What's the most satisfying RPG you've completed?I just finished DQ2 (GBC) for the first time (have made many attempts at it throughout my life) and it feels great. Getting to walk around the world and see a bunch of extra scenes after defeating the final boss was great. Amazing game.
>>4012399Evermore
>>4012399Love Dragon Quest 2.For me it's a toss up between Dark Cloud & Phantasy Star (PS2).
>>4012628Dark Cloud's a game I always meant to revisit as an adult. Maybe I'll check it out now that I understand the concept of roguelikes (I think it was one?).
>>4012818Yeah the dungeons are randomized.The Town building is quite fun.
The first three Trails games. What an amazing story.
>>4012958I never got myself to play 3rd despite having looked forward to it, I just don't enjoy the gameplay enough to sit through so much of its combat.
>>4013167I really like Trails' gameplay. The critical hit system and S-breaks are really cool and require you to save your ultimate attacks for ideal moments in battle rather than just spamming them as soon as they are ready. It's a lot more strategic than most RPGs.
>>4012399DQ2's up there for me too, same port too. DQ3 was the most satisfying the first time, but that's also partially because I had played 1 and 2 first.
>>4012399Arc the Lad 2, DQ8, or DQ11
>>4012399Knights of the Old Republic felt very satisfying to play as an adult after hearing about it as a kid but not playing it. I felt like I got exactly what was promised on the box.
>>4012399probably xenogears for the story alone (last dungeon was atrocious though.I don't know if it's satisfaction or nostalgia or the feeling of closure but finally beating ff9 after getting to the final dungeon as a kid and not completing it felt like a huge closure, almost a sad/retrospective feeling, like I can finally move on.Same with ff7, I think I had done about 40-50% as a kid after starting it numerous and times and had never beaten. Beat it this year and it was very satisfying even though I new everything that happened in the story from years of spoilers.So many fucking jrpgs (especially on the snes) that I started, got quite far through then gave up on as a kid.
