Any Sega Rpg's like Final Fantasy

**alohaex** · 03-15-2011, 02:44 AM

Are there any Rpg's for the Sega that have turn based battles like Final Fantasy?

**Tails** · 03-15-2011, 03:48 AM

I've never played FF but Shining Force is pretty good.

**sabby** · 03-15-2011, 07:40 AM

The Phantasy Star series is very good. I have beaten 3 of the 4. Science fiction meets RPG, that's Phantasy Star.

Surely you can't be serious!

**Tails** · 03-15-2011, 08:10 AM

I am, I get turned off by overhyped items.

They were not over hyped. That didn't start happening until the rabid fans came in after FFVII. Everything before that was and still is awesome beyond a doubt and stand up well even today. Over hyped would be MvC3.

**Tails** · 03-15-2011, 08:40 AM

Well if it matters, gonna attempt 6 for game contest this month.

So we'll see.

I've only seen one person on here overhype MvC3. I only got it to play my best friend on it, but she has lag on her end which makes it unplayable.

Pokemon?

**Tails** · 03-15-2011, 09:27 AM

I don't think it's overhyped game-wise, anime-wise yes.

**Kong** · 03-15-2011, 11:35 AM

**joz** · 03-15-2011, 12:15 PM

Sorry about derailing the topic here for a bit. I'm not very familiar with RPGs for the Sega system, but is appears that Kong knows more than a few.

**bearhawk72** · 03-15-2011, 12:16 PM

Shining Force I and II are Tactical/Strategy RPGs and very good if you like that sort of game

Shining in the Darkness is a first person dungeon crawler like Kong said. However you will need to either make your own map as you go or find one online or you will get lost and die very easily. The whole game takes place in 1 dungeon that is a maze with several floors.

Now if I could only get past the stupid demon statues in Shining Force Gaiden Final conflict I will have beat SF1,2, Shining Force CD(Gaiden, Sword of Haija and a new game) and Final Conflict.

You don't think Pokemon is overhyped? Wow.

Joz is right, FF didn't really start getting undeserved hype until 7. The games before that are pretty much awesome and any RPG fan worth their salt has played at least some of them.
Also if you like Chrono Trigger you'll love the older FF games.

As for the OPs question I'd go with Shining Force. Those are some awesome turn based RPGs.

**Tails** · 03-15-2011, 03:00 PM

You just don't like it DB.

**Dudebro** · 03-15-2011, 03:05 PM

Not liking it doesn't mean I can't recognize how over hyped it is. I'm calling it like I see it. Actually I think pokemon is one of the most over hyped games/anime/w.e in recent history. It's only topped by FF really.

**Tails** · 03-15-2011, 03:30 PM

I don't think it's overhyped it has a good system, and mostly intended for kids or people who played it when they were kids.

**alohaex** · 03-15-2011, 03:35 PM

Thank for the suggestion guys I'll try them out

**Kugyince** · 03-15-2011, 05:07 PM

I like Pokemon.

Pokemon is more over hyped than Final Fantasy.

I'd like to hear what Tails thinks of that.

Btw I think there's some confusing about hype. It does get used a lot as a negative thing but that doesn't mean it's always negative.

**Kugyince** · 03-15-2011, 08:14 PM

Pokemon Black & White sold (not distributed) over 1 million units on its launch day in the US alone.

**alohaex** · 03-15-2011, 09:38 PM

I like pokemon as well got as far as gold

I also enjoy Pokemon from time to time.

Pokemon is more over hyped than just about anything in existence. As soon as a Pokemon game is announced, it is all people talk about at school, and when it is finally released they don't stop talking about it. They brag about how cool their team is and whatnot. Apparently teenagers don't realize that they are buying the same game year after year, only with a newer, uglier coat of paint.

Your in high school and everyon was talking about Pokemon?

When I was your age we talked about women, cars, our future, partys, music, the occasional illegal activity, and we told raunchy jokes.
Things sure do change.

**Demon-Mask** · 03-18-2011, 11:44 AM

Yeah, I can't stand all of that talk about Pokemon. There still are the people that talk about sports, drugs, parties, music, girls and all that good stuff, but Pokemon is a huge thing. It isn't bad after the game has been out for a few months, but from the day it is announced to about three months after it's been released, Pokemon is everywhere. It reminds me of being in the first grade or something.

**Dudebro** · 03-18-2011, 03:46 PM

I'm with Warghoul, getting excited about pokemon when you're in highschool is kinda weird. No offense intended to our resident pokemon fanatics.
When I was in high school we were out getting drunk/high and having sex. We played video games but no one got hyped about it. Or if they did they knew to keep it to themselves,
