Yeah.
Recommend me excellent old RPG's...
NES-
SNES-
Megadrive-
Saturn-
Preferrably english ones, that I can play on my Xbox/Saturn console(s).
Playstation I know about...
NES - Crystalis, Legend of the White Lion, Final Fantasy
SNES - Secret of Mana, Chrono Trigger, FFMQ (yeah, so what?)
Master System - Phantasy Star
I enjoyed those games quite a bit...
SNES: Terranigma
Megadrive: Crusader of Centy
I guess that will do. Won't recommend any NES RPGs because they suck badly. I've yet to find one that I actually have the patience to play through. :P
Saturn: Shining Force 3 (Unfortunately, only 1 of the three scenarios saw an english release), Albert Oddyssey, Panzer Dragoon Saga, Magic Knight Rayearth, Riglord Saga, Shining the Holy Ark.
Genesis: Phantasy Star 2-4, Shining Force 1 & 2, Langrisser 2, Shadowrun. Add in Dark Wizard, Lunar and Lunar 2 if you have count the SegaCD.
SNES: Romancing Saga 3, Shin Megami Tensei 1 and 2, Front Mission, Super Mario RPG, Robotrek, Tales of Phantasia, Star Ocean, Dragon Quest 5 and 6, Fire Emblem, Uncharted Waters, Lufia 1 and 2, EVO: Search for Eden (more of a platfomer/RPG really). The SNES had so many RPGs I could tie you up for years just with the cult classics, and I haven't even mentioned half of those.
Won't touch the NES ones as I never really played RPGs on it.
Well, since almost everybody else is skipping the NES...
Dragon Warrior III & IV (For DW III, I recommend you play the GBC version instead)
Final Fantasy III:

Hypnos missed a few Saturn ones: Dragon Force, Shining Wisdom, and... blahhhhhh... Legend of Oasis, Dark Savior, Blazing Heroes.
I didn't miss Blazing Heroes. It was released in Japan as Riglord Saga.Quote:

I'm about to get out Big Ass Emulator Disc 1 for Xbox, and start one of these RPG's. I was thinking the Front Mission games, for SNES. Anything better I should play first?
This is true.Quote:

SNES: Breath of Fire 1 and 2, Front Mission, Bahamut Lagoon (pretty sure it requires a translation patch, though I may be wrong).
NES: Dragon Warrior 1 and 2.
All I can think of at the moment.
NES:
Earthbound Zero - ha!
Legend of Zelda I & II
River City Ransom - PLAY IT!
Star Tropics I & II - Quirky and fun
Wizards & Warriors - the sequels kinda sucked, but the first is fun
SNES:
Chrono Trigger
Radical Dreamers - story-based "book" game, but definitely worth mentioning
Soulblazer, Illusion of Time/Gaia, Terranigma -3-game series
Robotrek
Tales of Phantasia - VERY good game
Romancing SaGa I, II, III - complete patches aren't available yet
Treasure Hunter G - unique battle system, good story
Rudora no Hihou (Rudra's Secret Treasure) - has an interesting spell system
Star Ocean - BEAUTIFUL game, very awesome
Super Mario Rpg - Undeniably fun
Ys series - Like Zelda, sort of....
Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
Super Metroid - yeah, not an RPG, but still a damn good game
GBA:
Castlevania: Circle of the Moon, Harmony of Dissonance, Aria of Sorrow
Final Fantasy: Dawn of Souls - remakes of FF I & II ported from WonderSwan
Golden Sun/Golden Sun: The Lost Age - lots of fun
Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories - if you can't wait for the PS2 remake....
Mario & Luigi - Superstar Saga - PLAY THIS!!! VERY fun!
Metroid - Zero Mission - You MUST play this one, too
Sword of Mana - another remake. somewhat disappointing for me, but fun
The Legend of Zelda - The Minish Cap - Don't pass this one up!!
SATURN:
Panzer Dragoon Saga - yes, I must mention this again...
Grandia
Lunar: Silver Star Story/Lunar: Eternal Blue - are these in English?
Shining the Holy Ark
I am angered.
Everybody missed one of the best RPGs ever, on SNES.
Secret of Evermore. Seriously. Go and fucking play it. Every one of you.
Apparently Evans agrees with you...somewhat.Quote:

Ooh! *cracks knuckles*
NES - Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest II,III,IV
SNES - Final Fantasy IV, Final Fantasy V, Final Fantasy VI, Star Ocean, Tales of Phantasia, Lufia II, Illusion of Gaia, Breath of Fire II, The 7th Saga, Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, Secret of Mana, Seiken Densetsu 3.
That's all I can think of at the moment...
I haven't exactly played Mega Drive or Saturn much, so I can't really help you in that department. A few of those SNES games are japanese, but there are translation patches, so that's not really an issue.
SNES - Secrets of evermore,Earthbound
in fact...i forget all of the rpg games...lol
