Looking to collect a few RPG’s for the handhelds.
ANyone know any GB, GBC, GBA RPG games?
Hmmm… Golden Sun, Golden Sun 2, the Phantasy Star Collection, Lufia: Ruins of Lore… Let me double check on that. I don’t know many.
PS Collection sucks incredibly, though, and people say Lufia for GBA isn’t too hot either.

What GG said.
Only… Smarter.
Look them up yourself, like I do. Please don’t be lazy- what would you have done before the internet… asked random people on the street? 
EDIT: Meh- might as well be useful instead of being a COMPLETE stickinthemud or whatever.
Try the Final Fantasy Legend series- its weird, I enjoyed them.
I found FFTA to be boring, repetetive and tedium incarnate. Golden Sun 1 and 2 are much better choices. The Phantasy Star collection is ok, but it really belongs on the Mega Drive (Genesis).
Well actually I would have asked anybody I could find who was into Gameboy. My problem is I know about the mega hyped RPG’s but as has been my experience on other consoles, some of the best RPG’s tend to be the least hyped rarely mentioned ones.
And so far folks I appreciate the names, keep them coming.
I just got a GBA SP, and I’ve been looking for games too. I got Dragon Warrior 3, which is for GBC, and I just received the Golden Sun games in the mail today ($40, like new, all packaging and inserts, lol).
I don’t know a lot about the games for the handheld systems, but I think those are good.

[/li][li]Final Fantasy Tactics Advance
[/li][li]I personally wouldn’t call it a RPG, but since the database disagree with me: Legend of Zelda - Four Swords.
[/li][/ul]
Personally, I liked playing the Dragon Warrior remakes and Lufia 3 is pretty good from what I’ve played.
for GBC I’d Suggest Dragon Warrior Monsters, a little pokemon-like but one of my faves nonetheless.
Theres a couple good RPG for the GBA, I liked MMBN 1-3 and FFTA was good. If you also like “strategy” type games try advance wars 2. shining force is also a pretty decent game
I sort of wanted to try the Dragon Warrior Monsters games, but it seems like most of the fun in it is playing with someone else. Unfortunately, I’m the only person I know with a GBA.

That game is okay.
Tactics Advance is one of my favorites, but I’ve noticed that, for some reason, not everyone likes tactics-style RPGs. Though FFTA is somewhat immature as RPGs go, its still a lot of fun. If you dont mind some older GB games, the FF legends are great, and FF adventure is good. And the GBA castlevania games are great, theyre semi-rpgs in the same way Symphonyof the Night was.
Definately the Castlevania series for GBA, especially Aria of Sorrow.
The only really GREAT RPG on the Game Boy Advance is Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow. Golden Sun games? Bleh, mediocre. FFTA? A very boring Tactics RPG, probly the most simplistic one I’ve ever played. Phantasy Star Collection? Too many weird coding problems (some PS1s on PSC don’t save unless you have the volume at full :O) and just much too long and trying for a handheld system. MMBN is alright…never played Shining Soul, and finally, the other CV games are very poor ripoffs of SotN.
So get Aria of Sorrow. 
Shining Soul’s a crappy and boring Diablo clone.
Gameboy rpgs i know of.
FF legends 1- okay…
FF legends 2- Bit better but still. only okay.
FF legends 3- best of the three.
ff Adventure - remake coming out soon as legend of mana or something.
Pokemon blue/red/yellow - fun little game. thumb up
Pokemon gold/silver/crystal- nice. nice.
pokemon ruby/sapphire- better than the rest. but best played with other people.
Dragon warrior 1-2 - if you like classic gaming, here it is
Dragon warrior 3- one of my first rpgs. see above note.
Lunar legends- just a remake for gba. if you’ve never played it then its a fine game
Golden Sun- one of the best non-strategy rpgs for the gba.
Golden Sun 2- supposibly better. never played it meself.
Tactics Ogre, Knight of Lodis- a very nice strategy game. has a neat class system. hard too find.
Final fantasy tactics advance- I have to agree with GG crono on this game. sweet. moogles. tasty. scratch last one.
Lufia: The Ruins of Lore: The most bestest rpg in the world. great great great. note: I may be biased on this one for a shrining reason.
thinks
legend of zelda games- all good. but four swords is remake of super nes one.
That’s most of them I think. at least of my collerction. Do I have a lot or what? must save money for college or something. or ps2.
Lufia 3 is ok if you don’t mind doing the same thing over and over and over again. Every dungeon is like the Ancient Cave from Lufia 2 in the fact that it’s randomly generated and so the treasure is also completely random. Now, take out any useful treasures and the going back to level 1 every time, add in a bad plot (I’m not expecting much from a Lufia game but yeesh) and an interesting matrix character system, and you’ve got Lufia 3. It’s sub-par in my opinion.
