@acardattack As a stand-alone title, I'd agree with you, but I think it's meant as more of a sort of bridge in between the Sky games and the Crossbell games. It also gives some pretty vital background into the church's role in the series, and more importantly Kevin Graham. If you've played the Sky games and the Cold Steel games, you know how much Falcom love to lay out a very interweaving story. It's a real shame not knowing whether we'll even ever get the 2 Crossbell games.
As previously mentioned by others, I give my loving stamp of approval to Legend of Heroes Trails in the Sky FC (first chapter) and SC(second chapter). The added benefit is that this story is still ongoing in the more recent releases of the Trails of Cold Steel games. (Of course, if you decided you like both of those and want to jump into Cold Steel, I'd suggest playing Trails in the Sky: The 3rd first)
Also, Star Ocean 1 and 2. When 2 came out on PS1 it was one of my first jrpgs on that system, and sorta blew my mind at the time.
Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete (PS1 version) and Lunar: Eternal Blue Complete (PS1 version) are both incredibly charming jrpgs.
I had to laugh. One of the songs on Taiko Switch Version is the alphabet song, haha.
Octopath Traveller. "Started" it yesterday from where I left off in the demo. Tressa is my main (and I'm still addicted to getting as much money as I can out of every fight) and Cyrus was the other person I picked up in the demo. Now I've also got Ophilia, and am working on getting through H'aanit's intro. Seems like it was kind of designed to have this be the party setup for Tressa, considering everyone else is much further south than the party members I have. Oh well, two fighters, a "black mage", and "white mage" seems pretty well balanced to me.
Oh baby! It's been far too long, my dear dear Taiko! And not that I need it, but an English patch is coming for it sometime in August if anyone else was interested in importing it.

Hey can someone invite me to the EZA squad? PM me and I’ll share my PSN name. Thanks! Excited to fight the gold guy with y’all!

Any allies still playing this game? If a EZA squad is still going, I'd love to join.
Unfortunately, the only way to join the EZA squad is to be invited by Ian himself. And the only time I think he ever plays anymore is during the Weekly Hunts that he is able to attend. Someone else might be able to come up with something for the pc version though?
Well, now I know what it's like to face off against mushroom people if they ever show up at my job. Work at one of the stores long enough, and it's fairly easy to tell what this store from LoU dlc is based on. 
The answer is Petsmart, btw. The hanging circular signs and the red with white lettering aisle markers are a dead giveaway.
Beat Ys Origin, and then spent a few hours getting annoyed at the challenge quests in MHW for the Ryu and Sakura costumes...I'm not a fan of challenge quests...
@sentinel-beach Red 9! Pops the heads right off! :p
@bard91 Well, I've put it on hold for now if that says anything. It's like a fusion of the Cold Steel and Ys games, but doesn't fully do either of them all that well imo. But if you're into the general day to day feeling of the Cold Steel games, I'd say it's probably worth a shot. It was on sale on PSN when I got it, so I don't feel too burnt by it.
Funnily enough though, I just started Ys Origins. I haven't gotten to Ys VIII yet, but I get the feeling that one's combat still won't be on the level of the 2D Ys games. Of all them I've played, Felghana was my first and still my favorite so far, but Ys Origins is putting up some good competition. I also haven't played the on Steam though either, the one that was originally on PS2 I think?
