If you like RPGs suikoden (all of them) are some of my favorite games ever.

I wanted to play shadow hearts but the lack of availability of the game coupled with the middling reviews made me not bother

All three are great but I'd start with Shadow Hearts.

There's an HD remaster of Suikoden 1 + 2 coming out soon. I'd wait for that.

Grandia. Top-tier combat system, story is pretty good too, and the characters are pretty well done as well.

Shadow Hearts, I'd say. Great series.

I've never played the first one, but Shadow Hearts 2 is super fun. 3 is good. I'd imagine 1 is good as well.

Ignore the reviews. The Shadow Hearts series is a national treasure.

Grandia is great with more charm than those others. Go for that.

Suikoden is short but amazing. You won't feel burnt out ever.

Out of those three, Grandia is the best so save it for last.

Play Suikoden first, it's short and mostly easy.
I 108'd it without guide.

I don't think there ever has been a full rpg story told in such a short run time and it still winds up being wholly satisfying too.

Shadow Hearts is great. Definitely highly recommended. The 2nd one gets way more light hearted but still obvs worth playing. Third one is a real oddball but it still has its moments. I was already conditioned by the second that three would likely be wackier and probably bad, but it wasn't bad honestly.

Also one of the few games to use acoustic guitars. Love it so much.

^ Yep the music rules in Suikoden 1 as well. Back then I'd honestly consider it like a 9 or 10 outta 10 game. I still think it's probably really great.

Always something special about acoustic instruments, especially in video games. Also, a certain theme. ;_;
