Because they tend to be rare for some reason. All good RPGs end up being rare and therefore more expensive. Digital Devil Saga 1 is around 50 bucks USED...

Been playing DDS1 for the last 40 hours... and I bought DDS2 used for another 50, a bit ago. So I think it is good. Sue me.

The Star Ocean series is amazing.
Also, Wild Arms 3 is neat, and has cool Cell Animation.

Treasure Hunter G for SNES was fun.
Last game square made on a nintendo console.
Evolution, though the series could do with having a bit more cyframes for the other party members, and the game is way way too damn easy. Sting should increase the difficulty, drop in 2.5 times the experience, put less creatures on each level but with better AI, and a larger variety of traps. (so it actually feels like an archaelogical dig. You don't encounter snakes and lions every 50 steps in real life do you?) Also increase the amount of items you can carry dammit.
Atalier Iris: Eternal Mana
If you import, OZ (konami)
Lunar isnt quite "underground" - but play it. Ps1 ver.

I hear Live-A-Live was good. Oh and how about Vay and Popful Mail? Never tried em.

Popful Mail is like Slayers: The sidescrolling adventure game. Lots of madcap wacky fantasy humour. Can't go wrong with a wizard named Muttonhead.
Speaking of, Mail was hot, why is there no hentai of her? I swear, I have NEVER seen anything, which is suprising because all she wears is a breastplate and a one-piece white bathing suit under that.

Crusader of Centy for genesis. Some have called it a zelda clone, but it really is nothing like Zelda, except the fact that it's a 2-d RPG with real time combat...but what isn't?

truth.
I HATE the comparisons to zelda. "LOL U CAN THO UR SORD JUST LIEK IN ZELDA!" Can you make your sword rebound off walls in Zelda? Home in on enemies? Chase them like a homing missile? Fire multiple elemental blasts? NO? SHUT UP!
It's like all those morons that say Splinter Cell and MGS are "the same," or 2D fighters require no skill because they "all are limited to use the same movelists." Usually these jackholes get all their gaming information from shit like Stuff and G4 anyway, so it's not terribly illegal to put'em out of their misery. You should still make sure to cram them into an oil drum full of dynamite and explode them in a lake though, just in case you're in one of those staunchly ignorant-coddling areas. Plus, hey, free dead fish! Collect & eat!

I love Tales of Destiny and its follow-ups, though they're getting a little stale. I also adore the Lunar series and Shining Force 1&2.
And here's my Obscurity award: Beyond Oasis for the Genesis. Arabian-themed overhead Zelda-style adventure. What do I win?

None of you mentioned Dew Prism, failures.
Seconding Xenogears (but not xenosaga)
and also stating a fact
Quintet developed Enix prduced and published soul blazer trilogy over most games and pretty much all other action rpgs(read: ffgaidensetsu 2,3, and beyond) forever. Oh and they definitely beat those turn based "action" rpgs.

Another vote for Atelier Iris. It reminds me so much of the "good 'ol days" of RPGs, and the graphical style and chara design rock. Just anime enough without becoming an "interactive anime". Only complaint is that it's way too easy to get to a point where you need to be a much higher level without going around levelling.

Dead battery, mang. An easy fix if you get a security bit / gamebit set on ebay. And have moderate soldering ability.

Guardian War/Powers Kingdom and Lucianne's Quest.
Hunt around IRC for'em in 3DO emu rooms. LQ is sorta like Lunar Lite, and GW is 3D FFT but without moogles. (you can even have secondary and tertiary 'bodies' equipped the way one uses jobs in FFXI and use their skillsets.) Has a quaint lego-y charm to the graphics too. The appearance of the various classes/bodies (you're spirits inhabiting different golem things) is so stolen from FF1. Just try and resist yelling HADOKEN when you use the Atom Bomb spell. Both by Micro Cabin.

lol nothing much I imagine. It was popular enough to get a sequel, after all.
I wish they would reveal only after you killed someone they were related to you. I love my storytellin' nice and bleak, like when Nei bites the dust in PS2.
The prettiness and depressingness of Valkyrie Profile,
but I'll also toss in Rhapsody and, for the SNES,
Robotrek.

Nobody cares about them, because they're much better than console stuff? Show me Japanese RPG with good dialog and REAL choices that ACTUALLY affect story/game. Haven't seen one myself.
