Lesser known RPGs
0bsessions:
I referenced Chrono Trigger in the same manner some had mentioned Xenogears. Both are very well known RPG's, but get nowhere near the press of Final Fantasy, and that is the general idea of what the topic creator said. Beyond that, Chrono Cross isn't that well known outside RPG fans, not nearly to the extent of its predecessor.
I have heard of Suikoden Tactics and avoided it entirely based off the tie-in to Suikoden IV. With how much of a letdown that game was, I saw no point in wandering into a genre I don't even like (Turn based strategy doesn't much appeal to me) to play a game spun off a game I don't like. I do wish they'd release a port of the Suikogaiden games in the US. For anyone not aware of them, they're two card based RPG's based around the time frame of Suikoden II. The main protagonist is Nash (A supporting character from Chris' story in Suikoden III) and you run into a whole lot of characters from the first two games. I've never been able to give them a try, unfortunately.

Wow, was Suikoden IV really that bad? I was going to try it out after the great stories from the first 3 (especially III and the Luc plot)...
Lesser known RPGs... how about Persona series? I played part 1 on playstation and it was pretty damn difficult...

Here is the review for number 3 in the series...
If you look at how the main character summons his "Persona" I don't think this game will be coming out in the United States :laugh:
I mean, who knew that shooting yourself in the head is the only way to summon powerful spirits to fight for you? what happened to materia....

No, really. He's a German man taught ninja skills by a secret society of Brazilian ninjas, and when he picks up items to use them as weapons, he just attaches them to his hilt.

I wouldn't say it's the WORST RPG I've played. I'd put that as Legend of Dragoon or Grandia XTreme.
It's more a matter of, after playing the first three, which I'd say are some of the greatest games ever, it was exceedingly mediocre. The battle system is overused crap (Three person party), there wasn't a single interesting character (Outside of Ted, and he was a secret character anyway), the army battles (Usually a shining point) sucked out loud, the story was flat and uninteresting (Being that it takes place so long before the others, it kinda takes you out of the overall plot), the sailing was utterly boring (Take Wind Waker's sailing, subtract fun and add random battles, you get the idea). It was just a mediocre/bad game, especially when compared to the other four incredible games in the series. As I said, fortunately it's set 300 years before the rest of the series and can be pretty much ignored. I DEFINITELY advise the fifth one, though. Honestly, I'd say it's my favorite of the series now.
I wish they'd announce a sequel. I've had to go through two games without any Yuber now.

How can you say Legend of Dragoon was a bad game? It had a great story and the battle system was both challenging and kept the battles interesting and fun. Plus the characters were memorable, especially the one that died.
