Dragon Quest 7 was weird as hell. I talked to a friend about it how you can go hours in between battles, and that includes the start of the game. I'm pretty sure I played it for like 2-3 hours and never got into a single battle, at the time that kind of instantly turned me off and I sold it right away. Haha, wish I didn't though. (stopped selling games years ago).

I have a love/hate relationship with FF7. I think the plot/characters are really jacked up and messy, half the cast isn't very likeable, but damn does the game have some great atmosphere, amazing music, and I loved the Materia system even if it was easy to abuse. It's funny that it's just one of those games I make fun of a lot with my friends, yet it's one of the FF's I've probably beaten the most several times, next to FF6 or something.

Xenogears is just amazing. Highly recommended.

Nostalgia - DS - And it turns out that 15 hours in, I get to the dragon temple and it freezes. An issue with the original shipment of carts. Im 3/4s of the way through the game and cant beat the ruddy thing.

It's one of my greatest gaming embarrassments.

I'm like 2 hours into it, I would think I will play in more on a handheld though.

Wow, boatload of games I'm playing in parallel:
Replaying FF8 with the whole Squall's dead mindset in hand (http://squallsdead.com)
Crimson Gem Saga on PSP
Rebeating Parasite EVE and taking on the CB
Not sure if it counts as an RPG, but just started 3rd Birthday on PSP
If you aren't having a good time, why are you playing?

Don't worry, he doesn't actually die in the course of the game (I'm assuming you thought you just got a major spoiler). That's just a(n interesting) theory about why the events of FF8 are so bizarre and nonsensical.
