I could only buy ONE RPG! What should it be?

[CrOnO_LiNk]

Ok, this Friday, I am gonna buy that "ONE" RPG.

I already own Kingdom Hearts, FFX, Golden Sun, and Tactics Ogre.

Those are the only RPG's I own for the new generation of consoles/portables.

So what should it be?

It has to be an RPG. I want an awesome story, very good gameplay, characters to be good, and music to sound decent.

So what RPG can I get this year that'll please me?

[BlueFire]

So I've heard from Crono, DM, and some of my friends, Suikoden III should be the game to get... I'm getting it for Christmas.


If you can't get that... Go for Legaia II: Duel Saga.

[Dyne]

Suikoden III.

Still need more people to say the same thing.

[Angrist]

Lost Kingdoms :sneaky:

I really don't know.

[DarkMaster]

like BF said, get Suikoden 3, if not get Legaia 2: Duel Saga

i highly recommend both though if you have the money

[Crono]

Suikoden III or Legaia 2 definitely. I'm getting L2 for Xmas, it sounds pretty sweet. And from what I've heard, Legend Of Legaia was good.

But right now I'd have to say Suikoden III.

[CrOnO_LiNk]

Guys, just pick ONE!

Don't say this OR that.

So would you guys take Suikoden III over Legaia 2?

[Bond]

Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance.

Or wait for Skies of Arcadia Legends.

[Dyne]

SUIKODEN III. Now. Go. Buy. Good times, man... seriously.

[Angrist]

YES!
:sneaky:

they are both good games, its hard to just pick one. go to the store, look at the box art, which ever one you think looks cooler, buy it. or you could rent them and see which one you like better. seriously, its hard to decide

[magus113]

SUIKODEN III can't stress that enough. Skies of Arcadia Legends is also good. Don't know too much about Legaia 2.

SUIKODEN III

[CrOnO_LiNk]

Well, I bought Suikoden III last Thursday (a week ago).

Guess why I haven't been posting too much lately? :)

Suikoden III is awesome...

Just one problem... I wish there was only one MAIN character. I wish it was Hugo....

I hate playing Chris' chapters.

Also, please don't spoil anything for me...I am loving the story. ;)

I actually find it better to have 3 different POVs..

Oh, and I EXTREMELY suggest you get all 108 stars. Check gamefaqs or IM me on AIM and I'll send you a list. You get an EXTREMELY nice reward after beating the game while having all 108 stars.

Oh and if you haven't palyed Geddoe's chapter 1 yet...pay attention to what Jacques says at Great Hollow.

I already beat Geddoe's chapter 1... Damn, I forgot what he says. Jacques is a cool character. He is more of a serious character like Geddoe. Anyways, what did he say in the Great Hollow?

He said:

"...footsteps."

somewhat of a spoiler for people who haven't played the game yet:









--------
When the knights attacked Great Hollow, Jacques commented on their footsteps.

Uhh... So basically, it's a hint for something that will occur later in the game's story...ok...

Man, I am loving this game. This game is awesome. I am happy I picked this game.

There are only 2 downsides in my opinion....

1. Magic: The chanting takes forever and when you get hit, you stop chanting. Also, most of the magic attacks suck.

2. Battling Music Like it or not, every RPG gamer loves a good solid battle theme. Take the Grandia and Final Fantasy series. The music makes you more into the game and its battles. Suikoden III has different battle themes and most of them are rather dull. But there is probably one good battle song...

1. That's what the "skills" option is for. By visiting magic tutors, you can raise magic rankings. Like say Geddoe's lightning magic is ranked at D, it will take slower for him to chant a lightning spell than if the rank was at B. There are 2 types fo tutors: magic and physical. You should always stop by them regularly to raise skills.

2. There is one boss theme that I really like, and the other one isn't so bad. But what I really like is the Alma Kinan theme.

how far are you crono_link? whos your fav character so far?

I finished Hugo's chapter 3, Chris' chapter 3, Thomas' chapter 2, and I am currently on Geddoe's chapter 3.

The only one I have left is Geddoe's chapter and I finaly get to see the Flame Champion... (Please don't spoil anything for me because this is a very important part in the game.)

I have been playing for 40 hours...

Please tell me I still have a while to beat the game... I played all day this week. This is one of my most loved games now. So this is another YES or NO question...

Am I very close to beating the game or do I still have some more things before I beat the game... I am not talking about secret unlockables...I am talking about beating the main game. I really, really hope the game is longer than 40 hours. Is it..? :confused:

[DarkMaster]

to do everything the game has to offer it'll take at least 120 hours. to beat the game normally without getting really any secrets, it'll at least take a good 50-60 hours. i can tell you how many chapters you have left if you want. but dont worry, you wont beat it anytime soon.

it gets harder and the story gets better and better, i played it til 1:30 am last night just to see wut happens next. you'll deffinitely want to get all the stars, and thats a nice amount of fun time right there. theres plenty to do, trust me.

also, i recommend playing the S1 and S2 games after you've beaten S3. the stories are awesome. i also recommend suikosource.com for all the info you could possibly want.
