@MickeyMouseMac - it's not awkward, it's funny. And I really like pushing enemies to defeat them. But, everyone has their own viewpoint; and I respect peoples' opinions.
The first half of Ys Book I & II can be beaten without the aid of a guide.

Alternatively, you could play Ys Book I & II, and it probably will become your next favorite RPG.

Or your least favorite game, depending on whether or not you can get into the awkward combat system.

What's so awkward about plowing over enemies?

I also have a question about Super Mario RPG: is it like in Mario & Luigi: Partners In Time that you have to press a button to do more damage? Because I found that a bit irritating.

You don't have to, but you can do a timed button press to deal more damage. It's not as necessary as the button presses in the Mario & Luigi games, though. Either way, download Super Mario RPG!

Thank you for the advice. Anything else you think I should download?

You're welcome! You seem like the kind of person that like RPGs, so I recommend Paper Mario (even though it has timed button presses; that comes later, though, and has a tutorial on it) and Ogre Battle 64: Person of Lordly Calibur. Also, any of the Zelda games are great purchases, particularly Ocarina of Time and A Link to the Past. You also seem to like Mario, so you can't go wrong with Super Mario Bros. 3. If you already downloaded any of these, then you have good taste!

Aside from Ogre battle (Which I just read the review of; it looks really awesome) I already have all those games. Thanks again, I have one more question though: is downloading the first final fantasy worth it?

Its even more irritating in SMRPG since you never actually make contact with your enemy, making timing more of a guessing game than anything else.

As for Strategy Games, I'd recommend Shining Force, Ogre Battle, and Uncharted Waters myself. They're all pretty awesome games. Shining Force is more RPG than strategy, though, and Ogre Battle is more of an RTS in a way. There's also Military Madness if you want a more traditional type of strategy game, and if you're looking for a sort-of-tower-defense-game-that-came-out-before-tower-defense-was-even-invented, there's Metal Marines.

As for RPG, the best traditional story-based game that you haven't got is Breath of Fire 2. If you're looking for something a little more old-school, with the emphasis being more on adventure and challenge, look no further than FF1 and Phantasy Star 1. Out of any other game in their class, they do the best job of having an interesting adventure with a balanced challenge that's rarely frustrating so long as you know what you're doing (i.e. don't venture into areas the villagers tell you to avoid, don't run from fights, make sure you got the best armor you can buy, etc.). There's also Fatal Labyrinth if you're looking for a good Rogue-like (actually, its the only rogue-like, and its a bit unfair at times), and Shining in the Darkness if you're looking for a FPRPG that never loses perspective. As for action RPGs, there's Ys Book 1 & 2, which is very good if you don't get turned off by the unorthadox combat system.

That's about all I can recommend. Hope I could be of help.

How's Super Mario RPG? Is it similar to Paper Mario/Mario & Luigi? I love the Mario RPGs, I just want to know how good this one is.
