Okay /v/ I want to get maximum comfy and play a new JRPG on my PS3. I'm looking for old school PS1 and PS2 JRPGs to download from PSN. What's a good one? I already have:
Final Fantasy VI
Final Fantasy VII
Final Fantasy VIII
Final Fantasy IX
Chrono Trigger
Grandia 1
Persona 3 FES
Persona 4
SMT Nocturne
What's a great one I don't have that I must play?
Grandia 2
I never understood Final Fantasy fans.
Inevitably, there is always a JRPG with funner gameplay on the same console that the new FF title has been released on. Do Final Fantasy fans play other RPGs? What happens when they inevitably play an RPG that has a combat system that is more intuitive and/or more involving leading to being more fun? If you are you a fan because of the stories and the teeny bop stuff I would say read a real novel with substance but its obvious you play the game to simply feel like you have some sort of part/control of the story. Are you a fan because of the art style/graphics/cut scenes? Then you're just a shallow faggot.
Digital Devil Saga 1 and 2
Raidou 1 and 2
>>337730076
Suikoden 1 + 2
>>337730202
>hat happens when they inevitably play an RPG that has a combat system that is more intuitive and/or more involving leading to being more fun?
that's the great thing about not being an autistic faggot
you can play both
>>337730202
> stop liking what I don't like! That's not a good enough reason!
If you like the idea of buffs and debuffs being useful, Nocturne is a pretty solid choice. It has a standout soundtrack.
>>337730214
This.
I also highly suggest you try Persona 2 IS & EP if you liked Persona 3 or 4. That's mainly for a good story though.
>>337730076
vagrant story is decent
fft is cool if you're into tactics
i remember liking breath of fire 3 i believe
oh, the dungeon mode in ehrgeiz was awesome
>>337730202
>You are only allowed to play one JRPG ever.
Legally retarded.
Lunar 1-2
>>337730076
>>337730163
This.
Not so much any further Grandia games though.
Hey /v/, lets change the subject just a little.
What would the the HRPG that everyone must play?
Violated Heroine?
>>337730202
I've played at least 14 SMT games, completed them all besides Raidou 2 and this was before I'd ever even touched FF. I've beaten 6 FF games in the past year and a half and they're definitely not worth passing up.
>>337731609
Monster Girl Quest
>>337730076
You forgot Final Fantasy V... They have a pirate ship with dragon as carthorse. Also more dragons.
Pretty much every PS1 jRPG game is a good one. I mean you can literally print every PSONE jRPG cover, stick it on your wall, throw a dart with your eyes closed and it's garanteed that it will land in a enjoyable game.
>>337731743
>>337731350
OP again. I've heard great things about Final Fantasy V and Suikoden 2. Which one is the better game?
>>337730076
Breath of Fire III and IV. You'd need a Vita/PSP for III but IV is on PSN. Anyone mentioning Grandia is also correct. There's also Alundra 1 and 2, Brave Fencer Musashi, Chrono Cross, Front Mission 3, Parasite Eve, and so much more that it'd be stupid to list everything here. Just Google "PS1 JRPGs" and you'll get results. Not everything I mentioned is on PSN, but you can emulate whatever you can't find.
>>337730076
Get some Shadow Hearts on there my good anon. I'd recommend all three but people tend to loudly disagree with me. At least Covenant (the second) though.
>>337730076
Dragon Quest 8. Thank me later.
>>337732321
Suikoden 2
Final Fantasy 5 is a really fun time, though. Both are solid games.
>>337733091
>Crt+F no Secret of Mana
I'm disappointed in all of you
>>337731609
Kamidori
>>337732321
Haven't played Suikoden, but FF5 is really good. Job system in that one is the bee's knees.
OP here
I decided to get Suikoden 2. Hope it's as great as everybody makes it out to be. Next up with definitely be Final Fantasy V. What can be my 3rd and final game? I don't wanna get too many JRPGs at once because it will take me months to finish
>>337734003
DDS1+2 is a perfect followup to Nocturne and they both have some of the best JRPG soundtracks ever.
Are there good jrpgs for this thing too? I want to give this poor box more life.
>>337734003
Nocturne
>>337730202
>What happens when they inevitably play an RPG that has a combat system that is more intuitive and/or more involving leading to being more fun?
Didn't exist on the NES or SNES thanks to FFI, III, IV, and V being among the best JRPGs on their consoles. This only became a problem starting with FFVI because you could go full retard and the game would still be brainless and easy.
>>337735062
He already has Nocturne, read the OP.
>>337734996
All the Etrian Odysseys
>>337734996
>>337735062
I already have Nocturne anon
>>337732321
Suikoden 2
Download PS1 classic Xenogears. It will seem a little slow by today's standards but the story is absolutely insane.
>>337730076
Lufia 2 was pretty damn good, especially if you like puzzle dungeons.
>>337734003
Disgaea 1 or 2, they're cheap and maximum comfy.
>>337734996
Between Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon and Etrian Mystery Dungeon you'll barely have a need for other games with all the hours you can sink into just those two.
>>337735786
Yeah, this is pretty much the hidden jewel of the SNES JRPGs. This and FFV really are on a different level.
Wild Arms 3 is coming to PS4 soon.
Just thought I'd let y'all know.
>>337730076
Beyond the Beyond
![631006-lenneth_wallpaper__2_[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/HdXexWO.jpg "631006-lenneth_wallpaper__2_[1].jpg")
Come to me, dark warriors; battle awaits us!
>>337737216
Literally impossible to get the best ending without a guide holy shit.
Still a great game, though.
Final Fantasy VII.
May or may not be the best game here but it's a touchstone of gaming that must be experienced.
>>337736863
Every jrpg fan knows Lufia.
There are no hidden gems on the SNES except stuff that never got released outside of Nihongoland.
>>337737542
It's not given the respect it deserves. It's probably the best JRPG on the system besides FFV.
Final
Fantasy
TACTICS
Potentially best JRPG ever made.
>>337737730
I like how much more respect FFV gets these days at least.
I remember in the 90s and even 2000s it was treated like the SNES redheaded stepchild, it was nothing but IV vs. VI and VI vs. VII fans every thread.
But these days you see lots of people saying it's one of the best FF games. And it is.
>>337738328
Bootleg TO.
>>337738518
At least FFT makes you wait for Orlandeau, Calculators and late game gear to press the IWin button.
Instead of just archers and Canopus with a healer, a mage and a couple of knight tanks.
>>337738506
Four Job Fiesta definitely helped.
>>337738760
Orlandeau and calculators are just meme, a monk with 2hand skill is better than them.
>>337738807
So did the GBA ports, even if some people shit on them.
Before anyone mentions the PS port, no, it did little to popularize FFV.
>>337730214
The PSN versions of these are pretty fucked.
>>337738328
Not sure if lewd
Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky 1 and 2
>>337732321
Suikoden 2 is better, but FFV probably has the best gameplay depth of the entire FF series.
>>337730076
Jrpgs not as on Roku J RPG only signifies that it's come out of Japan. A lot of RPGs come out of Japan and they have a very different play Styles. Simply calling them jrpgs is very ignorant, as it does nothing to describe the game. Please educate yourself next time you decide to post.
>>337739575
It's just two gal pals sneaking around! Nothing lewd aboot that!
>>337740301
>the 99% of people who have been using the term that way for 20 years are wrong because I'm a special snowflake
Not to mention the fact that OP never said anything that contradicts your "point," nor did he exclude any genres.
But you saw a list of traditional turn-based/console-style jap rpgs and it triggered your contrarian autism.
>>337730076
Kamidori
Sengoku Rance
Bunny Black
Bunny Black 2
Castle Fantasia
Rance VI (if it was translated)
>>337730202
>If you are you a fan because of the stories and the teeny bop stuff
First of all, who the fuck plays an RPG for anything other than the story??
>I would say read a real novel with substance
Second of all, kill yourself immediately. RPGs are a huge improvement over novels as a means of storytelling. Just because you're an edgy contrarian hipster who thinks people should read novels for the story instead doesn't take away from that simple FACT.
Here's another fact for you while I'm at it: Reading is for learning. Anyone who reads anything besides non-fiction is a literal double-digit IQ retard. Play RPGs instead if you want a story.

DRPG, WRPG and MMO fans.

Why?
any DnD themed JRPG ? Besides really old NES games
>>337737542
Inindo: Way of the Ninja
>relatively massive open world filled with disparate petty lords fighting and scheming against eachother, most of whom don't give two fucks about the PC beyond being a mere mercenary
>game has meaningful time progression that affects gameplay (spying on an enemy castle works better at nighttime, etc.), and deadlines for completing mercenary assignments
>able to influence and join in the lord's warfare and scheming to get prefered lords better status, even leading troops in a Romance of Three Kingdoms style battlefield combat
>personal battles are interesting and tactical, dealing with character placement, distance, and what weapon types and/or magic tricks are availible
>nearly a hundred individual NPCs with their own disposition to the PC, and can do various actions and live their lives completely independently of the PC
>said NPCs can be permanently killed in battle (after falling in battle, the PC and NPCs become wounded, where they will die if they are defeated again without convalescing)
>most NPCs live their lives independently of the PCs actions, and their motives can vary on different playthroughs (although there are several that always have certain motives or objectives)
>was released on SNES
Downsides:
>shit graphics even for its time
>main storyline is horribly linear
>no customization of the player character
I submit that Inindo: Way of the Ninja is the most dynamic JRPG of the SNES era, and possibly the most dynamic game of that era. And unlike the Lufia whiners, Inindo had almost zero printed information about it (while Lufia 2 had a cover page main feature Nintendo Power issue about it, so if anyone was even remotely a Nintendo fan in the early 90s was aware of the Lufia series).
>>337734003
nigger you better have already played suikoden 1
>>337744476
There's also Robotrek and Brandish for decent lesser known ones.
>no mention of Folklore
It's one of the best PS3 JRPGs.
>>337745214
Yeah wasn't Brandish closer to a dungeon crawler though? That was the one that was 3/4 top-down view and you turned with the L/R shoulder buttons, right? I liked it.
>>337731609
>anything but sengoku rance
