>tfw Radiata Stories 2 never ever
What is this about, looks kind of cool but I get kind of cautious of post 90's jrpgs.
Here's a favorite of mine. Sadly a case of the boxart being the best part of the game.
The overall plot is standard JRPG and the combat is meh, but what really makes the game is the party recruitment system. I had way too much fun with that, similar to Suikoden 2 but with more volume and better recruitment quests in my opinion.
GOD FUCKING damn it, I miss this game so much and the memories with it. I remember playing this while blasting Captain Jack in my speakers
>tfw Ridley never gets naked
Really rustles my jimmies
Reminder that Alicia is the best girl but Ridley is best girl for Jack
tri-Ace is Dead, Valkyrie Profile and Radiata Stories will never see the light of day again.
Eh, guess I'll skip it then. Doesn't sound like my thing.
This one is one of my favorites. Shame about the game, I love literally everything about this game EXCEPT the genre they chose. I want to love it but just can't.
...
At least the people who made those are still alive, right? They can reunite in another studio and make a sequel, right?

Maybe it's just me but I always hated that weird chibi look they used in some art of FFIV-FFVI. Looks akward and bland to me.
All the characters were really quirky and interesting. It made recruiting them feel sincerely engaging - I never felt let down when I recruited a character with mediocre abilities, because I always got a laugh or some enjoyment out of interacting with them.
Game had god-tier character designs too.
That boxart is sick. It feels like devs don't even try with their boxart these days and the ones that do are few and far between.
Haven't played the game yet but you can't deny this boxart is amazing

Yeah, it makes me sad most boxart is just some cpi renders. I guess boxart just has a special place in my heart as that was how I became interested in games before. Even if alot of the US boxart then was kind of cheesey I still love them.
A lot of box art now is either just the title or one character layered over a simple background. Most new box art seems to be a variation on pic related. I get the same feeling from movie posters these days too.
I remember how happy I was when I managed to recruit Jack's sister after having to go to the village in the middle of nowhere multiple times to talk to her. Getting the guild leaders was also so good, especially the last one. That mage girl trying to revive her husband too.
God I need to play it again.

This along with SH2 are personal favourites.
There is probably some psychological explanation on why chin down, eyes up, staring directly into the camera is a successful strategy for getting people to buy your game.

Shame the actual game looks nothing like it

I wish they would put this up on PSN. My PS2's power supply died.
Would be my first purchase in years.
This art wasn't even made for the game. Square liked the art so much that they bought the rights for it from the artist and simply edited the characters into the picture.
wish these games at least had fan translations
I always liked the "empty" space on top.

Tell me this isn't the most radical thing you've ever seen.

>can't find the manga anywhere
I'm pissed
...
Isn't it Epic of Jack and Ballad of Ridley? I think there are two.
Yes, I only managed to find one-third of Epic of Jack in Mangafox back in the day
This was actually suprisingly gorgeous box art.
...
There's no such thing as a Kingdom Hearts game with bad box art.
But the first one filled me with wonder.

YOU GOT THE SHOTGUN
fucking classic

I remember trying to find porn of her, it exists but it's just a few shitty pics. Such a shame, the combo of a leotard and under boob are hot.

One of the most underrated games.
