I'm thinking about picking some up in the summer sale but have no idea where to start with them. Any suggestions?

Some people find it convoluted however.

I think some people that are into RPGs won't admit to themselves that they aren't there for the story. Are there some deeper elements that you might not catch? Of course. But the main plot is at the level of a young adult novel (or less) and isn't convoluted or hard to follow unless you're skipping dialogue.

RPGs have good stories more often than not, but the story telling can be pretty bad, especially in older titles where the translations are really dodgy.

You end up remembering the story much how you remember the graphics. It may not have been presented well, but if the premise/concept is good, your own imagination will make up for the shortfalls.
