Odd how this topic comes up now.....I was just surfing around eBay and I just can't fathom how some folks (I'd bet some of you too) can pay the kinds of prices on games....especially RPGs.
I would have thought after FFVII's blockbuster success in 1997-1998, other titles would follow that path, but I guess anything from Konami and Enix (back when they were still seperate form Square) were difficult sellers. Plentiful and easy to find in the day, but now they're ridiculously rare and a bit overpriced .....I daresay overvalued in some cases.
PSX was indeed a grand time for RPGs though, I give it that. It merged the best of the 16 bit era with the updated capabilities of the 32/64-bit age without going all 3-d on us, such as with the likes of FF X and onwards.
Anyhoo.....the list:
- Suikoden I and II (I have III, IV and V already)
- Chrono Cross
- Breath of Fire III (I have IV already)
- Star Ocean: Second Story (Already have Till' The End of Time)
- Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (I know, it's not an RPG, but I'm probably one of the few who really liked CV II: Simons Quest back in my NES playing days....As great as I and III are, I want that sort of feel that II had again)
I'm on the fence with these.....I need more input on them before I decide to search for them:-
- Valkyrie Profile I (I have II already)
- Legend of Dragoon
Sometimes I hate living where I do. Not enough pawn shops or flea markets around me to sniff around for this stuff. eBay's great since i can just punch in the name directly, but its userbase just loves to jack up prices too high for my liking on some of these.
Eheh, sorry for mixing a little rant in with my list. I had to get it off my chest. It's one of my pet-peeves as a long-time gamer / collector of games.
