Star Ocean: Till the End of Time

Very underrated RPG that takes a very long time to truly mastre. I think I hit 305 hours to do everything.

Wow, glad some one likes the game as much as I did, the only games I reviewed (here that is).

i'm not trying to bash you guys or anything, but i absolutely hated that game.... with a passion.

you were always stuck doing these stupid tasks, then in the end, figuring out you didn't have to do them at all.

Plus the plot twist near the end was one of the most ridiculous things i've ever seen...

i like Star Ocean 2nd Story much better. again, i got nothing against you guys.

Yeah same, I didn't like till the end of time very much compared to the second story.

Morrowind, FFVI, Phantasy Star IV, and Kotor. In that order.

By the way, Oblivion was abig dissapoinment for me. Compared to Morrowind at least.

FFVII would be #1 for me. Also my favourite game ever made.the-very-best

Yeah, Final Fantasy VII is as close to a perfect game as it gets: great story, great music, great artwork, great chraracters. It's a shame that RPGs today are all about graphics and copying formulas that are proven to work. It reminds me of the movie industry's apparent motto "why do something new when offshoots and remakes sell just as well for less effort."

Just to be clear FFVII (despite how much I like the game) did a fair amount of copying. And there exist many RPG being released that do not copy (much, all JRPG inherently copy some)or even focus on graphics for that matter.

Oblivion fo shazizlezPepperpop10

Morrowind > Oblivion. Period.

Sure, Oblivion is more user-friendly, but Morrowind is a much better game.

Hey man what's your problem with that game? It's pretty awesome and is easily the best RPG for the GBA.

It reeks of Beyond the Beyond, it has a poor development system with little to no persistance, and seems to ride more on it's graphical ability (for the GBA it was relatively great looking) than anything else.

I disagree with it being the best RPG for the handheld as well.

Just one question: the Sega CD originals, or the "Complete" versions, SSS's one having substantial plot changes(such as "Nah, I won't kill you this time, I'll just use your life force to fuel my war machine instead"; not exactly a quote as it is one of those plot changes in SSS Complete)? Oh, and be sure to tell Bernie Stolar "(screw) YOU!" for me because he wouldn't let Working Designs translate the Saturn originals of those Complete remakes, forcing them to go to the PS1 versions instead when we could've had both.NamelessPlayer

Which ever is easier to come by, in all honesty having owned both, I really don't look back and say "hey those ones clearly sucked compared to these ones!"

It's a great franchise (just those two, which ever iterations) to experience regardless.

Yeah whatever it is one of my favorites RPGs of all time, it is an awesome game

I just remembered about a very obscure PC RPG called Albion, and am wondering if anyone else here has played it. Basically, it's in the future, when humanity has gained the means to venture into outer space. A planet rich in minerals has been found, and you're on a ship sent to colonize it. This planet turns out to be a typical fantasy world teeming with life, however. I haven't played it much-just dabbled in the beginning of the demo for a bit. However, those who have played it love it.NamelessPlayer

Albion? Isn't that a city in Fable?

Oh, and KotOR for me, or Final Fantasy VIII. But more KotOR. That game still amazes me for what it did.
