Ok, so Kee kindly handed over his PSX to me...And becuase there isnt any xbox RPGs that interest me, i must get back into my PSone roots!!! Ok, so there are a couple of RPGs that i heard were pretty damn nice, now, which of of these titles excel at:
-gameplay (repetitiveness? hopefully not) <_<
-graphics (im not really into sprites, but i can manage) -_-
-storyline (linear storylines are no fun) :o
-romance (im a sucker for mindless luv) ;)

Ok, so the titles are:
-the legend of Dragoon (shana is too hott) ^_^
-StarOcean: The Second Story (seems "whimiscal") :)
-FFVIII (...mixed reviews) <_<
-FFVIX (Thoose elve/smurfs look cool) :mellow:

Ok, so you can go ahead and suggest some others...but please, no:
-other Final Fantasys -_-
-Megaman :angry:
-Chronos whatever :huh:

:blink: Ok, so...im not into random card games inplemented in the game either :blink:

- Wait, if 1 is "I", and 2 is "II", 4 is "IV", 5 is "V" and 10 is "X"... then 9 has to be "IX"... right? .................did you just call me a girl, stee?! :blink: -

Eh, I've heard good things about FFIX (that's part 9... 9 is not VIX... is it?)... ask Kilik about it. I know it's one of his favorites.

If I recall, FFVIII wasn't all that great. I'd say VII and IX were better...

How 'bout MegaMan Legends? Oh right... you said no MegaMan games.... erm, how about Tomba, then? That was an awesome game. Bah, I don't know if you'd agree...

What about "Hop on Pop"? That was a GREAT story, lmao...

Eh, but seriously... I'd take Zohar's advice here... he seems to know what he's talking about when it comes to RPGs. (Hopefully "this" time around, our clan members will experience Zohar's full potential, and not overshadow it with consant brawling and verbal assaults that arise from both parties. o_o; Hmmm, we'll see...) I have a feeling he's got his eyes on this game as it... I mean, it's in his avatar, apparently. :mellow:

Yeah, if you want the novelization site or you just want more information then go to...
-RPGFan.com
-www.zenosaga.com
-www.xgam.org/xenogears/novelization

Xenosaga is the actual series, made by the Gears Development Team (now called Monolith Soft), for PS2. Xenogears is the fifth episode, according to the Xeno "Bible" (Xenogears Perfect Works). Xenosaga I is available for PS2 and 2 is coming in Feburary.

Yeah the storyline truely is deep, I am still reading the novelization, its pretty good. I don't understand a part of the novelization, but its senseless putting it on here, i'll just ask zohar :) . Xenosaga is the only game I temporarily played so I don't know much about the other PS RPG's.

98% of the internet population has a Myspace. If you're part of the 2% that isn't an emo bastard, copy and paste this into your sig.

Yah, for those who have not read my long Xenogears review...Scott has started reading the novelization link I have provided twice now lol.
Btw, Pinkerton, now that I think back, Xenogears had sprite character graphics ROFL.
Okay...well the other good PSX RPGs...there are many...
Do not exclude the FFs. You have FFIX in your hands which is one of the decent ones, but FFVIII and FFX-2 are the very worst SquareEnix RPGs made so far. FFVII is by far the best one, FFIX coming in a not-so-close 2nd. This is mostly because of some unoriginal plot developments in FFIX and a villian that is too enigmatic just because of a lack of information. The villians are not done too well.
Besides those complaints FFIX is good. FFVII is my 3rd favorite game, losing to MGS3 and Xenogears but pretty damn close to MGS3. FFVII is great for its story is extremely original. This is the game that started the novel-deep RPG. The plot is very twisted and involved, and all of the characters with few exceptions are entertaining to say the least. I never liked Aeris though...
*******SPOILER*********

Im happy she died...after disk 1...

******End of Spoiler******

There are many other solid RPGs out there for PSone. You can try Star Ocean 1/2, haven't played 'em but they are liked. I know you already have 2 but also try 1. Let's see...Arc the Lad games are supposedly good...Chrono is heard to be good also, but you seem to have no interest (me neither lol). Persona, Vagrant Story, Parasite Eve, Wild ARMs games...Suikoden games are always great...Brave Fencer Musashi is kinda immature but humorous and filled with action. Front Mission games are good I've heard as well. Basically go with the Square RPGs, even though they ripped off poor Kojima and they are obviously only in it for the money...Some other RPGs are okay but the other developers can tend to be amateurs. Well, I've said my piece. :lol:

If text on FFVIII will drive you insane, Xenogears will too...tons of text. The difference is the Xenogears story is much more interesting and involved to me. I do not have fond memories of FFVIII for the most part actually, not that its bad, it just failed to impress. The main flaw is side character developments (near nonexistant). You learn much about your main character and the main plot-driving characters, but characters such as Zell and Quistis have so much potential but no time in the limelight. The graphics always appear blurry and fuzzy also...o.o
