You should get the Golden Sun games for the GBA. They're such awesome RPGs for you!

Golden sun! :)
My brother has all three Golden Sun games, but I've never been able to get into them. I played the first one nearly all the way through, but my characters were dangerously underpowered since I was missing a bunch of Djinn.

Go for persona or a Tale game
Well, the first Persona is on the list, but I haven't really been able to get into it and the only "Tales of" game I have is Tales of Phantasia for GBA. I don't really feel like playing a GBA game since the GBA Sp is my go to device to play them, and it doesn't have a headphones slot.

So, I've been really depressed lately and figured I should try something to take my mind off of everything. I thought an RPG might do the trick. I listed off 8 of them in a poll. The first two I've never played, the next three I've started, but had difficulty getting into, and the last three I've beat before, but they're favorites and I figured I could give them another go.

A quick disclaimer on KotOR, my laptop would be the device I'd play it on, and I'm not sure if the touchpad thing is appropriate to play such a game. Also, I have KotOR II that I can play afterwords which I've never played before.
o.0

good list dood

i have a lot of love for Valkyrie Profile, so start with that i guess
but really not gonna go wrong with any you pick

KOTOR. The touchpad shouldn't be too much of an issue.
yeah the touchpad will be a non issue mostly, the combat makes it so it goes at your pace.

Yeah, the list is based off of games I've been playing, want to play, and favorites. I've been wanting to try out the Valkyrie Profile series and have all three games (That includes the DS spin-off and the PSP port of the first), I just haven't got around to it. Seems that I have absolutely nothing to do with myself right now, so might as well take a crap at the backlog.

If it makes things better, I've only had KotOR II for a few months. And, I got the PC version of the first game only a month or so ago.

you sir, have excellent taste in RPGs

if you can getta hold of em, Lufia 2 (NOT the DS remake, the SNES version, the remake sucks) and the PS1 Lunar remakes, as well as Break of Fire 1-4, (1 an 2 have been ported to the GBA and 3 is on the PSP as PAL import so shouldn't have an issue there)

I've heard the Lufia remake is pretty good, just different, but I haven't played either so I wouldn't know. There aren't any Lunar or Breath of Fire games in my collection either. I'm always on the lookout for stuff like that, though, so if I see them and have some extra cash, I might pick them up.

i will admit taris (the first planet) is a bit of a ***** to get through, it's basically the worst part of the whole game (hell there are mods dedicated to allowing you to skip taris and get all the xp/goodies/decisions) so that isn't a super surprise there.

once you kick off from that first planet though it really gets rolling and you have clear choices on what to do/where to go

Well, Super Mario RPG has no exceedingly sad parts. I would say Chrono Trigger, but...parts of it are sad :( So, my vote is SMRPG.

Yeah, I second that.

The World Ends With You is Freakin amazing, but...if you want to cure depression, go with Mario RPG. It's cute, funny, and really fun. Go for it.

..But go play TWEWY later!

All of them are truly excellent, but for me, KOTOR takes the cake. Its worth playing just to play the second one which is one of the best games of all time IMO.
Excepting all the obvious obsidian flaws (bugs and shit ending).

hah yeah, i mean don't take my 100% word for it, i don't want to be burned at the stake later for that last statement there, but it does get alot better once you leave taris (pro tip: don't level up on taris, let your party do the work once you get your party members and save your experience for the right moment after taris (don't want to ruin much, but you'll know what i mean when it happens)) and head out, it's a bit linear at first but it mostly is just them setting up the story for the rest of the game and then you are off to do what ever you want to your hearts content.
