Final Fantasies 7 and 8 are the two big ones. I love Medieval 2 as well, and wish they would update the graphics engine for it. Sorry it took so long to respond. I put a small description on myself in the My Account section.

Ugh, man, FF7 and 8 never grabbed me, JRPG repetition forever, everything’s totally on rails, no solid combat design, just esoteric mumbojumbo masquerading as depth. The only JRPG I care about is Panzer Dragoon Saga, it worked within the JRPG limitations and did it well, it didn’t force a bunch of mindless combat to draw out the experience cheaply

JRPGS aren’t really RPGS, they’re adventure games. it’s a bunch of minigames glued to flashy art assets and a story. Fallout is an RPG. Torment is an RPG. Ultima 4 is an RPG. Oblivion is an RPG.

They should remake Autoduel, and they’ve already granted my wish in remaking X-Com. I wouldn’t mind seeing a remake of Return of Heracles, but I’m not holding my breath,
