It seems to me that it would actually be a pretty good first rpg. But that's not my word. Some reviews have siad it would.

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #4 on:** August 14, 2007, 11:00:15 AM »

I dunno, Persona does things pretty weird in spots, id probably recommend something else as a 'first rpg'

Himu · « **Reply #5 on:** August 14, 2007, 11:01:36 AM »

I agree. I'd suggest something more traditional.

bud · « **Reply #6 on:** August 14, 2007, 11:01:45 AM »

is it necessary to ahve played the previous persona games?

I dunno. These days, I can't really suggest anything that would would make a good first rpg since most of the rpgs I play. I'd suggest renting P3 first, to see if you like it.

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #11 on:** August 14, 2007, 11:06:29 AM »

Skies of Arcadia would be an excellent 'first RPG'. Too bad its on dead consoles lol.

RIP Dreamcast. LOL Gamecube. I OWN A GAMECUBE IM NOT FANBOY!

Himu · « **Reply #12 on:** August 14, 2007, 11:09:37 AM »

Haha MAF.

Yeah Bud, Skies would be a great first rpg. Do you have a Dreamcast or GC?

Beezy · « **Reply #13 on:** August 14, 2007, 11:17:41 AM »

I preordered this game mainly because of you Himuro. It better not suck.

Himu · « **Reply #14 on:** August 14, 2007, 11:19:11 AM »

Hahaha. I am positive you won't be disappointed. I've never been disappointed this series at all this gen. Even its weakest game was still enjoyable.

Himu · « **Reply #16 on:** August 14, 2007, 11:21:05 AM »

Yeah, it would be. I still say at least rent P3 to see if you like it, because unlike DQ, P3 will be rare soon.

ananus · « **Reply #19 on:** August 14, 2007, 12:07:08 PM »

bud, dragon quest 8 is shit, don't waste your time/money with it. try chrono trigger if you don't mind old games. if you want something current gen try tales of the abyss.

bud · « **Reply #20 on:** August 14, 2007, 12:19:26 PM »

then how about ffvii? i don't mind the graphics and i did like it back then.

Himu · « **Reply #21 on:** August 14, 2007, 12:20:00 PM »

Chrono Trigger.

ananus · « **Reply #22 on:** August 14, 2007, 12:29:15 PM »

you could always give chrono trigger a try either way. you can dl it pretty much anywhere and the file is pretty small. it does take a while for it to pick up, since it takes a while for you to travel between times at will, so you may not like it at first.

imo ffvii starts out better, but as the game progresses it only gets worse.

tales of the abyss is pretty awesome, better than ct and ffvii.

bud · « **Reply #23 on:** August 14, 2007, 12:32:28 PM »

which ps2 rpg's would you guys recommend?

hyp · « **Reply #24 on:** August 14, 2007, 12:41:14 PM »

so close, yet so far. i really hope amazon ships it in less than 3 days.

ananus · « **Reply #27 on:** August 14, 2007, 12:53:48 PM »

tales of the abyss is a ps2 rpg, it's noob friendly and it's awesome, best ps2 rpg. you should give it a try. the only other noob friendly ps2 rpgs i can think of are ffx and kingdom hearts. i recommend tota over both of them, and kingdom hearts over ffx.

Cosigned. a 1000 times. Playing DQ8 is as exciting as watching ice melt. I don't know how DQ8 could get such high scores and Blue Dragon could get such mediocre scores when BD is just like DQ8 with a slightly better story and much better graphics.

Agree with you also that SOA is good stuff even though the graphics are outdated now. I wish they would do a PSP remade or something. Remades of games like SOA actually make sense since many people haven't tried it.

Error2k4 · « **Reply #29 on:** August 14, 2007, 01:03:47 PM »

Smooth Groove: remaking or making another Skies, makes too much sense for SEGA so it wont happen.

Van Cruncheon · « **Reply #30 on:** August 14, 2007, 01:07:51 PM »

nostalgia still makes reviewers do stupid things. see: dq8, metroid prime, any recent final fantasy title.

Error2k4 · « **Reply #31 on:** August 14, 2007, 01:09:20 PM »

I cant believe a lot of people shat on DQ7 and then praised DQ8. when DQ8 like a stepback in everything except graphics of course.

DQ7 <3

Van Cruncheon · « **Reply #32 on:** August 14, 2007, 01:20:46 PM »

DQ7 is awesome; awesome is DQ7. although MAN those FMVs were 'orrible

Error2k4 · « **Reply #33 on:** August 14, 2007, 01:27:04 PM »

if it weren't for those FMVs they could've put the whole game in a single disc.

Mondain · « **Reply #37 on:** August 14, 2007, 01:37:16 PM »

uh, DQVIII was a bit too simple and bland, but then again it's always been part of the series' style

it's going to be better than Blue Dragon in the end, although BD is also good... DQ has more panache and overall compelling gameplay IMO

you guys are psychos, yes DQVII was much longer/deeper, but DQVIII is still a very high quality experience, in spite of it feeling too much like a Disney cartoon at times

Van Cruncheon · « **Reply #38 on:** August 14, 2007, 01:38:45 PM »

DQ8 is shallow as fuck. The lack of a class/job system system kills it, as do the tiny, simple dungeons.

Himu · « **Reply #39 on:** August 14, 2007, 01:39:28 PM »

But the overworld and sense of adventure and exploration makes up for that. I liked walking around the map and finding 99x things I wouldn't encounter if I only followed the main story.

Plus, the game has awesome sidequests.

speaking of fusion... what's the best way to go about fusing demons in nocturne? i was playing with the system a bit last night, but there's so much give and take involved. i was leaning towards fusing demons with unique looks/skills. *sigh*

I just fuse demons that have the stuff I need/want. didnt really care for looks, I treat them like tools.

although Vishnu and Metatron look freaking awesome and I use both for my final dungeon party.

Error. You won't believe what I heard about P3

I heard you can fuse to make the fiends from Nocturne!

so basically, demons are just an extension of your skill set? still trying to grasp the concept after playing DDS for the past month or 2.

Himu · « **Reply #56 on:** August 14, 2007, 01:58:24 PM »

You should treat demons as if they are there to assist YOU, not the other way around.

Question.

Does anyone else's gamestop.com online order tracking status say this? "Usually ships in 24 hours." It doesn't say processing, or shipping, or anything. It's been a while since I've ordered online, so...what does this mean?

It means it's in stock and ready to ship once you order. Which is just another way to say "usually ships in 24 hours".
