need a new RPG

[guffman]

KOTOR is always a classic, Lost O is good and very epic: playing it with my roommate right now. Im going to go with persona; so new debate. 3 or 4?

[Jessweeee♪]

...wow... that is pretty intense, i think i am sold on it. Persona 3 it is. now just gotta find it for as cheap as possible. amazon is not so bad...

Go for the FES version

Yes, definitely! The FES version has the original game plus a bonus chapter, and Iunno, maybe some other features too; FES is the only game from this company I own xD

I love this game so much, I can't wait to try out Persona 4 n.n


EDIT:

Well I haven't played 4 yet, so I can't really help much, but the price for FES might be cheaper since it's been out longer.

[guffman]

dude i dont think so, its that whole they did not make enough factor. same thing with SHC and SH as opposed to 3. guff is so pricey. oh well might as well spend some cash to lose like 60 hrs of my life....

[Zeromus_X]

FES is still like 30 bucks.

I would play 3 before 4, since 4 has certain gameplay improvements that might make 3 seem tedious to play if you played it after 4.

Try a CRPG. I reccomend Baldur's Gate, Wizardry 8, maybe KOTOR or Mass Effect, those are RPG's, but they come from the West, and the first two might be a bitch to find.

If not, try a Grandia or Chrono game.

I think the only really good Grandia game was the first one. And the first half of the second. All the others just sucked.

If you're willing to wait a couple of months, Dragon Age: Origins looks like it's going to be an awesome game.

If you have a DS, I could give you several suggestions. My strongest one, however, would be Shiren the Wanderer. That's the game that really shifted my mindset towards RPGs in general.

Might sound a little abstract, but the key to getting 'good' at Shiren is not levelling up your player character, but levelling up *yourself* as the human player. If you can get over the 'start back at 1 when you die' thing, you're set for something pretty special.

Shin Megami Tensei games also get my vote. The World Ends With You on DS also has my 2nd favourite RPG combat system, behind the 360's Tales of Vesperia.

Branching out just a liiiiiitle bit more from the standard definition of 'RPG', Yakuza and Yakuza 2.

You ever heard of Snatcher?

Try Etrian Odyssey if your uber hardcore.

I have not started on P4 yet, I'm finishing up FES and getting ready to start The Answer. I have finished the original P3 and will add that P3 and P3:FES are quite different and both totally awesome. FES really improved the game more than most Special Editions do.

P4 also has a point where you get to visit a few places from P3 so you may want to play P3 first just so you can get the in-joke. I don't believe the games offer major connections to each other but can't say for sure. Also, don't worry, you don't need to have played Revelations: Persona ~ Be Your True Mind , Persona 2: Innocent Sin, or Persona 2: Eternal Punishment to understand Persona 3. You may catch a few more in-jokes but the stories don't really cross.

I also second The World Ends With You

F.O.E.! F.O.E.! F.O.E.!

Yeah, Etrian Odyssey's fun.

I'm surprised there haven't been any Disgaea suggestions yet (cba to read the whole thread, but I ran a Ctrl+F on both pages and got nothing). That series is a strategy RPG fan's wet dream. You can literally level up to 9999.

Also, if you're willing to play older games, try out EarthBound (aka Mother 2). Excellent, excellent game if you can get over the simple graphics and silly storyline (though that isn't a problem for some people).

[guffman]

oh dude i love earthbound!

Try Etrian Odyssey if your uber hardcore.

i do not know about this, enlighten me if you would?

I already mentioned Ar Tonelico.
