Feel like the most obvious suspects here for me are the trails games and the ace attorney games (I think the first one I played was actually AAI)

Ace Attorney, Tales of Symphonia, Trails, Persona, Mass Effect

Something like that.

Probably Trails most of all

I was already a big Ys fan, but never really went into kiseki

Tales I actually played well before I was even in GameFAQs

There are a ton, but Ace Attorney and Life is Strange are the two big ones that immediately come to mind.

Ace Attorney and 999 (Zero Escape by extension) were the big ones for sure. I think there was also some influence on Persona as well, though that one was at least on my radar. Somehow stumbled on to Tales on my own, though I guess Symphonia was darn near mainstream in its heyday.

Hello friend might I recommend the trails series by falcom creators of the acclaimed Ys series

It's true, I still haven't played Trails! I'm sure I'd love it though and do intend to play it at, uh, some point. Board 8's influence on that one is probably like 60% so it'll count for this topic when it happens.

Actually, I don't know if I credit Board 8 in particular for this, but I ended up playing Metal Gear Solid because of its contest success so I could see what the big deal was.

Oh, and there's obviously Umineko, too.

I don't think I've played any game with board 8's influence. Closest I guess would be games selected by Game of the Month.

I played both Trails and Ace Attorney without any influence from board 8.

Definitely Umineko and Nier were both board 8 influenced, though

Not much if we exclude Game of the Month Club. All I can think of are:

- Persona 3
- God Hand
- Nier
- Ever17

There was one hit (Persona), one neutral (Nier), and two whiffs (God Hand and E17). With Persona being something that I went on to buy multiple future entries, that's really the best you can hope for.

The only one that really comes to mind is persona. And I might have eventually played that. Like I heard about undertale on b8 but that game was so present on like everything and rather accessible so I think I would have played it anyways.

Danganronpa

It's why I've had a grudge against b8 for years

But actually tons of games mentioned here I probably wouldn't have played without b8. Suikoden is one that hasn't been mentioned yet.

Many

Ace Attorney, Katamari, Final Fantasy 5, Life is Strange, Journey, Hotline Miami, EarthBound, Ocarina of Time (seriously), Sonic Adventure 2 and even Smash Bros.

Very wide spectrum there when it comes to personal enjoyment, but mostly good.

I'm not original, I definitely played Phoenix Wright thanks to b8, with some pushing from palmer

whats funny is that most games I've played thanks to b8 I thought sucked

I played Tales of Phantasia outside of b8, so when b8 wouldn't shut the hell up about ToS, I had hopes

naw

b8 gave the thumbs up to FFXII

Naw

b8 nudged me to buy Phantasy Star 2

NAW

If yall were the reason why I bought Lunar Dragon Song back then, I would've stabbed all of you

Anything I got from a b8er. Which probably means Trails, Undertale, FFX (potentially later FFs in general)... Dunno what else comes to mind.

In some sense, I got them because I had them on my wishlist through a secret santa, which they were on my wishlist because of B8 mostly. FFX was more a case of realizing I probably just should put FFs on there.

Another one I totally, shamefully forgot: Night in the Woods is my favorite game ever now, and I highly doubt I would have even played it if Bane hadn't gifted it to me as part of our Steam Secret Santa.

The same goes for West of Loathing and Lolo, though I didn't wind up liking that game nearly as much. If you count contests as B8's influence, I doubt I would have given Undertale or Doki Doki Literature Club! a look otherwise.
