What is your favorite game saga?

[Ginbruhk]

I recently finished Yakuza 6 the song of life and I realized that the entire Yakuza game series has left its mark on my life in ways I hadn't realized before. From making me angry with some bosses on the game's highest difficulty, to making me cry at the end of Yakuza like a dragon Gaiden. Whether it's because of the moments I played or how the story has left its mark on me, Yakuza will always be my favorite game series.

So, I wanted to know which game series have also left their mark on other people

 

[Elwiwi]

Metroid

 

[PSVitaForever]

Final Fantasy.
FF8 in pc version has been my first real rpg (and almost my first videogame), so when finally being able to also play the ps1 and ps2 titles, and more recently FF13, it has been a great joy!

The GTA series, played almost all of them. Probably the only one I know more than any other.
Another one is the Neptunia saga, the kind of JRPG I like the most.

Devil May Cry

I'm playing Neptunia ReBirth3 right now; I've chosen this one because I've read there are many QoL added in comparison with the first two titles, I think it's difficult I can play the whole trilogy so... I'm just in chapter 2 and it's very nice

Zelda and Final Fantasy are the ones who probably helped define me the most (though they're not a "saga" in the same way since the games are mostly self-contained).

 

[Clippy]

Probably Diablo, even if most of the lore is not in the games sadly. I was also pretty invested in Mortal Kombat, GTA trilogy and Devil May Cry in my younger years.

Hard to pick just one. I'll go with Castlevania, but it could easily be Metal Gear, Zelda, or Metroid.

Persona series
Jak & Dexter

 

[groundbeef]

Castlevania if you are only asking for one. However, there are others.

 

[Darkayn]

The Shin Megami games, all of them.

 

[KirboDeku]

The only series that I've played every game in is the Crono series (yes, even Radical Dreamers), those games are so good. I've beat Mother 2, 3, even Cognitive Dissonance. I tried playing the first one but it gets old real fast for me, more entertaining to just read the lore for that one.

 

[middler]

Okay fine, I'll say it. Fallout.

I really do love it, it ticks alot of boxes for me. Sci-fi, post apoc, silly, stylized, fun, with great characters.

Whats not to love.

 

[Pokenami's iconPokenami]

Persona
Yakuza (Like A Dragon)
Final Fantasy

Praise for 13!!, yay!!, the thirteen trilogy, especially the second and third game are amazing in their own right even if 13 itself is flawed.

OG 13 has great atmosphere, aesthetics and music but its a shame that its flaws stopped many from giving its sequels a chance, as its a great series within final fantasy, even if much of what final fantasy is can be found in the latter games more so than the first.

As for a favourite "saga", an overarching plot and world, I'm gonna say the Jak series, i'd kill for more of that with the same team and writers the trilogy had as I was really invested in the world and characters.

Neil Druckmann butchered the characters in the last frontier, modern naughty dog would not be able to put out a fun jak game.

Metal gear series
FF7 series (yes I am counting that as a series as Yoshinori Kitase and Kazushige Nojima has pretty much made it one)
Persona
Dragon quest with 8 being my favourite.

Persona series
Jak & Dexter

JAK!! WOOOO!

Great to see it mentioned!

 

[FateLanegod]

SNES Star Ocean
PSX Star Ocean - The Second Story
GBC Star Ocean - Blue Sphere
PS2 Star Ocean - Till the End of Time

PS3 Star Ocean - The Last Hope has really look-so-cool, epic battles with 4 combatants simultaneously in real time (PS2 game had only 3) with that cancel combo system, and that is the best part of the game.

 

[Azura]

Dragon Ball, Naruto, Persona

Ihmo it's the worst part. I got rid of that game because of that stupid and annoying mechanic, I you don't do any combo you only gain one or two exp. points.

I love Metal Gear Solid.

 

[freebie#47]

Megaman Series....but I too LOVE Yakuza/Like a dragon series. After i played Kiwami, I BOUGHT EVER ENTRY EVER MADE!!!

To me it's the contrary: I've never paid any mind to the "flaws" of FF13 (I liked all the characters and the linear maps were not a problem for me), I always wanted to play it since day-one but never got the chance and the right consoles, recently I found a cheap xbox360 and finally enjoyed "FF13" and "Eternal Sonata", another game that I really wanted to play.

After finishing FF13 (mind that I've liked it a lot), I watched gameplay from the sequels, but I didn't feel like playing them, for different reasons - all mine, not influenced by any review or comment or the games not being Final Fantasy enough. Usually, if I feel like playing or not playing a game, I can watch gameplay and read reviews to understand things better, but the final decision is totally on my instinct :)

For ex., I never got a problem with the silly atmosphere of FFX-2, I got the chance to play it on Vita and greatly enjoyed it, both in story and mechanics in battles, but FF12 never clicked for me, despite being to opposite for many people who declared X2 a stupid game and ff12 and great return. (I can see the cool aspects of FF12, but still it never clicked).

Xenosaga games, still today one of my favorite RPG of all time.
