Cave Story is a slightly RPG-ish 2d platformer which my friend who loves JRPGs enthuses about and I haven't really been able to get into
(to Ste's question, no idea about iphones)

xpost I think the go-to iPhone RPGs are Chaos Rings, Ash (pretty new), Zenonia, and Wesnoth (more of a SRPG but w/e); Final Fantasy Tactics is also supposed to be coming to iOS soon. of course I'd rather play yet more 9 Innings than any of them (except for Wesnoth).
also I wouldn't call Cave Story a RPG any more than I would call the DS Castlevanias RPGs. great great great great GREAT game, though (also should be coming out for DSiWare soon).

WESNOTH FOR IPHONE?!?!

AND IPAD (which would be my recommendation since the interface requires a fair bit of screen space). also you can play multiplayer with the desktop version from the iOS version.

I sold FF7 and FFT to a guy on Craigslist for $45 yesterday. For not wanting to put up with ebay, seemed like an okay deal.

did anyone every play Y's on the Sega master system?
i remember seeing it in C+vg mags back in the day, and being quite envious of master system owners. Was it actually any good, vaguely remember reviewers going nuts over it.
will try it out on emulator, but just wondered what ilg thought
― Ste, Wednesday, 6 July 2011 21:51 (twelve years ago) link
ive played the ds version which i didnt really love but tbh a lot of the late 80s rpg classix bore the shit out of me. basically the combat was too finnick-y and tedious & there wasnt enough depth to the game to keep me interested.
but i mean i gave up on the o.g. dragon warrior when i tried playing it earlier this year in disgust so

lol/sigh at folding together sega cd and saturn
man, that ultima iv conversion was fantastic. i had it as a kid, a parent bought it on sale somewhere and for some reason all the extra materials were in french. this was kind of a problem in terms of working out how all the spells worked and so forth. i never really got past that enough to actually get anywhere in terms of finishing the game: just wandered around finding people and putting stats up until it got to the point where the wandering monsters were too much to survive encounters with. i spent so much time playing it that eventually the contacts on the cart got dirty and random squares of the environments kept being replaced with menacing purple blobs

can't believe jordan repped for sword of vermillion upthread! that game was awful
on the other hand i had it on some family chalet holiday with a megadrive and nothing to do, and no other games i hadn't played, and i was sick, flu-ey, headache and wanting to vomit all the time, so i can't think of playing it without thinking of playing it in a semi-trance state (it is a very repetitive game), half-conscious, nauseous
like looking at the screen shots made me feel, briefly, like i wanted to yak
― thomp, Thursday, 7 July 2011 12:20 (twelve years ago) link
yeah, I've been slowly playing through these and they are v. fun. definitely into the stripped-down feel of ys 1. (about 3 towns! just 5 pieces of armor!) basically a perfect diversion for a long plane ride.
first two games def have too much backtracking tho.
my SNES picks: earthbound, final fantasy 6, chrono trigger, lufia 2
talked a bit about lufia 2 in the retro thread. very streamlined mechanics for its time.

so dragon crystal (the fourth game shown in that youtube upthread (and the first i have not played (i have now watched that clip seven times (oh god)))) turns out to be a master system roguelike, which is making me glad i kept that sms emulator around once i got bored with phantasy star

I wouldn't claim to know much about any other platform but the Genesis/Mega Drive answer is Rings Of Power imo.

Sword of Vermillion on the Megadrive was fantastic. Shining In The Darkness, too.
I have Phantasy Star II / III / IV and Shining Force / Shining Force 2 on a Megadrive collection for the Xbox 360. It's sad that i'll never get the chance to play them when i can't find the time to complete Dragon Age.
