I have a few of these games in some form, such as Valkyrie Profile Lenneth, Tactics Ogre, and Tales of Eternia (UK import) all on PSP. But I have a complete copy of P2 Eternal Punishment on PS1. I bought it for $85 in 2017. I'm glad I got it when it was still reasonable. And I got a complete copy of Suikoden II not long ago for a "really good" price for what it is ($250).

Tales of Destiny II turned out to be one of my favorite games from the PS1 era. I didn't get my hands on it until about 5 years ago, so no nostalgia involved. Fantastic, fantastic game with a wonderful cast and world map. A huge improvement over Tales of Phantasia and Tales of Destiny.

I LOVED Working Designs as a localization company. Lunar 2 is still my favorite game of all time. WD is the reason why I bought the Arc the Lad collection, Alundra, Vanguard Bandits and Lunar Silver Star Story back in high school, and I never sold ANY of them. I still have the Omake boxes From AtLC and L2 with all the stuff they came with. I had no they were worth as much as they are today. Doesn't matter though. They are NEVER getting sold.

I recently purchased Lunar and Lunar 2, as well as Arc the Lad Collection with the Omake boxes and all the goodies, cloth maps, leather manuals, outer boxes, etc. I was eyeing them a few years ago but never pulled the trigger. Now that stuff is climbing in price, I got them before they get to be absolutely ridiculous. Speaking of climbing prices, I completed my PSP collection a few years ago. I'm glad I did because some of that stuff is getting expensive too. Stuff like Persona 2: Innocent Sin, Persona 3 Portable, Hexyz Force, Monster Kingdom: Jewel Summoner, Ragnarok Tactics, Ys Seven and others are getting pricey.

Valkyrie Profile can be had on the PSP for a reasonable price, but even PSP games are steadily climbing (all of the Persona games are already quite expensive). As far as Suikoden II goes, if you are willing to spend the money on a copy and you need to budget your money, you can save money up and purchase a copy. But you might need to forgo other games in the meantime.

I remember getting the Arc the Lad collection and thoroughly beating 1 and 2 all so I could play 3, and I just....never got around to playing 3.

Honestly, the idea that a classic game's mechanics may seem archaic as you described isn't necessarily a bad thing. Sometimes an rpg can be too convoluted, and it's a breath of fresh air to play one so straightforward.

It's worth noting that Shadow Hearts takes place in the same setting as Koudelka, with the mummy-like Roger Bacon being a character in both, and Koudelka herself having a cameo in Shadow Hearts.

The two versions of Rhapsody are pretty different, just as a heads up to anyone interested. The plot and dialogue are the same, but the DS version uses a traditional turn-based battle system compared to the grid-based tactical one on PSX. The DS version also uses only the Japanese vocal tracks for the songs. The PSX version has English lyrics.

You could do a video on PS1 tactical RPGs. There are many most people won't now about like Eternal Eyes, Saiyuki: Journey West, Vandal Hearts 1 ( and i guess 2),etc

I once owned a copy of Valkyrie Profile PS1 which I regrettably sold just before it skyrocket in price. At least I still have the PSP version to play.

I would gladly rebuy the game if it is available physical on a modern format. But I refuse to pay these made up inflated prices. I support developers not random guys on ebay.

jRPGs are generally among the most expensive and sought after games for older systems. It shouldn't come as a surprise -- they were usually released in small copy numbers (aside from mainline Final Fantasy games) and at the same time most of them were objectively very good. Regarding the list, you could probably include Symphony of the Night. It wasn't a pure RPG, but it did have RPG elements. BTW: if you're on a budget and have a modded PS1, you might consider buying these games from other regions, as they can sometimes be considerably cheaper (for example, Koudelka in PAL version is still relatively affordable).

Historically speaking, Suikoden II and Valkyrie Profile were the two expensive PSX RPGs, going as far back as 15 years. Paying $200 for a game was considered insane in the mid 2000s and these two were of the handful that commended such prices (across all platforms), which should tell you something about their quality and collector demand. That's when and for how much I bought them, I am extremely surprised that they barely increased in price compared to the rest of the PSX RPG library; for instance all the other games you mention here I picked for $30-50 at around that same time 2006-2008 (with Rhapsody being the rarest and most expensive of them).

@@Tasuke I own a lot of Tales games (and even some collector's editions), but have only actually played 3 so far: Tales of Eternia (PSP) - Good game, but not amazing. Interesting combat, ok story, but really liked the world map. Tales of the Abyss (3DS) - Excellent game. Luke starts off as a butthole, but really progressed as a character in the game. Great humor. Tales of Graces f (PS3) - Awesome game. This game is probably just a little outside of my top 10 games of all time. I laughed so much throughout this game. Sofie was a badass. The Mystic Arts were fantastic. I also own Legendia, Symphonia Chronicles (comes with both games), Xillia 1 and 2, Zesteria, Berseria, and Arise, but have yet to play them. I just have a large backlog of games overall.

I have most of these. Valkyrie Profile is one I owned for a long time before a jackass roommate of mine got mad that I wouldn't let him play Tekken 3 so he scratched it up to shit. It was beyond toast by then.

Excuse me. Did you just say I'm holding on to a $310 game. I always knew I was destined for greatness.

Wales!!!! I knew that accent from somewhere! My Fiancé is half welsh, last name Evans.

Haha yeah Evans is a really common last name here 😅

I recently managed to buy a mint condition version of Koudelka for only $75, so I'm pretty pleased about that.
