I still never got Zodiark...
 
Just getting to it was a huge pain and when i finally did i lost. ;(
 
Recently started playing on it again.
 
I did beat Ultima though! 

I like FFXII too, I still like to play it but there is a boss who don't let me defeat him, Vinuskar.

I love the rarezhut site in ways that are not natural to love

Are we including SRPGs in here too? If so then I'd love to mention the original Valkyria Chronicles (PS3, PC, and soon PS4). Despite it's anime-ish aesthetic and occasional cheesiness it's probably one of the most mature games you'll play in a lot of respects. It's a lot like games such as Final Fantasy IX and Metal Gear Solid 3 in the sense that, since it doesn't always take itself too seriously, it's able to disarm you and leave you unprepared or its more serious moments. It somehow manages to sneak in themes of racism, ambiguous political morality, and genocide/ethnic cleansing at the same time that it presents you with a flying pig mascot character who's only role in the game is to act cute and say "moink!" (seriously). On the gameplay front it's one of the few SRPGs in a long time to actually try to push the genre forward; getting rid of the grid system and adding in real-time elements (i.e. interception fire), while also featuring some really brilliant level design. It also has a brilliant Hitoshi Sakimoto soundtrack, which is always a plus. Unfortunately its two sequels on the PSP are just lazy cashgrabs, but the original is really worth playing IMO. Play either the PC or upcoming PS4 version if you can.

 
  Hallelujah! It's so rare to see a XII fan these days, it makes me sad. I feel like the game gets a bad rep almost entirely because it didn't follow the storyline conventions of previous titles in the franchise, but if you're willing to look past the fact that the character that you control in towns isn't the central pillar of the story (or indeed, that there isn't a main character at all), or that it places more emphasis on political intrigue and ambiguous morality, then it's honestly one of the best video game stories out there IMO. As much as I love a lot of them, I find most Final Fantasy games tend to dumb down a lot of storyline aspects in order to place the emphasis on the emotional development of one or two central characters. Final Fantasy XII did basically the opposite and as such I think a lot of people didn't really know how to approach it or went in with misguided expectations. Also cool to see you giving Tactics a mention.

Any Koudelka fans? 
 
I also like Dragon Quest, Breath of Fire, Lunar and Chrono Trigger.
 
For Final Fantasy - It would have to be tactics/5/6/9/12 (yes really... i LIKE 12). X-2 is also a guilty pleasure of mine.
 
Current game i'm into is Fire Emblem Awakening for the 3DS.
 
Now I just need to get my own PS4... [3] 
 
This hasn't happened yet and i don't know why. 

I suddenly find you alright!

Yessss, thanks for this topic beni!!
I'm also looking forward to Persona 5! I love the Persona series, but I haven't played the first two yet...I tried playing the first one on the original PS1 but all the typos in the dialogue irked me so I think I might have to play the PSP version, haha.
 
I haven't played the first Dark Cloud yet, but I've played the second one! I agree that the gameplay is very fun if you like customizing and synthesizing!
 
I've played Koudelka once too! But not the sequels yet. I've played it a while ago so I might think about replaying it sometime soon and hopefully get to the sequels too.
 
I have a lot of favorites, but I don't think many people know about Breath of Fire. I absolutely adore the series and their characters. It's too bad that Capcom had to ruin it with the 6th installment.
Anyway, my favorite from the series is Breath of Fire IV and I absolutely love the graphics!


Couldn't find a good video that showed some of the gameplay so it's in Japanese with low quality...

I just found out that the PSN store put up Dark Cloud for download. That game was a crucial part of my childhood. 
 

 
It's a great dungeon crawler RPG where you build-up weapons and they have this Georama system thing where you have to rebuild towns. It's a really great game and everyone should play it, although I feel like nobody has. xD

Poor Izumi, the temptation of the Dark Side was too strong...

This is literally the dichotomy of good and evil

i love this thread burn miku bring on the kote

Black Gene For the Next Scene, Develop One's Faculties, My BACTERIA HEAT IsLAND (sorry/not sorry Tenten...)
 
A cool one is "Luinspear" and pretty much any 90s vk band (i can't hate them). 

Add "Ring My Hell" to the list of names that suck.

OH and HMM. At first i thought it was a ROUAGE reference... 
 
Anyway, welcome i guess!

Knew it. They were really quiet.

Souiumono is disbanding while Psycho le Cemu is back ! Bye bye.

Damn they are not having the best of luck with vocalists. I really siro too, maybe woriwori should invite az to be their vocalist or at least reform necrocircus

There are three deal breakers for me, if he can't respect my space, if he trying to change me into a person he like than taking me for what I am, and if we can't work as a team.
It is difficult to have relationship that build to last when the two people in it cannot work the differences and won't work as a team in unison.
It's like flying a jetplane, one is the main pilot and one is the co-pilot. Without good team work between the two, it will soon take a nose dive and BOOM!

refusal to accept............... my true form............................................................................

*ends up ticking off everything*
FUCK

I guess you could say the girl became the band's . . . femme fatale. 
 
;(((

I'm now definitely going to imagine that's why he's left so many freakin' bands.
 
Femme Fatale had a few good tunes but I'll join the chorus hoping this somehow turns into a full-blown Schwarz Stein comeback.

They are not fans. They are delirious, mentally unstable stalkers who seek to ruin anyone who can't live up to the expectation of how band members should be perfect, pure little snowflakes without a personal life. It's disgusting.
