Good, lower priced SNES RPGs?

I would say SoulBlazer,

But now that I look at the price, its really gone up.

Illusion of Gaia ... If titles are cheap, but lackluster please let me know.

I'd say Illusion of Gaia is more than worthy of your time, and $10 - $20.

I'm not entirely sure I agree. I see lots of praise for this game pretty regularly, but I played through it and found myself motivated to give it a thoroughly mediocre review. I rarely review something at length, but this game I just had to. My only review at GameFaqs. They give you new abilities that are fun to use, but the old ones don't stay useful. The level design tends to focus only on your newest ability. Further, the story it weird weak-sauce. Typical Japanese game/anime pseudo-philosophy. Buddhist philosophy can be really cool, but not when put through the lens of a dude who designs video games and wants you to think he's deep because he's trying to be philosophical.

Paladin's Quest can be had for $10-20.

Checking eBay completed listings, you can get a Final Fantasy II cart for $20-25. Looks like FF3 can be had for $25-35.

ActRaiser is good. Of course it isn't a traditional RPG but definitely worth playing.

You should be able to snag a copy for under $20 on a forum or ebay auction.

OP, are you looking for actual RPGs, or action RPGs? Soul Blazer, Illusion of Gaia and such are good games, but they're action RPGs.

Ive been in a turn based kick but action RPGs are great too!

Thanks for the suggestions.

Everything is going to be a bit on the spendy side right now. 16 bit is hot. Give it a few years and it will shift to N64/PS1/Saturn and 16 bit will drop back down a bit.

I don't know what your definition of "lower priced" is but you can find Mario RPG for $40 if you look around, same with Lufia. Even though that's pretty high, it's still lower than they were at retail, so, there you go.
