IX and III are the only two I haven't played (XI doesn't count).  My friend told me it was underrated, I think it was one of his favorite Final Fantasy games.  I'll have to borrow it over break.

At the moment, I'm playing an amazing roguelike dungeon crawler called Izuna: Legend Of The Unemployed Ninja.  Hard as f**k?  Unforgiving?  Yes, and that's what I love about it Big%20smile

Can't wait for Etrian Odyssey, coming in a couple of months...  tried my hand at the Japanese version, but I couldn't make heads or tails of it.



Any of you guys do the import thing though?  For the DS, I've recently played (Japan-only as of now):

Ouendan
Picross DS
Panel de Pon
Final Fantasy XII: Revanent Wings

Good stuff Big%20smile  Ouendan 2 hits on the 17th, and I've got my preorder Wink

I still haven't got it, but I am so lookin forward to it :)
I have all the Final Fantasy games from VI to X-2 (although X-2 was a bit crap).
IX is my definite favourite - the storyline is just so wonderful.

XII is really good, it takes a little bit of time to get into the game (and the new battle system) but it gets good fast.  The only problem I have is that you have to train a lot (grinding, my brother called it) since the enemies can get difficult fast.

I love "grinding".I had myself levelled up a lot higher than usual in Dragon Quest VIII because of all the grinding I did in that game.It makes dungeon crawling and boss battles so much easier.

Yep, they're to be played right after Link to the PastSmile

I borrowed both of them from my friend about 3 years ago... I don't think he'll ever be getting them back

Well, when i first bought it I played like there was nothing lefdt in the world to do. Logged in about 90 hrs, and I'd say--including both expansions, I've managed to scrape together a good 80% of the game. Perhaps a bit more.

You want a big game--check out Elder Scrolls II: Morrowind which, in my opinion, which superior to Oblivion.

Oblivion was dumbed down for a mass audience, whereas Morrowind was a bit more of a hardcore RPG...and much longer.

Only thing is, Oblivion has better mechanics--for it came later why wouldn't it?. But everythign else, from story, to just the otherworldly feel of Morrowind--I find it superior (but that's perhaps because I logged at least 1000 hours into that game no joke....)

Another extremely fun game (despite my reluctance to admit it) is World of Warcraft. Anyone here play??
I'm a reasonable man, get off my case

I love the Shining series... I still have good memories of paying one of my friends 1.25 to draw a detailed map as I played Darkness

I'm currently tearing through Final Fantasy 3 (in the US) also known as Final Fantasy VI (I think), which is the best FF hands down, and one of my top 3 RPGs of all time

the one with the gun blade? never heard it called Final Fantacy 3 but ok.
I didn't really like that one, the story wasn't as good as some others and the levling-up system thing was to complicated.

Uhhh no, that was VIII with the gunblade, VI was on SNES and had Sabin, Mog the Moogle, Terra, Edgar, Cyan, Shadow etc... as main chars.
