its sad that while im at college i don't have access to my beautiful collection of epic RPG's for PS1 and 2. Besides the big names of Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, and Xenosaga (all of which i love dearly), i would also add the Suikoden games (1 and 2 are EXTREMELY hard to find but they are worth it) and Legend of Dragoon

 

[Paper]

favs:
Suikoden 1-5 (in order: 2-1-5-4-3)
Xenogears
Legend of Legaia
Legaia 2
Lunar: SSS
Breath of Fire 3 & 4
Pokemon silver
TES III: Morrowind (with tribunal and bloodmoon)
Legend of Dragoon
Diablo II
Baaldurs Gate II
Zelda 64: Ocarina of Time
Zelda: Twilight Princess

Wow level, your LEAST favorite Suikoden is 3?? Damn... you even like 4 better??

I really want to get into 4, but I just can't control that damn ship.

Pretty good list you have though.

 

[sahugani]

all of the suikodens are great, but my ranking would be 2-3-1-5-4

why thank you kind sir! as for the ship in 4...well it is kinda hard to control at first, all i do is use the accellerate button and the left/ right directional buttons to steer. once i've had the location marked on my map i just use the autopilot. lol.

i didn't get into 3 too much since it lacked the one thing i loved about the series: collecting characters. i mean the enemies are SoD's? wtf? besides that i found it a little too ambituous, and i also didn't like the buddy system they had in battle formations.

oh btw..i've been aching to ask this for quite some time now: what do the different colors in your ranks mean?

i liked 3 cause i enjoyed getting to see the various perspectives and the cast of villains is my favorite due to it's connections to the past issues.

and if you are talking about the star colors, the green means we are moderators on our respective topics (i'm a One Piece mod). other colors denote various other staff positions

 

[Paper]

oh i see, thanks for the info...it oddly reminds me of the military....

three had a good storytelling system going on, but i really hated some aspects of the game as a whole
1. less characters to recruit (there were a lot of "buy one take one" situations)
2. easier recruitment
3. buddy system in party formation
4. the fact that everyone looked like midgets...
5. the story was pale in comparison to the other games

thouhg i did love the whole "trinity site" thing going on, and the option wherein you get to control Luc's party, and even koroku. plus this was the installment that introduced the whole "personal skill" aspect of the series, which i loved...but it's still not that great of a game for me. i take it you like geddoe's view and ending better than the rest?

the thing i liked most about 3 was that more than any other (except 2) it made a strong effort to tie its storyline to the others to more effectively create the effect of a combined and flowing history and backstory within the game.

and actually i liked Hugo's story most, then Geddoe, then Chris (but did not dislike any). Geddoe just made for the coolest sig. if anyone, i'd have wanted Bob from S2 or Futch from S3

good point, it acts as a pretty good glue to bind the history together. i just found it a tiny bit too ambituous for the first of it's kind on a new system. i liked geddoe's story best since it deviated from the cliched hero story, and geddoe himself was more of an anti-hero than a hero. personally i'd use Viktor with the SDS for a sig...he's always been my favorite character.

I loved the three different viewpoints for Suikoden 3, that was my favorite part about it.

And how do you use autopilot on 4? This could change my whole viewpoint....

 

[Paper]

^ go to the map screen and click on the island you wanna go to... it's not really "autopilot" per-say since youo still have to steer left/ right to avoid certain things.... it's more like a "i'll just keep going straight and hopfully get there" thing... or you could just use viki?

Dragon Quest

Wow, I remmebred now, that 4/5 years ago I played on Snes DQ 5 or 6, i can't really remember, and it was one of those games, which are beatiful in everything ^^ Ahh sentiments xD

Pokemon silver

hehe you know, I really liked Pokemon Red/Blue (this first ones) and Silver/Gold. There were queite good for a game hyhy ^^

 

[Paper]

^ i never really got into red/blue since i got yellow before i got blue (weird ain't it?)...

 

[Venom65437]

Well, I'll try to remember that then... Suikoden 4 is VERY low on my list of games to play right now.

 

[Paper]

aww... give it a shot!

 

[SilvaShado]

I really liked Suikoden 4. I like the ship, sure it was bit annoying to pilot at first, but it got better, especially when you no longer have to fight enemies. Forgot what it was that did that, though. It's been a couple of years since I played it. But I liked having a ship to contain all my characters.

As for the Dragon Quest games, I rather enjoyed 3 for the Gameboy. The only game I've ever played where being female meant you could have the best stats (sexy). ^_~
