I was just wondering what every bodys favorite non FF RPG is?

I think mine are A ESIV:OBLIVION, and the ocarina of time if you would call that an rpg it might be an action adventure since theres no leveling or anything

Off the top of my stupid looking hat I'd say Shadow Hearts: Covenant.

The first one was good but left more to be desired, and the third one, while it had some improvements mechanically, wasn't as interesting of entertaining storywise. Plus the voice acting is meh.

I think KOTOR 2 and Xenogears had the most profound impacts on me. Good stuff..

Xenogears for me. It had such a deep story, with great character backgrounds and a pretty good battle system.

I'd be hard pressed to name a single RPG I like most, after all all the games I own and play are liked by me. Some RPGs have had massive influence on me and others have just been merely enjoyable. I would definitely put FFVIII and the Fallout saga up there alongside Mass Effect for without Mass Effect and Fallout 3 I wouldn't have bothered getting Oblivion (I didn't like how clunky my pure unadulterated Morrowind played) Front Mission 3 gave me a huge liking for the SRPG genre since everything about that game from it's infuriatingly difficult battles and it's extensive customisation options just sucked me right in.

If you are one of the ignorant masses who has not yet played Fallout and Fallout 2 then I implore you to acquire these games by any means and play them because they're fantastic you can see Fallout 1 was pretty "basic" by todays sprawling standards but think back to the time when that game was new it's HUGE Fallout 2 imho is still pretty damn huge by todays standards and well worth playing.

I'd also throw in that Suidoken series and Star Ocean RPGs are very good.

Everyone will hate me but I think Suikoden 3.

What was wrong with Suikoden 3, I like it.

My favorite is Digital Devil Saga, both of them.

i like maple story much, but what a pity, i am not good at it. i cant play well and make much more maple story mesos by myself. so i had to spend my money to buy from a site, one site i went is ugamegold. now i play the game everyday, i want to become a super player in the game. on that day, i will make lots of mesos by myself and then i sell to others.lol i can make real money.:bounce:

Its a shame that the only reason why people forgive Suikoden 3 is because Suikoden 4 was a bit more of a step back for the series (seriously, people need to stop trying to compete with Final Fantasy on its terms) but even that is bull cause Suikoden 3 had an excellent plot and cast of characters. Its story telling was truly something to behold and I wish more games would try it. The games' cinematography was exquisite and blew the hell out of anything SE was spewing out back then. :roll2

Also... I like your choices. :D

Personally, I can't really decide on one particular game. I could list a dozen off the top of my head and be unable to choose which I love more than the rest. Persona 3, Xenogears, Final Fantasy Tactics, Chrono Trigger, Shin Megami Tensei 3: Nocturne, Vagrant Story, Suikoden and Final Fantasy VI just to name a few...

Oh sorry. Well this will be a hard one. I haven't played much outside of FF I played Legaia 2, Chrono Trigger (Which I'm mad about because I have yet to beat it)
Arc the Lad Twilight of the Spirits, Super Mario RPG,
Pokemon Blue, Yellow, Silver

Is Threads of Fate an RPG?

I'm not sure here. None of these make me feel anything close to FFIX.

People usually give me hell for preferring Suiko3 over 2, but it's all crazay in their heads.

Shining Force II

That's a great one, not enough people have played it.

But for me, it's either Chrono Trigger or Golden Sun (and the Lost Age. Really, I just think of them as one game).

07-12-2009, 01:33 AM
^ Nice! Golden Sun is an amazing game (II as well) and I haven't seen enough of Chrono Trigger in here.

For me I'd say the two aforementioned, Parasite Eve, Legend of Dragoon, Star Ocean series, and Zelda. There are a lot more, but that would take a lot of space.

Don't feel bad, I love Suikoden 1 the most in that series.

Persona 4!!!!! Despite the battle system being kinda flawed, the story was AMAZING!!!

Kingdom Hearts, if it counts. I love the series.

Elsewise, maybe Persona 3 or 4, though I have finished neither. :/

Oh snap, I forgot I played KH why nobody reminded me?
i have yet to beat P3 either and I can't judge something i haven't played enough. I think I have probably spent the most in with Kingdom Hearts and KHII than most of those except for maybe Pokemon Blue, so if I would have to choose I think it would be Kingdom Hearts II.

Obviously, you two need to be doing something right now. P3 actually has a pretty kick ass ending :cool:

I really like Fable one and two. And a more complicated one that I like is Fallout 3.
It is very awesome, indeed. (:

Nice
07-12-2009, 09:50 PM
Chrono Trigger is my fav. Then there would have to be

Breath of Fire 2 (I think it's an awesome game)

Pokemon Gold/Silver/Crystal (screw the remakes, they just want your money)

Valkyrie Profile

Xenogears ( I need to finish this.)

Vagrant Stroy (I need to finish this too.)

mmmm

Kingdom Hearts and KH2

...I think that's it.

Oh, and Stranded Kids (Survival Kids in some places).

One of the most original RPGs I've ever played. Actually was it even an RPG?

And Chrono Trigger is also amazing!!!

If you count Mass Effect: Mass Effect! If you don't count that sort of game as an RPG: Eh. Lost Odyssey is okay, as is Grandia. Pokémon games are good, too.

S'ok, Mass Effect is first and foremost, a 3rd person shooter/RPG.

Dragon Quest 5 really resonated hardcore with me at this point in my life. Shiren the Wanderer is also notable for being the RPG that changed how I looked at RPGs.
