games like DQ8 and nocturne aka lucifers call
allowed quite a lot of customisation for MC
are there many other games like that?

Dark Chronicle has abou 4 or 5 costumes for both main characters from what I remember. As well as loads of customisations for the ridepod robot.

Actually, I still haven't beaten Front Mission 4. I'll probably play that more once I read all the new posts on here tonight.

Bioware's Knights of the Old Republic allowed for quite a bit of MC customization. Jade Empire, as well

Nippon Ichi games allow for a lot of character customization for your whole battle party.

Oh, yeah, the KOTOR games had some EPIC customization.

My dual-wielding no-armor-wearing force-pushing lightsaber chick was a beast.

The KOTOR games are semi-turn-based RPG's that run on the D20 system, like Dungeons and Dragons.

...

D20 = 20 sided die. It's the basic probablility generator used for Dungeons and Dragons and many, if not all, of its various clones and spin-offs.

Not many good ones.

I've tried a few D&D-style games, and the only one I've liked was KOTOR and KOTOR 2.

If you've ever played Diablo, the damage in that game is based off of a simliar system.

FE games are based off of a similar system.

FE?

Ummm...

Nope. I've got no idea what you're talking about.

Fire Emblem and I am correcting my post. It's an RNG that FE games utilize, not D20.

RNG = Random Number Generator.

FINAL FANTASY uses a random number generator >.>

Ah, yes. THAT'S what I was trying to think of. I knew there was a series of games that was supposed to make extensive use of the d20 gameplay mechanics, but I couldn't think of it for the life of me. That's the one, though.

I've only played one of those games, anyway. I hated it.
