Suikoden IV
I recently finished playing Suikoden IV, and it was awesome. The Suikoden series are my all-time favorite RPGs, and I always can't wait for the next US release. Usually I buy it on the day it comes out, and spend the next 40 hours or so playing it. If you know me, you know how important food is to me. Well, I will skip meals to play Suikoden without breaking. This time, I waited until after ShmooCon to buy the game, because I knew I wouldn't have the discipline to not play the game if it was in the house, and there was a lot of work to do to get ready for ShmooCon.
Overall, I still liked Suikoden II the best. I have memorized the Kobold dance, and if you've played the game, you'll know exactly what I'm talking about. But, Suikoden IV is better than III, which I thought was just OK. Other people thought III's trinity system was annoying because each of the three main characters had to be brought through the same scene. If you've never heard of Suikoden, and you like turn-based RPGs, run out and pick them up! You can tell me what you think of the Kobold dance.
