>PC broken
>can emulate up to DS/PS1 games on university computer accounts
>just beat pic related, thinking of trying FF: 4 Heroes of Light and some more RPGs
How was that game? And any suggestions for some good RPGs to emulate?

>>342457312
I just expected discussion to probably center around PS1 golden age era of JRPGs, hence the title.

>Old JRPG thread
Radiant Historia is fantastic but it's not "old" at all.
FF:4HoL is like the beta version of Bravely Default
like part for part the same but easier
play the GOAT PS1 jrpg
aka Vagrant Story
>>342457234
FFIX. It's the best one.

This is my favourite JRPG and one of my favourite games of all time.
I can't recommend it highly enough.
>>342457863
Why that game specifically? I've been meaning to try the SaGa series but I hear Minstrel Song is a good place to start and I can't find an undub patch.

It's a unique game even by SaGa series standards, and has, in my opinion, the best storytelling. It's set over 100 years centered around the story of two people and their descendants, and you get to play through lots of snippets of history as you build up the big picture. The gameplay is unforgiving, but it's more forgiving than a lot of SaGa games so I'd say you're good to start with it so long as you don't just go in expecting an easy ride.
If you choose to, all I can say is explore the first Wil dungeon THOROUGHLY. There are a couple of items you can miss that are incredibly valuable for basically the entire rest of the game.
Legend of (Galactic) Dragoon
Star Ocean 2 and/or Valkyrie Profile. Also this >>342459223
My favorite JRPG of all times will always be Seiken Dentetsu 3, if you can't decide on one from the huge list I gonna post of retro (and non retro in the case of DS and gba) JRPGs please play Seiken Dentetsu 3
Other games to emulate that aren't going to be mentioned in the thread (aka: less known) but that are confirmed jewels:
DS:
Soma Bringer
Glory of Heracles
Avalon Code

Phantasy star zero
Super robot taisen OG saga
SNES:
7th saga
Arabian Nights: Sabaku no Seirei
Breath of fire 2

The entire Seiken Densetsu series is pretty shitty. But SD3 is the least bad, I guess.
>>342464712I like Legend of Mana...The mana series is weird, it seems like all the 'fans' have a different game that is their favorite and don't like any of the other games nearly as much.
>>342457312
>>342457437
2012 was 27 years ago guys, I would say its old
>>342464712
eat dick
>>342464787
legend of mana is wonderful as well, but magic is shitty and it has a bit of a problem of "what the fuck am I supposed to do"
>>342457475
great game, easy to break, only hard part is when you need to recoveryour classes
>>342465048
honestly the whole combat system in LoM is kind of shitty. i just love everything else in that game enough to give the combat a pass.
>>342465261
but the combat system is the selling point
regardless, one thing is saying "I don't like Mana series", which is absolutely fine, but "the mana series are shit" isn't going to slide
I am playing DQII
Despite what everyone said this game is pretty rad. And you can clearly see the improvement from DQI going into this one
>Prince of Cannock dies again
>>342466354
