Over the years we've gotten near countless amazing RPGs, however due to the passage of time a lot of them have either sort of been forgotten about or never really got the recognition I feel they deserved. This video aims to highlight 8 more of these titles. Check out our Part 1 of this series at the link below

Bro you could make a 5 hour video of just you talking about random RPG’s and I would listen to the whole thing. Also I love how you have the adult swim like Interludes, they are awesome!

@GamingBroductions Год назад

Haha love to hear it, maybe one day we’ll get out something that long. If these series get big enough we might combine all the parts and make one giant video eventually. And thanks dude! I’ve always really liked those and wanted to set similar vibes for the channel

@NikolaiHildenyar Год назад

Lufia II: Rise of the Sinistrals is one of my most beloved SNES games of ALL time. I really, really, really encourage everybody to play this game at least once. This story is truly amazing, the battle system is cool and unique, there are capsule monsters, the characters are outstanding, especially Dekar, it is a vibrant world and almost every aspect it tackles is done so in an extraordinary fashion. This videogame series should've gotten WAY more love and support

@dragonite1986 Год назад

Lufia 2 was the first RPG I ever played and it instantly made me fall in love with the genre. At the time, I was quite disappointed that many of the big titles (e.g., Zelda - A link to the past, Secret of Mana) were not as enjoyable to me as Lufia 2. Still a masterpiece.

@Blernster Год назад

Just beat it a week ago, it really is amazing. And god damn that ending ..

@AaronBowley Год назад

i love Lufia 2 so much, I replay it every few years.

@acidwizard6528 Год назад

Lufia II got outshined by Square's RPGs at the time so many people didn't hear about it. Also against it was the fact that it came out late in the SNES lifecycle as people were already gearing up for the Playstation. On top of that RPGs weren't as popular before Final Fantasy VII blew up the market, so few Westerners were playing RPGs except for enthusiasts. I think Lufia II is a top 10 RPG on the SNES, but understand why it never broke into the mainstream.

@michaelp4122 Год назад

I wish the Lufia series stuck around longer, it was too easy to put them off on SNES and GBA when they have so many JRPG's. Now the games are so expensive! But one day.....I will give it a shot.

@SkinnyChalk Год назад

So glad you gave some credit to Septerra Core!!! I played this as a kid so much, even if I had no idea what to do. No one ever knows what it is whenever I bring it up. It was such a vibe.

@wereserts Год назад

such a shame most modern games dont even release in a finished state like some of these gems

@Chelaxim Год назад

Well some of these games have very little known about their development and we don't know what was all cut for time. As for Lunar 2 Eternal Blue Complete it's a port and the key word is Complete. Xenoblade Chronicles X it got DLC in Japan that was included on disc in the west, HB,Yelv,Alexa and Boze were not in in the base game and it looks like that story is never going to get a resolution.

@Zero_Tester Год назад

And there alot of young people still defending this kind of practice these day in order to look lika a smartypants,usually they always bring Vanillaware dev since it somewhat has a cult following among those new gen

@pablozambrano16 Год назад

Xenogears and breath of fire 4 weren't really finished, so it also happened back then. But yeah, it seems to be a more cinical common practice nowadays.

@the-NightStar Год назад

Wrong. Unfinished games are actually the minority, not the majority.

@GuiltyKit Год назад

I don't know. It wasn't like Lufia 2 etc didn't have product quality control issues. The whole idea that this is some kind of new thing and that old games weren't widely buggy and riddled with problems is a modern invention. Just look at most of your favorite classic JRPGs. Heck the FF series, AAA for its time, is rife with errors. If a lot of your favorite games were released today you would be screaming bloody murder about how they were released in an unfinished state out of greed and incompetence. I'm not defending companies releasing unfinished product. I'm just saying it is in no way a new problem.

@nightday2030 Год назад

Final Fantasy Tactica A2 (Advance 2) for DS. Great visual, fun tactical combat. Another one is Grandia X for PS2, one of the criteria I like about this game is random encounter could be visible and you have the option to be at ready position.

@GamingBroductions Год назад

Those are some good picks. I remember at the time being disappointed with Grandia Xtreme because I wanted more of a traditional RPG, but I think if I were to play it nowadays I would be able to appreciate it more for what it tried to be. The battle system really is excellent

@Ravenlock Год назад

Ironically, as a PC gamer who was a college student in the late 90s, Septerra Core was almost the only game in your list I HAVE heard of. I loved that game. 😉 Great video! Gonna look some of these up, for sure.

@pistolmcawesome9306 Год назад

I have so many fun memories with Lufia II. I've beaten it so many times yet I always enjoy going back to it from time to time when I'm getting that RPG itch. The puzzles were well done and the characters have their own charm to them.

Lunar 2: Eternal Blue Complete is my first JRPG and it made me a story-seeker type of gamer. Love that game.

@tylermatthews5440 Год назад

Dude you unlocked a core memory of mine when you talked about playing Legend of Legaia in the van. When my parents did a cross country road trip back in 1999 that took like 20+ hours I bought that game and played it beginning to end during that trip on that tiny van screen too!

@cronot6087 Год назад

@grahfkarate1799 Год назад

Legend of the Legaia oddly was the JRP that got me hooked. I played a bit of Super Mario RPG, and FF6 but I think I was too young to give them a fair chance. It’s so awesome. I had the same experience with the game as you. Rented it and keep renting it over and over again. Combat is so fun and the story wasn’t Xenogears or anything but it did the job. The world setting.. l would love a anime in that world

@AresSG Год назад

My story with Legend of Legaia is kinda funny cause It also got me hooked but in a round about way. I first played a Demo of it, loved it but forgot the name and went looking for it with my mom in K-Mart. We found Final Fantasy 7, thought it was it cause I was like 8 and was convinced my mom was right (even though she didn't know the game I played) and though I booted it up and found out it wasn't I instantly fell in love with Final Fantasy 7 and so began my rabbit hole into JRPG's and RPG's in general. I never gave up looking though and came across Legend of Legaia about 5 years later, felt stupid I forgot the name, bought it and beat it. What a great game it was.

Dude...all of those beast were terrifying! I went through some of the seru to do a sort of a draw along....some of them are silent hill grade nasties when you really closely look at some of those areas of steel stone and exposed muscle. It would be nice to see at least a soul sequel that ties the two games together in an abstract way. I heard the rights to it expired though, so maybe a proper sequel could be made.

@lindenstromberg6859 Год назад

The story of Xenoblade Chronicles X is about a city from earth (New LA) that lands on the alien planet called Mira, but there are limited supplies and energy, so you have to pick one of eight jobs to help ensure New LA not only survives, but that it thrives. There are a number of twists along the way, and because of the open world aspect, the story weaves out in many different directions. The story most certainly doesn’t suck, and I think it easily exceeds all the other games on your list.

@thegamersician Год назад

Dude, I started this up thinking, "please let there be Thousand Arms, please let there be Thousand Arms..."and there it was! My bro and I remind me a lot of you guys. We'd peruse the aisles of Sears looking for the next dope JRPG based solely on box art, and I remember 12 year old me choosing that one and LOVING it. Totally agree about the combat-I enjoyed it, but it was limited and basic. But the cutscenes are STILL quoted by me and my bro. The Nelsha scene as the Dress Master where her and ol' girl argue, then slap you if you try to butt in cracks me up just thinking about it. Super memorable and... YO, gladddd to see Legaia too! Haven't played any of the others, so I have lots of catching up to do. Another incredible video, fellas! Production value keeps growing too. Love what yall are doing.

Man, Radiata Stories! I LOVE this game. The story isn't SUPER great, but it's still okay. A great thing about it though is that it actually lets you go on 2 separate paths in the game, which lead to 2 totally different ways to experience the story. You basically side with either the humans (which makes every non human your enemy) or the non humans (which makes every human in the game your enemy), which affects which places you can go to in the game, etc. The graphics have this sort of anime esthetic. It's very charming and still look great to this day. The music is also great too. It's not anything epic like the Final Fantasy series or something like that, but it has this very homely feel to it, and still has me humming it even after I'm done playing. Gotta load it up on my Steam Deck. Can't wait to revisit this game

With the versatility of the Switch/Steamdeck, I think ports could sell really well. If Final Fantasy Legend 1-3 can get a port (Romancing Saga Collection), and Front Mission 1-3 getting remakes, what is stopping Lunar & Lufia from a comback? If not a port, maybe Nintendo Switch Online? I'd love more JRPG's there.

@Shuukuriimudaisuki-sama Год назад

Definitely feel like Lunar 2 needs more love. It's one of my favorite JRPGs of all time, and it may not be a super-popular opinion, but I like it better than Lunar 1. It has a darker, more mature story, with most of the characters having some disturbing pasts, tied in with the religion based around Althena, which has now gone corrupt since the goddess is truly gone. Seeing things like Luna choosing to grow old and die as a mortal because of her love for Alex, watching Lucia go from being an emotionless robot to a real human with human feelings, seeing the party members overcome their many traumas and hang-ups, and of course that damn amazing epilogue... It really is the pinnacle of storytelling done right.

@acerimmer8338 Год назад

@chronicallychic Год назад

@@michaelp4122 Dang you got lucky. Yeah, so many older games are expensive these days for sure. I expect 3DS stuff will be skyrocketing with eshop closure too. Some of them were kind of rare to begin with (Ever Oasis comes to mind -- started going up in price right after I bought it).

@HybridAngelZero Год назад

Immediately won me over by starting with Legend of Legaia xD It blows my mind that it didn't blossom into a huge series that's still going. To me, it's iconic and synonymous with PSone RPGs the same way games like Breath of Fire III, Grandia and Xenogears are. I'm also really happy that you mentioned Thousand Arms. I lucked out and picked up at a decent price a few years ago and am glad I did. It's just pure energetic fun and has style and charm to spare! Lufia II is sadly one I don't have any experience with, aside from the very fun DS remake. Honestly, it's kind of a crime that neither Lufia is available for the SNES Switch Online app.

I actually have a lot of the Thousand Arms art in my background folder for decades... A lot of games from my childhood. My friend and I would take turns in the Lufia 2 100 floor dungeon to see who could get the farthest, since it is random. I managed to get a rom of FF5 and Tales of Phantasia in the late 90s. Loved Phantasia up until the fan translation ended. Made the game pretty impossible to beat.

my opinion on Lunar is that something was lost from the original Sega CD versions although ps1 etc versions were nice the stories were changed, Ghaleon was more sinister in Luanr 1 SegaCD and the architecture overlapped so you could visit places in Lunar 2 like in vane and see the buildings aged etc which gave the impression of continuity.

Games don't do this anymore. One reason I love Shining Force 3 is that you literally import your character from Scenario 1 into Scenario 2 & 3. (I only beat Lunar 1, so I needed to use a different example). What games do this now? Xenoblade 3 DLC has you return to Colony 9 from Xenoblade 1 and..... that's all I can come up with. Heck even Pokemon Gold/Silver let you return to Kanto.

Thank you for letting me know Septerra Core is on Steam. One of my favorite games when I was a kid.

@J.AshtonMorgan Год назад

Lufia II, Legend of Legaia, Lunar series, ToD2... CLASSICS!! Very solid list.

@FadeDragontear Год назад

I'm impressed. I actually have never heard of Septerra Core until today. Solid list.

Some really good RPGs in this video! After several failed attempts at getting my sister into RPGs she somehow found Legend of Legaia and it just clicked for her. Xenoblade Chronicles X is criminally underrated. My favorite battlesystem of the Xenoblade series so far. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for an eventual port. Then there's Thousand Arms. I legit was thinking about that game during the Lunar segment, thinking that no one ever talk about that game. Glad that you proved me wrong! Hope to see more of these videos in the future!

Lufia 2 was my absolute favorite rpg growing up I couldn’t believe people didn’t know it back then I was obsessed

@binosjourney Год назад

Tales of Eternia will always be my favourite!! Radiata story has a special place in my heart :)

Thanks for putting time stamps unlike some other RU-vidrs. Such as that DerickHandon. Requested for time stamps and got humiliated. Gave the video a like.

Awesome list!!

Thank you!

I had 4 of these and agree for the most part. Other games to consider are Vandal Hearts series, Shadow Hearts series, Saga Frontier 2, Growlanser Generations and Langrisser 1 & 2

@justinc882 Год назад

Have played all of these and couldn't agree more. Legend of Legaia is a personal favorite of mine and really wish it'd get a remake as I think people would really love it.

I played the Lunar games on Sega CD, and was thrilled when they remade them for the PS1. Updated graphics, retold story, and cool collectibles packaged in with the game made them a no brainer to buy. Silver Star Story Complete is one of my all time favorites, and Eternal Blue is a close second.

Much love for Legend of Legaia. It's the game that made me fall in love with JRPGs as a kid as well. Spot on about the music too. It's a real shame we'll likely never see a rerelease, as this is 1000% a game that truly deserves it

@pigboykool Год назад

My personal No. 1 Underappreciated RPGs is the Langrisser series! My favor RPG of all time!

I saw that Gunbuster clip during the Legaia segment!

One game I reccomend looking into is Azure Dreams, It's a playstation one RPG where you quest into a ever changing tower, Fighting your way up, Leaving the tower to rest and build up the town, Befriend NPC's, Do side quests and then delve into the tower again. Your level is reset every re-entry into the tower and the layout of the tower is new every time, But you can gain monster companions and I seem to recall your monsters levels not resetting upon re-entry. I never see anyone talk about Azure Dreams online so it seems very forgotten but I enjoyed it as a kid.
