Yeah, Drakkhen and Secret of the Stars were bad.
But Brandish takes the cake for worst gameplay.
Werd. I tried out Grandia cos I heard from everyone that it was better than the second one; and, while I like Grandia, I would have to say that Grandia 2 is a lot better. But trading it for Wild Arms 2? Sorry to hear that, man 
Lagoon is pretty damn bad. It’s so. Hard. And not even in a fun way. It’s just tedious, hard battling that could get you killed any second.
I can’t think of any RPGs that I thought were horrible, but the one I liked the least was Final Fantasy Tactics Advance. It’s just too long; it gets very boring after awhile.
Worst one i played was probably quest 64 lets see…
-Random battles every 4 seconds
-Bare bones storyline
-ENDLESS dungeon crawling
-Repetitive
Oh, man, nostalgia. I probably walked by Ogre Battle: March of the Black Queen twenty times in this one video store, and never rented it out. My parents didn’t let me play video games on anything other than weekends during the school year until I was into my teens. Anyone else have memories of renting out FF2 two weeks in a row and finding the party you’d left on the moon hanging out in Mysidia in pig form?
…in any case, worst RPG I’ve played is Eye of the Beholder for the SNES. What a bad, bad game.
Dude, I have an issue of Nintendo Power that featured that game. It was from the ancient days of Super Game Boy and when people still thought Nintendo 64 was a neat idea.
Lagoon was easy! You just need to know how the game works! The only hard fight was Phoenix-Thor, and only because of the way he moved around! And you could save almost everywhere, too!
Hmm… I can’t think of any RPG’s I didn’t like, at least in some small way, or for a short time. Perhaps I’ve blocked them out of my memory?
LOL! I had rented FF2 about 6 times in a row (back when rentals were only 2 days), and had gotten as far as the sealed cave. I had to return it, and when I got it again, I was on the moon, all of the characters were using the same equipment they’d used when I had them last (or worse), and they were all named after profanities, body parts, or profane body parts. All of the other saves were also renamed thusly, and one of them, sure enough, was all pigs in Mysidia. Man, thanks for bringing up some good memories. 
Hehe, once I named Cecil “Beavis” and Cain “Butthead” (Well, BUTHED, since the space limit) Unfortunately I had to return it before I got very far, I had just gotten to the Dark Elf’s cave.
I rented it again and it was in the Sealed Cave with Rosa named “Whore,” Rydia “B*tch” (not censored), and Edge “Pimp”
They left Ce… Beavis and Buthed alone, though. 
Ahh, good times. :’)
I always wished Final Fantasy would get rid of the ability to change names…
One of my ex’s Uncles played through FFIX one time and was telling me how silly he thought the name Vivi was and how appropriate he found for the little mage to have the name “Billy” instead.
I fucking hate that shit.
Hoshigami
Aquatallion
Ranma 1/2
Arcana
Phantasy Star
Billy’s a cool name though!
I never changed my character’s name, unless it was like, to change Dagger’s name to her other one. You know, the secret one or whatever.
WHATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT??? >>>>>>>>>>>>>=((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((
no seriously, you’re joking right?
In Hoshigami your guys are dead for good. And that tower thingy is impossible to level up at. It’s like a dungeon crawler. And the levels of the enemies are based off your main guy, which is really stupid
Yeah, cuz it’s really fun to take your time checking every place just to find out that by the time you get back to the main plot, you are 15 levels ahead of what you are meant to be and every single bit of challenge in the game is now dead.
Ok.
One: You can revive guys. Or…guy. Just the one. But still, this alleviates most peoples main gripe about the game “oh shit, the main character is dead, now no story.”
Two: It is EASILY the hardest and most well thought out SRPG for the PS1. NOTHING comes close to it. Even the Nippon Ichi SRPGS can’t touch this game in terms of depth and difficulty.
Three: I think its cool making your own army, raising you own guys up from scratch. Hoshigami expands upon this, making these characters MUCH more crucial.
Four: Yea i know, the tower thing sucks. But (this is my thoughts) the game was rushed, and they tossed that in there to make up for the lack of random battles.
I thought your guys are dead for good, like fire emblem
I don’t like hard strategy games, so I don’t like Hoshigami. It’s barely playable. How the heck are you supposed to level up? And why does the enemy always have the advantage?
Final Fantasy Tactics is the best strategy game
Vandal Hearts is so much better than FFT it’s not even funny.
Along with Kartia.
Dev: You’ve made me want to play Hoshigami. If I ever get the time to go hunting for it, I’ll definately be getting it. Thanks.
