Need some advice on a few games

[erehwon]

I just started at game trading zone just to try it and I got an offer. Someone wants my sealed copy of Blue Dragon and my Xenogears manual. Of the games the person had I was interested in:

Suikoden II (disk only)
Albert Odyssey (I think it is complete)

What do you guys think of those two games? I'm kind of tempted by Albert Odyssey since I hardly have anything for the saturn. I might have to throw in something else to make it a fair trade.

I'm also tempted by Suikoden II. I have the guide and it would be nice to have the game as well. How is this game? I've never really played any of the games in this series. I'm a little unsure on this one since I'd rather have a complete copy, but I might have to settle.

I'm a little burnt out on RPGs right now and I'm kind of thinking of declining the offer and looking for something else. I'm just not sure if I'll ever get to these. I am tempted though to trade in Blue Dragon and some other games at a local game store to pick up a complete copy of one of the Lunar PS1 games. The collector in me is interested in picking up one of those since I only have disk only copies. I've also heard good things about those games and actually want to play those. I'm not really sure on what to go with.

never played suikoden II but I played albert odyssey at a freinds when I was young. it seemed kinda weird but then again thats was many years ago>:-P

Suikoden II probably has the best story line in the series...nothing special though you get the 108 stars (characters) etc. I mean your giving up the Xenogears manual and a medicore RPG. So I would go with it.

I wouldn't think about it too much. I doubt the other trader will part with either game. Albert Odyssey can fetch $50ish and Suikoden 2 disk only can fetch $60-80ish. Isn't Blue Dragon $20-25 now? If you can get it, Suikoden 2 is an amazing game. I haven't had a chance to play Albert Odyssey yet.

albert odyssey is a nice game and usually is found minty since owners tend to care for such releases well. I bought a mint copy at a pawnshop (it looked brand spanking new just not sealed) sold it for what I paid-50 bucks

Thanks for letting me know the value of these. I understand the value of Albert Odyssey, but I don't agree on Suikoden II. If it was complete, maybe. Disk based games in my mind drop in value considerably if they are disk only. Or at least, what I'm willing to pay drops. Disk only to me implies a rental or a game that someone might not have taken the best care of the game. It doesn't mean that the current owner was the one that neglected the game. They might have gotten it that way as well.

For any of you that were wondering, I'm not giving up the manual from my copy of Xenogears. I would be trading an extra manual I found at McVans. They were getting rid of a bunch of their extra manuals.

I say go for the trade, even if you don't really want either game you can easily replace your sealed blue dragon + manual by selling either of the games then use the leftover profits to buy whatever you want (like the psx lunar)

I got Blue Dragon for $15 at Target on clearance last week. :)
