Celice Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 Tons. Off the top of a random head, Der Langrisser was fun; Parasite Eve 1 and 2 also quite unique. Destiny of an Emperor 1 and 2. All the Dragon Quests. Yeah; not really in an RPG mood at the moment, so I can't recall many. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephrion Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 I completely agree. The card-based battle system put me off at first, but after buying the game, it really grew on me. A couple other personal favorites are... Skies of Arcadia - The depth of this game is amazing, one of the best RPG's I've ever played. It never really got boring at any point, and with a large amount of sidequests, it kept me playing for quite some time. Golden Sun - Yet another game with great depth and memorable characters. The puzzle solving was very fun, though it got a bit tedious after a while... Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core - Although short in length compared to other RPG's, the storyline kept me hooked. The Action Combat system was enjoyable, and the main character is very likeable. Probably the best part, however, was that even though everyone knows what happens at the end, the presentation was amazing and highly emotional.

Florete Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 Fire Emblem is amazing. Not sure if any of you will have heard of it, though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liz Posted April 5, 2008 Author Share Posted April 5, 2008 a friend of mine claims that riviera the promised land is also a great game, but it is so different from what one usually thinks of RPGs that it hasn't really grown on me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metal Rabbit Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 Tales of Symphonia will always be my favorite. It's characters and story captured my heart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celice Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 Lost Kingdoms 1 and 2 is also a card-like RPG which grew on me. It was like a cult hit--really good stuff if you can get a copy. Arcana back on the SNES was an RPG where all the characters were drawn on cards. It played like the old dungeon crawlers, nice art style, good music, also something to get into if you've the time to try it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juno500 Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 Besides Fire Emblem..... I loved Baten Kaitos Origins as well. I wasn't much of a fan of the first one, so I was really surprised that I enjoyed it as much as I did. The battle system was very intense, I loved every minute of it. Also, Final Fantasy IV-VI were all great. Especially VI. One of the best games I've ever played. Also, Super Mario RPG. Heavenly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NTG Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 Skies of Arcadia is my favourite . I pretty much liked everything about it, and especially since it takes place in the skies. The story and characters were interesting, and I enjoyed some of the features, such as "Discoveries". I'm not what the quality of the music was in the DC version since I played it on GC, but I listened to the OST afterwards and I was blown away. Other good ones were Ys: The Ark of Napishtim and Zwei!!, both ARPGs produced by Nihon Falcom. Great graphics and awesome music! Still haven't finished Ys though, and I didn't actually play Zwei!!, I just watched it... but nevertheless, it was hooking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VincentASM Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 Grandia II - Great battle system, music and a pretty interesting storyline. Lufia II - Like Zelda, but with simpler puzzles and it's a "true" RPG. Great music as well. Plus it's also one of the few RPGs where you get married during the middle of the game Suikoden V - An epic RPG, and I liked how the storyline wasn't just a simple save-the-world one and had a large focus on politics and war tactics. Terranigma - Possibly the best Action RPG ever. Great music and an unique storyline. Ys: The Oath in Felghana - Excellent Action RPG. Quite short, but very fun (and hard). Like other Nihon Falcom games, the music is very good as well (I seem to keep mentioning music for some reason). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephrion Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 Ah, and Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door. I love quirky spin they put on Turn-based battles. It makes the combat feel a bit less monotonous. I was never able to beat the Pit of 100 Trials though... Super Paper Mario was a lot of fun as well, but the fact that they cut out the true RPG elements of it was a bit of a bummer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All 3 Paper Marios are awesome, although I haven't beaten the first 1 yet. You should download it on VC. I haven't beaten the Thousand Year Door either but the final boss is so damn hard.

Like other Nihon Falcom games, the music is very good as well (I seem to keep mentioning music for some reason). I remember trying to get into Ys but never really paid attention too much. The DS remakes (?) of the first and second were released awhile ago-maybe I should check it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ein The DOA Champion Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 Mass Effect for the Xbox 360 is my current favorite. Also, when I used to have a PS2, I borrowed Final Fantasy X and XII from my cousin. Those two Final Fantasy games were great, unfortunately I never got the chance to beat them.

kadajvonkarma Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 The King's Quest series has to be my favorite, especially KQIII. Technically, it was my first RPG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephrion Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 Quest 64 was also a lot of fun. My friend and I would play it all the time... That game needs to be on the Virtual Console ASAP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liz Posted April 9, 2008 Author Share Posted April 9, 2008 yeah, i played quest 64 too and i loved it!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celice Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 Aw, Quest 64 was such a great game. The GameBoy Color version doesn't do it justice, but if you see the 64 version, pick it up fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyrra Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 I remember that game. I never got a little game pak thing so I couldn't save >_< It was very fun though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
