    anyone have any good RPG reccomendations for the gamecube?

    something easy with TONS of playtime.

    any reccomendations are welcome.

    also, if there's a game that you absolutely love, regardless of genre, i'd like to hear about it.

    For GC, I recommend Baten Kaitos and Tales of Symphonia.

      Why haven't I seen you before?

      And why are you so right? Both of these games own so hardcore. I recommend Tales first because of just how amazingly awesome it is, even though BOTH games are from Namco and BOTH games have musical compositions from Motoi Sakuraba.

        Heh, I post when I can. But obviously, we have superior taste in games.
        I absolutely love that soundtrack on Baten Kaitos. My stupid brother deleted all my memory for my PS2 and GC, so it's kinda hard to get back into it, after losing so much.

          Not to go off on a tangent or anything, but all the sites with hashes to get the soundtrack to Baten Kaitos removed their links. I am quite pissed because I still have yet to actually hear this fantastic music and I have no way to get it.

          Every so often I remember to keep trying to find it (like now) and look again...only to fail again.

          E-tear.

            Ahh, I've always wondered where I could get the music from Baten Kaitos, and now, it looks like I'll never get that chance.

              Not to go off on an even farther tangent or anything, BUT...

              Valkyrie Profile 2 is IN THE WORKS! I just found out.

              This is exciting because
              1. Valkyrie Profile was developed by tri-Ace, who also developed Star Ocean, and is totally worship-worthy for that alone.
              2. Motoi Sakuraba did the amazing soundtrack for Valkyrie Profile, and it is likely he will be doing one again for VP2.

              Bad news is, I doubt it will be for GCN.

              (I've been dying to play the original VP, but it's almost impossible to find for less than $100... x_X )

              YAY for tri-Ace. YAY for Sakuraba. Nay for Playstation hogging most of the good RPGs.


              ...Yeah, sorry, this is rather offtopic....


              PS. Don't lose hope yet; I may be able to get my hands on the Baten Kaitos OST. Let me run to my uberly awesome secret sauce. *dashes off*

                Er, seems a little late now, but cancel that despair and loss of hope XD

                I'll actually sign on to AIM to tell you about it, I'm that happy about it.

                ~Squeek

                ps - rofl no more tangents. I'll tell you what NOT to get though: Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles. Never EVER buy this game.

                        The problem with Paper Mario 2 is that he said he was looking for lots of playtime. ToS will take you 60 hours on your first run. The final clock on my last save file on the first time I beat the game was 99 hours. I haven't started Baten Kaitos yet because I want to have a lot of time to play it over Winter break. Paper Mario 2 took about 25-30 hours and wasn't nearly as hard as some people make it out to be (they fail at allocating BP. I beat the game with 35 HP and 25 FP against the final boss on my first try).

                            There isn't exactly a large library of RPGs for the GameCube. Every single one I can think of barring Skies of Arcadia Legends has been mentioned, and now I took care of that. SoA is a great game.

                              Skies got old, fast. I got 2 Crystals and lost all interest in it.

                              I happened to find a combination of moves that make me invulnerable that early in the game and figured it was crap. I mean, it's protection against all magical and all physical attacks. I think I'm set.
