Completionist recommendations?

[Ando85]

Lately I have been trying to be more of a completionist gamer to get the most out of my games. JRPGs are my favorite genre so was wondering if you could recommend some titles that are the most satisfying to fully complete 100 percent.

I'd prefer the type that don't have too many missables. I'm already replaying FF13 because I gimped myself out of getting Treasure Hunter. It has been over a year since I played it so I don't really mind going through it again at this point. However, I'd like to avoid games that require replaying the entire game over and over again just for a few missing achievements.

I have a big collection of JRPGs so chances are I might already have the game but less likely that I have 100 percented it. It doesn't have to be current gen either. I have a 360,Wii,PS3,Saturn, Dreamcast,SNES,PS2,PS1,PSP,and DS (no 3DS yet).

Castlevania, Metroid and that Shadow Complex game are all great to 100%.

Play all the Disgaea games to 100%. Will talk to you in a decade

Tales of Vesperia I shall always recommend it!

Also try Skies of Arcadia, great game with completion value too

Haha, yea that series is insane. I've at least beat the main storyline of 1 and 2...3 sits in the backlog. I did set out to fully complete the first one but then realized what a daunting task it would be.

I love both of those games. I do want to replay Tales of Vesperia at some point, but it seems to have some pretty annoying missable achievements. Great game nonetheless.

hmm...you're hard to shop for...played all the Final Fantasies?

Dark Cloud for Ps2 is one of my favourite games around, erm..my friend goes on about the Suikoden series, .Hack?

If you have a Dreamcast you should absolutely got for 100% completion of the collectible figurines in Shenmue 2. Yes yes yes.

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

Pokemon, assuming you merely go for National Dex.

Full Pokedex is now bonkers.

Digimon world (ive only played the first one) im currently trying to get an ultimate on that and its really hard and has loads of stuff to collect so should be a good time sink for you

I actually recently played Dark Cloud 2. The original sits in my backlog. But, I didn't do the bonus chapter so I should look into that. Rogue Galaxy seems like a good candidate as well. I've beaten Suikoden 1,2,3,and 5 but never got all 108 stars of destiny on any of them. That's another daunting task that sounds satisfying. As for .hack that's a series I never got into.

As for Final Fantasy I've beaten 4,6,7,8,9,10,12,13. Like mentioned before I just restarted FF13 in hopes of 1000/1000ing it. As for the others I have done all the sidequests and just about everything you can do in 6,7,9,and 10.

Well, I never played Dark Cloud 2 but DC1 and Rogue Galaxy are both incredible, and White Knight Chronicles is also pretty good. I recommend every Level-5 game.

Also FF1 and 2 are up pn the PSN store (not that its working atm) they are also very good (if short) games, worth playing.

I also hear the SaGa games are great, I only played Unlimited SaGa...it's unusual

If you haven't and you like unusual JRPGs, try Last Remnant, it's very unusual
