I gave up on that system early in it's life. I remember playing FF X and absolutely HATING it. I grew up on old school RPGs and when they changed the leveling system and made everything linear, I gtfo quick.

I gave up on RPGs for quite awhile. Also, I was not a fan of the beginning of the 3D era at all.

Forget FFX because it sucked, but did you every play Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne, Persona 3 FES, or Persona 4? Persona 4 is my third favorite RPG of all time after Final Fantasy VI and Chrono Trigger.

I've heard good things about Persona. Haven't heard of SMT:N. I have a *ahem* way of playing these on the thing that I am typing on right now that upscales these games to 1080p. Should I give Persona a run? Do you think it aged well?

Definitely play Persona 3 FES (the enhanced re-release) and Persona 4, in that order.

P3FES has a darker atmosphere with a slightly less refined game/battle system (but not bad at all, just play it first). Also, it's going to be HARD when you first start playing it. The game punishes you strongly for errors, but once you come up with a good battle strategy you'll blow through a boss that you thought impossible during the first fight.

Persona 4 has a greatly improved battle system, but doesn't seem as "dark" on the surface, because it's coated with a saccharine Japanese pop culture sheen, but don't let that turn you off. It's every bit as dark as P3FES when you get down to it, but it's also a little more tongue-in-cheek.

Atlus is truly the RPG powerhouse that Square used to be in their heyday. Their games are amazing, and some of the best hundreds of hours you'll ever spend gaming. :)

P3 FES "undub" version inbound. Thx.

No prob. Also, to be honest, Atlus does some of the best localizations in gaming, so you're good with undub or even the English. I tried both, and ended up just playing in English, even though I prefer Japanese with subs in most instances. One last thing for P3FES, make sure you play The Journey before The Answer. At any rate, enjoy!

lol. I remember as a kid, in a room with my 3 cousins, playing this game for like 2 days straight. The whole 2 days revolved around us taking turns trying to figure out what to do and getting almost nowhere. I think I said " WTF?" more times in those 2 days than I have until now at age 34.
