That Chaos Rings sale is Front Page worthy.

[lacedolphin]

Wow, I hardly ever see them have such a big sale!

No sale on Secret of Mana?

FF1 or FF2? I'm new to JRPGs, but I'm enjoying my first one with Chaos Rings. How similar are the FF games to CR and which should I try first? (Or maybe I'll get both, too.)

If you're newer to RPG gaming you might not want to start with FF although it is a classic everyone should play at some point. CR seems to have a cult status with generally favorable reviews so that might be a safer bet to start out with.

I haven't played CR yet but have assumed that the FF games are night and day from CR. I use to obsess over FF in my NES days so I picked it up becuse I like the throw-back turn based RPGs. At times I've wondered if modern Square Enix has taken a detour away from game mechanics towards epic storytelling even at the expense of gameplay (a la FF X which felt like an unending series of cinematics [playstation 2 era]). I wonder if CR falls into that trap.

FF1 and FF2 are similar but not related by storyline just gameplay style/theme so you don't have to play one to enjoy the other but I think FF1 is more popular (I've never played FF2).
