After several grueling months of non-stop negotiating, I've finally tracked down all of the PS1 rpgs that I feel are... well, rpgs! Pictures below are of all of the games I own. Hope you all enjoy. :-)

Sadly, I don't really have a grand total. I got a good 35-40 of them from trades, 15 or so I've owned for years and years, and the last 15-20 I purchased. I got a lot of really good deals on the big hitters though, which is what actually caused me to go after this entire collection.

06-24-2005, 11:21 PM
From my estimates, I'm missing 21 (from a list I've compiled of 72 total). The only really big one I'm missing is Suikoden 2 - I just refuse to pay the $100+ that it goes for. Keep hoping I'll get lucky & stumble across it someday, but as PS1 sections in stores get smaller & smaller that dream fades more & more. I'm still looking for the others I'm missing, but I would definitely step up the search if I had that missing piece.
KingofGames
06-24-2005, 11:28 PM
Yeah, in this day and age it's very tough to find a good deal on Suikoden II. It's nearly reached "PDS" status. Anyone who knows anything about collecting knows of Suiky II's value.

On one part, I have to say nice job on the collection!
On another part, I have to say that Rhapsody is harder to come by than Suikoden II... you'll see Suikoden II from time to time but I have yet to see a copy of Rhapsody outside of eBay.

06-25-2005, 03:32 AM
Congradulations on the collection! I would love to do the same if it didn't require so much work.
Now I challange you to collect sealed copies of each RPG, and place each sealed copy next to it's used counterpart.
KingofGames
06-25-2005, 03:36 AM
Haha, no thanks. :-p
As for finding used copies of Suikoden TWO for $28 off of Gamestop's website, you must have some access to a special area of the site, seeing as the game costs $59.99 in-store.
I've beaten around 12 of the games and I plan to finish many more by year's end. I can typically finish a 25-30 hour game in around a two week period, so I can see myself finishing the majority of the games by that time.

To be honest with you, I don't care much for it either. I'd prefer to have several shelves stacked on each other so none of the games had preasure from the other games. That's the next thing I'll have to invest in.

Nope, I bought it online alongside Ehrgeiz. Used the 20% off code too, so I only ended up paying about $40 for them. ;)

*shrug* I got my Rhapsody off of Ebay for just over $20, mint. Of course, this was well before Disgaea released & people started actually caring about the game.
I have Rhapsody, the Personas, Valkyrie Profile, the Tales of Destiny games, Suikoden 1...pretty much ALL of the hard-to-find games except for S2. The only ones I'm missing that I'd say will be moderately hard to come by are the Ogre Battle games, but I've seen those on Ebay for reasonable prices.

There's 72 games and the time to complete the games ranges anywhere from 10 hours all the way up to a good 60 hours. I would guess the average time for all 72 games would be 30 hours or so, meaning around 2,160 hours. That equates to 90 days of gameplay. :-) I think I'm set for life!

Maybe not the most expensive, but some of the hardest ones for me included Brigandine w/ map, DragonSeeds complete, Vanguard Bandits with Lunar demo, Final Fantasy Origins original and complete (everyone has this GH and sealed, hoping it'll be worth something), Lunar 2: Eternal Blue complete w/ pendant and all. While I was trying to acquire all of these rpgs, I owned multiple copies of Suikoden II and Rhapsody which most would consider to be the hardest to find. Who'da thunk I'd have the hardest time with games like FF:O and Vanguard Bandits!

That's the only comment I was going to make. Some of mine, I had to stack.. but I stand them up on their sides, not lay them down on their backs. They're reinforced alot better that way, but it's not even a big deal.

You could do what I do (I have just about as many PS1 rpgs as you) -- play them on an emulator: that way you can speed things up and cut 60 hours of gameplay down to about 20.

I have to agree with you on that as far as console RPGs go. Though ideally, I'd have my PC hooked up to the TV and then I'd play the games that way. 8-)

I'm glad someone else agrees with me on the rarity of Rhapsody. And Rhapsody didn't jump after Disgaea, it jumped right before... It was ~$20 brand new (when I neglected it) and all of a sudden it jumped to $40 and before I knew it, it went up again (after Disgaea this time) to $80+.
King, did you get the map with Alundra? That's one thing that troubled me...

Who'da thunk I'd have the hardest time with games like FF:O and Vanguard Bandits!
Yea, I guess it really varies on location and what games you luck upon. For example, I picked up Brigadine in very good condition from a local used movie/music/game place a few years back. Now that I think about it, I don't recall really seeing it around anywhere else, but I just picked it up at the time because it was an Atlus RPG I didn't have. I do think I'm missing some kind of map from that one, tho I'm not going to be that picky right now.
And Vinny, Rhapsody didn't jump in price after Disgaea but it jumped because of it. Disgaea had a decent buzz in RPG circles before it released, and around that time Rhapsody's popularity went up because of its connections to it. If that game had risen in value based on its own merits, then Guardian's Crusade would be incredibly expensive right now. It's just as scarce from my experience, and a much better game in the same style (beginner's RPG).

Quite a few of my PSone RPG's are still sealed for example Xenogears,Origins,Chronicles, Anthology,BOF 3 & 4 and a few others, Rhapsody would have been but the curiosity killed me...also have tons of guides for most of my RPG's...not bragging just feel like everyone else likes to share thier collections...and for the record none are GH, Plat or Players strictly collectors quality 100% complete and mint, might eventually post some pics for ya, 1

Now that I've "completed" my list, I may add the 10 or so games that aren't exactly RPG's. I think the only true RPG I'm missing is Master of Monsters, but that's a strategy/RPG from what I heard which is why I initially passed it up.
BBoyKimChee: I'd definitely recommend Suikoden I and II, Valkyrie Profile, Breath of Fire III, Final Fantasy Tactics, Wild Arms, Lunar: SSSC, and Lunar 2: Eternal Blue
EpicWolf: Impressive. My sealed collection was pretty nice for a little while. I had a sealed Final Fantasy VII, Legend of Mana, Vagrant Story and a few others. Mind you, those were all original. As for the guides, I have around 40 of 60 guides in my collection. I've got most of the big hitters like Suikoden, Suikoden II, Lunar 2: EB, Castlevania: SotN, and many, many others.

KOG, how much do you think this all cost together, everything that is?
Also, I sort of disagree with retaining sealed games (and never playing them), but I understand from a collector's point of view.
And if you could also, please list: your address, when time you or your family members are usually home, any security systems you might have, any pets or animals, and what room these games are stored. Thanks in advance!

It's really hard to determine how much was put into it, as I traded for the majority of these items. I think the most cash I actually spent on a single game was $28, and that was on DragonSeeds. I couldn't find any cheaper copies and no one had it for trade. The only thing you need to know about their storage is that I've got ol' Bessy in the same room. She's my sawd-off shotgun. :-)

You still got a ways to go if you want a complete PS1 RPG collection. Any reason why you don't have the Digimon World trilogy? Also, where are Gauntlet Legends, and the Tecmo's Deception trilogy? They may not be considered RPGs, but they live up to the genre more than Symphony of the Night (which is an Action/Side-Scroller, by the way...).

Kinda what i was thinking to. Congrats on getting "your" list but you are missing some key games that shouldn't be hard to find. The Deceptions don't belong but Digimon does as well as a few others. Im sure you saw my 81 list of RPG's that Official Playstation Magazine released in there issue 55.

Certain games from that list certainly were not RPGs (Herc's Adventure, Digimon World I and II, Mega Man Legends I and II, Misadventures of Tronne Bonne, Monkey Hero). In the long run, I'll add Digimon World 3, maybe Monster Rancher 1 and 2 (still need to find out more about these games), and Master of Monsters. I wouldn't consider those "key" titles though, as they basically bring the collection down. :-(

Congratulations! Btw, Monster Rancher is sorta like a simulator where you train monsters and they get stronger, gain new abilities, etc. Its a great series regardless, I'd recommend picking it up. Oh, and Harvest Moon, of course. Its borderline RPG as well, as your character upgrades his tools, gets more stamina, gets house additions, makes realtionships with people, etc. Highly recommend this series as well.

I really wish I had that collection.
Are all the games complete and like new? If so, let me know some sources, I have a few RPGs I'd like to get on the cheaper side of things.

Everything is complete, but not everything is like new. I don't believe anything is a previous rental and all of the games work. As for resources, there really isn't much to recommend outside of common knowledge places, such as Ebay, Gamestop, CAG, and Gametz.com. Your best bet is to look out for lots.

Nice collection!
I've been collecting PS1 RPGs these days a lot more, as prices have gone up. I'm a little distracted by picking up PS2 RPGs cheap before they pull a Suikoden.
Also, I sort of disagree with retaining sealed games (and never playing them), but I understand from a collector's point of view.
I kind of agree. I've got about 20 PS1 RPGs. But I only collect the ones that I will possibly play...and thus, that don't suck. The true bottom of the barrel stuff I am willing to pass on. Stuff like Beyond the Beyond, yikes :cold:

Have you started to collect those Suikoden action figures?
At Gamestop, I just picked up the "Hero 2" from Suikoden 2... I could not find the "Hero" from the original... for some reason, the figures for Suikoden 3, 4 and Gaiden didn't appeal to me - doesn't help that I haven't played them either.

Yup... those are the ones... You like them?
I don't think they're the greatest but they're pretty good, especially considering lesser known games (compared to MGS, FF) like Suikoden rarely get merchandise like this.
I'm guessing they are new in the US but I'm sure Japan has had them for a while... they were selling them for $5.99 at Gamestop. I went to 3 other GS after that and none of them carried them. YMMV for them stocking it... but maybe online is the way to go,

5.99 is a nice price... if they are brand new in the US, it might take awhile before all Gamestop's get an equal distrubution.
When the Street Fighter figures were brand new, some Gamestops around here got them later - I knew because I looked for an M. Bison forever (and finally found one, only one I ever saw).
I'd really only get the Nash - it's a shame they wasted spots on three characters from Suikoden 3... where is Flik and Viktor, and Jowy?

I'm still looking for Hero1.
I'm guessing you left the Gaiden one back on the shelf?

Which one is the Gaiden one?
I see 1 from Suikoden, 1 from S2, 4 from S3, and one from S4.
Unless Nash was also in Gaiden, but he had a role in S3 as well.

Preach on brotha!
Most of them are from Suik3 or the current games... I wanted Jowry and Nanami! I guess those games are too old for them to make them (and they're true not "main characters").
I'm still kicking myself for not getting the Samus (Metroid) figure at GS a couple years ago.

Maybe you are right about Nash in Gaiden... Please excuse my ignorance on the subject as I only played 1 and 2... I'm less then 10-hours into Suikoden 3 (Chris and Hugo story archs so far) before getting sidetracked with KOTR after the whole Episode 3 phenomena.

I got them at Gamestop. We received one full set, but some moron picked up Chris. I'll track one down eventually. As for the selection of the characters, these were all just the main characters from each Suikoden game. I noticed on the price tag that it says "assortment 1." Maybe additional sets will be released. I'd love to have figures for Pesmerga and Yuber. :-)

impressive. seeing some of those games brings back nightmares...
I got stuck at one point in LOK before the days of GAMEFAQs so that's a sorespot... the translation of FF5 made it unplayable for me... and the load times on any of the SNES ported games FF4-6/Chrono Trigger were horrendous, even on a PS2 with the speed up enabled.
Forgive my rant, I was having flashbacks. Again, congratulations... very nice. :applause:

I've come to the conclusion that RPGs suck. For every outstanding story like FF6 or FF10 or Xenosaga, there are a hundred lousy or mediocre stories.
No wonder RPG popularity has dropped to almost nil.

i'm missing 15 from what you have, most notably: Legend of Mana, Rhapsody, Brigandine, Tales of Destiny, Harvest Moon, and Saiyuki, the others crapfests such as King's Field, Battle Hunter, Monster Seed, and Shadow Tower.
congrats on the collection, i'm working my way there.
ps, if anyone wants Vanguard Bandits mint complete, i'll trade it for anything above, specifically Legend of Mana, Brigandine, or Tales of Destiny.
