Well, Sega didn't make any of these outside of Phantasy Star and Shining Force, but I know what you meant. Also, the majority of the actual RPG's listed here are Chinese exclusives, not Japanese. Japan didn't get too many more RPG's on the console then we did, although they did get a *few* more. It's pretty bizarre to think that most of them are Chinese exclusives, because when does that ever happen? I know they make a lot of bootlegs for dead systems that are exclusive to the region, but these were *official* titles released during the lifespan of the console. I should also mention that this guy missed Chiki Chiki Boys, a game very similar to the Monster World games that should have been included in the action/adventure section. It's suppose to be very good, and it actually got a western release.
@@JMFSpike Outside of Phantasy Star and Shining Force? Did you even watch the video? What about Dragon Slayer, Surging Aura, Rent a Hero, Shadowrun, Landstalker, Light Crusader, Crusader of Centy, Fatal Labyrinth, Sword of Vermilion, King Colossus, Beyond Oasis, Sorcerian, Wonder Boy/Monster World, Yu Yu hakusho Gaiden, D&D Warrior of the Eternal Sun. Regardless if they are 1st or 2nd party, they are all Sega games.
@@avideogamemaster They are not developed by Sega. Sega may have published some of them, but that is a completely different thing. They are Sega games in the sense that they are on a Sega console, nothing more. That's what I was getting at.
@@JMFSpike Nope, that is completely wrong. If Sega published the game, they own it. They payed money for the game to be made. All games were developed under Sega's contract. Using your logic is the same as saying Microsoft owns Donkey Kong now, because Rare made the Donkey Kong Country games and a couple more, and Rare was bought by Microsoft. That is not the case, Nintendo own the games and the franchise, they just hired Rare to make for them. All these Sega games belong to Sega, with a couple franchises not actually owned by them (such as D&D and Shadowrun), but they still own the game itself. Besides, there are a few "in-house" games there (Rent A Hero, Surging Aura, King Colossus). Rent a Hero was even made by Yu Suzuki, one of the main heads of Sega at that time LOL.
I played Shining in the Darkness, Shining Force, Shining Force 2, Story of Thor, Phantasy Star IV, Gauntlet 4, Light Crusader, Landstalker, and Soleil so much as a kid.
Thank you so much good sir 😄 I used to play Feng Shen Ying Jie Chuan on a knock off psp kinda console (which was fully in Japanese and I just memorized what buttons did what) I've been searching for that gem for so long, glad I came across this video!
Came here expecting to find that one forgotten sega game I never got to finish because back then I was a little kid that didn't understand the english language, it was Crusader of Centy, thank you very much for this video, very useful.
Trivia: Sorcerian is actually the subtitle so to say, " _Dragon Slayer V: Sorcerian_ " is what it's lesser known as, as it is a part of the Dragon Slayer series. The very same series that one can say that Adol Christin was inspired by as a child ( _in-universe_ ) to become the red headed adventurer we know him today as ( _Ys series_ ).
shining force 2 is still the best game i've played in that genre. the recent xcom games were good, i'm currently playing mario rabbids...after that i have fire emblem (which i think is the same genre). i remember jeanne darc being pretty fun but nothing has the abilities, the secrets, even the whacky story of shining force 2. it reminds me a lot of diablo 2...how the fuck can no one even rip it off properly to make a game, at least on the same level, all these years later. then there was shining force 3 which no one in the west got to play, after which they turned the series into anime nonsense no one wants to play. depressing.
I know it's the nostalgia talking but I love Sword of Vermilion I got it with my Genesis as a kid (along with Mortal Kombat and Thunder Force II). It's a game you can switch your brain off and have a bunch of fun with. P.S. I love Shining in the Darkness too...it makes you hurt so good.
we've had some translation releases for games like Star Odyssey, Brave Battle Saga and the like. Would be wonderful to get some English physical releases for titles like Surging Aura and Dragon Slayer!
The first Legend of Heroes game (Dragon Slayer is actually the series its a subseries of, not to go into detail) is actually available in English on the Turbografx-CD, subpar dub, but I find it kind of charming. I do like the MegaDrive and PC88/98 versions' chunkier graphics myself, however. Please enjoy, it's a hidden gem despite sticking very close to classic Dragon Quest-style tradition. Its sequel hasn't been translated yet, sadly, though I also like it (it's way harder, though).
Imagine if even 2 of those unlocalized turn based ones got a port It would've changed the perception of the Mega Drive as console with not many JRPGs to one with a competitive amount Aw well
Phantasy Star 2 was by far the best due to the high level of monster difficulty and hard to navigate buildings. Big problem with Phantasy Star 2 is that you can have a high experience level and still hardly put a dent on a monster or robot. Even Dark Force was hard to beat.
First of all, I must say that this is a fantastic list overall. I think you got every Genesis rpg in here for sure, and from every region of the world. I believe you meant to call your action/adventure section action/rpg, but you did actually have a few action/adventure games in there, so I'm a bit confused. That particular section also had a few games that should have been in your simulation/other section, which really should have been called simulation/strategy. But category issues aside, I'd definitely recommend this to anyone wondering what all rpgs the Genesis had on it.
Fun Fact: Braver Battle Saga is a bootleg game that reuses graphics from Romancing SaGa 3, such as the fairy village and the holy temple's entrance. Yeah, a game with Saga in the title reuses graphics from a SaGa game, crazy huh? Well, even more crazy is the reuse of Kefka's sprites, no joke they just reuse his sprites for a character. Tu Shi Tian Di, Wu Kong Wai Shuan, Ya Se Chuan Shuo and Beggar Prince (I ain't typing the chinese name, fuck off) are also unlicensed and made by similar creators, though they remain untranslated.
Rent a Hero! Made that English translated cartridge as my first EPROM I programmed, soldered, and made label for! Luckily there is a fully complete, albeit unreleased English sequel on the OG Xbox I am playing also, it was released officially on Dreamcast in Japan only besides this one.
Phantasy Star 1 is really a Master System game though I guess they did re-release subversion for mega drive later.. also I think some of these unlicensed Chinese games were actually released much later than 1996
Might & Magic III: Isles of Terra was not released for Mega Drive / Genesis. Battle Golfer Yui is missing, a great golf-RPG! Kidou Keisatsu Patlabor is also missing.
OMG.. Some of the Japanese exclusive games (such as the ones that look like Phantasy Start and Shinning Force clones) look like games I would have loved to have if they had a US release.
One came out on psp as a part of the mega drive collection and I used to love it but I can't remember what it was called or what it looked like but phantasy Star 2 looks familiar
So many Japanese games I'd love to play. Really wish there were translation speedrunners like there use to be. If you're smart enough to play an RPG then you're smart enough to play a badly translated game that's maybe only half translated but still know what's going on and what to do. Like if you're translating menus and stats and all that, most stuff in there is obvious to a player even if it is Japanese text. Instead translate parts an english speaker wouldn't get then stop work on menus and focus your time on rushing through some other aspect of the game. Once the game is out in a playable 0.01 version, you can go back and clean things up for the next patch. Like a while ago I finish that game there called Star Odyssey. I played an old translation that was very primitive but was just fine. Dialogue was short and very to the point in a broken english sort of way. Later I found a new translation of the same game and tried it. The new one was just too wordy. Old translations get a point across in one short sentence, while more polished translations use several paragraphs to make the same point. It's a waste of time, in my opinion. I would be satisfied if there was a translator out there who just black out dialogue boxes entirely. You talk to an NPC, an ugly black box pops up on screen, and the text written is the most basic font, an the most rushed dialogue. Speedwrite it. Just get it done. Spelling and grammar mistakes? As a NES fanboy, even officially translated games that we got back in the day were filled with those. Then when you speedtranslate other games, use the same method. Same black box, same basic text, speed is key. You go fast enough you can translate any RPG on this list in less than a month, instead of the usual time which is several years. I mean, a while ago I played a game for Amiga called Evil's Doom. Recommended if you like dungeon crawlers. But the amount of spelling errors and grammar mistakes on every page is absolutely absurd. Just go play it. I mean, every single sentence in the entire game, and I mean every sentence, has at least one mistake. No, at least two mistakes. But I played it just fine. No confusion from me. In fact, broken english has an otherworldly, alien feel to it, like you really are being transported somewhere else. Another thing I always wished for were bilingual UA-camrs who could just longplay Japanese language RPGs but speak the words out loud in english. Never watched a longplay in my life but I'd watch that. I'd also like to see more 3-D games translated. My advice for that is not even bother with audio. That slows the process down too much. Subtitles are more than fine. Voice acting usually sucks which is why undubs are popular now, so it might be a plus to just scrap any voice acting.
Translation is always a complicated point, especially of the Japanese language because of all cultural particularities. I believe that many translations are done with the help of Google Translator and things like that, if the person does not master both languages, hardly be able to do a good translation.

i got to take some time out to play some of these already bought games, I played Cadash great game best version, played light crusader hard as balls, and played Arcus odyssey it is much better version than the snes!
12:52 *_Dungeons & Dragons: Warriors of the Eternal Sun_* is the best... ...but I might change my mind after I play the *_Shining Force_* series [ 4:20 ].
I love Warriors of the eternal sun. Played it to death back when it was released. I just started playing it again yesterday and I'm really enjoying it. To be honest I did use game genie codes so I didn't have to spend time rerolling stats.
@@JonasRosenven There are so many romhacks, but we definitely need a romhack of WOTES with a new story & new maps, & updated graphics for players & enemies. IMO, WOTES would make a decent engine for a *_Star Trek_* romhack: It'd be mostly planetary exploration, altho, it does have a 1st person combat that could be used for space combat ? My party would probably be Android, Andorian, Klingon, + one other... not sure ? ...maybe Betazoid healer ?
@@nikolaikalashnikov4253 I never even thought of how the game could be modified for other stuff before your comment. How about a dark sun setting where everything is new to the player? It's probably one of the most underused settings. Everything was new when I played it back in the nineteens. It was so much fun that everything was new. I don't see why a star trek setting or even a western setting wouldn't work with wots engine. As much as I like the game I think that the strong point are the exploration and the combat inside the dungeons. Not so much the combat on the world map.
@@JonasRosenven ah, i prefer the strategic combat on the World Map because the dungeon combat can be "cheesed" via Run N Gun: But it's a nice exploit for leveling up your party really fast.
@@nikolaikalashnikov4253 I think both ways of combat worked pretty good. I just enjoyed the dungeon stuff more than the top down stuff. They both have their good and bad sides. As a side note: I can't believe how many hours I spent save scumming when leveling up to make sure my team got almost max hit points when they got a new level. :) Any way I have to say that my memories of playing this game pretty much hold up to my time playing it these past days. It's still a pretty fun game for me.
I grew up with The Faery Tale Adventure on Genesis. My mom was so into it she made hand drawn maps of the world and kept them in the case with the manual.
Wow! I'd like to see that!
I was triyng to play fairy tale 2 on the notebook, but do not work on win10
I love Phantasy Star 4, such a masterpiece.
It sure is.
if anyone patches that game for the spell names to relate to the effect or adds descriptions or whatever, this game would be in my top 3 of all time.
@@Lwilibert the animations generally reveal the element, foi = fire, gra = gravity, tandle = electric, zan = air or wind, tsu = light, efess = holy or psy, stuff like that.
Shining Force 2 forever in my heart.

If these were out here in the west back in the day. The Sega Genesis would have better rival SNES in the rpg category tbh
Nice list. Not sure i'd call Pirates an rpg though :)
The line separating the game styles is narrow.
Man, if they only released the other RPGs from Japan, I might have gone Genesis instead of the SNES, that was the main reason: RPGs.
The amount of rpg games released in the West is really low.
You could count Corporation as it has a story and items etc, unlike Gauntlet...
How did you forget Warsong/Langrisser and Langrisser 2? Also Vixen 357....
I didn't, just preferred not to include because they are more strategy games than RPG
Great video 👍👍
right off the bat you show the title screen for Phantasy Star with the 1987 copyright..
and you have it as a 1994 release.

I love Warriors of the eternal sun. Played it to death back when it was released. I just started playing it again yesterday and I'm really enjoying it. To be honest I did use game genie codes so I didn't have to spend time rerolling stats.
@@JonasRosenven There are so many romhacks, but we definitely need a romhack of WOTES with a new story & new maps, & updated graphics for players & enemies. IMO, WOTES would make a decent engine for a *_Star Trek_* romhack: It'd be mostly planetary exploration, altho, it does have a 1st person combat that could be used for space combat ? My party would probably be Android, Andorian, Klingon, + one other... not sure ? ...maybe Betazoid healer ?
@@nikolaikalashnikov4253 I never even thought of how the game could be modified for other stuff before your comment. How about a dark sun setting where everything is new to the player? It's probably one of the most underused settings. Everything was new when I played it back in the nineteens. It was so much fun that everything was new. I don't see why a star trek setting or even a western setting wouldn't work with wots engine. As much as I like the game I think that the strong point are the exploration and the combat inside the dungeons. Not so much the combat on the world map.
@@JonasRosenven ah, i prefer the strategic combat on the World Map because the dungeon combat can be "cheesed" via Run N Gun: But it's a nice exploit for leveling up your party really fast.
@@nikolaikalashnikov4253 I think both ways of combat worked pretty good. I just enjoyed the dungeon stuff more than the top down stuff. They both have their good and bad sides. As a side note: I can't believe how many hours I spent save scumming when leveling up to make sure my team got almost max hit points when they got a new level. :) Any way I have to say that my memories of playing this game pretty much hold up to my time playing it these past days. It's still a pretty fun game for me.
