Well, Ambrienne, I finally started giving Disgaea a try after all the awesomeness on here. The battle system is going to take some getting used to, especially those strange 'geo' things that can help or hinder or take out my prinnies if destroyed in the wrong area, but I'm willing to give it a fair go. And yes, did have to try throwing a prinny in battle just to see how it happened. ;D

God of War Collection....
Mind blowing.
The game has indeed been completely remasterd for HD, and it is incredible. The soundtrack is epic, and the simple total carnage Kratos unleashes is satisfying beyond belief.

Currently replaying: Growlanser V: Heritage of War. ...I'd totally forgotten how much money you had to sink into training Korin for the fairy contests. Bleh. So, Solana... Tell me the truth. The prinny going 'kaboom' was really fun. Wasn't it? Heh, heh... Just wait until you look on geo cubes/panels as your friends, not your enemies. ...Though, come to think of it, I don't like blowing up prinnies unless they're on the enemy side. That whole 'no ally kills' condition n' all.

In a PS1 fix right now. Been hitting Legend of Dragoon pretty hard in between study sessions. Trying to max everyone's additions and Dragon Levels is tough.

(Looks down in shame.) Yes. Yes it was. Those little guys and gals are really growing on me, and at least- (looks around for our sheriff, then whispers) -we got some of them working for us in our time-traveling bathroom instead of having to haul stolen goods. I'm working on Episode 2 now, and Flonne... is the cutest assassin ever! The one-liners in here are priceless. I'm also starting to get the hang of those cubes and setting up for combos, especially with Etna wielding a spear. And now I'm even more excited for your projects. ;D

Going through runs of Mana Khemia 1 & 2. And I think my PS2 has stopped playing dual-layered discs now. Gonna have to trade in Dynasty Warriors 6.

Alas, poor Skylark . . .
Currently on the very tail end of Wild ARMS 3--I'll probably finish it up on Christmas Eve at the latest. Then it'll be time to decide whether to go on to 4 or give my poor grouchy old PS2 a break and play that, er, *unofficial* translation of Lunar Walking School instead.

While I can't say whether Walking School was good or bad, I can vouch for WA4 being good. One word of warning, though. While I loved the playthrough, the ending left the same taste in my mouth as the end of Monty Python and the Holy Grail. "How can that be the end?"

Walking School supposedly has the encounter rate from hell, but the fact that I would be going in expecting it might help. The reason I'm a bit reluctant to start WA4 is that I played through 2 right before 3, and I'm afraid I might start to get a bit burned out. (WA3 does bring a nice touch of originality to the console RPG world, though, between the pseudo-Wild West setting and the fact that one of the main characters is not only an adult, but happily married, with a young daughter--I can't think of a single other instance of that.)

Yeah. I thought that was freakin' awesome. But that is part of the beauty of the Wild Arms games. They are have those original aspects to keep you interested. WA- First game, high fantasy aspect, wild west feel in the destinations, music, and gameplay, one of the few RPGs to combine fantasy and guns well, good story about saving and reviving the world, straight forward feel. WA2- Organization based, more characters, west feel mainly only in the towns and music, very original story for all six characters, a more active role for the guardians, evolution for battle system by removing MP. WA3- High willd west aspect, lower end of fantasy, evolution of standard turn based system to moving during standard turned based play, 4 characters fight instead of 3, story based more on the revitalization of the world than the saving of it from an enemy. WA4- Almost no wild west theme, guardians take a back seat, characters have a major role to play for each other, evolution of battle system again to hex based, very character driven story. WA5- West theme is back, slavery added as a story feature, further refinement of the hex system, character skills, and equipment, still revitalizing the world, old and new heroes (in a very Lunar fashion), story that had me wondering what was going on at points, and EVERY PARTY MEMBER FROM EVERY WILD ARMS GAME IS HIDDEN SOMEWHERE IN THE GAME. And thoughout it all, none of them loose the Wild Arms feel. There's something special with that series. I especially like that you can follow the evolution of the battle system from one game to the next. Don't worry about burning out too much.

Alright. I have $250. Planning to get a PSP and trading in some stuff.
What is recommended and what else would I need besides a memory stick?
I think Star Ocean: FD and Crisis Core are amongst the cheaper games.
Thoughts?

I'd say think about a movie or two. There are some pretty good ones for cheap. A soft case is a good thing to have too, or a G-pack if you can find it. I picked up a used psp G-pack for $2.99. One of my better finds.

A couple hours into Dragon Age...me likes it so far. The elf hand maiden I got to come to my room in the opening sequence got shot through the neck by an arrow as soon a she opened the door later that night. My only complaint so far is it seems my dual wielding is limited to sword and dagger
