I'll take your word for it but I always thought Albert was pretty lackluster when compared to the lunars. The game looks great it's just that it seemed really short to me.

If your looking to collect the whole WD games that were made good luck, Exile: Wicked Phenomonon will be very hard to aquire and isn't all that for the asking price.

I would suggest getting premium editions on them as well, since theres no real cheap way to collect WD except for a handful of PS1 shooters & the PS2 games.

Besides that, you may wanna also get ahead start on Xseed games as they are pretty close to a modern day WD. :)

Best to worst per system IMO, and added a little price guide for completes BIN in Good shape.

If you can see the future while remembering the past, you may just have control of the present.

I'd suggest Albert Odyssey, its a very basic traditional rpg but it has some pretty funny dialogue, its a game that doesn't take itself very seriously unlike most jrpgs. i wish more jrpgs were localized by working designs, most jrpgs are very hard for me to stomach.

I didn't say that it was as good as the Lunars. Lunar 1 and 2 are both better in all forms.
