These will have everything you'll need to play plus a handful of new base classes and character options. You can add the other books later as you play and decide to incorporate them into your game. Though if you like tooling around the Advanced Race Guide has a new system for generating your own balanced races. With that said, it seems power creep may only be inevitable with additional material, though there have been complaints that many novel options Paizo has published are under-powered. So take that for what you will.Pathfinder is a thriving continuation of 3.5 and I haven't seen anyone assert Pathfinder 'fixed' 3.5e beyond obviously baseless and/or trolling posters. What it did do though was  add some improvements that many 3.5e fans enjoy, as their sales and fan support attest. You'll find base classes have been powered up compared to PrCs and these are no longer the go-to-place for power they were in 3.5e.</blockquote>
