    i'm still torqued that i sold my ps2 memory card with my shin megami tensei nocturne save on it. i really want to go back and finish it; i must have been 70% of the way through on hard. i doubt if i can bring myself to grind back to that point...

    I don't get how people have such large backlogs.

    For mine it's...

    Persona 3 FES(sealed, need to load my original save data to this though.)
    Digital Devil Saga 2(stopped halfway through.)
    Wild ARMs 5(sealed.)
    Grandia 3(sealed.)
    Jeanne D'arc(sealed.)
    Star Ocean First Departure(sealed. UMD drive isn't working on PSP.)
    Suikoden 3(stopped after each character met up. I've made several new files that I've ended up stopping around this point.)
    Suikoen 5(couldn't stand the game. stopped after 12 hours.)
    Star Ocean 3(couldn't stand the game. stopped about 5 hours.)
    Final Fantasy 12(couldn't stand the game. stopped after 10 hours.)

    It's pretty easy when you've got a couple hundred rpgs and a full-time job, kids, or whatever else taking up your time.

    Eh, too many to count. At least 30 on PS2 alone and dozens across other systems. If each one took an average 30 hours that's 900 hours. Playing about 20 hours a week it would take me almost an entire year to clear just my PS2 backlog, but in that time I'd probably buy 10 more RPGS. But I rarely get to play 20 hours a week of anything and even when I do get to play that much I don't always play RPGS, so I expect to clear my backlog about the 5th of never.

    Yet, the RPG count in my collection increases because it's hard to pass up deals I know I may never see again.

    My situation is similar… too many to list, not much time to devote as I'd like, I end up playing a shooter when I should play an RPG
    and… I continue to buy more

    This is one of my major issues… full time work, children… I am not of youth any longer… while in high school, I was able to knock out games like FFII(IV), FFIII(VI), Lufia, Chrono Trigger, Phantasy Star IV, et cetera… with out issue but these days and times i am having hard times to complete titles
    I also notice that RPGs these days are far much longer than the RPGs of old. Games of then use to be about 30 hour now games can reach 80-100 hours of play time!

    Elder Scrolls III
    Etrian Odyssey II (was playing it and got sidetracked by Disgaea DS)
    Final Fantasy III (DS)
    Final Fantasy IV (SNES)
    Final Fantasy VI (GBA)
    Final Fantasy Tactics
    Final Fantasy X
    Final Fantasy X-2
    Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles
    Grandia II (DC)
    LOTR: The Third Age
    Magna Carta
    Shenmue
    Shenmue II
    Shining Force Neo
    Tales of Symphonia

    and a ton more, too. I just never seem to have the time to play RPGs much anymore.

    Magna Carta is terrible, don't even bother with it.

    My new way of doing things makes it so there will never be any abandoned save files. I'm recording the footage of what I am doing. If I wait too long and forget what I was doing, all I have to do is go back and watch my gameplay footage till I remember.

    I'm a collector, but only to a certain extent.
    Not as extreme as Rickstilwell though.[/quote]

    Atelier Rorona: The Alchemist Of Arland
    Blue Dragon
    Breath of Death VII: The Beginning
    Breath of Fire
    Cthulhu Saves the World
    Dragon Age: Origins (and that giant pile of DLC as well)
    Final Fantasy XIII
    Hyperdimension Neptunia
    White Knight Chronicles
    White Knight Chronicles II

    And a handful of PS1 RPGs that I don't have listed or near me at the current moment. Was having trouble getting them to play, so I moved them to my "need to fix" pile. Think it had Saga Frontier 1 & 2, Chocobo's Dungeon 2 and Wild Arms.

    Brain Lord for the SNES (Great game. I managed to get stuck three-quarters of the way through it).


    Anyone have a top 5 list of favorite NES or SNES RPGs that they can recommend? (other than the Final Fantasy series).

    FF 2-6 (sorry, 1 is unplayable to me)

    Any good Breath Of Fire on PS1 (are there any post BoFs on GBA?)

    Finish Golden Sun 1, then play 2 and any other good ones there may be.

    Suikoden (sp?) games.

    Chrono Trigger (never played it, saving it for last)

    Earthbound 2

    Any good SNES-PS1 games I can get my hands on.

    Dragon Warrior or whatever you call them games

    Blue Dragon, just because I hear it actually has a world map. JRPGs need to bring that back.

    Super Mario RPG

    Finish Deus Ex 1, get Deus Ex HL

    Mass Effect 3

    Shining Force 3

    Sounds less like a backlog and more like games you're interested in, or a request for recommendations. You'll find some JRPG threads in the classic games area of the forum.
