It look fantastic

THE SHITSTATION!!!

>>12632845
Extremely mid game with mediocre gameplay (especially Trigger) and mid story

Oh and their also on PS1

>jealous SNES drone immediately flooding the thread
LOL
Anyway the answer is that the shackles of the SNES technical limitations, and the censorship of Nintendo, were both lifted and developers could suddenly make the games they always wanted to. And it was a truly golden age, with even the middling PlayStation budget JRPG entries far exceeding the buckets of RPG Maker slop that was seen on SNES. That's why the genre became so popular with the PlayStation and not the SNES.

FAGSTATION!

>makes up shit to feel good
SNES JRPGs are more memorable than shitstation ones, I wonder why.
>>12632847
okay now show the unaltered/unmodded version on original hardware

>>12632861
I think the PS1 is just the perfect middle point where production value is high while still having a high density world

PS2 J-RPG tend to be fully 3D so you get all the problem with 3D dead space and bloatness

Shitpost confirmed

>>12632924
Yes and you?

so what triggered the autistic console warring this time, there's like 4 threads screeching about the ps1 on the catalog.

>>12632930
Tear ring saga is a little trolling toward Nintendo but it is great i only put Thracia 776 above (Berwick saga is very different so i don't include it)

The other stuff is 100% truth and no troll

SNES mogs

>>12632842
Yes it does. Compared to generic snes jrpg template it at least looks unique.
All snes jrpg's were like rpg maker games, same in gameplay and style.

>Grandia 1 best Grandia

That's a Saturn game and the PSX version is terrible and missing the add-on disc

>>12633576
I player it on PS1 and loved it

PS Juan is bes console

>>12632829 (OP)
most of them aged bad because of the abysmal encounter rate.

>>12633598
>abysmal encounter rate.

Don't know what your talking about,the encounter rate is far lower than on SNES

I'm about to start playing Chrono Trigger. What's so bad about it? Should I give another retro JRPG a go instead? Honestly, I have no idea where to start so I'm asking here.

Also, and of you play on Steam Deck?

>I'm about to start playing Chrono Trigger. What's so bad about it?

It just doesn't stand out in anything appart from the OST (and it's sequel is even better in this regard)

Braindead and mediocre combat and mid story , 7/10 game

Are you a total virgin in terms of J-RPG ?

If it's your first time i think Dragon quest is the perfect beginning to grasp the genre, extremely fundamentals heavy,charming but not too intricate story,very well balanced generally not too hard or too easy

>>12635116
Play FF7 instead. It was many people's introduction to the genre, and it created countless lifelong fans from out of thin air. That says everything.
Chrono Trigger is a meme game that people only started to talk about after FF7 popularised the genre. Cross is the better game in the series. But FF7 is the ideal starting point.

>>12635116
Theres nothing bad about it, its a perfectly fine game that still holds up to this day.

>>12635128
>>12635136

Gotcha, thanks! I might go with FF7 since I used to play it on the PSP a lot in school and have some nice memories with it.

>>12635128
>says ct has braindead combat and mid story
>recommends dragon quest which has even more braindead combat and the most bare bones generic story possible

>>12635116
>I'm about to start playing Chrono Trigger. What's so bad about it?
literally nothing, its one of the most revered jrpgs ever made, what you are seeing is a dead board filled with insufferable fucking retards who don't actually play games

>>12636136

Played it for about two hours today. So far so good. The soundtrack is really nice and comfy. I'm playing it in Japanese so I don't know whether the dialogue lines are the same in English, but some of them are hilarious. A housewife saying "My dream is to become pregnant to my blacksmith husband!" or a castle guard saying "These things called women, I hear they like sharing gossip.". Made me chuckle.

>another Playstation circlejerk thread
Also I dunno it has good RPGs but not necessarily better than Sega Saturn.
Grandia is better on Saturn by the way

>>12632867
>okay now show the unaltered/unmodded version on original hardware
You first, because your pic on >>12632842 is not how it looks on there.

>>12635180
Why don't you try CT as you haven't played it before? When you become an adult you'll understand that your time is more limited and for myself I'd rather play something new to me rather than something I've already played
