My mom bought Legaia for my sister and I when I was only 8 or 9. I remember absolutely loving it, but getting destroyed in the early game at Drake Castle. It was the first game like it that I had played and had no clue what I was doing. Years later I revisited it and played it through to the end. The characters and monsters you see along the way make it unique and fun. I continue playing it every year on an emulator on my phone and laptop. It is a game that I would love to see in modern day graphics. What a great game.
My parents got me this game when I was around 8 or so and from the moment I put it in my PlayStation I was captivated. It was unlike anything I had ever seen or experienced at the time. I even remember setting my alarm at 3 in the morning so I could get extra play time before school. This game is the origin to my journey into JRPGs and my interest in Japan. Without this game I never would’ve aspired to travel and work there and subsequently travel the world. I recently beat it again and still think it holds up well. Would LOVE a remake! I still have the original discs and will never sell them. This game is a GEM and one of my favorites of all time!

Bought the game because the Kid in me Loved Rpgs and it had multiple disc so I assumed it would be great. One of the best turn based rpg's I've ever played loved every moment of it.
Was lended this game by a friend for a few days and loved the battle system so much I had to go and rent it from Blockbusters! The system was unique and hasn't been replicated since, it's a shame the creator died because another game is yearned for.

Bought a PS1 off of a classmate that was selling it for w33d money, and this was one of the two games that he gave me for it. This was back in 2000, and to this day it remains my favourite video game of all time, and deserves a full remake.
One of the "golden" entries in the golden era of RPGs. Also quite possibly one of the most fun I had playing an RPG back then. To stand out amongst the other titans was a great accomplishment for this little game. The combat is by far the greatest appeal of Legaia for me, the incredible world-building and settings. A perfect combination of things that made kid me enthralled with every little detail. Of all the games of the era this one is most memorable for some reason. The combat, the music, characters, environments. Another classic I sincerely hope gets preserved and maybe remastered!
My mom and dad used to play it. Not that often, but often enough for me get hooked on it's awesome art style and mechanics. At around the age of 8 or so I started playing myself, but I didn't know a word of English so it was challenging. I got stuck at the Dr. Usha research center because i didnt understand the fact i had to input the secret code in the pipe 😭 couple of years later i finally understood and could finish the whole game and cried at the end

Probrably the first RPG i came in contact with, and strugled to beat when i was a kid duo to not knowing english and having no idea on how to progress the story, but after i did learn, it became my favorite rpg ever, the story is amazng and pretty dark and the combat very unique, i used to play this game yearly on the emulator, it would be great to have it on GoG
This was a classic I had to chase down. I first played it when my oldest brother was renting it from a blockbuster. Got to the end of the first village's story and then we were done visiting that night. From there it was going to local game stores for months until I finally found a copy. And this became a favorite. A phenomenal story. Extremely well designed. And a game that truly deserves permanent status as an archived classic. I still have the PS1 game CIB. Sadly, it's too old and skips. So, it's just for the memories now. I will play it, stream it, and just keep the nostalgia alive. [A graphics patch wouldn't hurt. But I will take what I can get.]

Finding this game and its Prima guide book in a bin at a store my mom was shopping at when I was just a kid. It started a lifelong love of RPGs of all sorts that persists to this day. Hell, I've designed and published RPG material now and I've got more WIP. This game was so fun, so uniquely engaging, and amazingly still holds up nearly 3 decades later.

Harvest Moon: Back to Nature
Harvest Moon: Back to NatureNatsume's farm simulation series makes its debut on the PlayStation with Harvest Moon: Back to Nature. Starting out with a few rudimentary implements and very little money, you begin the arduous task of reviving your grandfather's farm and thereby claiming your place as its rightful heir. Players are given three years to achieve this goal. A year consists of four seasons, each of which lasts 30 days. Different crops can be planted each season, but before the seeds can be planted, the land must be cleared and then the soil tilled. Seeds must also be watered until the fruit or vegetable matures. Once the crops are ready for harvest, they can be placed in a shipping bin where they'll be collected and paid for. In addition to farming, players will interact with local villagers and partake in seasonal events such as the Tomato Festival and Fireworks Display. As more money is earned, players can expand their farm and begin to raise livestock such as chickens and cows.

Drakengard
DrakengardDrakengard follows the story of a kingdomless prince named Caim who fights for the Union against the Empire. Under the Union's protection are the Hierarchs and the Goddess, currently Caim's sister Furiae, who is a human manifestation of one of the four seals that protect the world from being broken. As the game begins, Cain is fatally wounded in a battle with the Empire. Encountering a captured Red Dragon who is also near death, Caim makes a fateful choice. In exchange for both their lives, the Red Dragon and Caim will enter a pact. This pact will forever chain their lives to one another and link their souls, at the cost of something irreplaceable. Recharged with the fires of a Dragon, Caim's vengeance burns over the enemy... The player controls Caim on his quest. The game is separated into three distinct modes: Aerial combat, Ground combat and Event Combat. In Aerial Combat, Caim rides dragonback against a variety of airborne foes breathing fireballs (strong single shots and weaker multiple lock-on shots). The Dragon is agile and is able to evade incoming threats, turning around completely in a moment. In Ground combat, the game is shown in 3rd person though usually large, open areas. Controlling Caim, his primary ability is the use of a variety of weapons found on the battlefield. These are leveled up through continued usage, and specifically through the killing of individual enemies. Though magic (determined by weapon choice), timed attacks and evasion, Caim breaks through enemy armies. Characters recruited as allies by Caim can also be summoned during battles, steadily losing health until control is returned to Caim. In ground combat, Caim may also call forth his Dragon to ride and strafe enemies from the air. The Dragon's movements are generally the same as in aerial combat but more limited and less agile. Event combat is similar to Ground combat, but shown isometrically, restricted to a single weapon and without the aid of a dragon. It is used mainly to tell story sequences. Levels that have been visited before might become "Expedition Missions" which are optional and contain new objectives, enemies and weapons. Additionally, any level previously played in the storyline may be revisited at any time. Depending on Caim's choices (and prerequisites for those choices), there are five different endings to Drakengard.

Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King
Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed KingDragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King is the eighth installment in the Dragon Quest series, developed by Level-5 and published by Square Enix for the PlayStation 2 video game console. It was also later released for the Nintendo 3DS in 2015. It is a traditional Japanese-style role-playing game with random enemy encounters, simple turn-based combat mechanics, and management of a party consisting of four characters, each belonging to a clearly defined class. Unlike its predecessors in the series and most Japanese RPGs in general, the game features a continuous world with fairly vast landscapes and integrated towns and dungeons, as opposed to world map traveling and locations represented by icons. The game features full camera rotation and optional first-person view. Like in the previous Dragon Quest games, many objects can be interacted with; for example, barrels can be physically lifted, carried, and broken, to reveal items hidden within.
