Phantasy star 2 for the genesis.

Its what got me into RPGs

Illusion of Time for the SNES and later Breath of Fire were the games that got me into RPGs.

 

Dragon Warrior/Quest I, II, III and IV.
SMB, SMB2 and SMB3.
What got me into RPG's and Sidescrolling Platformers, respectively.

When I was 8, I wondered if there was a Mario-meets-Dragon Warrior style of game.
Then Matt showed me CS a few years ago, and the void was filled.

My dad got me a used copy of DW1 from a place called Trader's World about 2 years ago and there was a save file included with the main character's name being Matt. Exp. and Gold were maxed out at 65535 and all that was left to do was getting the best weapon and defeating the final boss. Perhaps it's just a coincidence, but who knows?

 

Has anyone played the breath of fire games?

 

I've played Breath of Fire before

Has anyone played the breath of fire games?

Oh, oh! I have!

I'm making too big of a deal of it, aren't I?

So far, I've played BOF 1 & 2 on an actual Super Nintendo, and I've recently been working on getting the alternate ending (Because I got the mainstream ending of BOF2 because I made a certain mistake late in the game... It's sort of similar to how my 1st playthrough of Cave Story went, ironically enough...)

I've also got a copy of BOF3 for Playstation, but until I get BOF2 officially finished, I probably won't get around to it...


I wonder who has defeated BOF1's frog boss in Camlon Castle while only on Exp. Level 1? I've done it before, but I had to get the equipment in the castle, as well as stock up on 2 sets of herbs and spend the rest of the starting gold on Marbl3 (Using one prevents random encounters entirely, unike similar items in RPGs which only decrease encounter rate).

Marbl3 is especially required to get past the Glooms in the castle (Their T. Bolt magic will kill you in one hit on the starting Exp. Level)

I've even memorized the damage values for this boss (Required the main character is in the back row and has the castle equipment on)

Tongue- 5-6 damage
Pink fireball- 4-6 damage
Hop attack- 8-10 damage

Attack power raises by 2-3 when enemy's HP meter turns purple.
Frog will always get the 1st turn in this battle.
Rarely does the boss deliver a critical hit ("Slam" attack), but it can happen.

Spoiler

If this battle is won, the main character will level up 5 times!

Whoops, I got carried away again...

So, to sum it up, yes I've played some of them, and so far I'm liking it.

EDIT: Another game it seems nobody plays is Legend of Mana. Personally, I think Playstation Magazine's rating of 2 1/2 disks is one half disk short of its actual rating. A lot of the soundtrack in that game is very memorable, as well (Especially the main boss theme, "Pain of the Universe" and major boss theme, "The Darkness Nova").

 

As far left of Agua as you can get in bof1 (past the forest and the tower) there is an area near a well with powerful enemies that that early in the game are near boss level. Best training place ever!

There are two endings for BoF1. It depends on whether or not you defeat Tyr (Myria) with Agni or not.

Also you seriously need to start playing BoF3 and BoF4.

Also I have heard that the bad ending for BoF4 is a prequel to BoF5 and the good ending a prequel to BoF1. So the games are split into two timelines.

As for Legend of Mana, well... I have not played it. But I have played Seiken Densetsu 3 (part of the same series of games)

Really? I've only used the M. Slimes around the Goddess's Tower for quickly leveling up. Of course, this is much later on in the game than the spot you're talking about.

Oops, I meant the alternate ending on BOF2. My fault for not saying which one I was talking about...

Trust me, I will when I complete BOF2's alternate end. (I'm stubborn, but it'll be worth it, I believe...)

It's a good thing I'm playing them in numeric order, then, right?

It's funny how LOM isn't considered SD4 anymore... It's like someone wants to hide it away for some reason. It's not that bad of a game, if you ask me.

Yep.

Chronologically its:
BoF4>BoF1>BoF2>BoF3
or
BoF4>BoF5

But it is better to play any game series in order of release.

Oh and BoF5 is different to the other BoF games.

yugioh anyone i used love that game
i only played magic the gathering once, it was too anoying >_> with those mana's and crap

I am a bit unsure about getting it to be honest, reminds me of the whole mythilogical "Lets drive dragons to extinction to show how manly we are" thing.

 

Well, it sorta is... But it's still very, very much fun. If you do end up getting it, go for a PSP one, since you can still play multi-player (with the right programs)... I miss the MH server.. T_T

You don't need to tell me that, look at my user title (that bit of text under my username).

well ive bet the first one with a nintendo ds emulator (except for the last trial because i needed to use the ds microphone feature and they havnt built it into the emulator) it was slow sometimes but it was very good XD

the second one is really buggy so im waiting till the emulator gets better

-.- i would love to play pheonix wright on gba but im too used to the ds version it makes things easier  like looking around the map and stuff ^^"

 

Ufouria for the NES.

I used to love this when I was a kid its exactly like CS minus the cool plot/characters and guns. The characters are kind of wierd..

It's still good though.

 

I am playing Alundra 2 and it is looking good so far.

From what I heard the original was better. I really need a 16GB pro duo to store all the ps1 games I buy.
