Got my new retro handheld emulator. It’s an Anbernic Arc-D. Just got 50 GB of roms loaded from my personal currated collection and I kind of think I wanna jump into some jrpgs I can play on the couch when I wanna decompress. Right now I’m looking at starting with GBA titles since I missed that whole era but I’m mainly looking for any suggestions up to PS1 era. I’ve played all the main ones like Chrono Trigger and FFVI but open to anything.

My current line up is looking like Mario RPG, Mother 2 And 3, and Golden Sun.

What are some other bangers I should definitely check out?

Also the Arc-D is dope as fuck. Stock firmware isn’t even that bad.

E: thanks all for the suggestions! Gonna currate a list this morning and probably start with Golden Sun before diving into the rest. A lot of gems I recall missing out on when I was a kids too that I’m eager to jump into.

    I played Xenogears when it first came out but wanna save a replay for when I finally tackle the rest of the Xeno-verse games, even though they aren’t all conical to each series.

    I do need to give the other Mana games a go. I played Legend on Switch and burned through like 4 differnet team makeups and actually enjoyed it for its mindless fun.

    Def forgot about Terranigma so will be adding that.

    And of course also forgot about Tactics Ogre so I can grab the PSP version. I have the emulator for it so might as well put it to use.

    All great suggestions, thanks!
