Phantasy Star II will infuriate you far more than Final Fantasy IV.

I think noise started PSII a long time ago.

But yeah, FFIV is about a trillion times more accessible.

as I mentioned, I have played a couple hours of both FF4 and PS2 in the past.

I must have had a lot of free time as an eleven year old, because I beat PS2 at that age without a walkthrough or strategy guide. I don't remember it being as big an ordeal as the internet makes it out to be. I do remember it being grindy, but not overly difficulty insofar as you grinded your characters up properly. But that's true of a lot of old JRPGs, not just PS2.

basically I'm only gonna do this if I can come up with a list of 10 games that I actually feel excited about playing and that are ones I think are realistic to manage to beat within the 3 months even if juggling TR games and possibly new releases. So...

I really like FFII. I can't wait to read your thoughts on it.

I may mistaken, but if you purchased a new copy of the game, it came with a map and strategy guide of sorts. I was fortunate to find a dog-eared copy of the pack-in strategy guide when I was playing the through the game a few years ago. It made the game much, much more manageable.

You can beat Bonk in less than an hour, and I was able to get through the game on my second attempt. It is fun; it is not very challenging; and I suspect it is perfect for your list.

.....

Also, and for the record, the following games:

Devil May Cry 3
Dynamite Headdy
Faxanadu
Jak & Daxter
King of Fighters 2002
Mega Turrican
Ratchet & Clank
Sly Cooper & The Thievius Racoonus

...are not classics.

Here is my huge "to beat" list:

I consider most of these "classics"; so, maybe you will find something there.

Hey that's dsh's job not yours

figured fax would've counted somehow(and ratchet/sly/jak they seem to me like they should *sigh*) :-\ I have no clue what to put in their slots since I was trying not to fully load up on rpg's I need to find some decent shooters, shoot 'em ups, and beat 'em ups to add to my collection(I seriously have a over abundance of platformers, and to a lesser extent rpg's)

Gotta disagree with you on Sly, Ratchet and Jak personally.

I feel Faxanadu and Dynamite Headdy are debateable too.

My list is below, but I want some opinions:

2. Fire Emblem: Ankoku ryuu to Hikari no Ken (FC)
3. Kingdom Hearts (PS2)
4. Banjo Tooie (N64)
5. Metroid Zero Mission (GBA)
6. Metal Gear Solid 3 (Vita)
7. The G.G. Shinobi (GG)
8. Super Aleste (SNES)
9. Saturn Bomberman (Saturn)
10. The Curse of Monkey Island (PC)

Would people consider any of these following games more classic than some of the ones on my list already:

The Mystical Ninja starring Goemon (N64)
Survival Kids (GBC)
The Adventure of Lolo 2 (NES)
Rastan (SMS)

Also not sure whether to stick with Kingdom Hearts as my RPG or swap it for Final Fantasy VIII on PS1 instead.
