Poll: Which RPG should I play?

[chaosyoshimage]

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.

Super Mario RPG is the only one on the list guaranteed to cure depression. So it gets my vote.

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!

Just so both of you know, I have played Chrono Trigger and The World Ends With You, they're favorites, so I know I'll love them if I play them again.

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

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.

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.

yeah ... they when up in price >.> *is glad he has both still*

Sometimes I get lucky finds in pawn shops, garage sales, flea markets, etc. I go to them with my mom quite often. But, yeah, pretty much any classic PS1 or SNES RPG will set you back quite a bit. Earthbound eludes me so...

I'd go with Kotor, but touchpad might be a problem. Not a big problem since you can (and are encouraged to) pause the game every time you issue commands, though. Easy solution would be to buy a shit mouse whenever you get 10 bucks.

From your list, I assume you're a bigger JRPG fan than I am, so if Kotor's touchpad controls are bad, I'd go with Valkyrie Profile. That's the first game I buy when I get a new PSP. The original PSOne game was great.

Edit: On second thought, Valkyrie Profile might not be the best choice if you're feeling depressed; it's a very melancholic game. I haven't played any other games on your list, but I've been meaning to pick up TWEWY for ages. I hear it's really good.

and i thought ff7 copies were expensive...

that is insaneee, is the game really that worth it?

 

[Austin Howe]

TWEWY, hands down.

 

[RipperSU]

Out of the list I'd go for Knights of the Old Republic. I played it recently using a laptop trackpad and it didn't affect gameplay at all. However, this may be because I like to autopause when going into a fight to issue commands.

 

[Lucane]

Super Mario RPG is the only one on the list guaranteed to cure depression. So it gets my vote.

Plus it's so wildly different of any other Mario game it's unreal how well put together it is as a RPG and as a Mario title with so many one time use(never before seen or since reused in any other Nintendo products) characters you'll not see many things coming without a strategy guide.

Waahhhh! holy crap that's expensive! Why?!

1) because they are a ***** to find, at all
2) they weren't 'big releases' so there's just less of them
3) the people that DO have them *waves and smiles* aren't giving them up for anything

these all drive up the price, worth it >.> only if your a collector, but they're both very good games that deserve they're status

>.> as to WHY in the name of the Princess Luna FF7 gose for that much i have no fucking idea, there was a billion of those and a greatest hits release -.- shouldn't cost that much, its defenently not worth it

>.> Parasite Eve on the other hand .....

 

[gmaverick019_v1legacy]

snip.

i suppose that is all true,

although with the psn digital release of those ff games the price was driven wayyyyy down


a year or so before they did that,i found a perfect copy of ff7 (original case and manual) at my local game shop, got that shit for 12 bucks, i was super proud at the time.

I'll find it some day, or perhaps it's me white whale, argh. Or maybe Nintendo will re-release it in English somewhere...

 

[Rhys Wilson]

I honestly don't know how to answer that poll, since if I were given the choice, I would have selected over half of the games... but, if I am to be serious about this, I would say go for one of the 2 classics: Super Mario RPG or Chrono Trigger. I don't care how old I get, the story from those two alone will never get old in my book.

 

[ArchAngelKira]

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.

No not the GBA one that wasn't the best tales game. Try symphonia, abyss, or even vesperia the console titles have more to contribute

 

[Stew Coard]

Your depressed? Well why not Fallout 3? Hey, I think we all know what an uplifting game that is

 

[chaosyoshimage]

Anywho, thanks for everybody's opinions, I picked Knights of the Old Republic (Re-play, then I'll play the sequel) and The World Ends With You (Re-playing to get all the Reports, kind of stuck on a hard fight already, though). All the mentions of Super Mario RPG brought it higher up on my priorities to play though, once I get through these and my 25th Anniversary Zelda playthrough (Only beat A Link to the Past and Ocarina of Time so far, I have to re-play the rest still before Skyward Sword comes out) I'll play it.

i luv final fantasy tactics but kotor is a bit better
