Trying to go through my backlog lately. I am currently working on Devil Summoner Raidou Kuzunoha vs. The Soulless Army as well as Shin Megami Tensei 1. So from this list, which should I start next?
Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together
Star Ocean 1
Bravery Default
Deus Ex (first one)
Knights of the Old Republic
Mass Effect 3
Tales of Symphonia
Skies of Arcadia
Pandora's Tower
Digital Devil Saga 1 (plan to restart and finish this time)
Dragon Quest IX
Children of Mana
Seiken Denetsu 3
I've heard nothing but good things about Bravely Default, but I also haven't actually played Bravely Default, so I don't feel right recommending it. Knights of the Old Republic's battle system is kind of dated and not the most exciting, but is still fun, and while Mass Effect 3 has some story woes (and I don't mean the ending) the overall gameplay is still enjoyable. Be forewarned, if you enjoy the story elements more than the action in ME, 3 tends to be more action oriented.

Knights of the Old Republic
Dark Souls. I know it's not on the list but it is the true path.
Deus Ex.
If that's the remake of Star Ocean 1, which I'm assuming it is, and you are a fan of the series, I'd go with that one.
Otherwise, I'd throw my vote in for Bravely Default.
Tales of Symphonia because then I can ask you things when I play it :3:
I promised myself I wouldn't play Dark Souls until I finished Demon's Souls of which I screwed up a bit in the game (got rid of some great equipment on accident) and continue to debate whether I want to start the game completely over or just stick it out cause I've already gained too many levels and overcome too many headaches to start from scratch. I love the difficulty but a lack of free time to properly dedicate myself to it as well as the fact I still find it frustrating at times means my progress is rather slow.Quote:

WHOOPS just read that my title wasn't on the list. I would try Star Ocean because it's a game that I almost picked up!

Before I clicked on the thread, my instinctive response (for whatever reason) was Lufia 2.
But if you insist on one from the list, I guess SD3.
Yeah just play Lufia 2.
I've already played Lufia 2, several times in fact. Hell I convinced The White Wizard of Fynn to do a Let's Play about it.
The puzzles in Lufia 2 hurt my head. :(
Then again, I was freaking young back then when I played it. :bigsmile:
Play KOTOR. It's so good. Though it's been quite some time since I played..
Go for Mass Effect 3! The story isn't nearly as bad as everyone makes it out to be so after this long of hearing everyone whine about it you'll probably be pleasantly surprised. Also it's really fun to be a Vanguard and play opposite of how the game tells you to play. "Don't get too close to a Brute because they can kill you in one hit? Ok what if I do get close and use Charge to sort of ping pong back and forth between two of them that should be fine right?"
Tactics Ogre
It's quite good, but it's not as good as Deus Ex.Quote:
