Except he's overly emo and answers everything with "Whatever..."

Can we at least agree that he's better than Vaan and his damn metrosexuality?

agreed. plus at least squall wears a shirt.
also, he sounds really cool in any japanese game with him in it.

So I finished Persona 4 and am now trying to decide what to play next. The number of choices is quite frankly staggering. It's really rather daunting.

Right now could play any of the following:

7th Saga
Arc the Lad
Earthbound
Final Fantasy Tactics Advanced
Final Fantasy VI
Final Fantasy VIII
Final Fantasy IX
Golden Sun
Grandia
Illusion of Gaia
Kingdom Hearts - Chain of Memories
Lufia & The Fortress of Doom
Lufia II - Rise of the Sinistrals
Lunar - Silver Star Story
Lunar - Eternal Blue
Mario & Luigi - Superstar Saga
Ogre Battle 64
Ogre Battle - March of the Black Queen
Riviera - The Promised Land
Secret of Evermore
Secret of Mana
Shining Force
Shining Force II
Soul Blazer
Star Ocean
Super Mario RPG
Tales of Destiny
Tales of Eternia/Tales of Destiny 2
Terranigma
Xenogears

Um, any ideas as to how to choose something? Or at least narrow down this massive list? 'Cause I got nothing.

I'm not sure why I posted this here. It was... the most active RPG related topic and... Shut up!

<b><i>EDIT:</b></i> After conversing with ÞLä§м@ $σµl™ and watching some gameplay videos, the list has been narrowed down to these five:

Earthbound
Final Fantasy VI
Grandia
Tales of Destiny
Xenogears

I'd say that's some good progress, but now I really have no idea which to play.

Xenogears.

Xenogears it is then. Seeing as I'm never going to choose at this rate.

And also because it apparently lets you save before changing discs. So I can play it on my Mac side without CHRONO CROSS RAGE!\\

<i><b>EDIT:</i></b> And also because - having now played through the beginning - the graphics are <i>totally fucking awesome.</i> Sprite based characters in polygonal environments FTW.

<i><b>Edit #2:</b></i> FUCKRAGEFUCK! I played for like four hours before my emulator's memory card suddenly corrupted. And the game froze. I dunno whether I have the patience to do those four hours over again. Screw it, I will. I want to see where the story is going. <i>On Windows.</i> Fuck PCSX for Mac. It can go die in a fire.

I chose Xenogears because it apparently kicks ass, and because I'll probably never get around to it meself.

Go buy Re: Chain of memories :]

enjoy it in it's non-2d kingdom hearts goodness
