This is going to be one of those moments, I am sure:

Oh well. I’m really terrible at this.
But listen, you’re confusing me. First you said:
then you say:
I don’t understand. Is it or is it not popular? Initially I was gonna guess Rogue Legacy, but you said it was kind of obscure… I also thought about Tangledeep but idk neither have the whole “The prince of a foreign country is your “enemy”, and he has a boat” thing, which only Kaeru no Tame ni Kane wa Naru had as far as I’m concerned…

I shall now elaborate, I always thought its rarity made it popular a bit. I googled it before and there is a surprising amount of playthroughs and long plays of this game, way more than I thought to be honest, so maybe it’s not obscure? it just cost me a lot of money to find it, but that could be because I live here, in England, PAL region locked things tend to jump up in price because of lack of production normally.
example: symphony of the night japanese version on PS1: 5-10 pounds.
symphony of the night PAL version: 500 - 1000 pounds.
(seriously LOOK AT THIS)

Since you’re spending a lot of money on a PAL version of this game it’s undoubtedly a console title of some sort. There really are not that many roguelikes that were ever released on consoles, much less exclusively so. But I don’t really know that much about vintage console titles, so don’t look to me for the answer this time.
Though you initially claimed it was a JRPG then switched to roguelike I don’t see how you could confuse the two so I feel compelled to ask if you are in fact certain your description is wholly correct now?

You big show off! Making us all jealous!
By the way, I love the ambiguous dates like the one you wrote, cuz here we read typically month/date/year. But since it’s not August yet, I realized that it’s date/month/year. But if I come back and look at this picture say 2 years from now, I would automatically read August 4th, all over again…

There are actually a couple more rare PS1 gems in the showing off pile!

This.
And that’s really cool, @xist! (:
I don’t have many cool or rare things, overall. Although I’m really fond of my “Treasures of Infocom” box, even if it’s not worth much, money-wise.

Yes it is correct, I thought it was made in Japan but it was not. And the wiki page states it as a roguelike, thats where I got my info from, I spent ages trying to get it right, I based the original description on my time playing it as opposed to colloquial labels.
also Xist I am extremely jealous. >.>
well the intent is for someone to get it, this game was published by ubisoft (sorry) so I thought it might have been in someone’s catalogue, I don’t really wanna hold the game up.

I am so good at this guessing game that despite staring at a “games published by Ubisoft” list for the past 10 minutes I still have no idea which game you’re talking about.
So I’ll just wait until someone less stupid comes along and solves this one okay thanks bye.

You’re not stupid for not knowing it, I’m stupid for posting it 
at least you all might learn a new game to go find…
Also I’ve just been looking through, for some reason the sequel is on that list of Ubisoft publishments but not the first, yet the Wiki page for the first game states clearly the publisher was Ubisoft.

Is it The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn?
I’m kidding
Yeah ok I finally give up. This list is far too long to read through.

Upside is that I found out about a couple of nice games:
L’Anneau de Zengara (1987) and Anvil of Dawn!
Both seem seriously interesting. Has anyone played either of them?
Also, I considered several games as the answer to your riddle, kyle, but they were each missing something. And at the end if the day I’m a PC gamer so I’ve got no idea of what Grandia is about, for example.
But thanks for the riddle anyways

I feel terrible about doing this, I was gonna do bluestinger but I’ve posted videos to it here and shown my love for it before, I’m sure that would have been too easy, but too easy is better than no one plays old consoles and can’t get it at all ever, I didn’t want that, so anyway it was a game called “Evolution: The world of the sacred device” Evolution: The World of Sacred Device - Wikipedia
so now someone else can have a go, anyone, anything, I’m a terrible player of games like this… I either described it badly… or picked a game too obscure… or both… either way it’s on me not on any of you, I’m sorry to everyone playing.

Platform(s) Dreamcast
I was never ever ever gonna get this right hahaha
Oh well, c’est la vie.
And don’t be so hard on yourself. It’s not that easy to riddle people into guessing things and we’re all here in good fun. I don’t think you described it badly, I just think the only people who’d be able to guess it are the ones who effectively played it.
Trust me, it’s not something one can find in an internet search hahaha

well thats what I was trying to prevent, I heard of this game browsing games I didn’t have on Dreamcast, which isn’t a big list, and that was there, got it for 20 pounds on eBay. The game that was similarly styled was Digimon world 2.
I still think I didn’t do the description right regardless, I should have put more clues in.

I’d definitely call that a JRPG from a cursory glance, can’t figure out by what measure it would be considered a roguelike, but I’d have to spend more time watching it than I’d care to to find out. : )
It seems like maybe if you had played it you might have been able to figure it out with the provided clues. But having never even heard of it before it wasn’t going to happen.

You have to make it through several floors to complete dungeons, in increasing amounts. the last level you gotta do like 50 floors without a real save, you can soft save before exiting the game but it deletes itself when you load it, the only real save point rooms are before the boss room, where you can choose to fight the boss or go back and get more upgrades with your loot. It’s really a great game anyone with a dreamcast should look it up, the only problem was there isn’t much in the form of a malleable story to turn into a description.

You’re way too hard on yourself. Of course you’re not stupid for posting it, we’re just having fun. Care to go again?

okay then… A lot of my riddles are likely to be exclusives, I played mostly console growing up, and most of those games are gone.
5 members of a special tactics and rescue service drop down in front of the manor to rescue Bravo squad who was sent to the mountains before them, on reports of people being attacked by groups of ten people or more! as soon as they land a man gets taken down, eaten by dogs, on the staggering run to the mansions doors another gets separated, assumed dead, The pilot has scurried away after seeing dogs rip apart his friend, though he appears later with some heavy artillery, after going through an exorbitant amount of puzzles left all over the place, though at least I know how to play moonlight sonata now.
