Topic: tell me about these RPGs

[X]

by the way, do you guys suggest I play Radical Dreamers? I heard it's a "sort of" sequel or prequel, I'm curious about it.

All evidence I've seen about Radical Dreamers points to being the sequel of Chrono Trigger. It was out for the Super Famicom so finding a rom shouldn't be a hassle.

Meanwhile has anyone mention phantasy star yet or lagrange point for the famicom yet?

Oh yes! The Phantasy Star series is another good one. I've never finished any of them but i still play it occasionally. Lagrange Point I've never heard about till now. It's interesting to note that the stylisation of the music reminds me of Captain Bucky 'O' Hair. Also a Konami title. So I'm wondering if it too was making use of that sound chip.

I think my favorite FF is the original Tactics for PS-X. I haven't tried the updated versions/sequel, though. Are they any good?

The PSP version (War of the Lions) suffers slowdown when certain skills are used, but I suppose the extra content makes up for it. YMMV on the new translation.
As for other FFT games, I'd recommend A2. It's a major improvement in many aspects compared to Advance, although the game's rather easy to break sideways quite early.

Final Fantasy 12 is also set in the same world as Final Fantasy Tactics/Vagrant Story but it's not a direct sequel. Also I've heard a lot of people don't like the MMO-like battle system.
I've heard Phantasy Star really gets good with the second entry so you might want to start there. I usually start at the beginning though so I bought Phantasy Star 1 but right after that the AC adapter to my Sega Master System broke lol. And I only recently got a replacement.

If you want to play the original Final Fantasy (and/or Final Fantasy 2, which has more of an actual story) I recommend Final Fantasy Origins for the PS1. Apparently it is a more complete/proper port (from the wonderswan color, a Japan-only handheld) and less an emulation so it doesn't suffer from the same loadtime problems many of the other PS1 FF compilations did. It also fixes some of the problems with the arcane controls of the original. i.e. in the Origins version if you're set to attack a monster and it dies you attack the next monster over rather than wasting your turn. Also dig that high-quality midi music.

Goddang it what the hell is that kingu!!?

Shin Megami Tensei, aka Devil Summoner, is a famous RPG series that plays like a mix of dungeon crawler and Pokemon. Rather than capturing cute critters and raising them into ugly beasts, you capture cute demons and fuse them with other cute demons to make ugly archdemons and radiant gods.

devil summoner is a sub-series. the raidou kuzunoha games in it actually feature a real-time battle system.

fun fact: megami tensei predates pokemon

I have a question Jorge. Have you ever made some tales of remixes? If not what songs would you do fom that series?

[Jorge D. Fuentes]

Fighting of the Spirit!!!!!!
I have the OST of Tales of Symphonia but I don't think I can top what they did.  Maybe I can do some Tales of Phantasia stuff but to be honest, from that entire series I've only played Symphonia, Dawn of the New World, and a little of Eternia.  At one point in the past I got somewhat far in Phantasia but then I suddenly stopped playing and now I cannot find my save file.

Got about half way in symphonia,abyss,and vesperia, not that far into phantasia. For some reason I thought to my self that you might have done a remix based on this song

This is just a horrid lie. It's just a money grab.
