Message: [QUOTE="Graw, post: 374486, member: 90249"] I think the SaGa series is underrated. They can be a little weird but they're mostly high quality games created by the director of the original Final Fantasy 2 who basically took the weird levelling system from that game and refined it into a weird jrpg series that combines sci-fi and fantasy with non-linear story telling. My favourites in the series are Romancing SaGa 3 and Romancing SaGa Minstrel Song. Every game in the series is different from the last though. They've all received high quality remasters and Romancing SaGa 2 recently received a full on 3d remake. Lufia 2 on the snes is one of my favourites on the system for gameplay. I wish more jrpgs had those Zelda style dungeon puzzles. Too many jrpg dungeons are just tunnels with monster encounters. The ancient cave roguelike dungeon is also super cool and could be a whole game all on its own. For western rpgs, I know it's Bioware which is pretty mainstream, but I feel like Neverwinter Nights never really got the attention it deserved compared to games like Baldur's Gate or the later Bioware RPGs like Kotor, Mass Effect and Dragon Age and stuff like that. The campaign that came with the game is a bit mid but the engine and the toolkit that came with it and the level of creative freedom it allowed still hasn't really been topped to this day. It's about as close as you can come to a full on digital D&D experience. Especially if you play online with DM. You can basically make full on games with the toolkit and hundreds of high quality custom modules exist, everything from full on worlds with tons of quests and areas to explore to smaller self contained story driven adventures and everything in between. It got an enhanced release relatively recently by Beamdog that runs on windows, mac, Linux, android and even ios I think. It seems like most of the custom modules still work and there's a small but active community of online players and servers. [/QUOTE]
