Still going on DQVII and Fallout 3, but I started dabbling in Nightmare of Druaga today. Seems to be quite an obscure game, but I'm enjoying it so far.

I just finished Persona 4 with the best ending (clocked in 85 hours game time), so now I'm trying to decide which to focus on: my half finished Eternal Sonata save, my half finished Odin Sphere save, or my one hour in Blue Dragon save.

Grandia II for Dreamcast
Terranigma for SNES
Phantasy Star for Sega Master (probably most of my time once I finish G2)

Wow. Been thinking about getting this. Never played a Person game before. Obviously, you liked it huh?

Right now I am playing Earthbound. Only a few hours in but do love the personality that game has.

Yeah, Persona is really great. I think the best part is that it never felt like I was just needlessly grinding, until the very very very end when I wanted to take the final boss with just my MC. The key mechanic that makes it interesting in my mind is the fusion system. You can spend so much time planning out the perfect demons.

I don't mind some grinding, especially before bosses, but I hate it when you're constantly required to do so just to move on. I've been surprised by some grinding I've had to do in Earthbound (I'm in area two/three; haven't played through it before). The style and look of the game leads you to believe you could sail through but it's a little more hard core than you would think.

NWN2 Storm of Zehir and Fallout 3 (the game is like crack for me) on my PC.
Lost Odyssey on my XBox 360.

Chrono Trigger DS is so much fun. I just fought Magus.

I have a copy of Dragon Warrior VII and was wondering, is it good and worth my time Flak? Being a long time fan of the series this is the one of the only ones I didn't play yet. I want to play it but the graphics hurt my eyes to be honest. But if the gameplay and exploration are up to par I'll gladly dive right in. The sense of adventure is what makes DQ games so special not the graphics. Who would play a DQ game for the graphics anyway?

The graphics are indeed pretty lackluster, but you get used to them honestly. It helps if you're playing on a smaller screen as well. So far I feel the sense of adventure/exploration is great. Things start to get more interesting as new islands show up. You'll see what I mean when you play.

If you have a copy, you might as well give it a whirl. You'll know within the first few hours if you're going to like it. Honestly, if you're a DQ fan, you've got nothing to lose. I know quite a few DQ players that their favorite of the series is DQVII.
