TerminalBlue posted:Also; Panzer Dragoon. Specifically the RPG, but at this point probably the shooters too. Despite having passed nearly completely out of the general gaming consciousness, some people are still all about it. Like me, because I'm a loser who never quite got over having a Saturn while all his friends had Playstations. A bunch of Saturn games fit the bill here. I really prefer free-walking beat-em-ups to the layer system in Guardian Heroes, but it's still a fun game and I was glad to see it get a re-release on systems people actually own recently. Several Square-Enix games that would've otherwise been cult hits or total retail failures just barely crested the wave of mainstream success, and Vagrant Story was one of them. It's a weird, difficult action RPG full of bad block puzzles and a story that's like a fantasy Metal Gear Solid with Hamlet references that actually passingly relate to the game's themes. The game's critical reception ranged from effusive praise (it was the 3rd game ever to get a perfect score from Japan's Famitsu magazine) to harsh ribbing (Lowtax actually tore the game apart on the frontpage once), and I'm confident it would've been a perfect example of a cult game if Square hadn't been riding high on FF7's success.
