| No, tbh I didnt really like FF games past the SNES version.
I was thinking more along the lines of Shining Force I and II. Lots of hidden characters and they all have a 'personality' which I enjoy and almost NEED in a good team RPG. I remember spending DAYS leveling up Bleu so he could be a powerhouse right from the start. It is dated, no doubt, but a strong game no contest. The Fire Emblem series are good as well, though I have played far fewer than I was aware even existed.
What I like in a team based RPG more than anything is a single player who I represent and then predefined personalities who travel with me.
I will never forget Gong, Bleu, Gort, Dogmeat, Cassidy, Marcus(why won't he learn to not shoot Dogmeat?!), Vaconia(spelling?), Minsc & BOO! Go for the EYES Boo!
I could go on and on, I spent 2 hours the other day talking with some friends about our experiences with Fallout and Baldur's Gate (they were Nintendo kids and missed out on Shining Force). |
