What RPG are you playing right now?

I just started playing lunar silver star story on ps1. God I hate Nall's voice. Love the game though.

Just started Final Fantasy IV (PS1 version). Actually playing it for the first time, lol. I've had 5-13 for the longest time, though. I'm really liking it so far, though. It's more difficult than the newer ones for sure.

So I put this down for a bit due to holidays/Golden Axe Warrior, but I've been playing through it quite a bit and am nearing what I assume is the end of Chapter 3. The game is long by my normal gaming standards - I've sunk 25+ hours in already and am anticipating 35-40 when all is said and done. Coming off Shining Force as my first tactical RPG, is quite complex! I'm enjoying the battles, though the story - while interesting and involved - is also a little bit confusing at points. The production qualities on the PSP version are top notch, though.

I am curious - where does LUCT rate in terms of difficulty and complexity compared to other games in the sub-genre?

It is very high up there.

The story in the PSP version isnt too tough for me to follow, I think the re-translation cleared it up. But the difficulty is definitely there, especially if you dont grind at all. I am a bit biased, but I think it is the best SRPG out there.

With SF being your only other SRPG experience, then yes this is definitely a difficulty and complexity ramp up. Though part of SFs charm is its simplicity and retro-ness lol. I am about 70 hours into my PSP TO playthrough and am in chapter 4. Lots of sidequests open up in Ch 4 and I love devouring all that content, so my playthrough will easily be 100+ hours.

Yeah, I sunk in 60 when I ran through the SNES version, and only spent a little time at the Hell's Gate bonus dungeon (goes up to 100 floors, and you can do it three times if you want everything out of it. lol, I got to floor 50).

Longest SNES JRPG I've ever played by far. I'm also with Jmustang in that it's probably my favorite SRPG for sure. I can't wait to replay it and go the other routes and change up the choices, and my game style.

You might like Arc the Lad dsheinem, maybe give those games a whirl sometime (the first two). They were really fun to me, really fun gameplay with a cool modern fantasy setting, just had an awesome vibe to it.

rofl im sorry but there is just something nostalgic about the sound of nalls voice from the sega cd one, it just kinda grows on you. the remake on the psp just wasnt the same.

Still playing Eternal Sonata. 10 hours in and just reached Forte. Really enjoying this game except the 2 1/2 hour dungeon I was just in. Forte Fermada or whatever it was. I could kind of understand closer to the end of the game, but not this early. Goddamn.

As for Nalls voice, nolstalgic. I can't stand the terrible English dubs that RPGs get, but I do enjoy the cheesiness of Lunar.

Lunar is a series I have , as an RPG fan, criminally never played. Which version is the best? I have the 3 main U.S. releases. I was thinking of going authentic with the Sega CD release, but I have heard many think the PS1 is the better version, with some extra stuff.
