Let's talk about obscure JRPGs we played as kids that no one else remembers. I love Pepper Box!

Woaaa there you had me at female shota lover

>>733695908
He's around 16 or more (sequel is 6 months later) so not quite what you think.
>>
>>733695978
Oh well
>>
>>733695801
Is the Dreamcast game and the GameCube game the same game? They have different titles
>>
>>733695801
Oh hey someone played Evolution.
That art style doesn't do it justice.
Prince Eugene's fight theme is stuck in my head forever.
>>
>>733696107
Evolution 1 And 2 on the Dreamcast is Evolutions worlds on the GameCube.
>>
>>733696107
GC combines both games together but cuts a ton of areas/characters out of the first game, so it's mostly the sequel.
>>
>>733695908
she made me feel things as a kid... any other characters like this?

>>733695801
I started on NES, but I don't think there were any JRPGs that most people aren't familiar with. Games were more expensive back then, and so less common, and it's not surprising that little kid me was more interested in the fun action Marios over the slower JRPGs. The two least common games I remember playing were Lufia 2 on the SNES, and (as a WRPG) Ultima 4 on the NES. But I think everybody on this board is familiar with those two.

I wasn't a kid at the time, but I had a lot more niche JRPGs on the PS1, PS2, and Dreamcast. Time Stalkers is a Dreamcast JRPG that most people probably aren't familiar with. Chocobo Dungeon 2, and Torneko: The Last Hope, were pretty fun on PS1. Steambot Chronicles on PS2 is something that a lot of people might know but probably haven't played. Ephemeral Fantasia on PS2 was pretty fun, as well.

I do remember playing Evolution on the Dreamcast, but never really got far into the game.

Can't think of any from video games off the top of my head besides obligatory Lady Palutena ....

Minerva from Grandia 2 spends a bit of time flirting with Roan, the young boy who joins the party. It's not really something that lasts more than one scene.
>>
>>733696707
Yeees, the girl on the left is so hot.
>>
>>733695801
I hate this artist. Everything he draws legitimately looks like it has downs
>>
>>733696812
disagree, there's a tasteful bimbo vibe that is appealing
>>
>>733696707
Is Grandia 2 good? Loved the first one.
>>
>>733696963
Yeah it's solid. The plot completely falls apart towards the end, and it's linear as all hell.
But the main cast is fun, the battle system is great.

Just stay the fuck away from Grandia III.
>>
>>733696963
Also is it actually related to the first game?

I played it as an adult but Summon Night is woefully unknown.
>>
>>733695978
thats not the point
>>
>>733696963
Yes, I really enjoyed it. It doesn't have the same going-on-an-adventure that Grandia 1 had set up, but I did like having a different story to play thru rather than just rehashing the first game. Game mechanics are a bit better (you don't have to grind weapon and spell levels anymore) and can be abused a bit as a result. Max out everybody's first combat skill if you want to completely break the game.
>>
>>733697112
It has a few call backs here and there (monster design, some items, a few music tracks), but otherwise no.
>>
>>733697091
Good to know. The first was pretty linear too so I'm not surprised. I just hope 2 isn't so mindlessly easy.
>>733697112

None of the Grandia games are related to any of the other Grandia games, outside Grandia: Parallel Trippers on the GBC.
>>
>>733697178
What do you mean?

>Why are you parasitizing my post?

>>733697275
>Grandia: Parallel Trippers
I don't know what the ass this shit is but it can't possibly be bad if it has more Sue.
>>
>>733697245
It's easy, and can be completely broken if you really want to (Millenia's Eye attack, Tio in general)
The recent rerelease has a "hard" mode which makes things a bit more difficult, and I believe the Dreamcast version has a hard patch as well.
>>
>>733697331

You get teleported to another world, you run into Feena (and eventually Justin and Sue) and it's a more standard JRPG where you're running around. I don't think that the story really relates to what happened in Grandia 1, more just you have the characters and the locations in a more typical resolve-the-problem story. Combat isn't the traditional Grandia, but it does use an odd draw-cards-store-MP-for-attacks from what I remember. It was described well enough, if you actually play it.

There's a full english translation on romhacking if you want to check it out and give it a try.

Grandia Digital Museum could be considered a sequel.
Since the whole "plot" is Liete wanting to build a museum to remember everyone with, and once you complete everything, you see her tablet is colored red.

Going to post a few. First up is LAGRANGE POINT for the NES. This game sees you taking the role of a pilot sent to the Land 1 space colony to investigate the lack of communication. What you find is a population living in fear of the BIO CORPS, a race of transhumanist mutants who have already taken over the Land 2 colony. The game is a pretty prep and strategy heavy RPG for the NES - Rent a car, charge your batteries, and delve through dungeons with four of nearly a dozen party members to choose from across three worlds. Notable for incredible graphics and being the only Famicom cart to have the sound chip Lagrange Point has, giving it audio on par with PC-98. It is also well known for featuring detailed cutscene art.

Lagrange Point is Japan exclusive, but a very good translation patch exists.

Next is Metal Max Returns. This is a Japan only Super Famicom remake of the Famicom exclusive game Metal Max. It has an English translation patch via Aeon Genesis. Metal Max, and its remake Metal Max Returns, puts you in the role of the Hunter. The Hunter is kicked out of his house by his pissed off tank mechanic father for fostering dreams of being a monster hunter. See, the world of Metal Max has ended. Humanity barely scrapes together in the ruins of cities. Mutants, robots, and bandits roam about the world and blast it into an untamed wilderness. One of the most unique features of this game is that you can find, drive, customize, and fight with a number of tanks. Hundreds of items, equipment parts, tank modifications, and party load outs means no two people will have the same journey through this almost entirely open world adventure through the apocalypse. You can find a number of side quests with charming characters, help fix up a town, earn your dad's respect, and even hunt dangerous bounties. One of the best games on the system, easy.

Most people only know it as swordcraft story and even then most didn't complete the series thanks to the third one being stuck untranslated.

The gcn game is essentially the sequel with a super short and butcher overview of the first game. If you have the choice, I'd play the game on DC or DC emulation.
>>
>>733695801
nice, Ill try emulating it
>>733697275
Grandia mentioned, dude in the thumbnail looks similar
>>
>>733709801
It is fine. The gameplay is good. The issue is that the plot and characters are painfully generic. Not bad, but extremely boring and forgettable.
>>
>>733701357
Grandia 3 has the best combat which is the only notable thing about the series to begin with.
