I really, really, really, really want to play Dune and I can't because it needs exactly six players.

As far as Let's Plays go, the only one I watch and subscribe to is ZetaPlays. Why do a regular Let's Play when you can spin a wheel you made yourself and HAVE to play whatever comes up? He just recently played through 1/3 of nearly all NES, SNES, and Genesis games.

Do not play Record of Agarest War.

Because...? I haven't really seen anything to suggest it might be bad other than arguments it has a lot of fan service.

I can't believe I didn't see anyone anywhere mention that the original Harvest Moon is out on WiiU

I'd avoid anything by Idea Factory.

Here's a good summation as to why Agarest War sucks:

Oh.

I've been looking forward to it somewhat to. I played a certain SRPG I can't remember at some point, and ever since then I've been wanting to get what I can. I wanted to grab this one since I saw it cheaper than any of the others I've wanted, but...

And there was one or two only released in Japan that had caught my attention. I'm really hoping people can hack up some translation patches for 360/PS3 games after this generation ends. I don't really see why it couldn't be done...

So, now I'm looking at another somewhat under the radar game to trade this for. I'm thinking maybe Vanquish, but I'm feeling in an RPG mood. I considered Record of Agarest War.

Be a man and get Shadowrun Returns, Temple of Elemental Evil, Fallout Tactics or Jagged Alliance 2 instead. Or atleast Valkyria Chronicles or a Disgaea game if you're sticking to the PS3.

He's right. I've tried all three games, and even reviewed the third one. They're very grindy, repetitive, and the stories aren't very compelling.

[Forlorn Drifter]

Well shit. SRPG's are just such a niche little thing, I don't know what else I can grab for a reasonable price right now. I guess XCOM would be the next best bet.

Any suggestions? I have Gameboy, Gamecube, and 360. I know about Fire Emblem, and that isn't really something I can afford right now, and I'd currently prefer if it was on my 360 so I don't have to change my setup.

Gameboy? SRPG? I'm assuming you mean like GB-GBA right?

How about Advance Wars?
