Quick RPG Ratings
Luke Drelick
English)... for those wanting to download the ROM's, I'll just put a
number rating by each of them...
Nintendo / Famicom
Battle of Olympus (6 - action RPG with a mythical theme. It's OK, very
challenging, stiff controls)
Bloody Warriors (2 - RPG with a prehistoric theme. awful music, boring
story/gameplay)
Chaos World (never played)
Crystalis (9 - action RPG with fast controls, great story and
playability, a good variety of settings, it's just too good)
Darklord (never played)
Destiny of an Emperor (7 - fights are a little slow, all the Chinese
names are rather confusing, but the game is fun and clearly influenced
Gensou Suikoden)
Destiny of an Emperor 2 (never played)
Doublemoon Densetsu (never played)
DragonQuest (9 - see where it all started)
DragonQuest2 (5 - the weakest one in the series, IMO... way too much
level building is required, weak on story)
DragonQuest3 (10 - long, challenging, great dungeon design, had
classes, a big surprising finale, and was the perfect way to end the
Roto trilogy)
DragonQuest4 (10 - another long game with a great storyline and
interesting gameplay. introduced a unique AI system, there was even a
scene where you would play as a vendor. Graphics and music are good
for NES)
Earthbound Zero (7 - started the Mother series, the asthetic flaws of
the SNES version aren't as apparent on this)
Faria (2 - boring zelda clone with repetitive mazes... way too
challenging for its own good)
Final Fantasy (10 - it's a classic... total nostalgia trip... good
music, fun story, good playability (though in some parts it doesn't
have good balance)
Final Fantasy 2j (8 - reused many FF1 graphics, but introduced some
interesting new systems, including the "powering up without EXP
system"... was the first game with a deep plot)
Final Fantasy 3j (11 - masterpiece. Take every thing good about FF1
and up it 10 times... damn, I think i'm gonna play this again)
Ginga no San'nin (never played)
Goemon RPG (?? - I played for a couple of minutes, was enjoying, but
then the battle scenes
Heracles no Eikou (2 - ridiculous graphics and music... basically a
Greek DQ clone; nothing special about it)
Heracles no Eikou 2 (never played)
Hissatsu Shigotonin (never played)
Lagrange Point (never played)
Legend of Zelda (10 - a definite classic)
Link's Adventure (7 - good, but not as acclaimed as the others. solid
gameplay, but lacks the puzzles and secrets that made the others so
great)
Magic of Scharaza (8 - interesting twist on the RPG genre... it's part
action RPG and part turn-based. Kind of fun, though the plot is
cheesy)
Metal Max (never played)
Momotaru Densetsu (never played)
Momotaru Densetsu Gaiden (never played)
Musashi no Bouken (7 - a 1 on 1 style RPG, much like DQ1 with better
graphics and a more interesting story. Strange monster design)
Nadia (6 - chess with funky characters, and RPG battles... get to see
the translation might of J2E :) )
Niji no Silkroad (never played)
Ninja Rahoi (never played)
Otaku no Seiza (never played)
Radia Senki (10 - action RPG with AI in it, much like Secret of
Mana... Interesting story, probably my next candidate for a J2E
translation)
Saint Seiya (never played)
Saint Seiya II (never played)
Sanada Juuyushi (never played)
Sansa-rana-ga (never played)
Shinsenden (never played)
Silva Saga (never played)
STED iseki wakusei no yabou (10 - Phantasy Star for NES! weird
storyline, cool powering up system (kinda like FFA's), and a great
translation, if I do say so myself :) )
Sweet home (never played)
Tom Sawyer (5 - weak gameplay, the whole concept is stupid, and Jim
makes Barret look nonstereotypical)
Ultima 3 (7 - NES port of a classic PC game... graphics and music
improved over the PC version
Ultima 4 (5 - a brutal murder of a classic PC game)
Ultima 5 (2 - slow controls, nothing really ever happens in the game)
Uncharted Waters (never played)
Venus Wars (8 - interesting strategy RPG/motor bike war concept. Good
translation)
Villgust (9 - strange characters, but interesting fight system and
another fine translation)
Willow (9 - awesome, long, challenging action RPG with a good story
and lots of dungeons. Unfortunately, every time you save you lose all
the exp you've collected since you've last levelled up, which kinda
sucks)
Y's (NA - corrupts on my emu)
Y's 2 (NA - only played for 5 minutes)
Sega Master System
Fighting (never played)
Golden Axe Warrior (never played, though looks like a shameless Zelda
rip)
Golvellius: Valley of Doom (never played)
Miracle Warriors (7 - awesome music, though the whole "pseudo 3D"
movement is very cheesy, and there's no real direction at the outset)
Phantasy Star (11 - the game that got me totally hooked on RPGs.
ultimate gameplay, good story, fab graphics, awesome dungeons, crazy
setting... started one of the best series ever)
Spellcaster (never played)
Ultima IV (9 - Improved on the PC version in every way, except there's
no text parser for interfae with the NPC's... still much better than
the crappy NES version)
Y's: The Vanished Omens (never played)
GameBoy
Battle of Kingdoms (never played)
Cosmo Tank (4 - an action RPG, with tanks... played it a while ago,
the whole gameplay is weak and the "3D" dungeons are poorly
implemented)
Final Fantasy Adventure (10 - Like Zelda, with more of a plot...
Fabulous game, one I can play over and over again... great music)
Final Fantasy Legend (10 - good music, interesting story, and some of
the most haunting moments ever in a game)
Final Fantasy Legend 2 (7 - too many enemies attack at a time... good
story and music though)
Final Fantasy Legend 3 (3 - horrible way to end the first 3 SaGa
games... boring combat, awful music, hideous translation)
Furaino No Siren (never played)
Gargoyle's Quest (7 - was challenging, but kind of fun. The end board
was IMPOSSIBLE though... weak story, good graphics, solid controls)
Gargoyle's Quest 2: The Demon Darkness (never played)
James Bond 007 (never played)
Kingdom Crusade (never played)
Knight's Quest (7 - kind of strange... good battle animation, though

Technos Samaurai(never played)

and most heartwrenching stories ever)

Defenders of Oasis (8 - good music, Arabian setting, nice balance,
good challenge and story)

Beyond Oasis (never played)
Crusader of Centy (never played, but the lead character's name is

classic tale of deception, but the bad guy gets what's coming to him
:) )
Light Crusader (never played, but I heard it's made by Treasure (!) )
Master of Monsters (never played)
Might and Magic (2 - Played at Funco for 5 minutes a while ago... you
get attacked by 20 enemies at once, and teh game is ridiculously
boring)
Nadia, of the Mysterious Seas (never played)
Phantasy Star II (11 - one of the best and most dramatic plots in a
video game, awesome twists, my favorite ending of all time, phenomonal
graphics and dungeon design... I can't stop praising this game...
download NOW)
Phantasy Star III (7 - a let down compared to the other PS games, but
still a solid game, and has the cool "generations" system)
Phantasy Star IV (10 - though not as challenging as 2, it has nice
subquests, a solid story, and definitely has its moments)
Shadowrun (never played)
Shining Force (9 - got me hooked on Strategy RPG's, and still remains
one of the best examples)
Shining Force II (10 - almost exactly like Shining Force 1, but
improved tenfold... extremely long)

3D style dungeon. Graphics are good but the gameplay is stale)
Sorceror's Kingdom (never played)
Story of Thor (never played)
Sword of Vermilion (6 - this is another example of why I hate AM2...

bad musiic you say?? you obviously haven't listened to the credits music!
bah!
there's only one eternal blue for the saturn (you got it right the first time)

<ultra snip>
Good god... how long did it take you to type all that up (and remember all the
names of those games!?)!? :)
Only one major thing I kinda dissagree with is your Xenogears rating...
although yes, the gameplay was very shallow.... I thought the storyline more
than made up for it, Xeno was the *only* game to have a storyline so immersive
that it blew me away! My god, I wonder if there will ever be another RPG with
as a good a story, one that will make jump out of my seat once again...
Xenogears is currently my 3rd favorite game, but there is a HUGE gap between it
and my top 2, ToP and Star Ocean... ::wants Star Ocean 2nd Story and ToP
reprise::

No DQ2 is where it all started. Sure it need too much level building.
.....but Story is difinitely one of best. And the last boss was scary
too.

Yeap 3 is good. But it wasn't scary.
I know I'm DQ2 crazy. So leave me alone.
But you list was grea work!!!!!!!
Sean Chang
Besides a few things, such as the low ratings of FF6, Xenogears, and
Chrono Trigger, I would generally agree.
Frioniel
> DragonQuest (9 - see where it all started)
Yes, Dragon Quest I is great...especially the remix!
> DragonQuest2 (5 - the weakest one in the series, IMO... way too much
> level building is required, weak on story)
Mais non! Dragon Quest II was incredible! The remix was even better!!!
The ending song is probably my favorite finale song ever! I'd give it a
9!

Yes, even though I still haven't beaten the NES DWIII so that I can play
the remix, it has always been my favorite. Jipang is just TOO COOL!

Haven't played much of this, but what I have played sucked...

Yes, but I'd give it a 9.

Yes, but I'd give it a 9.

Hmm...I think I agree here ^_^

an 8.8 would be a good rating imo. it's got an opening theme song that

I have the ROM...

8. There really didn't seem to be much story at all. Well, there
was I guess, but it just wasn't very interesting nor were there
any good twists.
> Legend of Zelda (10 - a definite classic)
ZELDA IS NOT AN RPG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111111111111111111
Seriously. It's an Action/Adventure game. I don't care if you get
hearts; the Metal Gear series also gives you extra life as you go
along but I don't see anybody calling THAT an RPG. Sheesh.
> Ultima 3 (7 - NES port of a classic PC game... graphics and music
> improved over the PC version
> Ultima 4 (5 - a brutal murder of a classic PC game)
Personally, I think the ratings should be switched here. Ultima 3
seemed rather aimless, but Ultima 4 was a good enough game in
the first place that it was fun for a while.
> Final Fantasy Legend (10 - good music, interesting story, and some of
> the most haunting moments ever in a game)
8. The music was nice, there were a few cool twists, and the way
that charachters advance is cool. Other than that, it really wasn't
anything special.
> Gargoyle's Quest (7 - was challenging, but kind of fun. The end board
> was IMPOSSIBLE though... weak story, good graphics, solid controls)
I would have given it a six. Fun diversion. That's all.

4. Not total crap.

9. The original, LttP and TOoT were all better.

Damn right. 9.
> 7th Saga (5 - way too much levelling up, only 2 guys in your party. OK
> game but not that great)
5. I never really cared that there were only two people in the party
(if there were any more it would have seriously messed with the plot),
but the battles were booooooring.
> Breath of Fire (6 - long game, but nothing stands out)
7. I thought it was fun, if a bit redundant.
> Breath of Fire 2 (never played)
7. It was a blast at first, and the plot ruled, but if BoF was
"a bit redundant", then this was the Gilligan's Island of RPGs.
The one thing that bugs me about the plot in BoF games is that
the script artificially drags it on -- in BoF3, for instance,
I must have spent five hours just trying to get on that
battlecruiser. These are five hours that could have been spent
on /interesting/ plot points, but instead just consists of
heavily layered subquests as you run back and forth trying to
get the other boat to run so you can go out there, but then
it doesn't work and you have to get a bunch of parts, and blah
blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.
I still like the games despite myself, but I do wish they'd
stay focused.
> Chrono Trigger (8 - fun, though unfulfilling characters... great
> graphics and music, good plot and lots of endings)
9. Excellent, excellent game, but not nearly long enough. The
dialogue and plot could have also used a slight tune-up too, IMO.
> EarthBound (5 - awful graphics, music, no balance, stale gameplay)
9. Dude, it's called /atmosphere/. It's /supposed/ to look and
sound simple and childish and be silly and carefree with itself,
that's what sets it apart and lets you ignore the fact that the
gameplay is pretty much the same old stuff. It's sad that so few
people are able to see that aspect of the game.
> Final Fantasy 4j (10 - awesome story and solid gameplay)
9. I thought the gameplay was actually pretty damn good, and
that the story was solid. *shrug*
> Final Fantasy 5 (11 - best in the series by far... long live Jobs!)
8. Great job/battle system, but shallow. Yeah, I can build up
my AP and get a bunch of neat abilities, but so what? It was
fun, but there wasn't anything else. (Plot? HA!)
> Final Fantasy 6j (7 - not as good as the others... lots of secrets,

10. Personally, I liked the open-endedness in the second half.
Then again, I'm just about the only person in this entire newsgroup
that doesn't think that it's an utter atrocity and Square should

> Final Fantasy Mystic Quest (6 - solid game, just nothing special about

6. Same here.
> Inindo (never played)
8. A very well-done cross-over of RPG and strategy. The (normal)
battles do get a tiny bit boring after a while, and before you've
completed the ten training dungeons you wish you could just beat
them all without levelling so you could get back to spying and
razing. Still a great game.

7. Interesting diversion, but not much more.

6. Mildly fun. Would have been infinitely better if you could actually
control your bloody armies during battle, IMO.
> Secret of Mana (9 - great Action RPG, though very buggy... good

9. It absolutely owns, especially in MP. I do wish that the enemy
AI weren't so cheap, though.

8. Gameplay good. Story bad.

9. Tight control, great music, nice graphics, but it just didn't

> Final Fantasy VIII (wanna play this one)
The demo is kind of dull, but then again from what I heard the
Xenogears demo wasn't that great either. I like the fact that
there's going to actually be some challenge this time, but the
draw system still worries me.
> Final Fantasy Tactics (10 - good gameplay, though the battlefield's

8. Good gameplay, good story, but amazingly redundant.
> Suikoden (7 - short, but with a lot of secrets... repetitive battle

8. Fun, without getting boring too quickly. There was enough
variety to keep me attached.
> Wild Arms (7 - long, some OK puzzles, mostly annoying puzzles... too
> many boring fights, not as deep as Lufia 2... cliched storyline but
> cool Wild West setting)
4. I really wanted to like this game, since the story seemed
pretty intriguing, the game had a nice polished look, the
dungeon layout was interesting and the puzzles were intelligent, but
sadly whatever redeeming qualities the game may have had were
absolutely ruined by the inexcusably slow, depressingly simplistic
and above all boring-as-hell battles. Honestly, if it weren't for
the battles I would have loved this game, but it's just TOO DAMN
BORING.

Not true. I liked it too.... There just happen to be more people who
hate it than people who like it, which means only the majority of

I have. It's a pretty neat game where you get to explore different

to fight at the end of each task. Bit simple but good. More of an
