Digital Devil Saga is probably one of the best RPGs of this year. I have both games, but I haven't yet finished the first part :P I have a problem finishing RPGs...

But yeah, I do like this a lot more than Nocturne (or Lucifer's Call). Not having to deal with recruiting monsters makes some things a little easier to manage. It has an interesting spin on the otherwise tired turn-based combat, the story is very interesting and the voice acting is actually quite well done. I'd reccommend this game to anyone who likes RPGs and/or Mature games.
