But you play the role of mario and his friends. Must be a role playing game!Quote:

It's less linear than Ys, as you can take multiple paths through the game. The different playable characters are as much alternate scenarios as many other not-such-an-RPG-RPGs feature.Quote:

Yes I have, I own all Baldurīs Gate, Icewind Dale and Fallout games from the era. And they look shitty. Itīs really impressive how bland they look, like some RTS game.Quote:

I've never 'got' RPGs. Never really played em', never really wanted to. But obviously they have fans for a reason.
Can anyone recommend an RPG on the Mega Drive for a RPG virgin, such as myself? I know there are reviews of good ones, but just I'd like to know peoples opinions of good ones to try for newbies. To break me in.
Actually I lie. I played Final Fantasy VII on PS1 for a bit. But became bored to tears with having battles every two steps.
Any help would be mucho appreciated.
You're looking at the wrong console for them. If you consider "Zelda" style games to be RPGs, then Beyond Oasis, Light Crusader and Crusader of Centy are all good.Quote:

Chrono Trigger doesn't have random battles, Seiken Densetsu 3 and Terranigma have combat like a Zelda game (even though they have all the elements one would expect of a full JRPG), Tales of Phantasia has random battles, but the battles themselves are in real-time.
The best MD cart RPG for a someone new to RPGs is probably Phantasy Stsr IV. But it sounds like you won't like it.Quote:

Best use of 256 colours at once and transparency evar!
Which scenes display 256 colors at once?Quote:
