy could someone help me out? I know that the first game has been fully translated but I might screw up...or I'm just retarded.

>> No.3874052

are there any non-console JRPGs translated to English? Like PC-88 or PC-98 stuff?

Rance series
Farland Story series

Ys had some non-console entries translated
Sorcerian
Dragon Knight 3
Mad Paradox
Raidy 1+2
Cobra Mission
Castle Fantasia 2

And of course games like Dragon Slayer, Hydlide 1 or Xanadu that are practically completely in English.
