Thread: Epic 16-bit RPGs?

  1. #1

    Default Epic 16-bit RPGs?

    Name your most favorite RPGs which fit into that category.
    I would say my best would be Shining Force.
    EOFF needs a resurgence to it's former glory.

    Soleil, which actually sees you travel through thousands of years of time and even to Heaven. Doesn't get much more epic than that.
    There is no signature here. Move along.

    Final Fantasy IV, Final Fantasy VI, Chrono Trigger, Arcana, and Mother 2 immediately come to mind.

    As far as Epic goes, I'll Tag Breath of Fire II and Lufia II on to Necro's list.

    I mean not only fighting against a Church, but the Very Deity that church worships? Epic.

    Fighting against Giant Sinistresl who basicly represent the elements of Destruction, Chaos, Death, and Terror? What more could one want?

    FFXIV Character

    Ekhi Ysengrim (Brynhildr)

    Default

    All the above + Phantasy Star II

    I dunno if it was the first but (SPOILER) it killed off a main character. Said main character was in the team up until then and she leveled really, really fast. Plus, not to mention random encounters change from Monsters to Mechinacal about halfway through.

    I believe it is the first game. People seem to forget this ( or rather just dont know ) when they give credit to FFVII. Shame.

    I think ill go with Phantasy Star II as well actually.

    Chrono Trigger tops the pile. Otherwise, FFIV, V and VI are well worth mentioning, as is Seiken Densetsu III.
    Not my words Carol, the words of Top Gear magazine.

    Final Fantasy VI, Chrono Trigger, Legend of Heroes (wasn't released in NA until the PSP came out, I believe)...

    And now for something no one has mentioned (I think), The freaking MANA SERIES!! zOMG!

    And Star Ocean? Was SO2 16bit? I know it was for the PS, but the graphics were NOT PS1 style.

    FF VI, the final dungeon music doesn't get any more epic than that, and Breath of Fire, to a lesser extent.
