It has the hottest male protags of any JRPG series

Memorable and endearing, not perfect, but worth playing. 1 was a peak snes era rpg, 2 was the best and had a cozyness that almost no other rpg can match, 3 was a mess and the beginning of the mediocrity. 4 and 5 i enjoyed but knew they were both close to being bad games. And gave up after that. The music is amazing in all of them. Blue sphere is neat

And rpg fan not having played 1 and 2 os doing a disservice. Walking up to Arlia village that first time never stops making me feel emotional

I've never seen such a 4.5/10 series get hard carried by one game.

The MC hair color pattern it has is hilarious. Cless from Phantasia split into Ratix and Claude.

Shaping to be a good series but then it starts to go downhill from 3. Not even the waifus can make 4-6 passes as 6/10 jarpigs for me that the gachashit ended up slightly better in a way

None of the games are a masterpiece, and in fact they mostly all have shitty plots and characters.
But the are fun as hell to play.

4 is the best one btw.

Divine Force is jank kino.

Are any of them actual sci fi games or do they all bait and switch you into generic fantaslop?

2 and 4 are some of my all time favorite jrpgs. The other games are pretty good too

I really enjoyed 2 and didnt fully understand the circlejerking that 3 has received since its creation

3 is the "till the end of time" one, right? it was ok. i remember it had some sick guitar solos in the OST. i dont remember much past that tho lol. i liked the SNES one better. never played 2

2 is easily the best one.

Is the undub for Second Story any good? I heard that PS1 tri-Ace games are really finicky because of the way they were programmed and undubs make them crash heavy but didn't try them yet
