I'm looking over lists and poo poo and I can't find anything that's deemed acceptable to play. There's only garbage like Secret of the Stars and other half assed abominations. I've got Final Fantasies 1-6, as well as Dragon Quest 1-6, I've got stuff like Secret of Mana, Secret of Evermoore, Illusion of Gaia, Shining in the Darkness, Shining Force 1 and 2, Phantasy Stars 1-4, breath of Fire 1 and 2, Paladin Quest, Chrono Trigger, Mother 2/Earthbound, Sword of Vermillion, Super Mario RPG and probably others I'm forgetting.


But I mean that's it every single thing that someone could make an abomination out of with stupid fan art I've experienced. There is nothing left in this classic gaming era to play.

May as well quit while you're ahead, OP. The RPG quality-to-poo poo ratio takes a nosedive after the 16-bit era.

That wasn't released in America. Because I thought of that but import prices are loving screwy right now due to Japan having an actual 18th century banking system. I'm glad I imported Bahamut Lagoon before everything went to poo poo though.

Maybe it's time to move on to the Handheld era of good RPGs, either that or move onto the good PC Rpgs like Arcanum or Baldur's Gate

Time to have Skyrim be played in the way it was always meant to be, as an isometric view game with sprites that look like vague objects.

There already was a 16-bit Skyrim, it was called Golden Sun. It has all the essential Skyrim characteristics: Norse imagery, caves, boredom.

bof2 has really cool mechanics in that you can make your party members stop being useless

the best part of the game is the last hour though and i can't recommend any game that does that

play the poo poo out of 4 it's one of the best looking + coolest jrpgs ever

i couldn't get anywhere in it the one time i tried in like 2000 i don't think i really understood what you're supposed to do aside from grind to make progress. Also the sound track sounded like a bela fleck album.

good times.
