The Only 26 JRPGs You Absolutely Have to Play

Yeah I know of the connection. Basically SaGa in everything but name. Oddly enough, the only SaGa game I've played and beaten.

I've only beaten a few of them: Final Fantasy Legend, Final Fantasy Legend II, and SaGa Frontier 2.

I have the Frontier's, need to get to them someday. Safe to say they all look and sound strange haha. I guess they tend to emphasis gameplay more than story too, so I kind of knew that going into Last Remnant before I played it. That combat system was freaking awesome to me.

Final Fantasy II is also a SaGa game in disguise; haven't you beaten that one?

[Sarge]

Yeah, I was just rolling with the "official" ones, but in this context, we can totally count FFII. I can't remember if I actually beat the NES version, but I came close. I should dig out my old save files. I did beat the rebalanced GBA version, and quite enjoyed myself with it.

I myself enjoyed the even more rebalanced PSP version and beat it. Worth checking that one out. I played a bit of the PS1 and GBA versions myself, but never beat them.

The NES version sounds too crazy. I also can't really get into FF1 NES at all either, but I've beaten other versions. Loved FF3 though and that was very satisfying to beat. I seriously think it's the extra blocked up look of FF1 and the battle screens that kills it for me.
