I hear a lot of good things about Grandia, so I'm going to recommend that over Tales.

Okay, I finished Final Fantasy X-2 last night and need my next fix. The only problem is which game I should play so... Therefore I thought you guys (and girls) could help me pick. The alternatives are Brave Story: New Traveler (PSP) Grandia (PS1), Suikoden IV (PS2) and Tales of Symphonia (GC).

And don't just say "play this or that", motivate why I should play it. Alright?

girls?? where??

you should play grandia that game its a classic great characters and story. avoid suikoden iv if you are not a suikoden fan.

Grandia:

-Great story, better than ToS
-Great characters, better than ToS
-Great music, better than ToS
-Graphics are horrible for now... but still , better than ToS
-Great VA, better than ToS

No :P

ToS is 60+ hours first playthrough with a CRAPTON of extras (I guarantee you won't be able to do everything :3).

grandia.

better ending too.
and somebody became a hottie in that ending.

persona 4. The game is epic, long, jrpg, and there's even a date sim built in. scores of hours (they advertise something like 60+) I can't do it justice :p

This is an example of a game that is severely overhyped.

Its great story is brutally tortured by awful pacing, beaten half to death by bland environments and animations, and finally put out of its misery by bipolar gameplay that can't figure out whether its a dating sim or a generic dungeon crawler.

Honestly, the creators should have just made an anime instead of a game.

Chrono Cross!

Well, I have that one too so it's an option I loved Chrono Trigger so... How does it hold up against it?

@piggychan

Alright. Sounds good.

People dont look at it as even being close to Chrono Trigger, but it is my all time favorite RPG.

If you like turn-base and silent heroes, this games for your

If you like great music and awesome storylines, this games for you

None of the above, dont play the game and i die a little inside because yet another person doesnt recognize the greatness of this game.

I do love all those things so you bet I will play it. If it will be now or at a later point I haven't decided, but you can be sure about that I will play it. So don't go and die a little inside

Already played it (and beat it) And I think it's one of the best, if not the best, JRPG this side of the millennium. It's so good words can't make it justice.

Well, I have decided now which game to play. I picked Brave Story to play first because I have some games I have to review soon, so it's relatively short length sounds good. I really like to just focus on one game at a time. After that I will instantly pick up Grandia because, at least in this thread, it has got the most praise. So I’m really curious about it. Then it’s off to Tales of Symphonia so I have time to play it through before Vespeira. And Suikoden IV… Well some other time.

Thanks for all the help Time to recharge the PSP.
