SNES advice

[decimus]

........does anybody know any good SNES rpg's.....other than Chrono Cross, and Super Mario RPG....?

[Lance]

I think you mean Chrono Trigger, but I know some other RPGs.

Final Fantasy 2 (Originally FF4), Final Fantasy 3 (Originally FF6), Secret of Mana as an action-RPG, and if you like Secret of Mana a lot you can try Secret of Evermore (hey, -I- liked that game >_>)... Illusion of Gaia for another action-RPG, Earthbound for a funky RPG, and E.V.O.: Search for Eden for something that's loosley RPG but more platform/adventure.

[anjilfan]

Illusion of Gia and Earthbound were really good. And they still are

Umm... I forgot. There was this other really fuhn game that's like Secret of Mana. It involved a boy and a dog. It was a sorta hard game too. In the begining, they went into the far past. I forgot the rest...

EDIT:



I found out what the game was, and Lance had already said it. It's called Secret of Evermore. It's an awesome game

thanks guys! To *insert destination here*! away!! *flies off*

[Moot]

Don't link to ROMsites in your posts, it's against the board rules.

[decimus]

....not a link...... a link has www in it, i was simpy stating mu destination before flying off

[Moot]

Which happened to be in the form of "domainname.com" which is still a link, albeit not clickable. Decision stands.

Also, you might want to try:

Breath of Fire 1&2
Dragon Quest (Any)
Tales of Phantasia
Bahamut Lagoon

Okay, Bahamut Lagoon is not an RPG, but it's one of my favorite games. It's a tactical game, but then it's not.

[Lance]

RaYoshi, you just gained some cool points for knowing Secret of Evermore =P
Hmm... I should try some of the Dragon Quest games myself. And I feel silly for not remembering Bahamut Lagoon, which I didn't get into enough. I think it's because I got that around the time I got another good RPG, and didn't split my time between the two ^^;

[Not-Garr]

Yeah, Bahamut Lagoon -is- an RPG, don't listen to Ra. It's a cross between a Turn-Based Strategy(like Fire Emblem, which is another good game), and a traditional RPG, made by Squaresoft.

A good RPG, though not of the turn-based-stand-on-either-side-of-each-other kind is Wanderers fro m Ys. Be careful though, it's a brutally hard game.

Yes, don't listen to me. I just play games. LEVEL UP ! !

It is pretty hard though ;^^

Yeah if you're interested in things like Bahamut Lagoon and Fire Emblem you should also try out Front Mission.

That would make it a Tactical RPG. There -are- subcatagories and mixed genres of RPGs, such as Tactical RPG, Action RPG (Secret of Mana or Illusion of Gaia)...

...those are the only ones I know of offhand. I suppose other games have RPG elements, but aren't quite RPGs (Super Paper Mario)

...but then again, a 'Role Playing Game' would be any game where you act out as a character no matter the style of which you play it.

Either that, or I'm thinking too much.

Well the proper term for it from my experience is Turn-Based Strategy. And Bahamut Lagoon isn't pure TBS either, as unit-vs-unit battles are handled like a traditional RPG.

Generally when people call something an RPG, they mean something with an EXP system and levels. =P

Err.... The legend of Zelda: A Liknk To The Past ?
