Originally posted by Ailure Earthbound NES and SNES are great, thought the first one is much harder yet so much funnier. The mere fact that you get to beat up a hippie is well worth the time to get it. |

| I never heard about Terranigma being nixed due to religious issues... my guess is that it would have come out in late '96 or so and that was way too late in the system's lifespan for a big RPG. | |||

Originally posted by Colin That'd be my guess too. Plus, it was Enix. Games from them seemed hard to come by either way. |

Wikipedia says that Enix had closed up shop by then in America which would have also explained no Dragon Quest VI... Nintendo Power was hyping it up a bit.  |

| Hmm, I guess its nice to finally have that cleared up.
Still, I'll continue to hate on Square / whoever it was that prevented the US from getting Seiken Densetsu 3.  |

Again, would have been released in late 1996 or so and I don't think any company wanted to spend that amount of time on a translation at that point. The SNES was fading.  |

Originally posted by Racer XeoOriginally posted by Colin Terranigma was released in late 1995. More importantly, they did release it in "double-digit amount of different languages to translate to" Europe. |

Originally posted by blackhole89Originally posted by Racer XeoOriginally posted by Colin Well, US wise, its always seemed hard to find Enix SNES games around here. Then again I'm kind of saying that as of now. I can't really remember what it was like back in the day. But yeah, either way. The US didn't get that gem.  (edited by Racer Xeo on 01-22-07 02:34 PM) |

| Enix; they made some unheralded classics! If your Japanese is up to the challenge (and even if it isn't; just muddle through somehow!), I highly recommend Winder Project J. Obscure, yes, but a whole lot of fun!
I just downloaded the translated Star Ocean; I played that in Japanese on a cart around 1998 and loved it. Have to choose different characters this time. That was my second Tri-Ace game (after Tales of Destiny); those guys sure can put together a fun adventure. Ever notice how a lot of games from that era used multiple main characters so that you could go through the game several times? At the time I found that to be a turnoff, thinking that I wanted to experience a game in its entirety and not have to do things over and over, but now with savestates and cheats, the idea of many runthroughs is less daunting. And Gideon, I had no idea about that latest patch for Rudra! Looking at those slides, I'm about to abandon my Japanese-original efforts and play yours instead! (This VWF implementation everywherre sure is impressive -- I'd like to get one of those in the baseball games I hack! And F-Zero Climax...) All this talk about games of a decade ago is a great trip down memory lane... there are just so many good ones. I'm going to give Rudra 2.00 a shot, then maybe finish SMRPG and Tenchi Sozo (Terranigma). How many hours does that game take? Mine seemed to last forever, and I'm not sure how far I was through it when I got stuck. |

| Lufia 2 is the only correct answer. Well, that I've given so far. (ahem) Not so big on the first one, actually. | |||

Originally posted by Heian-794 Wonder Project J is fully translated. The vastly superior N64 game Wonder Project J2, however, is not. |

Originally posted by KailieannOriginally posted by Heian-794 Kailieann, you're kidding! WPJ is a wonderful game and I'm ecstatic to see that other people like it. Back when I played it, there were no strategy guides, no GameFAQs, and noe of my friends had played it. Sink or swim! Getting to the end brought a real feeling of accomplishment. And that said, I chose Rudra no Hihou, English patch 2.00, as my late-SNES-era RPG and it has not disappointed in the least! |

| I remember renting Lufia and liking it... but Lufia 2 just makes the first one look outdated.
Fantastic RPG. Good luck beating the Ancient Cave without cheating.  |

| My best friend has done that...not knowing how to kill the final "boss", thinking he killed it, yet didn't get rewarded.
Anyone got all of the Ancient Cave artifacts? What happens? 
I've read that a couple of you guys have played/are playing through Secret of Mana and Terranigma in their original Japanese forms. How do the stories differ? PLEASE! I love these two games to death, and I need to know! They're the two best games of all time IMO. 
I quite hated the ending of Terranigma. The game got released here in Australia, too BTW.
Spoiler (Terranigma Ending Confusion):I'm not quite sure I ever understood it properly.
Does Ark die, then get reborn as that baby (or "babe" as they call it), then that's it? Pretty lame IMO. Bloody Mary wasn't the only hard boss. I killed her taking only 1s off her, too.
Every time I've played the game, I've only taken that much off tha' bitch. Two hours is a bit of an exageration. More like half an hour.
Anyway! Remember Eklemata? That snowy place with the Yetis and hot springs? I've fought that morphing boss a few times at lower-than-reccomended levels. He's a bitch when you take off hardly anything. Way worse than Bloody Mary. |

| I will definitely get to some of those other classics soon enough, but for now it's the Rudras that are occupying my attention.
(Newbish question: how do you speed up the text on the screen? It's slooooooooooo...ooo...ooow.) Moppy, I loved Tales of Phantasia. Played it on PSX over a New Year holiday when I was sick for six straight days. I knew nothing about the game at the time except for its sterling reputation (and the contents of Tales of Destiny, which was also good). The ending confused me a bit (and the mechanics of its time travel), but what a wonderful adventure that was. |
