What RPG are you playing right now?

Now that I've beat Soul Blazer, which should I continue first: BoFIII or FFIX?

Hmm... tough call. They're pretty different beasts. Have you played a BoF game before?

Yep, that's why I'm playing no. 3. I've started both of them already for Snickerd00dle's summer challenge, but two RPGs at a time is a bit much. I'm at Wyndia and Gizamaluke's Grotto respectively. The grinding made me quit them for Soul Blazer, but I'm ready to get back to tackling one of them (eventually both of them, of course).

I remember more grinding in what I played of BoF3 compared to 4.

Drop both and just play BoF4.

He's got a point.

It's hard to say which you should go after next though. If you plan on completing both, then it doesn't really matter I guess. BoF III is more of a simple and traditional RPG, it pretty much plays like a SNES game. It doesn't have all the cinematic stuff that the PSX RPGs brought in that you'll find in FF IX. I think BoF is a relatively short also. I think I beat it in like 30ish hours. FF is going to take much longer to complete. There's a pretty substantial amount of sidequests too.

OK, I'll think I'll do BoFIII first then. I do plan on beating both. If BoFIV is that good, I'll probably tackle that after these two, or perhaps instead of FFIX if I get bored with it for some reason.

[Xeogred]

Yeah brunoafh has a good point there, FFIX is probably at least twice as long as BoFIII.

I've played FFIX before, ages ago. I started again yesterday, and I'm stuck three hours in at the ice cavern. No one has any mana left and I'm still not finished grinding.
This was easier the first time around.

Magic Knight Rayearth for the Saturn. It's awesome. Like Zelda but with three badass girls. So it's like... Zelda mixed with Powerpuff Girls?...

Its a fantastic game. If you have a modded system, or SSF, then I highly recomend trying this out. Just beware of terrible voice acting (it adds to the charm.)

You shouldn't have needed to grind at any point by now. You've only done a tiny little bit of fighting up to now!

Hell, I didn't need to grind once through the whole game. Just make sure not to run away from anything.
