what's the most underrated JRPG of the 16 bit era?

Probably something not translated to English.

>>3868891
Relative to overrated Squaresoft games?

Probably Phantasy Star IV.

>>3868891
Lufia 2.

Ignore >>3869401, he posted the most overrated one relative to its quality on accident.

>>3869401
This, followed by Lunar II: Eternal Blue.

I'm pretty sure there are plenty of underrated PC Engine and non-Square Super Famicom Japan-only RPGs as well, things like Tengai Makyo which I've never played.

What bizarro universe are you from? Literally nobody cares about it.

Not gonna lie, the most underrated is Horai High.

>>3868891
The ones not on SNES.

>>3868891
But OP, you posted a 32-bit JRPG, since the Mega Drive's CPU has 32-bit registers.

Sup bitches.

>>3869538
I'm going to play this but I have it marked on my list to get the Saturn version.
Can't remember why now.

>>3869562
If we want to talk about 16-bit games, we'd better stick to PC Engine

Dude, PSIV is widely regarded as one of the best of it's generation by pretty much every RPG fan site

>>3869601
Yeah, but your average joe doesn't even know it exists because they fell for the "Genesis has no JRPG" meme.

Only underage dipshits fall for that.

what game?

>>3869601
I'm a Nintendo fanboy and I still enjoyed PS4 but God, some areas and bosses are way too grindy.
The Macros were interesting though.

>>3869547
I actually switched to BSNES because I thought the encounter rate was an emulation bug. No, it's really supposed to be that high. Complete shit.

Robotrek/Slapstick, a neat RPG where you control and customize robots.

>some areas and bosses are way too grindy.

The fuck you on about? PS4 is one of if not THE least grindy RPG of it's generation. There are a number of side diversions and tricks that make getting stronger a breeze and macros sap all the tedium out of random battles

Knight of Xentar

In the PS1 version she actually walks in on hero completely starkers herself so it's a bit less sudden there

>>3872773
Do you not feel different being naked alone as opposed to in front of strangers?

Damn, I think Romancing SaGa is something worth mentioning but the SNES version never made it to the west. Since I'm desperately looking for a translated version of the SNES trilogy could someone help me out? I know that the first game has been fully translated but I might screw up...or I'm just retarded.

are there any non-console JRPGs translated to English? Like PC-88 or PC-98 stuff?

>>3874052
Rance series
Farland Story series
46 Okunen Monogatari: THE Shinkaron
Genesis: Beyond the Revelation
Black Onyx
Princess Maker 1+2
Ys had some non-console entries translated
Sorcerian
Dragon Knight 3
Mad Paradox
Raidy 1+2
Cobra Mission
Castle Fantasia 2

And of course games like Dragon Slayer, Hydlide 1 or Xanadu that are practically completely in English.

This is why that term is cancer. Just go back to calling them all rpgs. Like the old days.
