      @scottalanmiller Same here. Don't mind a classic JRPG once in a while though.

      I loved the Dragon Warrior (Dragon Quest in Japan) series (1 to 4 or 5) back on my NES. Then I left the console realm and never really played the series again. I keep meaning to buy the ones I can for other platforms now, just haven't.

        My favorite of all those games was Legend of Dragoon, which I believe was a Sony PlayStation 1 exclusive. VERY lengthy game, came on 4 discs.

            Dragon Quest VII on the PS2 is one of my favorite games ever!!

              PS2 was the best console, such a great library spanning so many genres.

                  The EMotion Engine chip really broke a lot of ground.

                    Yes. Lots of good technology in there. Dream cast was awesome too.

                      Do you remember the fish-man game? I was never sure whether I really enjoyed that.

                      Speaking of DreamCast i was addicted to Soul Caliber for the longest time.

                          @Hubtech Such a wonderful game. 3 was a disappointment, but 4 was a true successor. Actually looking at building a custom GT4 themed PS2 for myself, probably out of Walnut wood with a nice dark stain.

                            With Leonard Nimoy. How could I forget? That thing was insane.

                              I had to Wiki that... He was the NARRATOR. That makes it 1000x better.

                                      I'm running an AMD Athlon 64x2 with 4GB of RAM, nVidia 560TI, and Kingston SSD. It isn't much, but plays FFXIV on high settings with no issues.

                                        Wow. That's even below my system. Surprised that it does that well.

                                        You really don't need too much these days.

                                          now that's funny. My friend who upgrade his machine last year to a 8 core AMD setup is already wanting to upgrade again. This time the current i7 with 16 Gig RAM, he might look for a faster SSD too.

                                            I have spent way too much on my gaming rig..

                                            Core
                                            Obsidian 800D Corsair Case

                                            Cooling

                                            Hanns-G HL272HPB Black 27" 2ms LED Monitor (x3)
                                            Razer Naga
                                            Razer Blackwidow 2013 Ultimate Mechanical Keyboard

                                            Storage
                                            60GB SSD for OS, 250GB SSD for Games, 2TB for Misc.

                                            I started with budget parts and now pre-ordered some of my components. These are my preferences based off of that.

                                            Corsair for Cases, RAM, Coolants
                                            EVGA for Mobos, GPUs
                                            Mushkin or g.Skill for RAM
                                            Intel for CPU (some great AMD's out there though)

                                            Had great luck with EVGA and Corsair's customer service and RMA processes.
