Like I said in my little blurb, I thought that only the controls had aged poorly and the rest held up quite well. Perhaps my expectations were just set very low since it is such an old game but I was pleasantly surprised.
It's a good one! Does he like story-heavy AND horror? It's a pretty great combo here.
My wife was watching me play but even so it was still pretty scary, and we had to watch Parks & Rec afterwards so that she'd be able to go to sleep lol. Playing the whole thing in one sitting would be pretty awesome but man, that's a lot of gaming in one night.
So you never actually finished the story? The final scene is sooooo tense O_O
I just beat Virtue's Last Reward about two weeks ago! It took me over 47 hours O_O But man, it was so good! I still need to get Zero Time Dilemma as well, and the new Phoenix Wright! Too many good games to play.
The Wii U is a great investment 
I'm planning to get DQVII will probably have to wait till the end of the year when my ridiculous amount of overtime hits lol. I definitely want to get it before it becomes really scarce, as I'm sure will happen.
I played the original God Eater on PSP and am actually in God Eater 2 right now on PS4. These games are the most fun with some other people. Also: SO ANIME lol
I only played The Sands of Time out of that trilogy but man, what a great game! I played through the whole thing twice. The Forgotten Sands was a recent PS+ game that I'm hoping to play at some point.
Well I know which of those I'd recommend 
And you may well enjoy it. Like I said, it's not bad but it's firmly B-tier at best and the expectations (which I believe were mostly justified) were so much higher. I'd be interested in your opinions when you finally get to it.
Your character from the 360 will carry over to the X1 though, so at least you won't lose anything. Rise of Iron doesn't support the older consoles anyway, so that works out for you. But I know it's not cheap buying for the new systems.
