I've seriously been considering it. I think I'm at level 8 now, and I'm having trouble finding anything that I can't kill. I guess I'm looking for a harp, but I have no idea where it is.

At what point would you say the games are playable without a guide? DQ3?

My memory of 3 is a bit hazy........ I would say 4. I made it 35 hours or so before glancing at a walkthrough and the only reason I did was to find some bonus items/optional stuff. Keep in mind it'll be easier to find your way in the newer ports (DS vs. NES) with better NPC dialogue and whatnot.

Well, I've decided to play through Breath of Fire, since it's another great SNES RPG that I've never beaten. It's kinda sad how few of these I actually have beaten...

Good for you! You'll enjoy the game, though if you're anything like me.......

the abbreviated item names will drive you insane.

Ys Seven is going well. 2nd boss was about 3000x easier than the first.

Devil Summoner (PS2) I may stop for a while. I started playing SMT: Digital Devil Saga instead. Seems more interesting though I do like the detective nature of Devil Summoner. Just the battle system isn't that great.

Yeah, they already do. Though I love being able to look at what each one does with the '?' tool, and the abilty to compare equipment in the shops to my current gear is a huge blessing.

Set the controller down, walk away, and never play a Persona game ever again?

I really can't help you with the game, but I gotta say, after all the time you've put into this one, I'm kinda disturbed.

Dude! I have no choice at this point, I'm not gonna play a game for 94 hours and not beat it... :lol:
