Which one is better?

[Meiko]

I need a suggestion! I want to buy a new RPG, but I don't know which one to choose among these three: Suikoden V, Grandia III and Star Ocean Till the End of Time.

Which one is better? I liked Grandia II a lot, and I've heard Suikoden games are good, but never played any of them. I was going to buy Suikoden III but it seems to be a rare game and I cannot find it at an affordable price. I don't know anything about Star Ocean, apart that it is good.

Please help! :(

Well, if you're tight on money I'd go for Star Ocean since its one of the Greatest Hits now. Definitely a great game for a great price.

Star Ocean by far. There is so much to do with this game, not to mention the great story and gameplay.

Thank you, I'll keep your suggestion in mind :)

I haven't played any Suikoden games either. Which among them is better? III is rated higher than all the others.

I'm stating this now. I am NOT a Suikoden fan. I know, it shocked me too, being an RPGamer and all.

Anyways, out of my own personal tastes and gameplay, I prefered the 4th game the best. Your characters made their moves separately instead of one action for two people. I have yet to try the new Tactics or Suikoden V, but i'll get back to you on that. Still having fun with DQVIII, DDSI & DDSII.
