Lufia 2 comes before the first one and is the best in the series; arguably the best rpg created.

I will concur on Baten Kaitos Origins actually contributing on the original's story while being a prequel. It's just a shame the game feels lesser gameplay wise.

>Only three characters

And? They're much better developed than the 6 in the original. Plus since 2/6 characters sucked and two of the others are virtually never in the party together you never really bothered customizing the party.

>This one kinda gets away with it because it focuses on a fairly minor character that most players probably never even learned about on their first playthrough of FF7.

Isn't learning about Zack Fair or at least about what actually happened to Sephiroth a required scene before Cloud gets off his lazy ass in Wano? Players may not remember him but they definitely learned about him.

>Fuck Genesis though. He drags down every scene he appears in.

Sadly this, I'm glad they didn't milk Sephiroth relentlessly but Genesis is a faggot. Angeal would have been a cool final boss.

>A defining staple of JRPGs is selecting your squad

<And?

And they had one job. There's no real arguing otherwise. It's like arguing not being able to turn left in a racing game is legitimate because you can better appreciate the nuances of turning right.

Funny that I only played legend returns for the gbc. I also played the one for gba but it was kinda shit and not connected.

>realize Lyude's dad is fucking his maid and the reason Lyude's siblings hate him is he's their bastard half-brother

>figure out the girl whose dad you just killed in front of her is Savyna and that's why killing someone's dad in front of them fucked her over

>realize Giacomo signed up to become his dad's gueinna pig to gain power after Sagi kept beating his ass

>Realizing Melodia is Sagi and Milly's daughter and that's why Malpercio picked her

FE7

however its plot is mainly original, with relatively few tie-ins and explanations for the future shit (though enough to be satisfying… its a shame that FE6's plot sucked donkey dick by comparison)

Dragon Quest 3 is still the king of video game prequels.

Snake Eater's story is pretty good. It's just too bad that it was ruined by the other prequels.

Lufia is one of the rare series where you want to play the sequel first since Lufia I actually spoils the plot of the second game.

Yeah, but that's supposed to be a twist

In the main story, when Tifa is helping Cloud repair his psyche, he figures out that Zack was there for the Nibelheim incident, and that he's confused his identity for Zack's, but you don't really get a good idea of what kind of person Zack was. There's an important yet optional cutscene you can find by returning to the Shinra Mansion's basement after Cloud rejoins the party, where he has a flashback of their escape, and how Zack died. It develops Zack as a person, which in turn explains some of Cloud's actions. There's little reason to go back to the mansion this late in the game, so a lot of people never found it.
