You should play Xenogears, that game is very Kino.

remind me to send you the xenogears amv i made years ago

 

[diapered]

FF7 was also my first JRPG, I played it awhile after it was released and never had an snes, so missed out on JRPGs.

Play the freemaster kick butz edition of FF5 if you’re interested in FF5.

FF5, the class system makes the game so fun and adds tons of replay value! I'll probably check that out, next time I'm in mood for FF5.

Congrats, now next is Legend of the Dragoon....it was made by some of the people who made FF7 psx....warning it's not so good, but still alright IMO. Also FF8 is next. This one is much easier as you don't need to grind to beat the game. In fact you should NOT level up in that game.

The Legend of Dragoon wasn't developed by Square, the game was developed by Sony and most of the developers worked on games such as Omega Boost, so you're wrong.

Now I’m even more curious about this one

Yeah, a lot of great ff hacks. Like neoclassical for FF3, or Manall for FF1. Or ROSE for FF6.

i can send it to you too if you like
posting the youtube link is beyond my selfs ability

 

[Yousef Yousef]

posting the youtube link is beyond my selfs ability

what does that mean

 

[bigstinkie]

i would be embarrassed

 

[smokeyviolet]

i love you
i am happy it made you feel such strong emotions

It really did lol. Cloud in particular is very relatable.

 

[Yousef Yousef]

Oh I was hoping you’d respond with another riddle

 

[bigstinkie]

It really did lol. Cloud in particular is very relatable.

he really is
he is a soul fragmented and imperfect but carries on with good in his heart and that makes him beautiful to me

 

[smokeyviolet]

Y’know, now I’m slightly curious how someone who never played games before ended up on a hobbyist site like this one. I’m actually really interested in hearing the thought process.

I came here looking for roms of ps1 games after watching a couple of videos about them. I've always been fascinated by old games and games in general, I just never really gave them a shot until now. I stayed once I saw how many systems were on here and that there was an active forum here. That's a hard thing to find nowadays. My next stop is Crisis Core (I have to see Genesis. He's the reason I started playing ff7) but I will be sure to check out the other games recommended to me! Thank you for being so kind!

 

[Yousef Yousef]

He’s quite beautiful indeed.

Lol, getting into JRPGs was really a sudden thing for me

 

[Viviana Santos]

I also recommend playing Valkyrie Profile, another fifth-generation era JRPG game that is excellent.

---

I also highly recommend Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross, two excellent games.

 

[bigstinkie]

role playing games are my favourite genre and the original playstation console certainly has a lot of my favourites on it
the original playstation is probably my favourite console for that reason - mountains of role playing games and horror games

 

[diapered]

now next is Legend of the Dragoon

You should also warn you need to be ready to abuse save states for attack timing... Or maybe I just really suck

yeah then they made Dark Cloud which was also good!

 

[job32]

Holy shit. That took a month and was my first ever JRPG. I never played any video games before this (besides stuff like stardew valley and minecraft) but wow. I didn't realize video games could be this cool.

But did you beat the 3 Weapon monsters? Ultimate weapon, Ruby weapon and Emerald weapon. Ultimate and Ruby were handy enough to beat after a small few tries but the real beeeyotch was the Emerald weapon. Side quests, but have you really finished FF7? Emerald is a LONG fight with a lot of tweaking of materia, etc.. When ye see the bastard fizzle out after the last hit, it's quite a rush.

Haven't played og ff7 yet. I did play Crisis Core on PSP. Started Remake then got distracted. What's best version/hack of ff7 to play?

 

[Adrastia]

Congrats on your victory. I remember when I beat it I had an ear infection and could barely hear the music. I remember it clearly because it was February 14th 1998. I got the game in November of the previous year. It took so long to beat because I was constantly messing with materia and playing mini games. If a game has a ton of side distractions you better believe that I'm gonna get distracted.

the one with the Steam script.

 

[job32]

That materia set-up, further into the game was the best thing about it, for the time. I think it was, probably, the game that grabbed me the most in the console age.

I would just play the og. Hacks for previous FF's make sense because, while good, there are many frustrating/grindy elements about those games, for example, as much as I love FFT (my favorite), some JP reqs are way too much and it hurts the fun.

I can't recall anything in FF7 that felt annoying/unnecessary, gameplay wise. Maybe chocobo breeding? But that isn't that bad, and I recall kind of fun. But I just beat ruby to get my gold chocobo now :P

The chocobo breeding was a balls alright. Some of the movement through midgard was annoying. The first disc was really exciting/annoying.
