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.

Parasite Eve II
Parasite Eve IIParasite Eve II is an action role-playing survival horror video game released exclusively for the PlayStation. The game was developed by Square and published in Japan in 1999 and in both North America and, unlike the previous game, in PAL regions in 2000. It is the sequel to Parasite Eve and the second game in the series of the same name. Parasite Eve II is set several years after the events in the original game. The protagonist from the first game, Aya Brea, also features in this game as the playable character. She becomes involved with another outbreak of Mitochondrial creatures. Gameplay diverges from the previous game: battles take place in real time and the area of action is less restrictive. The approach is more typical of traditional survival horror games, although some role-playing elements are retained.

Black & White 2
Black & White 2In the game, the player takes the role of a god called from the void (nothingness) to help those who invoked them. However, the player is not an omnipotent style god, but rather a god who rises and falls with his believers and the player must help develop their nature according to their good or evil desires. The player also has a creature, their physical representation in the world, which takes the form of an anthropomorphic ape, lion, wolf, turtle, cow, or tiger. Its physical manifestation can grow to an immense size, and adopt a good or evil persona separate of the player's. They develop their character as the player rewards or punishes their actions. In addition to the god simulation and city-building elements introduced in the original Black & White, Black & White 2 also features elements of real-time strategy gameplay, with the addition of controllable warfare and fighting units.
