Wow... So this was one of the games I bought from eBay a week or so ago, and it was the cheapest game I got... Price was $14, and it also came with a box. So I got it two days ago (or was it yesterday... memory's kind of blurry since I was sleeping during the day yesterday due to high temp), and I gotta say.... Holy crap, this game is AMAZING.

It's basically the perfect linear RPG. The story is very finely crafted, all beginning when a character called Will discovers that he has telekinetic powers. Afterwards, upon returning to his house, he sees that the princess of a neighboring castle has escaped and ended up in his house! The princess is caught, and Will ventures toward the castle. He is caught, sent into a jail, and has to break out... So you break out, take the princess with you... and that's the part I'm at right now. The only place where there was combat was after I escaped from the prison and wanted to climb up to the cellar, and wow...

It's so simple, yet so fun! And the sound effects come from ACTRAISER!!! Not surprising, seeing as the developers are the same... No wonder this game rocks so much...

So everyone, I implore you... Get this game if it comes out on the Virtual Console, or pick it up if you have an SNES. It's going to be worth your time... And I can happily proclaim that this is the best RPG I have ever played... Well, not counting Fire Emblem, but that's more of a strategy game anyway.
 
Sounds like a good game. Unfortunatly, I don't have a SNES. But if it comes out for VC, I have about 5000 points. Need to buy OoT ASAP.

It's not just a good game, it's the best RPG ever made.


:p

Oooh... SNES's are cheap nowadays, though. I got mine for a high price, though, I wish I would've waited a bit... (got the console, two controllers, Mario All Stars + World, and Yoshi's Island for $100... you can get that for half the price now, maybe lower if you look around). So perhaps it might be worth investing just for the authentic experience.

Perhaps, I'll look into it. BTW, is Actraiser NES or SNES?

ActRaiser is on the SNES, and it's available on the Virtual Console right now... So since you have a lot of points, I suggest you get it. It's the best VC game out right now.

I've heard it's good, so I'll get it next time I'm shopping. Isn't OoT out though?

OoT is out, and it's worse than ActRaiser. :rolleyes:

I'd get it, but the story's been ruined for me.
Uhh, right... Just about the first 20 minutes of it... And the games SO not 60 hours long.

...

Wait a minute.

Good job, that definitely added to the discussion! The fact that you also mentioned what the best RPG is also helps boost discussion. AND I am sure that you played Illusion Of Gaia before. You wouldn't talk about it if you haven't played it, eh? Of COURSE not.......

Was I talking about you?
No D:
Yeah, you were talking about the game itself... And I think I sufficiently explained that the game is 60 hours long...

No, I'm seriously not trying to make a joke with you or anything. Some jerk told me the entire plot of this game, and now I don't want to play it.
I play for story, if anything. Story > Gameplay > Graphics

I might still pick it up on the VC however. I've only bought SM64 and SF64 from it...
But yeah, it sucks. Kinda like watching Star Wars the day it came out and already knowing Darth Vader was Luke's father

I'm rarely prejudice in a good way. I would never call a no name game the best RPG. And...idk Pokemon is the best RPG, I guess.

Wait, no name? So you're saying a niche game has no chance of competing with the "greats"? Blasphemy.
