What classic RPGs will induce a lot of feels? Earthbound's

>>2783376
What do you mean by "RPG"? To role-play requires an audience and is not possible in a single-player game per Gary Gygax.

faggot

Chrono Trigger's music alone gives me the feels, but I didn't really give a shit about the story. Specifically this theme:

Not retro, but I cried like a bitch during a certain plot twist in MGS2.

Am I weird for getting the feels every time I hear Terra's Theme in Final Fantasy VI?

Actually, that whole game gave me feels.

>>2783376
Depends on what you mean by "feels." Do you want a sad game? A game that tries to make you feel a lot of different things? A game that's simple and sweet?

Final Fantasy 6 is a good contender if you want a story that has strong low-points for its characters. The battle system is kind of bare-bones though.

Not retro, but Mother 3, the sequel to Earthbound, hits the player with some pretty heavy stuff. Definitely check it out if you liked Earthbound.

Undertale is really good too and was inspired by Earthbound, and is in a retro style but just came out this year so we can't talk about it here.

>>2783376
Not an RPG but try Klonoa and Klonoa 2

>>2783376
Chrono Cross has a couple of extremely sad moments.

Panzer Dragoon Saga made me tear up at the end. Beautiful ending.

>>2783376

Like >>2783403 said, CT has some pretty feel inducing music, but the storyline isn't incredibly sad. The retro game that made me feel the most was probably Majora's Mask. The entire game has you reliving three incredibly depressing days over and over; if something good happens, it's back to square one in a short time anyways.

I was about 9 while playing FF6 for the first time. I fucked up and let Cid die. That combined with Celes trying to kill herself had me crying like a bitch.

>>2783376
FF6
CT
Fei's childhood flashbacks in Xenogears
Lunar 2
Phantasy Star 2
Kirby's Dreamland
Paper Mario

>>2783414
Pretty sure we all cried when we realized Raiden was a dude.

Rocket Propelled Grenade

Suikoden 1 and 2 were moving, so was Lunar 2.

Feels of boredom and making me fall asleep.... to death bro.

>>2786719
And you think that Earthbound is Fun ?

>>2784461
Japanese Rocket Propelled Grenades are better than Western Rocket Propelled Grenades.

here OP

a classic JRPG, set in World War 1
This induces a lot of feel for me. Came close to crying a few times.

>>2787639
It's no RETRO MOFO.

>>2787686
actually it is retro. did you mean "classic" or do you just not understand what that word means?

Ore no Shikabane wo Koete. Great ass game, if you understand Japanese, that is.

Have you played the first Mother game? It got more of a reaction out of me than Earthbound.

this game, man. a lot of the quest are wacky and zany as the world is, but some of them takes a real jab to your gut.

and then there's Valkyrie Profile

>>2788713
The gameplay really doesn't hold up, and the plot doesn't kick in at all til like the last town. I don't think I would've enjoyed it at all if it wasn't related to Earthbound.

Getting the Flute in ALTTP

>>2783561

Right in the feels everytime! Also, Eye's on Me.

>>2788747
ouch... the first time I went through the graveyard of toys was jarring. it was like peeking into a pastel colored meat grinder

>>2787697
he means "retro" according to the rules of the board. it has to be a game released before 2000, or fitting some other parameters. read the sticky

>>2783551
Especially the former. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1XwmILHOYk

This is the objective answer to your question, OP.

>>2783376

Video games aren't for crying, you emo faggot.

If you want retro feels go listen to The Cure.

Final Fantasy 5 has a couple of feel moments, such as Syldra's and Galuf's deaths

It works because it contrasts with the general happier feel, unlike, say FF6 which was fairly sombre from the start.

>>2788954

How could you cry with lines like "I thank you for arousing me!" constantly popping up? That game was just like its predecessor: hysterical mediocrity.

>>2784335
>Kirby's Dreamland
I like it, but why is it feel-inducing? Because it's old and light-hearted?

>>2788909
I fucking loved that sidequest, even though it basically required nothing but digging from you. Its amazing how Hyrule seemed so populated and full of life. I didnt realize until i replayed it years later that theres really only one town and links house.

Don't ask me why, but Final Fantasy 8 always makes me feel a lot more than the others, I think it's really targeted at that angsty teen phase, really captures the uncertainty and bubbling cocktail of burgeoning emotions.

BoF 3 also got a lot from me but I think that was a little bit more because me and my brother played it together and there's kinda a brother story that pans out

>>2789689
Playing it for the flute boy makes me cri everytime.
>i didnt ask for this feels trips

>>2789689
Also i love the easteregg with the flute
When you play it to the old man in the bar, in the village, its the flute boys father. But they get reunited if you are to beat the game i believe i cant remember so it nots all bad.

>>2789634
I could see from a nostalgia point yeah. The game (Dreamland 3 is what I'm thinking of) is like crystallized childhood right there.

>>2786739

More fun than a half-hour straight of Fei in a fucking rocking chair? I'm gonna go with "Yes.".

>>2788909
Also the end of the game, when Link uses the Golden Power to undo everything Ganon did, including bringing back his uncle. I'd played through the beginning so many times and gotten attached to the uncle, but by the time I actually beat the whole game I'd forgotten him completely. It was nice to see him again.

>>2788934
its my opinion that the board rules are also wrong

>>2791568
Yeah the ending is great!

>>2786710
This so much.

>>2788954
Pacing issues aside, Terranigma did have some powerful scenes. The ending, in particular, is so bitter-sweet. I think the game deserved to be fleshed out in terms of exposition
