FInal Fantasy VI - I played Final Fantasy I before but the only reason I got that game was "It was the game Game Genie had the most codes for". I played it, beat it, but didn't understand or appreciate it.
In comes Final Fantasy VI, with awesome music, awesome spells, and awesome storyline and an awesome first boss. The strategy of the first boss, along with the individual personalities of the characters, and the overall story had me HOOKED such that I literally would rent it each weekend and play over and over again (unless I got the same cart) until my parents finaly bought it for me for Christmas. I then proceeded to play a full game, beat it, then learned how HP is not the greatest attribute to improve on in which I started over, and really worked hard on using those Espers to improve my stats. All in toll, I put in hundreds of hours into the game. A wonderful experience.
Wild Arms I - I got this because I couldn't find Beyond the Beyond. Beyond the Beyond had some advertisment in a game magazine I looked at, and given that the number of RPGS for the SNES was drying up, I felt it would be natural to go for the PS1 which was just about to get an influx of RPGS. However, at this time, the number was still very low and so I decided to go ahead and try out Wild Arms.
Despite having no memory card, and then no power later that day to play it, the game rocked. I truly enjoyed it and played it to the end. I'd even try to get those power apples or whatever to improve my stats in hopes to max out all my stats. Good game. Good music. Decent storyline. ALl around fun and a good way to start off my RPGing on the PS1.
Suikoden - This was similar to Wild Arms in that I got it because I wanted to play some RPGS and wanted to give this game a chance. GOod thing Idid. Even though I had no idea of what the game was like other than the review on the back of the case of the game, I thoroughly enjoyed it due to it's wonderful soundtrack, and well-develoeped storyline. The fact that there are a few things you can say or do that will change little things in the game is awesome. And trying to get all 108 characters is quite the feat. Oh, and of course, you can port your save to Suikoden 2 where, while it doesn't help you too much, allows you to get a surprise encounter with some characters from the past.
Final Fantasy IV - I have not played this game since i beat it on the SNES maybe almost fifteen eyars ago. I got it for the GBA and am finding it to be a wonderful experience to live all over again. When I am on a bus for a thirty minute drive, the time seems to go by like nothing as I level up my characters, go have Cecil become a Paladin, get the Baron's castle, and so forth. The storyline is great, the characters are well-developed and the soundtrack is decent (although a bit weakened on the GBA)
Jam it back in, in the dark.
