A gaming sub free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

You could also try Suikoden I & II! Cult classic

Thank you for the suggestion! I tend to like more adventure types, like Breath of Fire or even Zelda, more than war-themed ones (although I made an exception for Destiny of an Emperor b/c it's based on real historical events, even if loosely), but I see where this game was done REALLY well, so a very solid thought!:-)

I see why you mentioned it: the intention behind it does seem exactly like the Lufia series, really putting in the time to tinker and make it RIGHT, like it tries to go beyond a mere "game" for enjoyment, possibly crossing over into a master of its CRAFT (whether it actually reached that lofty ideal seems highly debatable, but in any case the attempt alone is worthy of some respect imho).

I am just leaving this out there if anyone wants to learn more: Suikoden II - The Best RPG You Never Played.

I'd like to bring your attention to Crystal Project on Steam. It's honestly one of the best jrpg games I've played in the last 5 years. It's less story driven than the DW/DQ series, but it is platformy and very exploration based. I haven't played since the balance patches, but the game was about everything I could possibly want in an exploration jrpg. It's more Final Fantasy like, but it scratched a deep itch I didn't know I had.

I don't even have Steam installed on my computer, but maybe I should do that just to check this out, thanks for sharing!:-)

FF5-like job system, on steroids - woot!:-P video review.
