sega saturn rpgs

[soniklife]

i finally got my modded saturn to work! so now i am looking for some games. i already have the shining force games, panzer dragoon saga, and dragon force. what other rpgs would you guys recommend that i check out?

Shining the Holy Ark is good. And if you like jRPGs there are some that are quite fun.

Shining Wisdom is a cool Zelda esque game. I played it long ago and haven't picked up up again, but someday....

Albert Odyssey is ok, very old school, tons of random battles and level grinding. I got through half way and gave up.

You could try out Blazing Heros(Mystaria) if you like strategy or Magic Knight Rayearth if you like anime stuff.

Here is a thread with some more info too!

thanks for the input guys.

i am really into RPGS that are like Shining Force 2. I love turned based/tactics stuff. but at the same time i enjoy stuff like final fantasy and skies of arcadia style rpgs

Have you tried Oasis?

Well, if the Shining Force stuff is for you and you can take crappy graphics, try Mystaria/Blazing Heroes (had to rename the game over trademark conflict with TSR). The graphics are crappy with a low frame rate, but the combat is very good and the scenarios pretty interesting.

I second the crappy graphics and the good gameplay. I suggested it because the gameplay outweighs the graphics.

Shining Force 1 and 2 are two of my favorite all time games and I wish there were more US released SRPG's on the Saturn. But sadly I can't think of any others.

Yeah, the Saturn is amazing for SRPGs, it's just a shame most of them never made it outside of Japan. Anyways, if you don't mind playing through in Japanese you should definetly check out;

Chaos Seed (Odd combination of an action RPG and a dungeon builder)
Langrisser Tribute (Amazing Langrisser boxset of SRPG goodness, combines the first 5 Langrissers into one collection)
Terra Phantastica (Very nice and overlooked SRPG)
Wachenroder (Awesome steam-punk SRPG)

dragon force was the best saturn game

I second dragon force, by far the best the best RPG on the Saturn.

Although if you can afford it, Panzer Dragoon Saga is also excellent.
