One that always stuck with me was Legend of Legaia
Never met anyone who played it and the sequel on ps2 was terrible.
Some unique things I never saw in a turn based rpg again:
Armor you could buy and equip per slot and you were able to mix and match… This meant you could look really stupid when farming money for different sets but it was exciting to get a new item and equip it and see
This was a turn based rpg but had some inspiration from arcade fighter games of the time… You would enter your attacks like up down left right x y z and then say ready and your character would do a combo… You could randomly enter combos and learn new specials and finishes etc… Also a lot of ways to learn them through exploration and such
Not unique the game has a ton of fun side quests, games and secrets as well…
What is an obscure piece of media or videogame that you think nobody else here has heard of? (kbin.social)
It could even be a youtube video or movie that you don't think anyone reading this has heard of besides you.
