If you liked Earthbound, there's a fan translation of Mother 3 coming out in a bit

http://mother3.fobby.net/

I personally loved Earthbound. Was so hooked to that game back in grade school.

Tales of Phantasia - pretty interesting, especially if you get the one that was translated funny
FF6 - best Final Fantasy made
Front Mission - similar to Final Fantasy Tactics. Story is pretty weak but the battles are so much fun.
Secret of Mana - all around fun game. More fun with a friend I think
Secret of Evermore - hilarious dialogue, real time RPG (not turn based)
Illusion of Gaia - fun game but can get frustrating when you can't figure something out
Ogre Battle - I love the idea of deploying units and loosely controlling them.
Xenogears - fun to do combinations in battle and has a good story
Earthbound - pretty goofy story but overall a classic
Chrono Trigger/Chrono Cross - both classics of course
Lufia I/II - get a bit old after a while but fun to play around with

I'm definitely a person who gets about halfway into a game and gets bored once it hits a certain spot. For example, once FF6 goes all apocalypse I usually quit. I tend to re-play the beginning of games in cycles. But for all the ones I've never finished, I'd like to soon.

If you have a PSP, there's a nice RPG I am playing currently which is named Tales of Eternia.


I bought this on ebay for my psp. It didn't came out in America so I had to import the european version. Fortunately it works with us psp

Such nostalgy, I remember playing this game 2-3 times on my ps1 (was Tales of Destiny 2 on the ps1)

Once I'm done with Valkyrie Profile:Lenneth and Final Fantasy Tactics I'll surely import Breath of Fire 3 too, I know europeans have a psp version and not us

Oh yea, if I get games like Arc The Lad 2, Breath of Fire 3 and Star Ocean 2 etc, does it matter that I haven't played the first ones?

I haven't played it personally, but a quick search tells me Arc The Lad 2 is a direct continuation of the original. Breath of Fire is in the same universe as the first two (and arguably the 4th), but there is little connection between the games. There's always a main character called Ryu (not related) with dragon powers, a female lead called Nina usually from a place called Windia (they're not the same place/people between iterations), and in the first 4 there's a minor recurring character called Deis (Bleu). In BoF3 they make an offhand reference to the first game at one point, that's all. Star Ocean 2's main male protagonist is the son of a playable character in the first Star Ocean. You see said playable character (father) in Star Ocean 2 in a minor plot role, but everything else is entirely unrelated other than the universe, which is something of a Star Trek homage.

So it really depends on the series and the game.

Arc the Lad 1 is a pretty short game (especially when compared to Arc the Lad 2) and the plot for the sequel picks up directly after it so I would say that it is worth the time to play it first. I almost think of Arc 1 as just being like a prologue for Arc 2. If you don't want to play Arc 1 first though I would still recommend playing Arc 2 simply because it is such a great game. I wish that they would make more games like it, the freedom to choose what quest to do and when is pretty rare in a jrpg.
It's easier not to.
