What are some /vr/ JRPGs with a heavy or stronger than usual

>>4251794
Rance games I guess.

>>4251794
If you liked Grandia's characters you might also like Skies of Arcadia's.

>>4251794
Final Fantasy from IV upwards if you're 14 at heart

Lunar 1 and 2

>>4251794
Chrono Trigger, even though it has a silent protagonist it still focuses plenty on character interaction.

SaGa Frontier 2.

Bahamut Lagoon is always overlooked and i say it features great characters.

>>4251794
The characters are oneof the main reasons I hated that game ao much. The Lunars were very solid though which is partly why it was such a let down.

Also Legend of Mana has some very good character work.

SaGa Frontier 2 as well.

Like this anon said >>4251958 Skies of Arcadia has some pretty fleshed out characters for what it is. Main character is a 10/10 protag, and the two girls he hangs around with are great in their own right.

SoA also has a great sense of adventure in a similar vain to Grandia.

been trying out Star Ocean: The 2nd Story on PS1. I think the characters are very engaging so far from what I've seen.

It's good so far. I also played a bit more of the original Star Ocean and it focuses on character building and their depth more than some other RPGs I've known.

I can recommend that series.

Phantasy Star

Both Lunar games sound like exactly what you're looking for, OP. Tales games also have a heavy focus on characters though YMMV on the quality.

>>4251794
Every time I try to play this game I suddenly remember how godawful the dub is and that you can't switch the voices or turn it off.

I gotta learn moon or something if I'm ever gonna play Grandia.

There's an undub patch online
>>4252965
Trails in the sky? That's not retro

But it does have what OP is looking for

Does the game emulate well? PSX and PS2 emulation has been pretty iffy in my experience.

The character writing is great, some of the best on the SNES, even if the plot is pretty generic.

>>4253389
One of the most overrated RPGs. The writing was terrible, and judging by the screen >>4252141 used I'd say they're aware of it and were being sarcastic.

>>4253398
It's almost like you have trouble when a story is being playful. Go back to "muh planescape"

>>4252948
I kind of like the dub, reminds me of Saturday morning cartoons on Fox Kids.

Mednafen plays literally everything that runs on a real console (not all romhacks do).

>>4253538
Not him but it was my first NTR. Wasn't cool

>>4252141
It really does. I like that everyone has their own thing going on. It makes the ship feel really alive.

>>4253869
It doesn't play if it's a bad rip in a weird format, and sometimes even converting to bin cue doesn't work.

>>4256261
Then don't use a bad rip?

>>4256261
Just download the whole NTSCU set off archive.org

Legend of Dragoon is fun, Rhapsody a musical adventure is great, Persona 2 is good but the lead is silent so I dont know if it counts that the rest of the party get good development.
