In my childhood i have mostly played Final Fantasy and Kingdom Herts games. So i’m still lacking in some knowledge about older games. What retro games would you recommend or are must plays in your opinion?

I know i played Sword of Mana, but i wouldn’t recommend it today anymore. But the one retro series i would still recommend ist Golden Sun and Golden Sun The Lost Age.

    Ohh i have played a Valyrie Profile in the past, but i can’t remember which of them, it was on ps2. And played Valkyrie Profile Lenneth. Played Legend of Mana as well.

    Any kind of Tactics Ogre is on my list, don’t know if i choose the retro one. And for Star Ocean i go for the remakes. But I need to play Grandia…my sister played it and liked it. Need to give it a try.

      Lenneth is the remake of the original; if you’ve played that, then you’ve had the experience. Such an odd atmosphere to the game. I love it.

      As for Tactics Ogre, the old version has better face sprites (in my opinion), but a somewhat rougher translation (though it has its charms). The two remakes have good-but-not-as-charming face sprites, but a mostly better translation.

      Grandia is very cheery, very ‘high-adventure’. I have fond memories of it.

      Oh, Vandal Hearts might be of interest too.
