Odin Sphere is one of the best sidescrolling games I've ever played. It's absolutely worth checking out. I don't know a single person who has played it and not liked it.
I still haven't played Agarest either.
Hyperdimension is, just like Neo said, for a pretty narrow audience. I think you could possibly fall into that group, but it's hard to say for certain. It has fanservice, silly game references and some funny jokes. Not a game that should be played for its deep story or whatever, and the gameplay is alright but not great.
"Well, whatever. Just keep it down.
I'm going to play some Dark Souls
and I don't like being disturbed."
"Okay, don't panic now. Just calm down
and think. You know those wise old people
in fairy tales who always has a solution
to everything? If we had a wise and
reliable person like that by our side now,
what would that person tell us to do?"
"Wise and reliable? You mean like Gandalf?"
"Good call, Rydia! Gandalf from LotR.
If he was here with us, what would he
suggest we do in a situation like this?"
"......"
