I'm planning on playing all the SNES RPGs and was thinking of just doing them in order of release date. Is this a bad idea? Should I just skip this one because everybody says it's bad? Was thinking of skipping Mystic Quest too because people say the same thing.

FF4 and MQ are both fun. People are just overly critical of them cause of generation wars and FF5fags seething over 4 being more mainstream popular.

>> No.8917930

If all you do is think about playing games rather than playing them, you're going to end up shitposting on /v/ until you die.
FF2 is a good start, honestly. Great music and atmosphere, it's not difficult, decent story.
Lufia 2 is a really good one, you could do that next. Get to it, anon.

Is not a bad idea. 4 is fantastic though, and my favorite from the snes trilogy. You will find out that people prefer 6 for the story and 5 for the mechanics however.

Skip Lagoon, FF4, MQ, Soul Blazer, and Lufia 1, everything else is fine.

>> No.8918035

If you plan to play all of something, then start omitting stuff before you've even started, then there's already no reason to continue. Just play whatever you want at that point, since that's the direction you're heading anyway.

Release date order is based and "everybody" are a bunch of fucking faggots and you should never listen to them. You might notice how good the presentation in this game is compared to other RPGs from 91 and earlier, instead of anime fags crying about the characters being bad, or autists whining about how it's not hard enough becuase it can be completed without grinding random mobs.

Better research the translation first to see how badly the internet fags butchered it. You might be better with with moonrunes you can't understand.

Mystic Quest has one of the best soundtrack of any SNES game ever, and it's honestly a lot of fun if you don't try to treat it like FFIV or FFVI.

If you emulate, FFV has the best gameplay out of the SNES options, and the class system is where Bravely Default came from. Story is unfortunately a bit weak though.

Anyways, doesn't seem like they did. Modern AAA games do everything JRPGs used to be known for (XP, stats, exploration, story sequences) but in a full 3D action game. But while you can find tons of retro-styled platform games, turn-based JRPGs are very niche.

FFIV is great. Maybe you heard people complaining about the original English version, since it has some changes simplifying it. You can play the original version in English now easily though if you're interested.

Tards want to emulate on their phones, so JRPGs are the only things they can actually play on the shitty touchscreen.

Been there, done that. Translations are still the better choice. Also translation flame wars are fucking pathetic. That's coming from someone who actually had a foreign language degree and did some translating.

Yes it was facetious, although that's a really puzzling choice of reaction image. I originally made the image during a discussion about the GBA version of FF5 and I think I was showing the difference in menu layouts between each game. FF4 was just there for reference (and I have no clue why I took a screenshot of a red mage meaning there are 9 spells in 12 slots for the SNES version).

Fantastic Idea. Love the simplicity of early SNES JRPGs. They feel like 16-bit revamps of 8-bit JRPGs.

Ff5 with the GBA script is fun

No other jrpgs hold up. Too much slanty eyed retardation

FF4 was quite a leap forward in storytelling. Unprecedented in gaming, maybe, with its ensemble cast, huge array of events and settings, and a focus main character's development right up to the very end.
