Lufia 2
>>12272883Lufia 2Live A LiveRomancing SaGa 2 and 3
>>12272883Lufia Motherfucking 2and use the Frue Lufia patch.
>>12272903>star oceanit bugs me so much thats its the only game in the series that forces you to play as the protagonist in combat.
>>12272905>>12272920>>12272927damn guess I am starting lufia 2 then. does it matter I havent played 1? I will use the patched version
>>12272903interesting I didnt know megami tensei got snes remakes. Ive been meaning to play these games for a while, are they really worth going for over the NES games? I pretty much always prefer OG versions but theres a few rare exceptions
among all the fan translations ive played this one is easily my favorite, its a gem. especially if you love earthbound, you should play it. its actually the only other rpg Ive played besides mother 1 that captures the same kind of humor, sincerity and trippy contemporary setting of earthbound, though the story is a lot darker/edgier. to me this is the real mother 3 and not the travesty itoi shitted out. but for some reason it makes a lot of redditor tourists on this site seethe for some reason, just ignore them and try it yourself.
>>12272952no need to play the first game. Lufia 2 is an immediate prequel to 1, so it comes first in the story. Also, Lufia 1 is kind of a medicore game. So you can skip 1.
>>12272959It depends on your preference.Personally I think both versions are just as good but most people would rather play the snes version just because it's the more advanced system
The Adventures of Hourai High. Aeon Genesis did a fan translation a while ago:https://aeongenesis.net/projects/houraisorta EarthBound-ish (modern-day setting, surrealist humour and weird enemies, similar battle system).
>>12272883Secret of Evermore is good
>>12272989Seconding this, Evermore is awesome. Only left it off my list because I was avoiding action RPGs.
>>12272883Metal Max Returns
Old squaresoft was nonstop back then.
illusion of gaiashadowrun (ive never felt like "rpg" describes this game properly but whatever)
Front MissionBahamut Lagoon
>>12274521Secret of evermore kind of blows. I say this as someone who still has his original boxed copy I bought from the week it came out. I've probably beaten it like 10 times and it sucks every time because the dungeons are just retarded labyrinths in the dark. Don't know how I put up with it back in the day. It looks cool though
