Hey, I'm a fan of 2'd rpgs ( i know, thats teh sux today ) back in ye olden days, thats what was kicken chicken. Gba ( game boy advance for non-1337-H4x0rs ) has resurrected the 2'd fad from it's sentance to serve behind polygon hell. Along with it has come the faithful rpg.

I brought this up for those that know of, and enjoy good gba rpgs. Its more of a reccomendationial area, and a place to brag about rpgs.

mah_damey · 2004-05-19, 00:36

oops gba rpgs.. 2 d... i dunno wut kiken chiken is.. but old skool rpgs... golden sun of course.. tales of phantasia, but tahts only jap... huh... i dunno

LynnieS · 2004-05-19, 00:44

The "Fire Emblem" series, I think, is considered to be RPGs.

I don't, though, know what "kicken chicken" is supposed to be. Is it a game or slang?

Edit - And yes, I like it. (Gotta add this part to put the post onto topic.

)

JubeiYamazaki · 2004-05-19, 03:47

Basically everything that was on the SNES is on GBA now, execpt FF2-3, that crappy Tecmo RPG and I think Earthbound

Zefar · 2004-05-19, 04:08

Some good RPg are Final Fantasy tactis advance. Shining Soul, Golden sun well that are the ones that are good.

Samurai_Yojimbo · 2004-05-20, 14:38

Breath of fire is sweet

Sid_Burn · 2004-05-21, 01:10

Wat about Castlevania... I always considered it and RPG...

Carrackus · 2004-05-21, 01:56

I heard Lunar Legend is good too

Ending · 2004-05-21, 08:57

Breath of Fire 2 is sweet, if you can abide battle-after-battle-after-battle games, but I can only recommend trying it on SNES rather than GBA. The sounds are horrible otherwise...

Thany · 2004-05-21, 09:41

I think Secret of Mana was supposed to be released on GBA, it's quite an interesting games, and it was supposed to be changed a bit too ^^

Nope, but Sword of Mana was. (a remake of the original Seiken Densetsu, released here as "Final Fantasy Adventure", but it's hardly recognizable)

wnkryo · 2004-05-23, 10:45

Try breath of fire and breath of fire 2 if you haven't already.

If you finished with those, then you can move onto final fantasy tactics, and the golden sun series.

Blaat · 2004-05-23, 10:57

Golden Sun series, go get it now, massive story, it looks good, classic RPG style and overall fun to play

Ending · 2004-05-23, 11:42

I wouldn't say Golden Sun to be very good. The graphics are okay, as well as the sounds, but the whole plot is very, very bad and shallow. Why?

- The characters are clichê and immature.
- Plot? What plot? I could see what was coming a mile away.

Myself, I couldn't even play more than ten minutes of the sequel due of certain *cough* spoilers *cough* and the sheer ridicilousness of it. Try the first part, but forget the rest.

GBA would have good potential for a creative RPG's, if they just would bother to...

The last part wasn't very accurate (about fun to play). Sure it has some of the best graphics for an rpg on the gba, and the sound is just fine.

But fun to play? I doubt that. But maby it's just me becuase I got so bored of the game so fast. The only thing that kept me playing was the visuals. But when that got repetative I just chucked it out the window.

Blaat · 2004-05-23, 15:07

Note to self
"Add IMO before ranting about games you like" :P

Then again I haven't played many RPGs so I couldn't see the plot coming nor did I thought the characters were cliche.

I'm not sure what you mean with spoilers in the beginning of the second part, unless you mean the prologue that basicly explains what happend in the first part.

I thought it was overal fun to play with the games heck I even finished the games three times. I really enjoyed the story :P

Zinyin · 2008-03-17, 17:59

Tales of Phantasia, and Fire Emblem Series, is all I have to say. Both great games.

Zetsuboushitaa · 2008-03-18, 07:04

Riviera the Promise land is great

Yeah all so true, but what made it good. Was that it wasn't a remake and it wasn't a pokemon. o_O

DragoonKain3 · 2008-03-18, 08:22

Hey, don't diss pokemon.

In all seriousness though, without pokemon, handheld RPGs would be held back 5 years; it won't be as popular nor as prolific as it is right now.

At the very least, it proved to me that an interesting/original battle system can overturn a lack of plot.

Still, best GBA RPG I think is Tactics Ogre: Knight of Lodis. Visuals are on par with the original Tactics Ogre, and the plot was still immense. Good luck finding a copy now though, and for the right price even if you did. Riviera comes second, though the SRW series was very fun for a mecha fan like me.
