Well, I've only finished 2 Genesis RPG's and they are Phantasy Star II and Shining in the Darkness, so I would have to go with those 2.
For SITD, I went as far as copying down the maps to all of the dungeons on paper. For PS2, I borrowed my friend's map book, and later I found all the maps on some web site.
Well, I've played and finished Phantasy Star 2+3, Shining in the darkness, Shining Force 1+2...and almost finished Landstalker. When it comes to pick a favorite I guess I'm kinda stuck....they are all great and I still play them.
But there's something special about the Phantasy Star series - which I played first - so I guess I'll have to choose them. (haven't played PS4 though)
Well, I've tried it with an emulator but it just don't feel the "right" way so I've never played it for very long. And yeah, would pay alot for it, but it's very hard to find here in Sweden.
The Smash Pack emulator is not bad playing it on the Dreamcast. This way, you can still use your TV to display instead of computer monitor, or computer monitor if you have a VGA adaptor. The drawback is that you have to master the CD yourself.
I gotta give my vote to Phantasy Star IV... can we say EPIC???? While it isnt really a true rpg I have to give Wonder Boy in Monsterland a second place just for sheer fun factor....
My favorites are Phantasy Star 4,Landstalker,Shining Force 2,Soleil (Crusader of centry),Surging Aura (i wish it was translated),Shining in the darkness,Wonderboy in monsterworld and some more.
Without question Phantasy Star 2 captured my gaming time like no other rpg since i played Star Ocean on PSX. I cut school to play Phantasy Star 2! Truly one of the greatest RPGs of all time.
Does Beyond Oasis / The Story of Thor count as an RPG? It's nice being able to jump (as opposed to intentional falling, which is what most let you do) in an action-RPG... 😛
