I can tell you now that the system has a bit to be desired but it really isn't that bad. It feels like it was KH, basically, with the commands put in a certain 'leadership' mode. The overall story comes to a head halfway through and SPLITS into two parts. This, in turn, means that this has replay written all over it and it does deliver well in that regard.

The top thing I liked about it was the unlocks and the ability to get around 180 or so characters at your disposal, some from various Tri-Ace games. Yes. Yes. Lenneth too is an unlock...and she's wicked cool (at about 9000 HP when you get her). Props to her deathmove, Nibelung Valesti, in PS2 graphics.

Another big thing is the ability to replay much like Disgaea. It's a little limited in that sense, but any character that you've unlocked/made friends with you get when restart. Any techniques that you've learned, you keep. I'm not sure about items, however.

If it's 20 bucks right now, I'd get it. I paid about 30 or so for mine a few months ago and I sure as heck liked it. That's probably a reason I want to check out Valkyrie Profile 2 when it comes out.

EDIT: Out of continuing curiosity, I decided to sticky this thread. I figure this would be a good reference thread, namely because of the fact that people can look at reasons why someone would get a game and might incorporate it for themselves over a given amount of time.

If that's the case, why don't we have a thread too for people that ALREADY have a game to recommend out of their collection, and people could reference that if they're looking to buy a game, but not one that is necessarily new or something.

You could probably do that in this thread as well. Not everyone buys new games and some people can find great bargains on older (but still great) titles at stores.

1. Twilight Princess

Looks awesome, I'm actually not really excited about it, I have a habit of feeling it'll be delayed every time

2. Smash Bros. Brawl

Umm, do I need a reason for this? SNAAAAAKE!

3. Mario Kart Wii

'Cause we all know there'll be one

4. Metroid Prime 3 or Hunters

Whichever one I get to buy first

This is pretty much a Wii top 4, but there is 5. Super Paper Mario

'Cause flatness is oh so good, and I can torch things with Bowser.

6. Kirby for DS, forget the name

Should be get Disgaea 2 coming up here this next week. I was looking at King of Fighters 2006 as well, which just came out yesterday. Looked kickass.

If we can recommend games we've already bought as well, I'll put out a definite recommendation for Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow... definately my favorite DS game now. (Though to be fair the only other DS games I have are Dig Dug: Digging Strike and Sonic Rush)

I have to find Disgaea sometime. I read the review for the second one in Game Informer and while I don't take most reviews seriously, I looked at the screenshots and said to myself "Whoa."

Definitly getting one or the other.. or both.

Also, Battalion Wars II as for it will be awesome multiplayer. Should go beat the first...

Knights of the Old Republic III (PC): Loved the first one, made it through the 2nd one and ended it loving that one as well...so now it is time to stop with all these rumors and teasers, and just say that you're making it!!!! Baka.

Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core (PsP): Eve though I am one of the few that doesn't think that FF7 is the greatest thing ever, I still want to play this RPG on my PsP.

Final Fantasy XII (Ps2): Unlike with FFX, I haven't really been following this game. But as we get closer to Halloween, I realize that I do want to play this game, and hopefully the battle system won't be as bad as the demo suggested.

Final Fantasy III (DS): Need I say more?

Final Fantasy VI (GBA): Kefka. Oh how sweet it is. Now I might not be a FF7 fangirl, but when it comes to FF6, I am so there.

Final Fantasy XIII (Ps3): The chick with the pink/purple hair looks cool.

Final Fantasy Vers. XIII (Ps3): What the hell is this anyway?

Capcom Puzzle World (PsP): It has Super Puzzle Fighter 2 on it, enough said.

Bubble Bobble Revolution (DS): I've been a fan of Bubble Bobble since I first played it on the orginal NES. I currently have it for my GBA, but this newest installment that they have coming out, yea, a must buy for me.

Lumines (Ps2): Sure, I have this on the PsP, but to play it on the big screen with the volume turned up, yea.

Lumines II (PsP): Should be as good as the last one.

DDR Supernova (Ps2): After seeing the coverart for this game the other day at work, I want it even more. Seems to be a lot of good songs on this one, but honestly, that doesn't surprise me.

Guitar Hero 2 (Ps2): I cannot believe that I love this game as much as I do! I also can't believe that I made it onto hard without shooting someone. Oh wait.....

Lego Star Wars II: The Orginal Triliogy (Xbox): And now you ca customize your legos....sweet.

Fighting Vipers (Sega Saturn): I won it on EBay and I'm still waiting!!! It was just something about that game that I loved when I was younger and kicking ass in it.


Well, I think that's it...and sadly, most of these games come out this fall, so yea, this is my Xmas/B'day.
Cynthia

Uh-huh.

I never knew you were a Kefka fangirl. :O

FF3 got 34/40 from Famitsu so it sounds like it's goooood. And I'm surprised you're not looking forward to FF5 Advance.

I might get FFIII DS too but IŽll wait and see what people think about it.

IŽve beaten Final Fantasy IV and V on the computer already so I donŽt know if IŽll get those. But it was fun to beat Shinryu and Omega in FFV. I wonder what theyŽll add to the GBA version.

When the Wii comes out...

1. Super Smash Bros. Brawl-duh fools
2. Super Mario Galxay-So I can see how much further Nintendo can get from the castle of SM64
3. Probably the Virtual Console download of Super Mario RPG

Not a fan of FFV. I might give it another go, but when I played it, I just couldn't get into it as much as I did with the FF games; I didn't like the job system.

Well, they added 4 new jobs... XD

Eh, the job system takes a bit of time but it's really quite neat when you get the hang of it. Some people WANT to master each job, god forbid.

Mastering all the jobs was easy as cake once you got to the X-zone though... especially if you found a mover. Mmmm.... 199 AP.

Anyway, Alastor has recently convinced me to get Starfox Command, as soon as I can get enough money for it. All my cash is in my bank account though, and I'm forever forgetting to go there.

Mover? IŽve beaten the game and donŽt think IŽve found a mover. Ever. Gotta check the game's savestates.

And uh...who DOESN`T love Kefka's laugh?

My brother pre-ordered Okami and God Hand for me as birthday gifts.. I really can't wait!! Those games seem to incorporate a good sense of style and substance.

The latter I'm guessing less of you heard of.. I like it because it looks like a really funny ridiculous fist of the north star game.

StarFox Command? Eh... I heard it was OK but takes some getting used to. If you like the series, then it'll probably be *good* but we'll see.

1.) Smackdown vs. Raw 2007
-For the ps3 (which I'd also need to save for), it's supposed to have better graphics, a realistic feel and some classic wrestlers. I really want to see how the custom character system works.

2.) Counter-Strike: Source (again)
-Steam recently screwed me over after I got banned from one of their servers for wall-hacking. I cannot purchase a new serial online so I'll have to look around in a store for a brand new copy.

3.) Need for Speed: Most Wanted - Black Edition
-Interested me for quite some time now. I haven't played any Need for Speed game since Hot Pursuit (NFS3) and I'm willing to try it. I'm not sure what's different from the regular edition though.
