Faxanadu	Hudson Soft;Nintendo;Hyundai (Hudson Soft)	1987	[49]*Unlock doors of legend on your journey through Faxanadu. You are the elves' last hope. Outside the town walls lurk monsters with the power to destroy anything in their path. Inside the walls, water and time are running out. Soon the ancient elf town of Eolis will vanish into eternity. Only you can save Eolis. No one else dares to venture beyond the walls, onto the World Tree, where towns and fortresses precariously await the whims of fate at the hands of the Evil. You are searching for the water source and for an antidote to the poison that makes the water undrinkable. To find them you'll need gold and food and magic, speed with a sword...and luck. Every town holds a new mystery, every fortress a new danger. Merchants will sell you magic and valuable tools, but it's up to you to figure out what you need. Long, secret mantras help you slip through the mists, but will you survive the next challenge? This is Faxanadu, the legend, the adventure-the incredible journey on the World Tree.* [52]*Faxanadu is a special reworked version of the original Xanadu game for Japanese homecomputers. It's actually quite a different game and resembles [url=http://www.uvlist.net/game-7949-Zelda+II+The+Adventure+of+Link]Zelda II[/url] quite a lot. Faxanadu was the third game of the "Dragon Slayer" game series appearing on the Famicom and it was by far the best one so far, beating [url=http://www.uvlist.net/game-7944-Legacy+of+the+Wizard]Legacy of the Wizard[/url] and [url=http://www.uvlist.net/game-159602-Romancia]Romancia[/url] in terms of fair gameplay. Faxanadu is relatively linear and not as unforgiving as the former titles. I also liked the graphics. They lacked a bit in colors, but are detailed and quite atmospheric.* [37]* [27]*2D platform game that tells the journey of an ancient warrior and his quest for his beloved lady. Side-scrolling adventure RPG for NES. You return to the base of the World Tree to find desolation and despair among the people. You go out to find the cause, coming across more crumbling towns and plenty of evil creatures as you climb the World Tree. [GrimFang4]	NES

Final Fantasy V	Square	1992	continuing with the excellent standards Final Fantasy players all know, Final Fantasy V was, in my oppinion, the peak of the series. It's class system allowed players to choose what they wanted their characters to be in the middle of the game, gaining skills for the class until it is mastered and then moving on to another. Although the class system was made even better for final fantasy tactics, FFV is still a good preview of what FFT has to offer. A gripping story that spans two worlds that were once one, good graphics and music, and great gameplay make this one of the best RPG's made. unfortunately Square/Nintendo never brought Final Fantasy V to america, but it is soon to be re-released here in the Final Fantasy Anthology.***Unofficial English translation: [[link:http://www.romhacking.net http://www.romhacking.net]] Unofficial Italian translation: [[link:http://www.sadnescity.it/ http://www.sadnescity.it/]] [cjlee001]	SNES
Odin Sphere	Atlus (Vanillaware)	2007	The story of the world's end, hinging on the bravery of those chosen by the Psyphers... The nation of Valentine was once a grand kingdom with powerful magic. With the power of a magical relic known as the "Cauldron," King Valentine subdued the neighboring nations and brought them under his control. His kingdom enjoyed a long period of prosperity... but a sudden disaster destroyed it overnight. War broke out between the Fairy Kingdom of Ringford and the warrior nation of Ragnanival over ownership of the now-abandoned Cauldron, and control of the wasteland that was once Valentine. With the battle growing fiercer by the day, Demon Lord Odin, King of Ragnanival, sets forth a plan to conquer Ringford and claim the Cauldron once and for all. Meanwhile, in the neutral realm of Titania, King Edmund had become a puppet king of his court sorcerer Urzur, who schemes to follow a forgotten prophecy and bring about the Armageddon; a prophecy stating that the world will be destroyed in five great disasters, but the survivors will become kings... As the nations struggle for control, the world steadily slips unknowingly toward its demise, and the prophecies become clear... [Atlus]	PS2

Secret of Mana	Square	1993	[media=youtube]https://youtu.be/IhkrKmANoik[/media]*[b]Development History:[/b] Seiken Densetsu: The Emergence of Excalibur was planned to be a massive 5 disk, 4 player RPG for Nintendo's Disk System that reached a stage of development that had Square confident enough to accept payments for pre-orders. But it never quite came together before financial troubles threaten to bankrupt Square in 1987. As a last magnus opus, Square published Final Fantasy before closure. Surprise, FF rescued the company from financial demise. Square was reluctant to give up Seiken Densetsu because they had spent resources setting up the intellectual property rights associated with it (and taken pre-orders). The Seiken Densetsu project was reopened, this time as an cartridge based game, due to the waning popularity of the Disk System. But other projects kept occupying their people, such as Final Fantasy II, and Final Fantasy III. At one point, the title was referred to as ファイナルファンタジーIV (Final Fantasy IV) in the press; but internally, the massive project seemed doomed, so much so, that Square slapped the name on a Final Fantasy spin-off for Gameboy, 聖剣伝説～ファイナルファンタジー外伝～ (Seiken Densetsu: Final Fantasy Gaiden/Final Fantasy Adventure/Mystic Quest) that was originally named Gemma Knights. This is where the NES version of the game ends. Then came the announcement of the Super Nintendo CD-ROM add-on. Final Fantasy Gaiden did well enough for a sequel, so Seiken Densetsu: The Emergence of Excalibur was reinvigorated as a CD-ROM project. Some elements of Final Fantasy Gaiden were added to the design. Finally, the project was finished, then Super Nintendo CD-ROM venture collapsed, Seiken Densetsu was over, sort of. The game was speedily chopped down to cartridge size and published as Seiken Densetsu 2/Secret of Mana. DOG was a cooperative venture between 7 videogame companies that developed games then published them under the Square brand. During the "ファイナルファンタジーIV" stage, all materials used the DOG Square label.* [100]* [32]Once upon a time, the power of Mana was used by all people and helped their civilization grow. But as evil forces took control of Mana Fortress, there was no way out but a war which destroyed the Mana-based civilization but eventually brought peace to people. The events of the past became but legends to the new generation of humans. But history repeats itself... One day, a young village boy finds a rusty sword stuck at the bottom of a river. He doesn't know this sword is the famous Mana sword, the one that won so many battles before. By drawing the sword out of the river bottom, the boy unwillingly summons hordes of monsters, and is expelled from his village. A mysterious knight Jema is the only man who helps him and gives him instructions for the future. First, he must repair the sword, and then, with its help, take control of Mana seeds which can be found in eight great castles. [45]European version [29]Japanese version [29]* [27]*[b]Tags[/b] While developed as the first game in the Seiken Densetsu series, it ended up becoming the sequel to [game=#8669]Final Fantasy Adventure[/game]. Each player (up to 3) controls a member of a cooperative group. Uncontrolled characters are played by computer AI according to strategy set by the lead player. There are sprite like characters in the game. A good portion of the game takes place in forest areas. androgynouscharacter? There are rooted and unrooted plants that move rapidly to attack the player. There are unrooted plant based creatures that move freely as if they were an animal. Ther are sprite like beings in the game. Killing enemies gains personal experience points for a player but a strike gains points for the skill level of the weapon that are holding during deed. [Zerothis]Good and evil battle for a young warrior's heart. There is one force in the universe that keeps good and evil in perfect balance. It is called the tree of Mana. But a magic sword has tricked a young warrior into upsetting this balance, spreading evil throughout the land. Thus, the warrior must undertake a dangerous journey to find the seeds of the Mana tree, which have been hidden for centuries. Only then can perfect harmony be restored. In this incredible adventure, things are not as they seem. Magic swords release evil as well as fight it. Treasure chests hold booby traps. Monsters are friends and friends are enemies. Potions give power, black magic takes it away. Dragons fly, weapons change. It's a world turned upside down that you must help the warrior make right. And the only way to succeed is to solve the Secret of Mana.Ahhh, old school SNES RPGs... aren't they great? And Secret of Mana (henceforth SoM) was, and indeed still is one of the best. An action-orientated RPG along the same lines as the equally wonderful Zelda games, SoM is one of those games that I can keep playing through without getting bored. The plot is good, if a little unoriginal, and it has a great multiplayer option, a rarity in SNES RPGs.One of the greatest RPG's ever made for SNES. It comes in English and a few other languages, like French, German and Spanish. [DjOuL]**I likeit.It's the best!! ... thats all [WOODY]	SNES
The Legend of Dragoon	Sony Computer Entertainment (Sony;Japan Studio)	1999	Seeking revenge on the Black Monster that destroyed his village, Dart embarks on a worldwide journey. Little does he know that he and the Black Monster are tied together by a war that occurred over 10,000 years ago. Take control of Dart and his friends as they travel the world looking for the truth. Will the power of the legendary dragon warriors be enough to help Dart? Find out by playing THE LEGEND OF DRAGOON.*European version [32]US version [32]Japanese version [32]*Solid RPG with an interesting story, cool characters and an innovative battle system. I liked the fact that the story and characters are a bit more grown-up, i was so sick of kiddie games. There are zillions of RPGs for the Playstation and this is one of the few good ones.
