Give me your favorite GBA RPG
>>340035472
my second favorite
>>340036012
Good taste
>still waiting for the third to get translated
>>340036159
there's a third one ??
Here's a game I could have loved but didn't take the time to learn.
>>340036419
Yeah, it never got an English translation though.
>>340036419
Is this Advance Wars in the Middle Ages?
>>340036634
advance wars meets soul nomad meets fire emblem ? I don't remember much about it, but what I know is that the developers made Riviera (which I love) and Knights in the Nightmare (which I am currently playing through and loving), so when I'm done with it, I'm giving it another chance.
Golden Sun
>>340036981
It has a really steep learning curve, but god damn is it worth it. PSP version is better.
>>340036981
You might like Gungnir for PSP then. Made the same devs and is in the same series as Riviera and Yggdra Union.
>>340035472
It sure as hell isn't that piece of shit god damn I am tired of using these 1-use rapiers on the designated grinding enemies
>Blaze Union and Gloria Union will never get translated in your lifetime.
If you count any game that can run on the GBA then Final Fantasy Legend II easily.
>>340037135
>Dept. Heaven games aren't made anymore
>>340039000
do you know why?
>>340039629
I'm guessing too niche so not enough profit or reasons to fund them. It's on the list of impossible things I expect from TGS every year.
>>340035472
Golden Sun
It's a shame about this "Golden Sun was never good" meme that has been propagated lately
Golden Sun TLA
>>340035472
That game is pretty good, I have it on PSP as well as GBA
>>340039853
I never played Golden Sn but I really love the Shining Force series which was made by the same peeps
>>340039000
I seriously hope this is a lie
>>340039853
Either it didn't age well or the "too popular so we must hate it" thing 4chan does, I'm guessing.
Never played it myself, looks like fun.
How's the sequel?
>>340039853
>Golden Sun was never good
It wasn't though, it was average at best, and it was a typical example of babbies first jrpg
Is shining soul 2 any good guys?
>>340035472
>>340036012
All of them
plus Golden Sun
>>340041025
Yes. Extremely good. Surprisingly deep.
>>340040687
Maybe so, but it was a "standard" RPG on a platform/during a time when there weren't really that many of them. It's one of my favorites forever.
So too are Fire Emblem 7 and 8. And Final Fantasy V.
>>340041025
yes it's fucking fun
>>340039883
I've tried emulating GS 1-2 but for some reason the passwords never work when transferring my 1 data over to 2.
>inb4 "you must've made a mistake inputting the password somewhere!"
Nigger I was ten billion percent sure there were no mistakes.
Is this something to do with the emulator/emulating GS in general? Has anyone ITT been able to do it or had this problem?
>>340041535
you could always download vbalink and just transfer stuff
Always used that to evolve pokemons that evolve during trade
>>340041631
I suppose so. Last time I tried was in 2011; it's probably worth giving it another look.
>>340040687
Nah, it's better than your favorite RPG on pretty much every level.
>>340035472
Jesus, I forget what an amazing library GBA had without delving into "half is shovelware" like DS did.
>>340042061
It's a shame there were no original Mario games.
>>340041990
No.
>>340040660
TLA is 10/10 and a great example of what a sequel should be.
DD is totally superfluous and can largely be ignored.
>>340036981
I try knights in the nightmare on my 3ds, such a clusterfuck of info and easy to miss important stuff.
>>340036012
What fucking game is this you retard? How are we supposed to play it idle we don't know it's name
Golden Sun is much better when you make use of a turbo button on an emulator.
>>340042498
Google Image Reverse Search.
>>340042275
It's deep.
>>340042061
There is a LOT of shovelware on the GBA, though, to be quite fair.
>no mention of mother 3 in this thread
Please consider your life choices.
>>340042498
Summon Night but I don't know which one
>>340042859
Didn't like it.
>>340042859
never played
>>340042664
Yesssss
>>340035472
That game is so underrated.
>>340042498
Summon night 2
>>340042404
Just do the tutorial, everything is explained.
>>340042664
is that worth playing
If I can count GBC games since they run on GBA it would be Dragon Quest III, if not Shining Soul II
>>340035472
>>340036012
>>340041198
>>340043578
Mighty good taste in this thread.
>>340043504
Was it better than SN1? I had alot fun playing 1, but was kinda bummed out I coulndt get some lesbian sprite trying to get me into bed.
>>340035472
Superstar Saga was one of the best RPGs in the GBA but the two Dept. Heaven games hold a special place in my heart.
I do wonder how Knights in the Nightmare and Gungnir turned out.
>>340039000
Fuck this world.
>>340039629
Bad sales, even in Japan. Gungnir sold like shit both in and out of Japan.
>>340040623
Unfortunately, it is and kinda isn't. It's been years since the last Dept Heaven game released and Sting hasn't said anything at all about it so it's safe to assume it's dead.
>Shining Soul 2 mentioned several times
Better late than never that this game gets the recognition it deserves.
>>340043810
Can't believe it took this long for someone to name the best GBA RPG.
>>340043998
>what the fuck does this have to do with ja--
Clever.
>>340043810
Knights in the Nightmare is a masterpiece. Gungnir is so-so, gameplay is awesome but lacks content and ends in a cliffhanger.
>>340043921
I'm surprised too. Better late than never yeah. Probably the GBA game where I sinked more hours.
>>340043738
I found it better.
>>340043738
Swordcraft Story 2 and 3 play a lot more like a refined SS1. Story is hit or miss, the three have an entertaining story and likable characters though.
>>340043578
>Dragon Quest III
>GBC games
Dragon WARRIOR III, son. Good choice, though.
>>340043921
Bought that game on release day, I think I've legit put in like 2k hours. It was godly
This one, my nigga.
>>340044419
I feel kind of sad that I'll never be able to enjoy the multiplayer aspect of it, but it's still one of my faves all the same.
>not playing Dark Wizard
>not using Dagger Dance and being able to focus on dodging while the sword does all the heavy lifting>not finding the level 7 tome for itEVER
>>340044367
I always thought the girl MC in SN 2 was such a qtpa2t. And the mono shift thing was cool as fuck too. I've always wondered why Atlus decided to forgo localizing the 3rd one though.
>>340044690
Dark Wizard and Brawler were my favorites. Multiplayer was pretty fun, my buddy had it.
>>340044719
She wasn't gay enough though. That's why 2 was such a disappointment.
>>340044719
Aera was a fucking qt.Nina Nina was the qtest though.
Bad sales. They released the games when the GBA was on its last legs and release both the first and second in the same in the USA.
>>340044690
The mutiplayer wasn't anything special though. It was only good to trade items and shit.
>>340044786
Brawler/Dragonewt/Dark Wizard master race.
>>340036012
sc3 is getting an english patch soon
>>340042275
>anti Golden Sun fags are moeshitters
Suddenly everything makes sense.
>>340044893
>"soon"™
That translation project is stuck in a nightmare.
>>340041535
I've been a billion percent sure as well after rechecking the password like 30 times. But then I found a 1 where it was supposed to be a I or an l. Seriously that password is ass and you probably put one character in wrong.
>>340045037
>only one billion
>compared to my 10 billion
But maybe I'll give it another try after I finish replaying Chrono Cross.
>>340045117
I've gotten the password to work on OpenEMU so yeah give it another shot
>>340044893
English patch, or disgusting "onii-chan yamete my nakama" patch?
>>340044870
>>340044719
>>340044367
What's the most enjoyable/fun sprite to chose as female in 2?
>>340041535
I never had any problems transfering from my GS1 save and using the password generator. It's a shit ton of characters so you probably mistook an I for a l or a 0 for O. It happens.
>>340039853
I lost my GBA with golden sun in it. Fucking kill me.
>>340045331
It's such a shame this game is only remembered because yurishitters. It was a fun game.
>>340045290
At this point I'd take anything, even a Spanish patch.
>>340045464
weird how I don't remember any yuri stuff in this game when I played it as a kid
And I love yuri
and I wasn't exactly a pure kid when I was young
Top 5
1. Golden Sun 1&2
2. Sword of mana
3. Yoshi's Island
4. Zelda: Minish Cap
5. Wario Land 4
I still play them on my psp like hell.
>>340045693
Well, go play it again.
>>340044442
Oh shit that game was fucking great. You could play a different adventure with every character.
I played Gandalf's like 10 times
>>340045331
You mean Guardian Beast? ExELD for sure. Dinah is also pretty funny.
>>340045464
Also, this.
>>340045713
I loved Sword of Mana but hated how it had "point of no return" parts.
>>340045713
>>340045869
Didn't Sword of Mana had a really shitty difficulty? I remember beating some bosses in one strike. It was pretty fun though.
>>340036012
>Swordcraft Story 3 and Star Ocean: Blue Sphere will never get a translation
>>340045464
Nobody would remember it otherwise, so be glad it has yuri in it.
>>340045869
Yeah some games used to do that, I guess that made it good to replay it. Since playing SoM I always keep more than one save from my games
Also I didnt realize that the different characters had different stories until now
>>340043572
It's fun but the challenge is pathetic once you figure out that you can use the same maneuver against virtually every enemy in the game to never get hit.
Pokemon Emerald
Rehashes don't count you fucks
>>340046056
Yeah I spent days killing enemies on the first levels , after getting all bumped you could beat the bosses in seconds.
>>340046352
Also after killing 100 (or was it 1000) enemies of the same type they would turn into a stronger version that would give you a shitload of exp.
>>340037102
>>340036981
I dislike grid-movement with a dpad. Do I get used to it in-time or should I just fire up some RTS pvp game like settlers.
>>340040687
It's literally bad at everything. I feel bad for playing through this trilogy of assfuck.
>>340041198
See this just makes me feel that the two first posts have bad games in them.
>>340046490
it was 1000.
>>340046582
It doesn't have grid movement though.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_r8gR8eQB7A

One line out of 9000 doesn't make a game deep. Read books. Procreate. Don't masturbate. Affiliate. Swallow the red pill. Don't just sit still.
>>340036981THE AXE
>>340046689
H-h-how does this work? Does the psp even have a touch screen. What is this sorcery?
>>340046789
That's the DS version. You control the wisp and avoid getting damaged by the monster's shots while controling your soldiers's soul into attacking the monsters. Basically an RPG/Bullet Hell/Strategy/Action game. And the story is full on complete fucking nuts.
>>340047010
I was under the impression the psp version was the optimal version. Am I mistaken?
>>340036159
>third
WHAT
WHAT
WHAT
>>340046789
Ah, and in the PSP version you use the analog stick or the d pad to control the wisp and you can easily change the speed with the triangle and X.
>>340047036
Depends on taste. Having played bth, I prefer the PSP one. And it even has more content with an Yggdra Storyline, a text database and an extra difficulty level.

>>340048140I honestly prefer FFTA to FFT.
well I enjoyed it anyway...
>>340039853
>meme
Not a meme. It's an average game.
>>340048345As far as I am into the story, like, destroying the second to last crystal and the judges leaving the palace, I get what Marche is trying to do but, why force people to leave a world without any consequences? It's not like his real life was much better, he lived in a British ghetto for fucks sakes. Reality be damned.
>>340047971
>I still have no idea
Higher number cards beat lower number. 0 beats everything. You can combine cards together for a large, single-number combo. Certain combos result in special attacks. That's pretty much it.
>>340039853
GS is really good. It's just a case of being too popular so /v/ hates it and also because the GS fandom kept pushing it as the best RPG ever at the time.
I just wish the games weren't so easy.

I wish that rock hit Marche and killed him instead.
>>340049812
Yeah, the biggest gaffe was probably having no choice in how things went down.
Or in story characters such as Ezel who can't change class or learn new skills. What the fuck.
Someone thought it would be a good idea to make a JRPG/turn-based RPG out of Harry Potter
GUESS WHAT NIGGER IT FUCKING WAS
And it was hard as tits.
>>340049938
I had great fun with the GBC version of the first one.
>>340047478
That's all we'll get. The main text is compressed and fragmented throughout the ROM. They're not skilled enough to write text inserter for that.
>>340044426
Came to post this, one of the few games i still replay.
>>340050486
They already had someone that coded an incomplete decompressor and inserter but the guy kinda disappeared I think?
>>340035472
god riviera is such a good game
great graphics, music, cute character designs, beautiful spritework
i swear i played through this game like ten times across GBA and PSP and i still never got Cat Ending, or most of the hard to find items in the Collection.
>>340047202
CALAMITY FLARE!
>>340044094
>Knights in the Nightmare is a masterpiece.
Okay let's not go CRAZY. I guess if you can keep track of the obnoxiously convoluted combat system, it's good, but really... the tutorial takes so long because there is so goddamn much to explain
>>340042061
every console in existence has some good games and some shovelware. even the virtual boy.
>>340051085
>Okay let's not go CRAZY
Eh, people here always tend to overrate games that they like. You know this is the case when anyone claims Golden Sun is exceptional.
>>340051085
To each their own, right? KitN went straight into my top 10 games in the first hours and never left. The game isn't all gthat hard to understand, people just make it sound more clusterfuck-ish than it really is.
>>340042061
There's plenty of shovelware on the GBA, dude.
>>340051290
>people make it sound more clusterfuck-ish than it is
It has an expanded tutorial for a reason.
>>340039629
Cuz they never made Riviera 2. I found Dept Heaven's other games to be... inconsistent at best
>>340037137
the training grinding for weapon abilities is a little annoying but it's so worth it to use those abilities and just wipe shit out
>>340051262
That mangaka didn't even try. Sad to see it having a job.

I didn't liked it all. Played like shit. The music was good though.
>>340039853
Golden Sun was a ridiculously generic JRPG in an era jam packed with them.
The only reason it has such a meme fanbase is because it was a lot of kid's first JRPG. Gameboys were cheaper than PS1s, so basically it took the place of FF7 for poor kids, becoming the new overrated nostalgia game

>>340050027
>>340049938
The first and second Harry Potter on the GBC are exellent games.
>>340052890
I never said they were bad.
They just did nothing great.
You had games like Suikoden II, Valkyrie Profile, Star Ocean 2 etc that all did certain things exceptionally well, and then you had Golden Sun which by comparison just seemed like the least possible effort to push a game to market.

>>340036419

>>340053098
They did some great stuff like the artwork, the quality of the graphics and the dungeon designs though.
>Star Ocean 2
>Anything other than mediocre
>>340053098
JRPGs are probably the worst genre for people who overrate their favorite childhood game well into adulthood without ever playing anything outside of that tiny bubble.That genre has so many gems like the ones you mentioned, but none of those games had the marketing power of average shit like FF games or Golden Sun etc
>>340053556
Star Ocean 2 had a crafting system that was exceptionally good compared to any other JRPG at the time, and honestly probably still beats out most games. The combat and story were mediocre, but it actually did something exceptional in regards to gameplay.
Golden Sun dungeons were baby's first puzzles that I could name a dozen JRPGs. You're looking for Lufia 2 if you want actualy engaging
>>340053098
>least possible effort to push a game to market.
>least possible effort
Nah. It's a dull game, but it definitely exerts some effort in how its executed. Class systems, dungeons, spells and battle system. It tries to do its own thing. It's just pretty boring overall.
>>340053762
>tfw played Lufia 1 years ago, bored me to death
>friend recommend Lufia 2 to me a few months back
>it has pseudo-roguelike dungeons with enjoyable puzzles
>end up putting 40 hours into them
God bless the devs for stepping their shit up on that game.
>>340053762
SO2's crafting system was exceptional? We didn't play the same game then.
GS's puzzles were easy yeah, but the layout of the dungeons is surprisingly satisfying and fun.
>Lufia 2
How can anyone defend SO2 and like Lufia 2? L2 was the shit, man. Gotta replay it one of these days.
>>340042859
Too good to be real. It doesn't actually exist.
>>340050826
The leader of the project has also called it quits:
https://gbatemp.net/threads/summon-night-swordcraft-story-beginnings-stone.389972/page-9#post-6410379

>Liking 2 more than 1
>>340054357
Pablitox finally cracked hm? A shame, that guy was always so hyped up for the project.
>>340054409
1's battle system was clunky as fuck and the dungeons were all kinda boring though. 2 is a straight up upgrade in that sense. Story and characters is a different matter.
BOF 1/2 were good ports
Tactics Ogre was great
Lunar was a bad port but i love it anyway because i didnt have another console to play it on at the time and i already watched my friend play the ps1 version
i never finished golden sun because i thought it was boring but objectively its hard to say its any more boring than bof1/2 or anything
>>340054680
I believe he's studying in University so I guess that would take more precedent. A guy is working on inserting the text, everything is translated, they're just working on that.
>>340055856
>everything is translated
How much % of that is edited? Because I doubt they can insert the text as is.
>>340043578
I'd give my fucking legs to get another Shining Soul game for n3ds
>>340051085
It gets pretty boring and slow in my opinion as you progress through the story and fight endless monsters.
>>340056208
I think someone who worked on the project gave them script editing tools, it's apparently 80% done now.
The trouble is fitting the text into the dialogue box?
>no mention of meda bots
Fuck you.
>>340057957
>The trouble is fitting the text into the dialogue box?
I actually thought about that when I mentioned the edition. They should be editing and shortening the script at the same time.
>>340040660
The third game is horrible, really, remember "Dude were is my car?" This is similar, you must go to a really far away place to repair the borken sled and end saving the world
>>340042664
Holy fuckballs, someone else actually played that game. I had almost lost all hope.
A shame the franchise is dead forever and the best we'll probably see will be another shameless pachislot.

all 3 GBA ones are good
Lunar Knights was trash
>>340061878
It has fan translation
Also, no m&l superstar saga?
>>340039853
The dialogues in the Golden Sun games were tediously long and cringy. You spent more time pressing A than actually playing.

>>340061895
>Lunar Knights was trash
This, too. Lunar Knights was an absolute shit.
I would say Tales of Phantasia if the GBA port wasn't complete trash. Same thing goes for Lunar, now that I think of it the GBA was riddled with crappy ports.
>>340062726
Those two were the only bad ones though. Specially ToP. The Final Fantasy VI and V ports weren't the best but they weren't bad either.
Final Fantasy Tactics Advance
>>340062889
A lot of people tend to bitch and moan about how the colors are too bright and watered down, or how the sound is much shittier, but I'd say they're ok as ports, mostly thanks to the extra content.
>>340062514
Good point. I'm also a newfag so that makes me a hypocrite. I try to be reasonable, even on 4chan

They set up a site dedicated to line trimming to make stuff fit about two years ago but they decided to abandon that idea and develop better insertion tools so they don't need to deal with limits on replacing text. Last I heard that was done, so I don't know what it's stalled on this time.

The colors only get in the way if you play on real hardware. People like to bitch because of muh purity. The extra content was good enough to ignore that problem.
>>340063540
>I actually go a reasonable reply from that
Look dude, Mother 3 is alright. I didn't like much but it was a nice experience. But the combat and exploration just killed any interest I had in it. Music was pretty good though.
>>340063771
I fell it's more of an experience than a game. It's my second favorite fictional story next to hunter X hunter
Plz no hate I'm trying 2 b nice

>Golden Sun TLA and Riviera were the two iconic games of my GBA RPG memories
>see this thread
I love all of you.
>>340043578
Oh damn, I remember playing the shit out of this back then.
The wolf dude was my nigga.
>>340063942
Nah, I completely understand what you and others mean with "experience".Is Hunter x Hunter any good?
>>340035472
OP far from related
>>340064297
Thanks for understanding. 4chan is known for rowdiness.
Also hunter X hunter is best anime (imo)

>>340064167
I love you too, anon.
>>340064362
Hello
>>340064167
I love you too, even if for me those are emulation memories. I never had any physical console but the DS, yet the GBA and the Megadrive must be the two consoles I played the most.
>>340048345
If you just take the gameplay and don't mind the Judge bullshit, it's definitely better. The wtory is much worse though and the Judges can sometimes make battles needlessly tedious.
FFTA2 was even better, but it also had a shit story.
>>340052950
It's kinda ruined once you notice the filenames and realize it's someone reposting pics they grabbed from elsewhere and not the OP himself
>>340064469
There's all types of people here, anon. I've been here for years now and you can find a lot of reasonable people to talk to. It's just a matter of luck.
Really? Guess I'll give a shot at HxH this week. Thanks for the recommendation.
>>340064474
Completely got me off guard that's for sure. I feel sorry for him now that I know he canonically loses his love. I wonder why the fuck the Goat/chimera thing didn't appear in Let Us Cling Together though.

The GBA was such a based handheld
>>340065073
Why do western devs barely make shit on handhelds?
>>340065164
Because normalfags don't buy portable systems.
>>340065164
Handhelds are for faggots and babies, real men play Call of Duty on the PS4.
>>340064845
Your welcome. You won't regret any second of hxh. (Mabey the beginning, but that's just a matter of taste(
>>340065245
Just stop please. I'm trying to be nice
>>340065164
Because traditionally they've mostly been Japanese devices in terms of origin and popularity.
Though the PSP had plenty of Western support.
>>340065357
I'm just giving you the answer to your question.
Western devs barely make shit for handhelds because handhelds aren't seen as serious gaming devices in the west. Same reason why 99.999% of all mobile games are casual garbage.

>>340036419
I cannot get into Sting games. Shit's too convoluted.
>>340053627
I've played a shitload of JRPGs and yet I still have a ton of appreciation for the early FF games, especially in the context of when they were released.
Golden Sun is total shit, though.
>>340035472
>>340044426
>make a evil character
>give him a backstory so big, you have to release an entire game for it to be explained properly
>>340053404
It actually doesn't. The sprites have more rounded edges, like all they did was put a SNES emulator filter on them, and the UI is more spread out and doesn't use every pixel of the screen like the GBA.
Was the GBA the height of portable RPGs?
>>340067829
No. Sprites are drawn from scratch. PSP version is better in every possible aspect.
>>340043810
This one
>>340068061
DS was, DS has at least 5 of my favorite RPG's on it either as a port or just straight DS game.
>>340068078
The other anon is correct. They stretched the sprites. The backgrounds and art was all redrawn from scratch though.
>>340068061
If we consider RPGs only then the DS is better.
>>340037052
Muhboi
>>340068592
what rpgs (besides Pokémon, BW2 is my jam) are there on the DS that you consider better than Riviera/Shining Soul/Summon Night?
>>340065073
don't forget the original AA trilogy was a GBA series
>>340069151
Radiant Historia, the later Mario and Luigi games, Strange Journey, the Etrian Odyssey games, etc.
Come on, man. It's not even a challenge. Just Google this stuff.
>>340069151
It's not a matter of quality but quantity.
Regardless, I'd point out:
>SMT SJ
>Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of the Sky
>Metal Max 2/3
>Knights in the Nightmare
>>340068078
The music is worse in the PSP version.
>>340068061
DS is superior.
PSP is arguably on the same level as the GBA depending on preferences.

You talking about Ace Attorney? Aren't those JP only?
>>340069591
Fuck you. How can midi music be better than direct MP3 quality?
