So what happens if Night and Taiyo brofist?

Does that mean it's dawn or dusk?

Or do they fight each other for time of day supremacy?
interesting...

Yeah, I'd definitely say KOTOR.  Those games were great, I thought.

Just about any of the Shin Megami Tensei games, INCLUDING the free MMORPG.

Both Parasite Eve games (although the second, being a cheap knockoff of the Resident Evil engine, drops much of the RPG elements of the game and ends up being not even remotely as awesome as the first).

Battle Moon Wars (and its parent series, Super Robot Wars, and all its spinoffs).

Those are all I can think of off the top of my head.

Astro Boy on the GBA let you put points into various power ups 'n stuff if I remember right. The cool part about that game was how all of the abilities were useful. You had your little laser thing which was great for clearing rows of enemies, air dashing to get some of the aerial foes, and regular ol' punching just because it's awesome to knock a few screws loose with your fist. The super abilities were great as well; and each one had their own uses depending on the situation. There was the super laser for taking on one foe, and the machine gun for hitting everything.

If I remember, Sonic Battle. You put points into Emerl for customization for moves. Then, there's Dragonball Z Budokai, the series. Other than that there's also Sonic Chronicles, however, I find it a little broken on this one, once your main 'hog Levels up, everyone else does during party organization, broken I say. =/

Well, Super Robot Wars or any other tactical game lets you customize your units, say Advance Wars and Fire Emblem. Don't forget in Shin Megami Tensei's Pokemon Knockoff, DemiKids, you can customize yer demon, as well as other breeders.

RPGs pretty much let you use points for characters, anyway. Then there's sports and such, but I won't get into details there. Some fighters do let you customize your fighter, as stated. Oh, there's Sigma Star Saga, if anyone remembers that title.

So its about ass now huh? EVEN THE ASS HAS 'EXCEEDED'!

One mention of LEGENDS and everyone goes batshit.  :\

Yep, every time when someone mentions that game people get energized for an apparent reason whatsoever. It's like this everywhere else, trust me.

It got really messy to find my sprite and comic topic, so it's in my sig.

What Fire Emblem game let's you put the points into the stats you want? The only thing they have are items that boost stats, and that's kind of outside of the point. Same with Advance Wars, you just make stronger units.

Been awhile since I played them, screw me. I must've forgotten I had played Days of Ruin. :P

Ah, I thought maybe you were referring to a Japanese-only game, otherwise I was going to go "DO WANT!". What part in Days of Ruin allowed you put points 'n stuff though? I only remember powering up units by blowing up enemies.

I don't remember, but I think it had to do with the rank and [parasitic bomb] for the maps.. Or maybe not. Advance Wars uses the same engine as it's parent game, Fire Embelem... meh. :\

Disgaea lets you do that when you first create a generic character.. but after that it's standard leveling.

Kinda defeats the purpose of having points to distribute at the beginning.

it's useless in the beginning, but for those who invest in a lot of time and effort into reincarnation, it helps A LOT. You can end up making a mage with several hundred points in their Int. stat at level 1, no equipment.

One thing about Sonic Chronicles, after lvl 21 you don't seem to get points anymore (At least the game was getting faster by the 3rd runthrough!).

Isnt that the ONLY NT? Or are you saying the "Good one" (Which it is, don't get me wrong) to separate from RM.EXE WS?

In fact, I guess Chrono Trigger could be in this list. Because of the Tabs/Capsules.

EXE WS is one of the best, and so is MMNT. <3

Why? They are both side-scrollers~ ^^ </psp>

The worst part about that game was how increasing your attack and defense really didn't do anything, they increased your accuracy and dodge rate, but let's be honest, how many games do you know of where the dodge rate is a huge factor? I can only think of one, Fire Emblem. It's pointless to increase your defense if it doesn't reduce the damage you take since the computer's a cheating bastard when it comes to accuracy.
