Well generally I think games go in the General forum, but since this is Game Related, I'd figured it go here, if not I guess it can be moved.

Anyhow, I'm sure many of you are familar with this game, but the rules are simple, you go through the A-B-Cs starting wiht A, then b and so on. With each letter, you write a game related character, item or game title.
To make sure this doesn't contain a bunch of one world replies, you have to tell something about the item, character or game. A short 2 sentences maybe not too long winded, and maybe an image.

So the first person starts with A....

Suikoden. A very good RPG series by Konami. It's not very popular, but can easily stack up to the competition in terms of quality. There are currently 3 games in the series, 2 of them on PSX, the other on PS2. There are also Suikoden Card Stories and the Suikogaiden series in Japan which are like side stories but also give us more info on the Suikoden world. In Japan the series is actually called Genso Suikoden. Also in eacg of the 3 main games, you get have an army consisting of 108 characters. These characters are called the Stars Of Destiny. You'd notice my custom rank says "The Tenkan Star", that also means "The Star Of Idleness", and represents the character Luc (in my sig).

Breath Of Fire - an RPG originally developed by Squaresoft on the SNES, but was sold to Capcom. Since then the series has only been better, proving that Capcom can do more than just fighting and action games. Each game has characters named Ryu and Nina (although they are different in each game). Ryu is a descendant of the dragon race, and has powers to transform into dragons during battle. The third installment on PSX was one of my favourite games of all time.

Frog

quite possibly the greatest video game character of all time. He was a knight turned into a frog/human by Magus the sorcerer in Chrono Trigger.

Grandia

One of the most underrated RPG's ever. It was origionally the saturn counter to FFVII, but it eventually made it's way to the US on the PSX.

The ol' "defend the planet from invading alien forces" game. I personally enjoyed the game in some aspects because there was first-person tank warfare, turret warfare, airplane warfare, helicopter warfare, and even... alien spacecraft warfare! Woooh! Well, for each "vehicle", there were different controls that you had to adapt to. I'll probably never play it again though.
