    Default Thinking about doing a Let's Play!

    Not in the nearest future, though But shion's Chrono Trigger Let's Play has inspired me to try and do one of these some day! Preferably a game I haven't played yet, also preferably on the SNES or GBA, so I can easily play it on my PC and take screenshots. And it needs to be an RPG. I was thinking of trying Ogre Battle: March of the Black Queen, as I am now in the middle of Tactics Ogre and loving it to bits, but I'm not sure if it lends itself well to an LP. DO you guys have any other suggestions?

    Golden Sun.

    You could also try Megaman Battle Network, as those are fantastic little underrated RPGs (MMBN3 is the best, and it is understandable without playing the others).

    Ooh, or Fire Emblem (the original GBA one, I prefer it to Sacred Stones).
    My friend Delzethin is currently running a GoFundMe account to pay for some extended medical troubles he's had. He's had chronic issues and lifetime troubles that have really crippled his career opportunities, and he's trying to get enough funding to get back to a stable medical situation. If you like his content, please support his GoFundMe, or even just contribute to his Patreon.

    He can really use a hand with this, and any support you can offer is appreciated.

    Played Golden Sun like five times, so I don't think so, unless I'm really in the mood for it again somehow. Megaman Battle Network I've tried once and didn't really like it. I'll think about that Fire Emblem, as long as I don't get SRPG burnout after Tactics Ogre.

    Lufia 2: Rise of the Sinistrals or Robotrek if you want some not often played gems. You could also try Live a Live or one of the Romancing Saga games. If you feel really masochistic I would say try out Shin Megami Tensei.

    Never heard of it, so it's a good candidate.

    Yeah, tried it and got a bit overwhelmed. Plus, I think only the first and third one are in full English, and 2 seemed the most interesting to me

    I have. Don't intend to try again anytme soon. Defninitely NOT for an LP. Though they have an iOS version... Hmm...

    One of the many Fire Emblem games? Or perhaps Tales of Phantasia?

    Both sound pretty good. I actually have Awakening but can't play it yet because my dad has it and he's far away. But like I said before - after Tactics Ogre I might be suffering from SRPG burnout, so that may not be feasible. I've always wanted to try the Tales series, though, so that might be the best suggestion yet! Thanks, Aulayna

    What sort of system or era do you want to play with? Is it retro, or would you like to do a LP with a more modern game? I think a LP of Heavy Rain would be good.

    ...

    Tales of Phantasia would be cool, especially if you haven't Tales'd before.

    Tales of Phantasia isn't too bad. I played it on a SNES or GBA emulator a few years back.

    Have you played FFTA (Tactics advance)? Like Fire Emblem with Final Fantasy elements. I loved it growing up. I kinda want nintendo to re-release it on the eshop for I have an excuse to play it again :P

    Like I said, it needs to be SNES or GBA so that I can emulate and screencap it easily. I don't own a home console now, and I have no way of screencapping 3DS or PSP games. Also, my computer is kinda slow, so I can't emulate anything later than the GBA

    Mr. Shauna - FFTA is definitely one of my favorite FFs of all time, and I really think it is the best written of the series. Needless to say, that's not what I';m going for with this hypothetical LP. I really want you guys to see how I experience a game for the first time.

    Once there's a substantial amount of suggestions, I'm thinking of opening a poll, so that people can vote on what game they want me to play. Should be fun

    Damn. Heavy Rain would have been an amazing LP.

    Hmm... I don't really know many RPGs on those systems. I mean, there's Fire Emblem, Golden Sun, which has been said before. There's also FF: Tactics and FF: Tactics Advance, but you've played those to death probably.

    Past that. I'm struggling. Sorry I can't be of any help Fynn

    Nah, it's okay I already have plenty of suggestions anyway. You can help vote later on!

    I'm not super familiar with GBA and SNES games (I started my gaming days on Playstation and N64) but as someone who also has a crap computer, the Desmume whatever DS emulator is great. It's had the least issues for me and it's more user friendly for someone who sucks at this stuff, I find. It also has a lot of classic games, like the earlier Final Fantasy's and Chrono Trigger and a good number of other RPG's. You know your computer better than I do, but like I said, mine is crap and it plays the DS emulator flawlessly. Might be worth looking in to.
