did anyone here play the latest remastered version of Odin Sphere for PS4? Its a very great game!

Got the demo already, haven't started
Too many backlogs, even for demo

just tried the demo last night, buttery smooth compared to the PS2's framerate problem

thinking since it's a PS2 remastered game, should be cheaper and planning of grabbing it, got a shock when went into PS store and saw the price
bloody hell, they are selling it full price! USD39.90

gonna wait until sales with massive discounts then, or perhaps as part of IGC line up

My All time favorite RPG list goes like this (not in any particular order, whatever i can reminisce)：
(1) yes. I like WILD ARMS 1 & 2 ( 2) XENOGEARS
(3) FF VI (yes, only vi for some reasons) (4) Breath of Fire series (I ~ IV)
(5) Pandora Box's ONI series (SNES one)
(6) Tales series (TOPx, TOD, TOD2, TOE, TOR, TOH/R, TOTA; lesser for TOL & TOI)
(7) Star Oceans 1 ~ 3 (8) Shadow Hearts 2
(9) Valkyrie Profiles (10) Saga Frontier
(11) Lufia 2 (12)Seiken Densetsu (secret of mana) 2 & 3
(13) Legend of Dragoon (14) Arc the Lad 1 & 2
(15) Bahamut Lagoon (16) Live a Live
(17) Chrono Trigger (18) Legend of Heroes (VI~VII)
(19) Ys (20) Castlevania SOTN
(21) Alundra (22) Dark Cloud 2
(23) Brave Fencer Musashi

There are more like shining series, legend of legaia etc.. they were decent, some good but somehow I found myself unable to go back to play again after completing... i don't know if I could count Vanillaware's games like Dragon Crown, Muramasa, Odin Sphere as those may have RPG element but I treat them as my favorite action games more so...
Out of all my favorites, I'm dying to see the remake of Xenogears (feel rushed & unfinished, don't care about xenosagas), FFVI, Lufia 2 (hate the DS one), secret of mana 3 and Live a Live!!! And definitely the revival of ONI series! wishful thining i guess...

ah Chrono Cross! I miss that game. Hoping a remaster from PSN in the future soon haha.

Yes, indeed, Xenogears music is so nostalgic, it's so powerful that whenever I heard it, I can recall the scenes in game, well, vaguely but that's just how brilliant the music and the story goes for Xenogears!
And Wild arms 1 comes in second!

The only thing to dis for Xenogears was its Disc 2... and it stops at episode V ...

wild arms one opening music. with the whistling. ah.... still whistle that even though havent played the game in damn damn long.

never realised the game is 20 years old...

Got xenosaga ma.....

Just bought Rouge Galaxy

will need to relive the adventure.

Dude, although it's called spiritual successor by the same team, it ain't no xenogear, that's why spiritual and with only few homage to it but are no relevance to the SE's IP at all... The creators tried too hard but I don't blame them, it's all Square's fault and I don't actually play the xsaga series, watchin' my dorm mates in college played them and I found it's just meh...

Haha, that one, yes! But boomerang & zed's themes are the ones that haunted me most, LOL

The xenosaga series is "supposedly" prior episodes before the events in Xenogears.

Although they didn't specify the period, but it is well speculated it took place many many many years before.

Imagine prometheus, and then Alien.

The gameplay of course is a vast departure to what Xenogear offers.

Yes & No! No relevance at all as far as I understand, just a few homages like Abel etc... there is a detailed analysis and anatomy on plots of Xenogear-Xenosaga series out in somewhere, based on collections of interviews from creators and various team members involvement in the development... they were trying to continue the xenogear but since the IP is held by SE, and after they left the company, they couldn't bring it over to Namco, instead they created the Xenosaga which loosely based on earlier works written for Xenogears... So in a sense to you it's Xenogear universe, but in essense, it's not a xenogear, it's xenosage on its own. So no connection at all, still feeling left out from Xenogears, although some backstories were already told in a rushed way during the long narration of disc 2 ...

Wow seems like everyone here on JPRG bandwagon.

I seems to be more inclined to western rpgs;

Fallout 2
Baldur's Gate
Planescape Torment
Elder scrolls
Dragon age origins
Mass Effect
SW Kotor

JRPG memorable enough to make me awe. Recent titles gave it a pass due to grinding and lack of innovation.
Chrono Trigger
Breath of Fire
FF6
FF9
FF12
Tales series
Kingdom Hearts due to Disney and Utada Hikaru
