I need christmas help.

[Smokepuddle]

My brother is really attached to playing the old playstation and has an odd joy for rpg's, I would like to get him one for christmas but he already has most of the well-known ones. Does anyone know of any "hidden gems" in the rpg genre for the Ps1?

Here's a list of the ones he has:
-All the final fantasies on playstation
-Star Ocean 2
-Jade Cocoon
-Legend of Mana
-Chrono Trigger
-Vanguard Bandits
-All the Digimon games
-Lunar Legends 1&2

Give up and give him socks. I still mail my siblings a pair every year.

 

[Jamienra]

Vagrant story. its sort of an rpg but its really rare now
The Final Fantasy series.
thats all i got

Of course, the ultimate backup present.

if he has a laptop, i vote you download an emulator and roms, and stick them on a disk so he can play on the go =D
cheap, thoughtful AND effective =D

Isn't that illegal though? That and it doesn't exactly help my situations on finding games he doesn't have...

 

[mikecoulter]

best thing to do would be to trawl the internet via google.

er- yes. um...

yeah, i know but i dont have a playstation... was just trying to be helpful... =/

 

[Mr.Pandah]

You could list most, if not all of them. This will give us a better idea, and not make this topic be a whole bunch of "Final Fantasy 7-9?" and you responding with a big fat "No."

It still is a good Idea though if all else fails, so thanks anyway.

Isn't Castlevania Symphony of the night for the PS1? I hear it's really good

 

[slipknot4]

Gauntlet: Seven Sorrows http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NciD7iha8dU
FF series

Other than that, dunno

Wild Arms. He should have that in his collection.

 

[Jonesy911]

These are all brilliant RPGs:

-Wild Arms 1&2,
-Persona 1&2,
-Parasite Eve 1&2,
-Chrono Cross (Sequel to Chrono Trigger),
-Suikoden 1&2 and
-Breath of Fire 1,2,3&4

If your only getting one then I recommend Chrono Cross since your brother has the first

Legend of Dragoon.

 

[stone0042]

Get him Legends of Legaia NOW. It is the single best RPG I have ever played. Man, I wasted half my childhood on it

 

[gamefreakbsp]

Dude, just get him a PS2 and then he will thank you forever.

 

[FungTheDestroy]

He doesn't need any more material possessions. Buy him nice gift cards to some restaurants so he can go out and treat some friends to dinner. You know, so he's not inside all day.

 

[Pimppeter2]

Jak and Daxter.

(Yea I know what your asking for but I choose to ignore it because J&D is awesomsauce)
