Vandal Hearts 2.
While I started playing some old rpgs, most of them I can only take them at intervarls.
Like I started Tales of Phantasia and Langrisser 2.
I still intend to continue but they have not grabbed me like say old school FF did.
Vandal Hearts 2 on the other hand captivated me. Yes the art direction is "bland" but man does it fit the setting so much.
Unlike the other SRPGs like FFT, Langrisser or Fire Emblem, the art direction, sprites and portraits actually lead to some heavy events explored like the initial massacre, the second gen in town massacre and others to actually hit.
The gameplay is unique and while some say its easy, I have had a few gruesome battles.
Also love the progression as you constantly get new weapons with new skills to learn and use.
In general easily the best retrogame I have gotten into so far.
I am already on my second playthrough with the Spanish localization (Something FFT and TO didn't get) and plan a third down the line with the mod that makes it play like your average srpg enemy/player phase.
Great find for me.
