Looking for something new to play. I have played all the good RPG games on SNES and i am curious what good games the Playstation has in its library.

Anything not made by Japs is good.

RPG games is redundant.

The PSX has a lot of "good" JRPGs. JRPGs tend to be linear, only giving you an illusion of choice and openness. The result is that they're not fun to play, but sometimes they're an entertaining ride.

>>3949149
This, Jerperguers are braindead shit.
>>
SOTN was not linear and i enjoyed this one immensely. Anything more like this?
>>
>>3949159
Ehhhhh, that's not an RPG.
>>
>>3949161

Its an action RPG like Terranigma or Illusion of Gaia.
>>
>>3949141
>>3949145
These. Play the Wizardry ports.
>>
>>3949165
Ehhhh I dunno man. I disagree.
>>
>>3949170

The only difference is the camera angle. Its RPG in my books.

>>
>>3949245
that's the opposite extreme
>>
FF 7 & 9
Legend of Mana
Valkyrie Profile
Suikoden 2
Xenogears

Final Fantasy Tactics
Valkyrie Profile
Legend of Legaia
>>
Lunar The Silver Star Story and then Eternal Blue

To be honest, the PS has probably the best Good to Bad RPG ratio.
You could probably pick one that looks interesting to you randomly and enjoy it.

Gaurdians Crusade looks fun.

No love for Jade Cocoon?

If someone says something like that you can assume he knows Japanese.

cool, what's a "PSX"?

Because it says "Playstation" in the upper corner there, do you read that, Playstation?

cool, now show me game boxes that had "PSX" on the front with the logo, or uhm, I dunno, a "PSX" when you boot the playstation.

Gaming magazines, jesus, you're not even trying to defend your forced meme. I mean look at the amount of effort put into this picture.. just sad. Are you that desperate to sound cool?

because saying psx makes you sound like an asshole, as you already know- but it also makes you sound stupid

Stop responding to the PSX memesters. PSX was a DVD-R capable PS2 released only in Japan.

this. I guess I'll ignore it from now on.

i used to always type "ps1" but now i'm going to switch to "psx" just to trigger you autists
>>
>>3950872
>uhh excuse me why don't you use the OFFICIAL COMPANY MANDATED BRANDING, i guess you're not an OFFICIAL GAMER like myself, please stay ON BRAND from now on

fuck off. it was always called the psx, i'm not going to switch now because of you
>>
>>3950915
What triggers me is phone posting newfags.
>>
>>3950921
lol you fuck off, your post is bleeding with insecurity; why did you literally have to retype and edit what I said to act offended by it? You're sick in the head.
>>
>>3950883
I think you meant to say Breath of Fire 4.
But don't worry, it's an easy mistake to make ^_^
>>
>>3950894
Of course not. I downloaded one just to make sure not to miss anything without having to play Suikoden 1.
>>
Wild ARMs. Fuck what anyone else says. Do it OP, and do it now.
>>
>>3949583
I feel like WA2 doesn't get enough love. Why is that?
Excluding the spotty localization, I enjoyed it a lot.
>>
>>3949132
The Playstation RPG library is a thing of beauty, man, there's so many good games to choose from.
How about you list the SNES RPGs you enjoyed the most, that way we can recommend something closer to it.
>>
>>3951164
Playstation JRPGs are just as shallow as 16 bit JRPGs except they incorporate some of the worst aspects of modern gaming by having long unskippable cutscenes and loading times.
>>
>>3951164

Chrono Trigger
Lufia 1 and II
Soul Blazer
Illusion of Gaia
Terranigma
>>
>>3950983
I'm triggered.
>>
>>3949149
Crpgs are linear too if you break them down. If you are into roleplaying, it has to be pen and papr, even then, that's linear because the variation is limited to the mind of the players and GM. I guess nothing fucking matters.

>>3950872
You are a gay nerd and I could easily kick your ass

Say what you will the thing is that Jayperguers would be a hell of a lot better if they made 60% of the content optional.
>>
>>3952071
Come at me, bro
>>
>>3949132
Avoid Xenogears, Chrono Cross, Suikoden 1 & 2, Legend of Dragoon, the Breath of fire games ff8 & 9 coz they're all shit.
There are plenty of others though that are actually good
>>
>>3952104
yeah, ignore this fag

you can skip xenogears though
>>
>>3952104
I understand some of these, but why Suikoden?
>>
>>3952104

What games would you recommend then?
>>
>>3952104
>There are plenty of others though that are actually good

Great examples, man.
>>
>>3950516
Oh, it is my friend.
>>
>>3952064
Can you give an example of how CRPGs are linear if you break them down?
>>
>>3952592
Linear as in, can only do a thing at a time.

why are most ps1 rpg's not fully 3d like shining force 3 or panzer dragoon saga?
wasn't it supposed to be a "3d powerhouse"?
>>
>>3950872
kek... even back in the 90s everyone I knew called it a psx. Trying to force your autism on anyone with your IT WASNT CALLED THAT s hows you're underage....and werent playing psx when it was in it's prime.

I find calling it ps1 odd since nobody ever called it that back in it's prime.
>>
>>3953590
>even back in the 90s everyone I knew called it a psx.
Anecdotal evidence AGAIN? Back in my neighborhood everyone called it Playstation so there.
>>
>>3953625
It might be a regional thing.
Where I live (western Europe), most people used to call it PSX, including game magazines.

>>
>>3950872
In my country they called it the Play. Why do you not call it that way?
>>
>>3949586
>battle system
No matter what, all JRPGs boil down to: use your strongest attack and heal yourself
>>
>>3949165
It's an action platformer with RPG elements.
>>
>>3955889
that's true for all rpgs though
>>
>>3955959
You need to play more RPGs, western ones not Jap crap.
>>
>>3955964
I did, they sucked
and they had way more talking to npcs which made them extra boring
no thanks
>>
>>3955970
Sounds like you didn't play Wizardry..
>>
>>3949583
My nigga

Wild Arms 1 & 2 were amazing
>>
>>3955889
This. JRPGs are shallow games.
