A second volume gathering three more Falcom classics, this compilation extends the journey through the studio's founding RPGs. Exploring their worlds, chaining the dungeons and seeing each quest through fills long hours. That generosity, faithful to Falcom's catalogue, offers a longevity retro-RPG fans savour.
Limited Genteiban Japanese edition of Falcom Classics II on Saturn, distributed by Nihon Falcom in December 1998, a first era Falcom anthology pairing Asteka II and Dragon Slayer II Xanadu Scenario II in a polished presentation. The Genteiban run is strictly limited with deluxe cardboard packaging and a bonus soundtrack CD, which clearly sets the variant apart from the standard version. Complete with intact obi, booklet and bonus CD identified as Genteiban particularly valued on the Falcom market.
Is Falcom Classics II still worth playing in 2026?
A compilation by Falcom and Victor gathering several Falcom classic RPGs remastered for Saturn, notably including Ys II and Sorcerian. The faithful preservation, graphical improvements and reworked soundtrack make it an excellent gateway to Falcom classics. Without official western translation, the title asks for Japanese notions but stays accessible. For anyone fond of historical Japanese RPGs or wishing to discover the Falcom roots on Saturn, a warm recommendation still valid today without any hesitation truly indeed here.
