one of my most favorite rpgs that don't seem to be mentioned that often are wild arms 1 and 2. I love them both, 3 was ok i guess, but after that the series spiraled downward
my favorite though has to be a tie between FF7 and FF8 oh and also i loved Suikoden, it was one of the first rpgs i've ever played, i actually owned the game when it came out, but i never actually played 2 XD but from what I hear it was just as good if not better |

Another game that never gets much of a mention is Alundra. Very similar to the old Zelda games and pretty fun to go through.
Terranigma was good as well. How does Dragon Quest VII compare to Dragon Quest VIII? I thought that 8 lost it's way after a while and I wasn't fond of the characters nor the endless hunt for Metal Slimes just to level up at a decent rate in the later stages. Dhoulmagus was a crap boss as well Last edited by Ringo~Bingo : 2009.08.16 at 07:59 PM. |

I knew I finally developed a tolerance to casual sexism in Japanese pop culture when I played Dragon Quest 7 and I wasn't surprised when female characters used a serving tray as a shield through most of the game.
Suikoden 2 is waaaay better. Suikoden 1 is a solid RPG but Suikoden 2 is a masterpiece in my opinion. I've just finished playing Suikoden 5 and it's on the same level as Suikoden 2... awesome game. |

I keep hearing good stuff about Suikoden. But I'll never play any of them, because I can not stand having so many characters available.
It's bad enough If I have to choose 3 or 4 of 6 or 8, but Suikoden is just too much for me. Recruiting characters is my worst nightmare. So no Suikoden for me.

FF Tactics was like that as well, constantly getting new members in your party and never having a connection with any of them. You feel less inclination to play when it's set up like that I find. I prefer a core party of no more than 8 or so and just stick with that through the whole game.
And even that can be too many! |

Well with Suikoden it felt more like an army. And, while you didn't have a real connection with most of them, they all had their unique personalities, and reasons for joining you.
Also most of them were absolutely useless in combat and would never be used anyways. XD |

It's fun seeing your derelict base of operation slowly growing into a busy town. Some people might find all that distracting and tedious, though. I guess it just depends on what type of gamer you are. |
