Gameplay & Story > Graphics. It's because people thought otherwise that we got FFVIII and everything else that followed from that.

It needs to look good, though. I would rather play a game with pixelvomit graphics than a game that looked like Baby's First Afternoon in Maya as long as the pixelvomit had a unified, cohesove, and generally good-looking theme (example, Hyper Light Drifter).

lol, so bumping my own post. Sometime between this post (2/1/16) and yesterday, they did some massive updates. So much so my sound works, all the controllers work as expected (even the PS4 controller is perfect now), and it's glorious as shit.
If you were having issues with steam link (no audio, bad controller assignments, etc) in the past give it another go. Whatever they did, it works great now.

modded my Wii to run SNES/GB/GBA/PSX emulators and i've kinda been going RPG ADD lately because of it.
so far i've started up and almost beat Final Fantasy V on the SNES (fan translated version), started replaying Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy VI (doing the gameboy advance version with the soundfix patch), Earthbound, Secret of Mana 1, Seiken Densetsu 3, Mother 3...
been looking into fan translations of JRPG games and into romhacks in general. anyone have the fan translated ROM for Bahamut Lagoon? can't seem to track that one down.
also i'm about to get into a romhacked version of Pokemon Crystal, whose only modification is to make all 251 G2 Pokemon catchable ingame without trading.
but now i see this whole world of extensive romhacks and i'm thinking about playing through whole new fan games based on hacks of Chrono Trigger and Earthbound lol.
i need some direction. spreading myself way too thin. what are some absolute musts i should bust out now that i have classic console RPG emulation set up in the comfort of my living room?

Thanks, downloading now.
I played the banner saga over the weekend, was on sale for PSN for $4.99. Finished it twice, its pretty short but a lot of fun if you like the art style and some FF tactics like game play.

Never played Odin Sphere, but the reviews coming in are great. I guess there were issues on ps2 that have been fixed?

Draw mechanic wasn't good. Especially since there was a limit to the number of spells you could have. Having to use up your low level spells to make room for new ones wasn't exactly a fun thing to do. Especially if you took the time to get 99 of them.

Hah... 8. I'll agree that maybe the translation was terrible because it was a disjointed crappy story almost from the very start, and the ending was extra dumb. Not to mention that Squall is one of the least sympathetic/likeable main characters in RPG history, which could also be translation related. But there was most definitely things wrong with the game. Draw mechanic for one, unskippable minute+ long GF sequences, the leveling system was terrible and only slightly better than the worst ever: FF2... Widely regarded as either the worst or one of the worst games in the series. Which still makes it better than Beyond the Beyond and a bunch of other actually shitty rpgs. But it definitely had some major flaws that some people may like, but the vast gaming majority thought were terrible.

Woah, calm your tits on beyond the beyond. I remember playing that game like 15 years ago.
Now that you mention it it might have been bad, I don't really remember much of it. Just one dude that had an axe that was cursed for most of the game
But yeah 8 was terrible. There wasn't much about it that wasn't bad, graphics for the time I guess
