Secret of Mana 1 & 2 (Seiken Densetsu 2 & 3). Then FFVI and VII I guess.
 
Re: Who play's RPG's? What's your favorite?

FFVI definitely. And since I consider the Fire Emblem games to be RPGs as well (well, sorta :p), Fire Emblem: Chronology of Holy War is another one.

Haha yeah, definitely sort of. :zodd: I've only played Fire Emblem: Rekka no Ken on GBA but I liked it a lot (more than Advance Wars), I just wish it would have been longer.

I like tactical RPGs in general, a fine and often refreshing subgenre.
 
Re: Who play's RPG's? What's your favorite?

man there are so many good RPG's out there.

Final Fantasy Series has always been good for the most part.

Tales series (tales of destiny, tales of symphonia, etc.)

Breath of fire series.

heck me personally also ive been hooked on Everquest for like 4 years. I love RPG's dont know if i can really cop it up to a favorite....but if i had to i think perhaps it would be Xenosaga I loved that game.. lots of story lots of development nice fighting system ^^

Final Fight VI
Xenogeezers
FFTictacs (strategery RPGs count, right?)
Chronic Trigger
Secret of Mononucleosis
Lufia II

I've sort of fallen out of favor with RPGs in the last... oh... decade.

Well that's my little list for fav videogames and i didn't include TRPGs as that would burst the intended brevity.

Diablo II

Same here, I imported Grandia on the Saturn when it came out and have always loved it ever sinse. It has one of the best battle systems I've ever played. The english version is on the PS, but the voice-actors are pretty bad. Grandia 2 also kicks major ass.

The Baldur's Gate series will always take the cake in my book though.

Re: Who play's RPG's? What's your favorite?

I'm glad a few people listed Parasite Eve but no Vagrant Story? That arguable is one of Square's best games ever and the man behind it was also behind FF Tactics and is the guy making well needed Changes to FF XII.

I really enjoyed Vagrant Story's theatrics, but the gameplay and dungeon crawling without a soundtrack got quickly tiresome. It could have been an amazing game, but it fell short in my opinion.

Good story and characters though.
 
Re: Who play's RPG's? What's your favorite?

Baldur's Gate... The very first one... (Anyone here play before?)




I wondered if that can be considered as RPG in the first place...

I don't see why not. It's a PC RPG, not a console RPG. Other than that, there's no reason to diqualify it.

I can't get into roll-based RPG battle systems.
Attack!
miss
Attack!
miss
Attack!
1 damage given.
Attack!
500 damage given.
Attack!
miss.

Fun stuff.

That true...

Then I guess orginial BG has the best storyline not mentioning its AD&D base :badbone:


As you mentioned.. I like that stuff too

Sarevok: Attack Khalid
Khalid: 15+7 = 22 (Hit)
Sarevok- Damage taken (22)
Sarevok: 20+8 = 28 (Critical Hit)
Khalid- Critical Hit averted by Helmet
Khalid- Damage taken (25)
...


Hehehe :carcus:

Yeah, NIS is one of the best producers of TRPG out there. I'm eagerly awaiting to snatch Disgaea 2 from my local import dealer^^ 02.23.2006 is practically around the corner^^

Oh yes, what is this about... SUIKODEN TACTICS?!!?! :isidro:

Rhapsodia? Yeah, i'm planing to make that a gift from myself for myself on xmas.^^ Critics seem to favour that title..but i'm much more looking forward to Suikoden 5, which will reintroduce lots of old mechanisms, especially for for the battle system. I nearly peed my pants over that news, heh^^
 
Re: Who play's RPG's? What's your favorite?

My favorites would include:
Grandia II
Skies of Arcadia
Evolution <-- even though it got some craptacular reviews I thought the battle system was innovative and pretty fun, but its been a while since I've played it
Shenmue Series (if you count that as an RPG)
Chrono Trigger
and Earthbound :)

I was actually deprived of Videogames as a kid... Had an NES, and Dreamcast... and have an Xbox, bout it really.

(If you're wondering how I've played Chrono Trigger and Earthbound without owning an SNES it was using an emulator in middle school.)

Re: Who play's RPG's? What's your favorite?

I'm not the biggest RPG fan, but of those that I've played these were the most memorable (or at least took most of my time):
Final Fantasy VII -good, prob. my first rpg...
Final Fantasy X - man that was disappointing, the rpg elements were decent, I suppose.
Shenmue - quit cause i got tired of doing things that were mundane even by game standards (guess I just sucked at it or something)
Diablo 1/2 -don't think that counts, as they're barely rpgs. But I did play the heck outta them :)
Ultima Online - the "original" mmorpg, damn it was addicting. I know now to beware of this genre, as it consumes you.
