Threads of Fate
It seems like every other person and his mother likes Threads of Fate, so I don't see how it's "overshadowed."
Einhänder
Legend of Mana
I bet a lot of people haven't heard of Einhänder
Unfortunately, I've played Einhander :cry:
Really? It's seemed to me that every other person and his mother thinks "Threads of Fate? Is that a lame poem or something?"Quote:

Of course, that could be different in a Final Fantasy themed community.
Threads of Fate is pretty popular around these parts. That's not to say it's not under appreciated by the "Gamer" demographic as a whole, though.
I picked up Threads of Fate at the recommendation of this very board some months ago but I didn't really take to it. I'll have to give it another shot some day, but I guess it wasn't really my cup of tea.
I guess I would say Valkyrie Profile and Valkyrie Profile 2: Silmeria, if not only going by the numbers each game sold. More specifically, sold in America. The amount of recognition they do garner just doesn't do them justice.
I'm not sure how Odin Sphere is selling currently, but I imagine it, too, will become an under appreciated game.
I'd say that Vagrant Story was somewhat overshadowed, seeing as it was a commercial failure, but a critical sucess. An awesome game though.
Legend of Mana. It gets a lot of praise but not by many people. It had a great disjointed story and a unique world that you built. Not to mention the combat/weapon system was fabulous beyond belief. One of the few games were the strategy guide came in hand for years. Eventually people figured out some tricks to it with customization of weapons.
Great game with some of the best 2D gameplay and art the PSX had to offer...ever.
I miss that game so much. I even learned the Opening/Closing song, and it's in Swedish. >_>Quote:

What's wrong with Einhander? That was an amazing shooter. I think I still have a demo of it somewhere.Quote:

Square: Legend of Mana, Vagrant Story, Brave Fencer Musashi, and Threads of Fate, King's Knight (yeah it kinda sucks but for it's time it was amusing...;) )
Enix: Robotrek, E.V.O.
I'm playing Radiata Stories on and off with my kids and it is just such a cute underrated game!
I also want this game bad. Just the soundtrack is to die for!
YouTube - Cross Gate Power-Up Kit 3
Tobal No 1. Square didnt develop it though. The fighting in that game is so weird compared to other fighters its definately worth playing.
iS: Internal Section is another very underrated title, while still Japan only, that game was very unique and fun.
LoM and VP.
They are also my 2 favs.
