Favorite RPG series (As much as you like)

[crashNUMBERS]

I wanna avoid giving people a hard time thinking what over what and it's in no order...

Final Fantasy
Seiken Densetsu
Tales
Fire Emblem
Star Ocean
Chrono
Phantasy Star

And there might be more I can't think of at the moment...

[kikimm]

Does it count as a series if there's only been one game so far? Otherwise I'll be forced to go with Final Fantasy.

[ff7+ff10 gurl 100]

Final Fantasy of course

[edczxcvbnm]

Chrono
Tales
.hack

Xeno use to be on the list but then Episode II happened. Xenogears is still one hell of an excellent game though.

Say KH if you want!!

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

Xenogears is seperate from Xenosaga and I wouldn't count them as the same series.

Thus, Xenogears.

[crashNUMBERS]

RPG series

[The Man]

Probably Dragon Quest, Genso Suikoden, or Shadow Hearts. I haven't really played enough of any series to count myself a proper fan though; there is at least one entry in each series that I still haven't played, even though they've been out for over a year apiece. But then, I still haven't played all the Final Fantasy games, either, so whatever. ;)

[Luc]

Shadow Hearts, Suikoden, and uh, that's all I can think of. I'll get back to you on this. <.<

[bipper]

Xenogears is seperate from Xenosaga and I wouldn't count them as the same series.

Thus, Xenogears.

Way I heard it, Xenogears is base on a series of books, and xenogears was like the fifth installment or somthing. Dunno, thought it was worth bringing up. Cause I dun even know it its true; but I have just heard it from a handfull of people.

It is which is why I still say Xenogears :)

[Erdrick Holmes]

Phantasy Star.

Don't go around the swear filter, please. - Hsu

[crashNUMBERS]

Oh yeah, I forgot about that...

[GooeyToast]

Chrono
FF
Kingdom Hearts
Seiken Densetsu
Mother (Earthbound)

[Shoeberto]

Fallout, Xeno, Diablo

While Xenogears is the fifth chapter in a massive story it is the only written story in any format. Xenosaga was to be a rebirth of the series with a new start with similarities to the Xenogears.

The other 5 chapters of the Xenogears story are talked about briefly in the book Xenogears Perfect Works(which I actually own). All the chapters from 1-4 are described a bit in the game. 1 - 3 not so much. Chapter 4 you actually get to learn quite a bit about.

If anyone has more information or if I have made a mistake then please correct me.

[Rengori]

Does it count if Makai Kingdom has a hell of a lot references to Disgaea, but it's not in the actual series? Otherwise I'll also be forced to FF...

[black orb]

>>> Final Fantasy and Suikoden..

[Dreddz]

Final Fantasy
Alundra
Dark Cloud/chronicle

[Aphelion]

Final Fantasy and Star Ocean, probably.

[Perducci]

Suikoden, Breath Of Fire, Final Fantasy

[Maxico]

Shenmue. Totaly.

That is if it even counts as an RPG.

[Crossblades]

In this order

Final Fantasy
Tales
Fire Emblem
Breath of Fire
Dragon Warrior

[Vermachtnis]

Shadow Hearts
Tales
Final Fantasy
Digimon World

[Endless]

With the exception of FFX and FFX-2, no FF game is connected to another. In the NIS games, at least characters make cameos from one game to another.

Anyway, my favorite series: Seiken Densetsu. I've started a new game of LoM a few days ago, and I still <3<3 it.

[crashNUMBERS]

Me too. LoM = God RPG

[Traitorfish]

Hmm, err, let me see
FINAL FANTASYBit obvious, no?
Apart from that, Morrowind was pretty good... I liked Monkey Hero, at least, the three hours of it I played before getting insanely stuck... it's really for hyper-active Japanese kids, not westerners...

[Leon2k]

I have to go with :-

Final Fantasy
Kingdom Hearts
Shadow Hearts
Dark Cloud
Star Ocean

No it's


FINAL FANTASY

[Markus. D]

awww, my fave rpgs are not in a series :( (apart from ff)

Final Fantasy
Tenchu (you role play an assassin, it counts)
Crimson Sea

I cant think of anything else thats in a series for now, sorry

[nik0tine]

Xenogears is seperate from Xenosaga and I wouldn't count them as the same series.

Thus, Xenogears.

[fantasyjunkie]

Mine is the old Ultima series on the PC. You could determine how many people you wanted in your party, npcs aways walked around doing their thing and went to bed at night, you could also interact with literally any object in the game.

[Skyblade]

Does it count as a series if there's only been one game so far? Otherwise I'll be forced to go with Final Fantasy.
Say KH if you want!!

Kingdom Hearts also has Chain of Memories, so it's a series.

Golden Sun
Kingdom Hearts
Final Fantasy
Shining Force (at least some of them)
Fire Emblem
Chrono Trigger (I haven't played Cross yet, but I will sometime)
The Legend of Zelda

[crashNUMBERS]

Two games arent a series. But KH is coming out with another so go ahead...

[Spammerman]

Kh and zelda

[Maxico]

Two games arent a series. But KH is coming out with another so go ahead...


se·ries Audio pronunciation of "series" ( P ) Pronunciation Key (sîrz)
n. pl. series

1. A number of objects or events arranged or coming one after the other in succession.

Nowhere is the amount of objects required for a series defined.

And I really fail to see how the amount of games in a series would affect it in any way. As long as there is a second game out (or released in the near future) then the difference is negligible.

Would you really count Darkcloud as a series??

[Maxico]

Would you really count Darkcloud as a series??

Yes, I personaly see Dark Cloud 1 and 2 as a series as they shared many similar elements and there is a possibility of a Dark Cloud 3.

Now you could argue that the games are very different but the amount of games released doesn't really come into it.

I don't see how it is any less of a series than if it had three games.


Now if we look at Shenmue, which has a very consistant story line throughout the games. Not to mention that the second game consists of many "chapters" of the over all series (compared to just one in the first game). That only has two games but it is very clear that it is a series.

And once again a series is merely more than one object arranged in succession. If there is more than one game under the same name that shares the characteristics of the previous game/s then it is a series. The amount of games is arbitrary.

[crashNUMBERS]

Alright then. Want something from me??

[Traitorfish]

Tenchu (you role play an assassin, it counts)

Not the same thing. By those standards, you could say that you role play as MC in Halo. Role playing requires a greater level of character involvement in the game.

[Maxico]

Alright then. Want something from me??

To stop debasing others opinions based on your own (debatable) definition of a series?
I think that was given.

[crashNUMBERS]

Your wish is my command. Anything else??

[Rengori]

YOU called Makai Kingdom and Disgaea a series.

[Giga Guess]

.Hack at the moment.

I think it was supposed to prove Makai Kingdom in Disgaea were in a series, even though Crash has never played Makai Kingdom.

It also proved that two games ARE indeed a series.

[Rengori]

I still don't think they're a series.

[kikimm]

Well, I actually wasn't talking about KH. :D

I'm going with Drakengard.

[crashNUMBERS]

To avoid you guys trying to take me down this can be about favorite RPGs (Single) aswell. That better??

[edczxcvbnm]

No. Now it is worse as it goes against the thread. Just let people post and pwn them when they say something stupid.

Those who said only Xenogears need a serious kick in the crotch as 1 game isn't a series!

*kicks /xxx.gif/xxx.gif/xxx.gif/xxx.gif head in the crotch*

[crashNUMBERS]

Thank you edAL. Join me in proving people wrong?? Spreading the smarts. Showing the brains??

[?????]

If Zelda counts as an RPG, then it is far and away my favorite. Chrono comes next, followed by Final Fantasy, and then the KOTOR series. I judge video game series based on their percentage of quality games. FFVII, for example, has as much quality as the best of the other series, but the FF series has had a few duds. Not once has a Zelda game been honestly bad. The same goes for Chrono, though at only two games in the series it doesn't have quite as much of a claim.

[Maxico]

Oh the irony.


Face it. Most of you guys can't take me down (http://www.rpgamer.com/games/games.html)

Well look at that, Both Dark Cloud and Shenmue are listed. Seems that the person most adept at "taking you down" is yourself.

Takes one to know one as I know myself pretty well...

[Rengori]

Mega Man
· Mega Man Battle Chip Challenge
· Mega Man Battle Network
· Mega Man Battle Network 2
· Mega Man Battle Network 3
· Megaman Battle Network 4 Red Sun & Blue Moon
· Mega Man Battle Network 5
· Mega Man X Command Mission

BATTLE NETWORK AND X AREN'T THE SAME SERIES!

[crashNUMBERS]

But they're part of the megaman RPG franchise...

[raskerino]

Final Fantasy
Shadow Hearts
Xenosaga

[Rengori]

But they're part of the megaman RPG franchise...
They aren't in the same series though!

[crashNUMBERS]

Yeah they are. Hey. Illusion of Gaia and Terranigma are in the same series as Soul Blazer yet they don't have the same names now do they?

[Rengori]

Then again, this is coming from a fan site.

[crashNUMBERS]

Yeah and so is this site. You can believe any little site with support and try to back it up while dissing other fan sites. Well no. I believe this site and megaman BN abd X command mission are in the same series. Case closed...

[Rengori]

Megaman Battle Network and Megaman X are technically not in the same series.

[crashNUMBERS]

*Sigh* You've gotten me to a point where I can't take it...

Look

Final Fantasy is a series correct?? And FFMQ is a game in it though it's not part of the main series. Yeah it's a side game from the real series but it is still a game in the series. Just like mega man. If you think about it. Any megaman game, RPG or platformer, is still part of the series. Look. It has the name in it correct?? That's part of what you've been nagging about the whole time. The name. It shares the same series name. Thought that doesn't mean crap. Soul Blazer and Terranigma. Totally different names. Same series. Megaman and MM Battle network. Same series. Same name. Name doesn't mean a thing.. Like I said before. Final Fantasy = FFMQ. Same series. So for me to end this aslong as it has the customary use of the earlier game in the series or if it is officially announced then it is a part of the series...

I rest my case....

[Rengori]

*Sigh* You've gotten me to a point where I can't take it...
Yay!

40 bucks you didn't read what I said.. At all...

[Rengori]

40 bucks you didn't read what I said.. At all...
Gimme my 40 bucks.

[crashNUMBERS]

Didn't think so.

[Rengori]

I read your post! I just don't like being proven wrong.

[crashNUMBERS]

I told you not to try...

[Rengori]

I didn't obey that part. Now gimme my 40 bucks!

[Big D]

Okies, thanks for sharing your in-thread conversation, fellas. Please use Private Messages if you want to chat...

Zelda

FF series

[crashNUMBERS]

Your like ma friend, Link, Over there. That's not a bad thing...

[Cipher]

Hmm... I'm the only one that seems to like the Grandia series thus far. =/ A shame, they're great games.

Other than that? .hack, Xenosaga, Zelda, Super Mario (YES, I went there! :p )

[Giga Guess]

Hey, Super Mario RPG, Paper Mario, and Paper Mario 2:TTYD....he's RPG, AND a series, so...:p

[crashNUMBERS]

Mario is not an RPG. How can a person even be an RPG?? And yes. They are all Role Playing Games but still part of the main series...

[Yuber]

The suikoden series kicks ass, haven't played 4 yet, heard it's not nearly as good as the first 3 unfortunately, but i'll give it a rent to try it out.

It just has its charms, just one of those games that i see as becoming "classics", especially suikoden 2.

[crashNUMBERS]

Yeah Suikoden IV is garbage...
