Post off topic somewhat Never understood why a lot of used single release shoot em ups cost so much money a piece, I got a ton of them for every console and PC. and most of them are on compilations, or I purchased them all at once on one CD or cartridge. I gotten so many of them I don't know which one to beat first, I find them frustrating. RPG's attract casual most gamers, I never found them especially turn based ones to be exciting , in turn based tactical RPG's I've played I think they are boring, I would much rather play something like Zelda in which I think would consider that more of a hack and slash RPG. If you guys like RPG's most of the console versions of The Sims People Simulator games are somewhat like RPG's a little bit. I love Pokémon games but that's about the only TB-RPG I like I am a causal gamer, myself, but for some reason I never got into any turn based RPG's I played Phantasy Star 2 and it was fun. until the first battle I was hoping for something like Pokémon but I got a turn based strategy game instead, I didn't know what to do so because the game gave no instructions and I lost all my team on the first battle and got a game over. Pokémon is a fun turn based RPG and it's easy for me to pick up and play but at least you don't need to start the game over again if you lose, a battle unlike most of the other TB-RPGS I've played |

Retro game prices have risen with each generation that enjoyed them between the ages of 5 and 16 getting to that period in life where they have a career and disposable income without major responsibilities like kids, mortgages, marriage, and all that stuff. With that said, Gen 5 stuff was the most recent console gen to see an explosion in popularity and price, with gen 6 starting to get hit as well. I think gen 5 will continue to rise a little, whle gen 6 stuff, particularly Gamecube and PS2 will continue to go way, way up. I think Gen 3 (NES, Master System), and Gen 4 (SNES, Genesis) will continue to decline overall over the next few years since those consoles saw their prime collecting days 4 or 5 years ago. I'm really curious to see what happens once people that were in that age bracket who grew up with consoles like the Wii and 360, come of age more. This has already happened and I feel like I've seen a very mild interest in Wii collecting over the last year, but winder if it'll really take off in the same way it did for all previous Nintendo gens. I almost think Gen 7 might be the last console gen anyone gives a crap about collecting for since things really changed during and after that gen. I guess we'll see. But in short, here are my 2021 predictions: 1. Gen 5 will go up slightly, Gen 6 will go up a lot 2. Gen 3 and Gen 4 will go down slightly 3. Wii prices will go up very slightly, but the PS3 and 360 will likely decline some more over the next few years until people get sentimental about them. |

Other than those, I think Final Fantasy: Mystic Quest can safely be called a "casual" RPG. |

I've never really been into FF, though, so I'll take your word on that one. |
