PSBlog: Hello, and welcome to 2015! Let’s dive right into last year’s final PS Store top sellers chart.
It’s foolish to say that one RPG is "better" than all the rest across systems and generations. This is merely the 25 RPGs we feel are the best and nothing more!
Dragon Quest 11 isn't even the best Dragon Quest game, it's a good game, but not the best. Dragon Quest 8 is superior to it in almost every way.
OK let's end this, in order
Xenogears
Final Fantasy 8
Final Fantasy 7
Final Fantasy 9
Final Fantasy 6
Chrono Trigger
Legend of Dragoon
Breath of Fire 4
Breath of Fire 3
Dragon Quest 8
Dragon Quest 11
Vagrant Story
Saga Frontier 2
Chrono Cross
Suikoden 2
Suikoden
Threads of Fate
Final Fantasy X
Final Fantasy XII
Lunar 2
Some of my personal favorites are Planescape: Torment, New Vegas, Morrowind, Kotor 2, Wasteland 3, Witcher 2, Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines, Deus Ex, Disco Elysium and Vampyr.
As far as jrpg, while I'm not as big a fan as I am for Western RPGs, I love Persona 3 - 5, Dragon Quest 8 and 11, Rogue Galaxy, Final Fantast 6,7, and 12; and Lost Odyssey.
From Xfire: "Just in case you missed it, Sony recently confirmed the rumors that they'd be shutting down the digital storefronts for their older consoles. In particular, the PlayStation 3, PlayStation Portable, and PlayStation Vita.
With the news now official, it might be a good idea to get your hands on the best exclusive PS3 games. Otherwise, obtaining these titles might become more difficult once the store closes later in July 2021."
Holding onto physical copies of Heavenly Sword, Puppeteer, Resistance 3, and Afrika(not listed in article).
You can always play them on PC using RPCS3: https://rpcs3.net/ Just have to torrent then games, also they will look so much better on PC as well, especially if you use reshade 🙃🎮
From Xfire: "There seems to be some sort of JRPG renaissance going on these past few years.
In addition to new entries of long-running franchises being released on multiple platforms and new IPs being introduced, some classic JRPG games are getting the love that they rightfully deserve in the form of a remake.
Case in point, Legend of Mana, and of course, who can forget the Final Fantasy 7 Remake?
But while there's a growing number of classic JRPG titles that are being remade for modern audiences, there are still far more that aren't getting enough attention and are in desperate need of a modern remake in 2021 and beyond."
Wild Arms, Xenogears, Xenosaga trilogy, Arc the Lad, Alundra, Golden Axe Warrior, FF Crisis Core, Ar Tonelico, Rouge Galaxy.
First I would like to have the originals easily available again. Than the remakes, that way it's assured that the classic version is still "gettable" in case de remake sucks or take unwanted liberties.
Good to see Suikoden II doing well.
If you love well crafted classic RPG's and an excellent story please buy it.
I don't push games but this game it well worth it.
So glad to see Suikoden 2 selling
Good to see Suikoden II being number one. Hopefully this will fuel or confirm the rumor that a new Suikoden is happening.
Ok Konami time to make a Suikoden game for PS4
if PS4 was backwards compatible i would still be buying classic games like PS1 games on the store. thats why i don't understand why theres no backwards compatibility as there is money to be made.
