Re: old school rpgs
Personally I loved FF back in the day but can't stand that kind of gameplay any more. So tedious. Pointless random monsters; conversation bubbles that go on and on.
I did a similar post recently about old school "PC" RPG's (mostly Bioware style) and played a bunch. Here's my quick summary :
Planescape Torment - all around awesome; graphics are bit dated, and it's a bit weird, but great game
Baldur's Gate 2 - feels a bit dated, but great game originally, still worth playing
Icewind Dale - same as BG2, love this game
Icewind Dale 2 - has a nice high res mode which makes it look great, but gameplay is much much worse than ID1
Diablo 2 - wow, feels way too dated to me now, gfx suck and just pointless hack & slash (used to love it)
The one I still haven't played is Neverwinter Nights, I plan on doing that next.
