Its probably the best one to pick up in terms of easyness and gameplay when it comes to starting the series, if you like it definately consider grabbing FEVII(Just called Fire Emblem) and Path of Radiance on GC.

I guess my biggest blind purchase which actually was a good choice was when I bought an N64.

I was watching wrestling on night and they had a commercial for the new wrestling game wrestlemania 2000, and oh man I was like I have to have that game!

And in the end I had to buy an N64 just for the game and man was it worth it!

I bought Arc the Lad: Twilight of the Spirits a few years ago because the store I was at didn't have the game I wanted and I recalled hearing about the series and figured I'd give it a shot. I enjoyed it, actually. I mean, it's not my favorite game, but it provided entertainment and some of the characters I really liked. It's a shame I can't find squat about it on the internets though. :/

I remember another blind risk buy which didn't fare as well as the Pirates! game. It was several years ago when I saw Populous: The New Beginning at Chapters. I loved the original game on the SNES console many years ago, so I thought this new game was just like the old game, but with better graphics. Unfortunately, all I got was a RTS, and I absolutely suck when it comes to RTSs. >_>

I wasn't happy.

Update! I just remembered another one! I bought a cheap RPG called STAR OCEAN 3 and it sucked. THE END.

I bought Parasite Eve 1 back in the days because my brother told me that the reviews were great. I just didn't like it.

I'm sure if I played it today, I'd get to like it. But I sold it. :mad:
