What RPG are you playing right now?

Is Evolution Worlds an ok RPG for the Gamecube? My brother gave it me years ago, but I never really played it.

[Ack]

Ack,

I recommend The 7th Saga. It's more difficult that most 16-bit JRPGs, but it has an atmosphere that's unmatched. It's completely different from every other RPG on the SNES (well, except for the sequel).

Sorry BoneSnap, I decided I'd give Arcana a whirl and have discovered I really like it! But 7th Saga is definitely on my list! I have a new gameplay goal to have completed 100 SNES games in my collection(I've completed 86 currently), so I will have to go after it soon. I want to get onto Backloggery's Top 10 Members Completed SNES section, and I currently only need 25 to tie for the 10th place slot.

I am about half way (estimated) through Wild Arms 1, I am in love with the Wild Arms series and I just regret not getting into it until now.

Have you gotten to the credits yet? Because as I recall, that is the halfway point.

I've heard mixed reviews of the Evolution games. I'd wager if you're just looking for an "ok RPG" it will satisfy?

It's a port of both Evolution games for the Dreamcast, but I heard that the version of the first game is abbreviated, with the Linear Watch removed (it tied to the VMU unit, which didn't have a counterpart on the GameCube) and, quoting Wikipedia, "almost all of its dungeon crawling and condensing the game's entire plot into fewer, but much longer, cutscenes." But I hear that Evolution 2 is in its entirety.

I've never played either, so I can't help you weigh in whether to get Evolution Worlds or get the original Dreamcast versions, assuming you have a Dreamcast.

When the credits role is just the ending of the intro really, and isn't nearly halfway.

He already gave me the game years ago. I was just wondering if it's a decent RPG.

Sounds like a good goal! I used to appear on the bottom of the lists for a few more obscure consoles like Pokémon Mini, NGPC and Virtual Boy for most games beaten, but I doubt I'm still on them any more!

Edit: Oh hey, I'm 5th on the list for most Beaten DsiWare games and 3rd on the list for most beaten Pokémon Mini games (with 2 ). I just miss a few of the lists though, even for some slightly bigger name consoles like Master System.

[Ack]

Nice! I figure I should definitely go for this, but I'm going to have to clear some of the remaining big names from my "Must play" list, like Chrono Trigger, Donkey Kong Country, StarFox, etc. The RPGs will take the longest, but I figure they look more impressive overall. After all, gotta do something to make up for inclusions like Mario's Early Years: Fun with Numbers.
