I'm interested in getting Eternal Mana but don't have enough money at the moment. Probably not for another couple months. It's frustrating though, because NIS makes so few copies of their games that even that short amount of time could be too late to buy the game.
meh.

You know, I've always heard this, but I had no problem picking up Disgaea, La Pucille and Phantom Brave months after release. I wouldn't wait too long, but I don't think they're that hard to come by if you wait a couple of months, though you probably won't find it at Walmart or Best Buy (Fry's, for example, seems to stock a bunch of more obscure titles).

Well, Disgaea did get a re-release. But in general, NIS and Atlus titles get very limited releases. sadly. 
You wouldn't believe the trouble I went through to get Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne.

Well, I guess it depends on how long you wait. They're usually not big enough games to go greatest hits (though Phantom Brave did go down to 20 bucks retail), and sales are few and far between. If you wait until they go on clearance, you'll probably miss out.
Still not as bad as Ogre Battle 64, or even Tactics Ogre for the GBA (which I had quite a tough time finding initially).
Argh. I've still got such a backlog of RPGs, but I'm so tempted to get this and Radiata. My Nocturne that I bought a year or so ago is still in it's shrinkwrap...

I might give this a try over the weekend.. the big problem is I just haven't been able to enjoy turn-based RPGs for some time now. I recently tried to replay Lunar, one of my favorites, and got so bored of it not even ten hours in. I'm giving Final Fantasy IX a spin now based on recommendation from somebody I trust and I don't know how long I can make it there either. I think Nintendo has the right idea for turn-based RPGs with Mario & Luigi and Paper Mario. They're both turn based but you get to interact with what's going on at all times, you're not limited to pointing and clicking on a monster and sitting your controller down as you watch the battle unfold.
