Final Fantasy Tactics for the playstation was my favorite, but I grew up with the Dragon Warrior series for the NES. My 4 year old was playing the original the other day,She wasn't doing too bad for not being able to read yet.

Might and Magic VI I thought was a good game. I play adom at work every once in a while, but I was never a big fan of "die and start from the begining" type. Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter had an interesting save system though, but I haven't gone far into that game yet. I'll have to give Ragnarok a try, I'm always up for a new RPG, there just arent enough good ones out there.

Anyone here play Guildwars?

I never got into the online games, partly because I don't have the money for the montly fees, and partly because I don't have internet at home. At the time I looked into it I couldn't see paying 20-30 dollars each month for the little time I had to play. I did play a free demo of something along the lines of an MMORPG, It was aimed more a kids though. a free trial aimed at kids meant there were alot of people running around not knowing what they were supposed to do. I wouldn't mind trying out something like Guildwars, but for now I'm stuck with single player RPG's

Guild Wars has no monthly fee. You still have to pay for Internet though, which might run around $20 a month for low end DSL from SBC (they have special deals all the time) or similar.

Thats not so bad. It's been a few years since I had internet at home. I gave up when I couldn't find a reliable SP that wouldn't try to shaft me. My current comp isn't worth fixing for internet though. Maybe I'll give it a try sometime.

Wolfman77: You can get around Adoms' total death syndrome by simply copying the savegame into a backup folder.

But in my opinion, this does take away something from the experience. (Doesn't mean I don't do it, though.

)

Thought about that. You are probably right about it taking away from the experience, but after spending 15 minutes creating a character, then dieing the first battle. I did that three times trying to figure out the game. Then the next five times I died in the first dungeon, a couple times from starving. Man thats annoying.
I always liked being able to do stuff as slow as I wanted and not being a slave to a timer, but I also don't like to lose something I spent a long time working to build. I realy like the weapon system in the game, and I think I like the magic system, haven't played long enough to see that though. Maybe If I can learn the game a little better I won't need the backups.
