I know, I know they're a million of these... but I need some help. I have too many games... that I havn't played all the way through...
Should I play:
Xenogears - Borrowed and enjoyed, now own.
The Legend of Dragoon - Barrowed and enjoyed, now own.
Chrono Cross - Barrowed and enjoyed, now own.
Suikoden II - Almost played all the way through once, maybe another try?
Final Fantasy IX - Barrowed and enjoyed, now own.
Wild Arms 2 or 3 - Enjoyed 1
Arc the Lad: Twilight of the Spirits : Enjoying the fighting system, beginning seems tedious.
Metal Arms: Glitch -
Final Fantasy X - Found it overall meh, pretty but lacking gameplay
Dark Cloud 2 -
Front Mission 4 -

play zeongears, then play zeno saga if you havent already......one hella good series to boot
Go with Metal Arms and a word of wisdom: if anyone in the future recommends you play Xenogears with no caveats or reservations don't listen to them. They may just be the devil.

It seems my friendly little topic has turned into a flame war.

Played and finished. It's an interesting game, but it's definitely not without flaws.

You're really cementing my earlier point here about people who rabidly defend the game being untrustworthy with a recommendation. I don't know if you mean to or not, but it's working out pretty good. If you want to know what my specific problems were with the game go look in the review section. I put a review up for it. Like I said, it's interesting, but that doesn't mean it's a great game.
Edit: wow, reading over my review I was really pretty nice to the game. (Now with link.) http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=17976

In case any of you were worried only two of these titles I paid full price for: Suikoden II and FF7, one is now worth 100 bucks and the other is probably my favorite console game.

Assuming you don't already have them you should look into the Lunars and Final Fantasy Anthology/Collection too, I think. There's lots of good gaming to be had in them.

Play through FFIX. It's a little too easy, but I really enjoyed playing it. It features one of the more interesting enemies since FFVI in the androgenous Kuja, great graphics, and generally well-developed characters.
Xenogears is my recomendation, or skip those and go buy Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete (PS1) and enjoy the best game ever!

You wouldn't have as much of a problem if you would finish games before you started new ones...
If I beat a game with sequels I usually try and play them right after, to keep the flow of things going. I don't like to jump around. So, what have you played most recently? Finish that first.
I will vouch for Arc the Lad, it is excellent. I didn't like Darc's first chapter myself. But you need it to setup the rest of the game.
Metal Arms is the kind of game you can put down and pick up at a moment's notice, not like these games with a deep story, so I wouldn't put aside any time for it. Just whenever you feel like picking it up.
And have to agree with previous poster about Lunar too.
