Oh, good call. The first time I played through BoFII it was almost a religous experience. Seriously, I was thinking about the Dragon God for months.

BoFI was ok, although it was clear they were just getting some RPG experience under thier belt (with help from square, no less). The second one was quite a bit of fun to play, with a large quest, great battle system, and a thoroughly convoluted plot. For me, the entire game had the feeling of remembering a dream I had that seemed of unbelievable, epic import at the time of dreaming.

BoF III was a good game too, but BoFIV take the cake (IMHO) as the best of the series, but those are PS games.

Oh, and although I have never understood the gentlemen who prefer the 'furry' category on thier favorite porn sites, I always thought Katt was kinda hot. Maybe because I was like 13 and she doesn't wear pants? OMG, a nude character in a video game, someone call Jack Thompson quick!

Sincerely,

@popuri & zerosoul:

whatever. harvest moon has definitely got all the elements that a rpg game usually has. that cant be denied (at least not without facts). and thus its also sorted as a rpg game on all major gaming-sites. i'm not saying that it doesnt have simulation elements too, but the games core is a rpg.

Indeed. BoF II was an amazing game. Infact, I think it's the best out of the all the BoF games released so far.

Elly: What did you think of BoFV?... because I must say I thought it was horribly boring and repetitive. Not to mention extremely hard.

i've played BoF2-5 and BoF5 was the only one that i didn't really care for. might have been because its entirely different than the rest. with dragon quarter they tried something new, and it worked, but it wasn't a true BoF.

harvest moon has definitely got all the elements that a rpg game usually has.

I'm not denying it has RPG attributes, but when it was originally released in JP in 1996 through PIV inc. It was actually strangely enough thrown in the Dating simulation market. Which also at times has RPG elements. When it was brought over to America and Europe through Natsumi. They actually pulled the stronger RPG elements out in it's advertisting. I can't deny that most sites list it as a RPG. Yet, if Zelda can't even be considered a RPG in this list, then Harvest Moon should not be as well.


BOF: DQ was a good game. I liked it's neat and at the time innovative battle system. (Arc the Lad:Twilight of the Spirits use a similar system) It was just sad the game's storyline couldn't have been more driven. The big down-side was the level of difficulty with the game. It turned off alot of gamers, due to it's replay to see the entire storyline. The other big turn-off was you could only change into one form and if you did it's would lead to a bad ending.

I like to play multi-games on multi system at once. Right now for my SNES RPG's going throughs are..

Alcahest
Dual Orb 2
As well as..
a 3rd playing of FEDA:The Emblem of Justice.

i think you are talking in wrong direction. it doesnt matter which genre the game was meant to be when it was released. what counts is, which genre the game is that we get (we are talking about HM us/eu snes version right?). nfs porsche for example, was actually intended to be a simulation game. but the core is action oriented racing thus its titled as a driving game, not simulation. the same can be said about HM and its simulation elements.

what you say is like comparing ms flight simulator to nfs porsche and saying that porsche is a simulation too - which is wrong (driving game with simulation elements). but again, nonsence aside, i'm talking about HM, not zelda (zelda is advanture game with rpg elements - true/proven). HM is a rpg with simulation elements because the game core itself is a rpg.


well i hope that this small discussion wount cause any flame. if you still think that HM is a simulation and not rpg, just name me the ingame facts which prove that. and i will try to prove that you're wrong . if not - well then i'm right


ps: please no more HM & zelda comparison, which are totally different games. Im talking about HM _only_ here

Terranigma sure rocks. All that world development, Fluffy (!!!), the awesome graphics and the superb battle system and the well-placed religeous sarcasm... I've never seen any other SNES RPG with such a motivation curve.

somehow i think Illusion of Gaia's character are much larger than Terranigma...

is Illusion of Gaia = Illusion of Time?

Phantasy Star IV! Oh wait...I didn't own a SNES Did get to play through most of CT at a friends house though so I'll vote for that. I've since tried to emulate many SNES games, but it just doesn't feel right.

I later got to play FFIV, V & VI PSone...lets just say that I wasn't dissapointed that I didn't play them sooner. Same for FF1 & 2 (on GBA).

Playing FFIV, V & VI on PSX is a shame, no one should ever do that.
