Games you love... that no one played

[Fynn]

So here's another one of those threads where we look at games that we personally think are amazing, but this time, they're not exactly disliked by most. For some reason, these little gems have flown under people's radars.

For me, this game is Dragon Quest VI. I know this game is talked about among DQ communities (which are small sparse enough on their own), but the discussions are still few and far between. Too little people have any nostalgia for it, like they do for DQ I and III, and its story hasn't elevated it to the mythical status DQV has. So even though it is easily my favorite DQ out of the ones I've played so far, the amount of people who have played it aside from me would appear to be, like, 2, judging by Internet forums.

FFXII: Revenant Wings & FF CC: Ring of Fates.

Future Cop: LAPD. You play a big mecha robot and you stomp the hell out of ne'er-do-wells in LA, from worm worshipping cultists capturing a movie star to mutants that have taken over a prison. Who do you think developed this game? The answer will surprise youElectronic Arts!

FFXII: Revenant Wings

Oh yeah, that game.

Most of the time I just try to forget about it. Curse the Toriyama taint. How dare he touch FFXII

I mean, the gameplay was fine. I don't play RTSes much, but the battles were pretty cool.

But the story was just FFX-2 in Ivalice, which is lame

I can think of several but I feel like I evangelize a lot of them at this forum already

I guess a simple example would be The Devil on G-string. It got put on Steam a while back and pretty much ignored.

Shadow Hearts series. Some people know of it, but I feel like I really only know one other person who ever played them. And they're so damn good.

Future Cop is amazing. And the multiplayer was quite good.

It was one of the most charming, original, visually beautiful, fun games I experienced during the 7th gen.

No one played it.

Septerra Core, it's such a nice little RPG with one of the best world maps. It has a battle system like Chrono Trigger, where you can see the enemies on screen and your party jumps into position. And you can do "Dual and Triple Tech" with your spell cards. The battles are also a low point, they are really, really slow. The voice acting is still pretty good. How many other games from 1999 can you say that for?

And it came bundled with another game Shogo. It was this first person shooter mech game with a decent story. It was very Gundam.

Persona 2 is probably the most overlooked entry, being between the awkward first game that the newer fans hated and super popular P3 and 4.

Also Gitaroo Man, hell Rhythm games in general is just one of those genres no one ever talks about.

I do want to play Persona 2 at some point.

If only because you can be gay in it. That, and I'm liking his shirt and tie look!

Crystal Chronicles is my favorite multiplayer game of all time. I know very very few people who have played it outside of my closest friends and siblings because I bought the four GBAs and link cables to play it.
