SOOOO TORIJ
is vagrant story a final fantasy because it is in the same world as FFT and FF12, or is it a separate game series so that you can list both that and another FF for example
If I was to make a top 30 list and only list one game per franchise, I'd probably have to list almost every game I've played on PS1.
Chalk me up as another one with that demo. The Star Wars one was Masters of.... Teras Kasi or something. Oh god I'm gonna get hate, better learn how to kick, punch - it's all in the mind.Quote:

Don't know. I never played it, so I don't have to worry about it. While we're on the subject of RPGs...Quote:

Our next game stars a guy who knows how to reinvent himself when the going get tough. He's a fighting robot! MEGA MAN!
#27 Mega Man Legends
After Mega Man, and Mega Man X, Capcom gave us Mega Man Legends on the Sony PlayStation a few years before it was ported and renamed Mega Man 64. Mega Man Legends was very different from the games that came before, as seen in the video above. Mega Man, Roll, and even Dr. Light have been given a makeover and they live in a world now almost entirely covered by water. I wonder if Mega Man Legends helped inspired The Wind Waker anyway. It's all up to the Diggers to find ancient technology in order to help civilization survive the new world they live in. We also have pirates. Because nothing is complete without pirates. The voice acting leaves a little to be desired, but it's Capcom. It's pretty much expected for their voice acting to be crap. While it doesn't come close to the many other more traditional RPGs that came around at the same time, it's still a great game to get into if you're a Mega Man fan. Check it out.

Truly Capcom's greatest legacy.
Playing Vagrant Story could potentially alter this classics list a bit! It's available on PSN, and I ranked it #10 in my top 25. Worth checking out for many reasons.Quote:

Capcom gave us so many great games that it's often sad to think about the state of the company today. In their prime they gave us Mega Man, Street Fighter, Resident Evil, and the list goes on and on, spanning from many different genres. And in an era where Japanese role-playing games were all the rage they did it again. You know what I'm talking about, brother! Give it up for BREATH OF FIRE!
#26 Breath of Fire IV
Now, to be completely honest, I don't remember much about this game, but I remember enjoying it as I played and that all that matters to me. You have Ryu, Nina, and this little robot guy with a cape or whatever running around getting into fights, and a white haired dude being a badass. This was my introduction to the Breath of Fire series and I remember it being pretty different from the likes of Final Fantasy, Legend of Legaia, and all them other RPGs I played at the time, which was good. Because with all the RPGs you have to run against you aren't going to win any favors by being like everybody else. And if you want a hook, I can't think of a bigger hook than watching a dragon turn into a grown ass man. While that isn't anything new for the series, it was new to me and that among everything else I mentioned is why it's number 26 on the list.
Dat timing.Quote:

Mega Man Legends is my SPOILER because I'll probably do one of these countdowns in the futureFOURTH favorite game of all time. Glad to see it included, unhappy to see it so low.
I've lost hope on you ever getting around to playing them *sulks in a corner*Quote:

Knocking your opponents teeth in and then bragging about it. That's why next up on the list is our first fighter. One of the best fighting games to come out in the 1990's with some of the best, and darn right craziest characters you've ever seen! Roll it!
#25 Tekken 2
Tekken 2 was the first PlayStation game I ever played. My favorite character was King because of his lion mask. I thought he looked cool. I also really liked the purple devil and angel you unlocked. You even had different kinds of animals fighting humans. It was ridiculous. “You're just copying Pumpkin.” Wrong. Pumpkin is copying me :colbert:
jaguar mask
JAGUAR MASK
He was a Catholic priest wrestler in a jaguar mask who wanted to raise money for orphans
Do you even Tekken bro
I'll have you know I can Tekken with the best of them. I'll Tekken you right now!Quote:
