2/13/2025: Localization News - Cosmic Fantasy 3-4!Rather earth-shattering news in the PC Engine / TurboGrafx-16 community: Cosmic Fantasy 3 & 4 has been officially localized to English by Edia 30 years later for the Switch! Hard to believe! I know their script quality is poor given the 1&2 port but still good to see. 
Bravoman! That was it! Yeah, that looked like something I'd like. Extra half a grand? Jeez, Dynastic Hero seems a bit steep for me, I'm only a high school student. >_> I already thought the Valis games looked quite nice, and I was planning on getting those. Shockman sounds fun, too. These games like Cadash, which are apparently platform-RPGs, I like them. Oh, uh, not to sound like a noob here, but what is a Super CD?

Quote from: SeldanePatching the games involves dumping the game to your hard drive, patching it, and then burning it to a CD-R so that you can play it on your system (it has no copy protection, it can play these games).
There aren't many RPGs on the Turbo Grafx, but some of them are: Cosmic Fantasy 2 (bad battle system, über-ridiculous encounter rate), Dragon Slayer The Legend of Heroes (probably the best English RPG, and yet it is mediocre, as aforementioned), Ys I-II (not really an RPG, very overrated [and that's coming from an insane Ys fan!]) and.... I think that's it. At least if we're listing games worth playing. Like I mentioned earlier, the PC Engine/Turbo Grafx is not an RPG system. At least not if you want to play games in English.
Uh.. okay. Well, either way, I'll probably end up getting those, anyway. Like I said, I'm very non-picky when it comes to RPGs. The TG seems to fit me more since I'm a very single player kind of guy, and it features a lot of single player games, anyway. I think I'll very much enjoy this Turbografx once I get it. Expect me to be a frequent around here.
I'll be getting a Wii for Christmas, too, but I don't really like stuff like emulation or anything, even if it's legit. And as for the patch thing, I dunno if I'm into that... hm.

Wow, you guys have been so kind. I really appreciate you going out of your way to help me out. Well, I have a lot to respond to, but here it goes (in no particular order):
I already have Popful Mail for Sega CD, which I hear was one of the best versions, anyways (or at least compared to the Super Famicom version), and it's the only one released in English. Wonderful game, though.
As for Cosmic Fantasy 2, I was going to ask about that, since I saw someone make a thread about it. I play a lot of RPGs and I'm not very picky, as long as it's not horrible. If it has a fun battle system or good storyline (both would be a real plus), I don't mind.
I didn't know that the TGCD was region-free, that's good to know, though I'm not really much of an import gamer. To be honest, all I've imported are some Ganbare Goemon games, Stafy no Densetsu 1-3, Mother 3, and Kingdom Hearts: Final Mix. And I only bought the RPGs among those because I'm a massive fan of Kingdom Hearts and EarthBound.
But back on topic, thanks for the shooter reccomendations, I know the system is known for shooters, which is great, because I've loved them since my days as a youngster (well, I guess I'm still a bit young, 15). I've already planned on getting the Gate of Thunder games and Lord(s?) of Thunder, since they look so cool and they're must-haves. Oh, and Air Zonk, because I've never tried a cute-em-up. 
Back on the RPG subject, as much as I don't mind importing, I really like to know everything that's going on in a game without having to consult a manual. So while I don't mind "figuring it out", I'd feel like I was maybe missing something in the process of playing. And about that patch thing, how would that work exactly? I know you described it, but maybe a little more detailed? If it involves ROMs or anything like that, I can't say that I'm interested in the process. Sorry, it's just not exactly my style.
Oh, and I really like your friend's XyZ site, Seldane. But uh... of all the RPGs you guys are listing, do you think you could let me know which ones have and haven't been officially released here?
One last thing before I post this up: can anyone reccomend some platformers for the TG-16 and CD? I already know of Bonk, which I'll definitely get, but I also heard of a quirky sounding one where you punch phones and they talk to you? That one sounds interesting, too. Any others? And again, if you reccomend an import to me (which I don't mind at all), just let me know if it's Japan only, okay? Thank you all so much, you're probably the nicest people on internets.

Thanks! Mediocre, eh? :/ Lol, jeez, standing still? I don't mind encounter rates, but whoa. Oh, yeah, I forgot I heard a little about Xak III, though not much. As for Ys IV, was that released outisde of Japan? I heard it wasn't. I pretty much can only play the games in English, and I don't know how one would go about playing a Japanese game on a US Turbografx (I heard about some card, but it was for TurboDuo? I'm very inexperienced in this field, I'm more of a Saturn RPG kind of guy). As for this Xak III, tell me more, if you would be so kind. Also, I love RPGs, but I still want the Turbografx/Turbo CD for Bonk 1-3, Neutopia I and II, and a bunch of different shootemups.

Hello there, pcengine-fx.com! I'm a hardcore gamer, but up until recently I've only been playing games on Nintendo, Sega, Sony, and Microsoft consoles, but the TG is something I find really appealing. I've been really thinking about buying a TurboGrafx-16 with a Turbo CD for quite some time now, and I think I may just do it with my Christmas money. Well, I was wondering if anyone could name for me some good Japanese RPGs for either the TurboGrafx-16 and/or Turbo CD, as that's my favorite genre and I know I really have to have at least 2 stellar RPGs on a console for me to love it (the N64 is my exception ). I already know of Ys Book I&II, Ys III, Valis I-IV, and I saw some infomercial on YouTube (I believe it was from this site, actually) that said something about an RPG called Dragon Slayer. I'm already considering those titles, but having more options never hurts. So, I'd appreciate you guys helping me out here, thanks!
