Games You Haven't Played Yet That Interest You

YS and Trails, which is funny to think about since the crossover fighting game featuring those series just got rereleased.

YS interests me because I've the series (according to Wikipedia at least) is framed as a chronicle of the main character's adventures, and that premise sounds intriguing.

As for Trails, every person I've seen get into that series seems like they had their lives changed after playing them, so that's cool. I picked up the remake recently and I can't wait to play it.

Also wizardry because I really like dungeon crawlers

Pokémon, the mother series, persona, yakuza, final fantasy, but I know I will never get to play them, as much as I tried, I didn't enjoy turn based combat

They are two different series with different gameplay styles, although they were created by the same team.
For Growlanser, 2 & 3 came out together in the West as "Growlanser Generations". 4 came out via the PSP expanded port "Wayfarers of Time". And 5 came out on the PS2. That leaves 1 & 6 still untranslated.
IMO, the best is 4, on the PSP. I think it's an extremely overlooked game with a great battle system and a solid story. I'd say start with this one or 3, as they have self-contained stories. 2 is different from the rest as it doesn't have towns you can walk around in, just combat, story scenes and menus between battles. It's also a sequel to 1 taking place some years later so there are lots of references. I haven't played 5 yet.

Langrisser is solid, but more traditional SRPG gameplay, from the real creators of the genre (NCS/Masaya made SRPGs before Fire Emblem existed). There are lots of versions of 1 & 2 in English - 1 is on Genesis (as Warsong), there's a Korean PC remake with an English translation, and some mobile remakes. 2 is on Genesis, mobile, and there's an expanded remake on SNES called Der Langrisser with additional story routes (though it changes some things and is a lot easier). I think only one of the other games is translated, probably IV, and there two legit untranslated entries. I beat one version of each, solid stuff. Later games not developed by Career Team/Career Soft are generally considered awful.

Just to add some info about the designs: the artist on the older ones is Satoshi Urushihara.

Important to note the langrisser 1&2 remake has an option to switch to the classic character designs. I think all versions have this now.

Yakuza... I hear tell its the only Sega franchise that has never made a bad game

 

[Megarockman _1987 Megarockman _1987]

all persona and shin megami tensei series

God of war

 

[Bakuma1997]

The Romancing Saga Trilogy, i heard they have more in common with WRPGs, a subgenre i am not particularly good at, so i pass them, but most people will sell them as great SNES games, so i am really conflicted

 

[Ephemera1_]

Kessen
Valkyria Chronicles (this changes after today)
Fatal Frame
Ive played clock tower 3 but none of the others.

 

[Omnikron]

I have always wanted to get into Shenmune. It seems like a great series but I haven't put the effort into starting it.

 

[rematche]

same as super robot wars but will never be english translated. goddammit!!

 

[Nickakyoin]

100% Suikoden, Shenmue and Lunar. Maybe to some extend also Grandia but I didn't felt crazy on that one.

 

[RobinButButter]

Shenmue, the other non-Fire Emblem Kaga games, and Breath of Fire
