This is the only JRPG on the N64. Isn't that SAD? They had

What about Ogre Battle?

>>322849627
The PS1 took all of Nintendo's third parties. Most critical one was Square. Thus the N64 was a machine that had mostly first party games, with the odd third party title here and there.

rts

>>322849748
more of a strategy rpg

Space limitations brought you by cartridges.

JRPG's took a lot of space you know, even in the PSX, they had to use 2 or more discs to fit in a whole game.

>>322849627
All the JRPG developers fled to PlayStation because compact disc technology

That's literally it

Super Mario RPG was bad and it was 3D.

They had paper fucking mario as a template and couldn't even copy the qualify of life improvements that were already there. It's like they didn't even play the game. "oh yeah man yoshi should jump a centimeter off the ground AND stop you from entering any tunnels and doors and talking to other people while you're on him" fuck you

It would be sad if it wasn't the best rpg of that generation.

What about Quest 64

>>322849627
Yamaguchi openly discouraged JRPG's because he thought they were for lonely basement dwellers.

Weird thing is I think Suikoden 2 and the BoF games had like one FMV so it's hardly a stretch for them to be 64 games.

Is Megaman Legends an RPG?

>>322849627
at least PM64 is super fucking good and a classic

>>322852608
Amen. My brother in particular is obsessed with Paper Mario, beaten it 6 times and counting. I've only beaten it once but damn did I have a lot of fun

Funny thing, it was one of THE best games in the genre.

>>322854995
I wholeheartedly agree.
It's weird how small of a library the N64 had yet I enjoyed every game I played on it.

>>322855337
You could say Yamauchi did what he did to assure quality control, and it showed tenfold.

Aidyn Chronicles

>>322849627
Quest 64

>>322849884
most of that space was taken up by shitty cutscenes

At least it was a damn good one.

>>322853021
Beaten it nearly 3 or 4 times, definitely one of the best N64 titles.

>>322858130
I barely consider this a game. It was a rental I was excited for and...i broke out my game genie to make it more interesting.

>>322849627

>all these b-b-but Quest 64 plebs

okay how about a GOOD rpg besides Paper Mario on the N64 as an exclusive?

Aidyn chronicles, though it wasn't a jrpg

>>322859703
It's bad, senpai.

The only redeeming feature was the magic system, and it was horribly unbalanced.

The Saturn had the best JRPGs
>>322850651
You mean Holy Magic Century?

>>322857379
Holy shit, how have I never realized that all of the Paper Mario 1 partners are based off Mario's enemies till now? What the fuck?

>>322859805
I liked it. People kept saying things were wrong with it that I didn't have a problem with. People said it was harder and required more grinding than it actually did. People said dodging was hard.

Literally all of those people need to git gud. It had many many flaws, but it was by no means a bad game. It was at least a 6/10 when I played it.

Well, except for Watt, unless she's from one of the few Mario games I haven't play-oh wait Mario 2 or World maybe.

>>322859956

Pretty sure Watt is based on Hotheads from World.

>>322851664
It does have a lot of RPG elements/inspiration to it in the customization, character interaction, and the world on the whole, but I'd say it's still more of an action/adventure than anything.

>>322860553
Somebody get this hothead out of here.

>>322849627
The problem was the FMV meme in the 90s.

I'd say Super Mario RPG is overrated to hell and back, but its not a bad game, and a lot of those points are complete bullshit

>the original characters Mallow and Geno were so bad they never appeared in anything else, ever

Geno made a cameo appearance in M&L Superstar Saga and is a mii costume in Smash 4

>>322850037
Culex is an optional boss, Bowser is awesome in any game that has him be your ally especially the RPGs, and Mallow and Geno are owned by Square not Nintendo so Square lets them rot.

The only good one is SF3

We almost had Earthbound 64. It got really far into development until they switched to the gba

PM, Ogre Battle, Quest 64, Hybrid Heaven are the only JRPGs I can think of on the N64. There was also like one more, but I remember it not being good at all, so I forgot its name.

>No mentions of Wonder Project J2

I'm disappointed in you /v/

>>322865948
To be fair, that was Japan only originally. Also, wasn't that more of a raising simulator or something?

>>322850037
The only complaints I have with it are how useless Mallow is, how similar Bowser and Geno were in terms of stats, and the platforming bits in the overworld. No 3D Isometric game with a D-pad should EVER have precision platforming.

Isometric platforming is a vidya sin

You're forgetting the massive kickbacks Sony was handing out.
Developers weren't running to the Saturn, Sega CD, and Neo Geo CD in droves just because they used discs.

Don't forget that it was at the very end of the console's lineup since they had to squeeze the hell out of the cartridge space, and also without cutscenes, voice acting, and other jazz used in PS1 RPGs

Paper Mario is fucking great though and better than 95% of the PS1's RPGs.
