Phantasy Star Cave Message Board

Ok, I've decided to buy a new game, and I want an RPG.<p>What should I buy? I've played Golden Sun a bit, so maybe that...<p>...or maybe not, my cousin has it.<p>Any tips, anything is welcome.

You might want to list the console(s) you want to buy it for first.

Oh yeah, sorry!!! (@) <p>I have NES, SNES, GBA, N64, PS, PS2, a PC, and Gamecube. We're not quite a poor family.

Well which RPGs do you have, and what are you looking for in the one you will buy?

I have stuff like Castlevania, Final Fantasy 1-9, Paper Mario, Chrono Trigger/Cross, lots of that kind. And I have the PS games on emulators.

You said FF 1-9. How about Final Fantasy 10? I'm playing it right now. It's a great rpg after the first two hours (I'll admit, the first two hours are more like watching a movie). Then it turns into a really great and addicting game with lots of character development. You really should check it out.

Skies of Arcadia!<p>Buy it... the GC one with Piastol

It's got to be Skies!<p>Piastol is so cool! (buy GC Skies...)

Well, I think the Dreamcast version is better, but you don't have a Dreamcast... Shame on you!<p>GBA:<br>-Shining Force (the remake)<p>GameCube:<br>-Skies of Arcadia Legends<br>-Tales of Symphonia<br>-Mega Man X Command Mission (this one's more for the battle system than the story)

If you like turn-based strategy RPG games like Shining Force, then I recommend that you get Fire Emblem for the GBA. Trust me, the game's class.<p>

I concur with PeaGuy. Shining Force is an awesome RPG. Also, the Breath of Fire series is a very solid, good RPG series. I found few flaws in playing those RPGs, and they're good for replay. I will have to recommend however that you DON'T buy FFX or any other ff game that has been made after the year 2001 (I'd say 2000 but you already have FF9).

Oh yeah, forgot Fire Emblem, indeed. I was figuring there were more games I could recommend...<p>The GBA Breath of Fire games are straight ports of the SNES originals. Might as well buy the originals...
