So I'm currently almost finished with Lost Odyssey, which has pretty much become my Favorite Game Ever, and I don't have anything lined up to play when I'm done.

So.

OHOHOHO. MY EXPERTISE, LET ME SHOW YOU IT. I will, as per your orders, stick to strictly turn-based games and also games that are still somewhat easy to get a hold of (in this situation 'easy to get a hold of' means 'can buy directly from Amazon.' If you want suggestions for games that are able to be bought used on Amazon, let me know and I'll do a list for that, too)

PS2
SHIN MEGAMI TENSEI: PERSONA 3: FES
SHIN MEGAMI TENSEI: DIGITAL DEVIL SAGA 1 & 2 (This may seem to contradict my second clause of 'easy to get' but DDS 1 was just recently reprinted so should be showing up places soon, and DDS2 is likely to follow)
SHIN MEGAMI TENSEI: NOCTURNE
FINAL FANTASY XII (it operates on an ATB system, like FFX-2 only the encounters are all on the field instead of a separate screen)
DRAGON QUEST VIII
SHADOW HEARTS: FROM THE NEW WORLD (All of the Shadow Hearts games are worth getting, but the first one and the second one [Shadow Hearts: Covenant] can be a bit harder to find/you have to buy used. Also, as a warning, despite being 100% turn based like FFX, they used a system that requires fairly decent reflexes)
WILD ARMS 3 (same deal with Shadow Hearts; if you can find the other ones, get them too! Wild ARMS 5 is easy to find but fairly terrible as a warning)

XBOX360
BLUE DRAGON
That's...pretty much it, as far as turn-based 360 RPGs go for now.

DS
ETRIAN ODYSSEY 2 (WARNING: REALLY FUGGING HARD)
FINAL FANTASY TACTICS ADVANCE 2
MAGICAL STARSIGN

GBA/PSX/SNES
I suggest getting an emulator and pirating the hell out of them.

...I don't see how an emulator for GBA games is necessary if she owns a DS.

[ineedbothhands]

Eh. It can save her some money, and GBA games can be pretty hard to find nowadays. At least, where I am they are.

You know, I keep hearing about DDS, but the thing is I. Uhh. I have a somewhat irrational fear of anything involving cannibalism, so. XDDD Is it that bad in terms of eating people?

[ineedbothhands]

I can't think of anything really graphic, in terms of the cannibalism. Not graphically, at least. There's lots of talk about how great it is and how two heads means moar eatin's (oh, Heat) and such. DDS2 is definitely worse with it than DDS1, with the Jailer section, but...

I dunno, I don't want to say "oh it's not bad" and then end up, like, scarring you for life or something. orz I'd...skip it just to be safe? Or ask one of the DDS players, since they've likely played it more recently than I have.
