And beware of DQVIII. I loooved that game but it's very very retro. It took me by surprise at first and I didn't like it but I tried it again another time with more accurate expectations and it was amazing.

I actually want it because I love how it plays. I got the demo a long time ago, which lets you play the first hour of the game, and....damn it took me by surprise too. I liked it more then any Final Fantasy, so I know what I'm getting into. I'll think about Dark Cloud, but should I get 1 before 2?

Also have you played Dragon Warrior VII for PS1? Is it similar to VIII?

Dark Cloud 1 and 2 are not related and the first one was nothing amazing so you should definitely go right to Dark Cloud 2. The graphics are cel-shaded so it aged pretty well!

DQVIII is actually the only DQ game I've played so I can't really tell.

I edited the OP to be my dream list. PS1 games are expensive, so I hope to find some garage sale bumping.
