a store by my house has these few RPGS for 6$ each when i trade in a game. which is better?

Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter
Wild Arms 3
Arc the lad:Twilight of the Spirits
and Dark cloud which isnt really a rpg i dont think but im interested in it.


so which of these would you guys recomend?

Those are all pretty solid

But my bet are for Dark cloud(get dark cloud 2 if u can)
Arc the lad is awesome if your into FFTish game(love em).... Wild arms I would pass on I actually like beyond the beyond better. Dragon quarter is nifty for a dungeon crawler BUT the battle system is pretty good

I thought Dark Cloud sucked...alot.

Arc the lad:Twilight of the Spirit!

Dark Cloud 2 is supposed to one of the best action RPG's ever. I wouldn't know for sure though, my copy is still sitting there sealed. How do you say.....backlog,

I think I'd keep my original game. None of them are good. "Boring stories" is the description I'd use.


For $6 you should be able to pick up a used copy of Grandia 2 or Skies of Arcadia.... both of which are great RPGs.

Grandia 2 is shit, and Skies of Arcadia gets old fast.

Out of all the games listed, I'd recommend Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter the most. Combat is nice and tactical, the story is interesting, and the mechanics are quite innovative (you're basically doomed to failure on your first playthrough, but each time your game gets FUBAR due to the ever-increasing, ultimately lethal "D-Counter," you are allowed to start over with quite a bit of gear, experience, and skills you earned in your first try. And when you replay, you are allowed to see scenes which you'd normally have missed that further explain what's going on. Be sure to check out GameFAQs if you decide to get Dragon Quarter, though, or alot of its subtlety can be lost on you).

ive been looking for cheap grandia xtreme or 2 around no luck yet. and i already have skies of arcadia legends on gamecube.

I played all of those games and thought each one was pretty decent.. I really liked the old west style of Wild Arms 3..

Arc the Lad followed by Wild Arms 3...

I've played them all, I'd say if you are interested in Dark Cloud pick it up. Arc the lad is a very good game and Wild Arms 3 is pretty good, BoF DQ is the single worst RPG.

Dark Cloud 2 is the way to go. Truthfully, I don't really know since I have yet to play it but my brother loves it. So I would say Dark Cloud 2. I've played the rest of the games and I wasn't really impressed by any of them, especially BoF DQ.

Wild Arms 3 is the best overall game of those you listed.

Dark Cloud is garbage. Avoid at all costs.

The others I can't really say since I haven't played them yet, but the saftest bet would probably be Arc the Lad. A few friends of mine said it was pretty good.

Arc the Lad. It's one of my favorite rpg's.

I agree. I have the game and i finished it...well almost. I'm at the last part the hidden or extra missions thingy. whatever. I do have to say that the cinematic graphics are absolutely gorgeous. It's cute, and a lot of fun, but very tough, especially towards the end. I''m currently trying to finish Xenosaga: Episode II. I'd say go with Dark Cloud or even Dark Cloud 2.

Strongly disagree. Both Grandia 2 and Skies are the best RPGs to come off the Dreamcast line.



Grandia Xtreme: I've never played it, but most of the reviews say to avoid it. Apparently it has no story..... just thousands of random battles.
