Yeah. I'm looking for a good RPG that's not a Final Fantasy game, but with the same battle system. (ATB.) I'd like it to be long and have an interesting plot. Any platform will do except xbox and xbox 360 will do. Now, recommendations?

Xenosaga Episode I, II (...sort of), and III
Except they don't use the ATB. I can't think of anything but Final Fantasy that does at the moment besides Chrono Trigger or Xenogears. Baten Kaitos Origins' Delay Bar was sort of like an ATB bar in reverse, and the plot was way better than most RPGs, including the first BK.

Your best bet is to go with anything with Phantasy Star in the title (except for PSO Cards or whatever it was).
Im just going to list current gen system titles as I dont want to go on forever, next gen dont have F-all at the moment.
Dark Cloud 2
Grandia 3
Dragon Quest VIII
Suikoden V
All worth your money.
Its best to leave PSIII and Universe out as well, they werent particulary good. Everything else is great though, PSII still remains one of my favourite RPG titles ever.Originally Posted by Erdrick Holmes
Golden Sun is pretty good, but it's played out through Golden Sun 1 and Golden Sun 2.
Chrono Trigger and Xenogears are the only decent ones that I can think of off hand that use ATB.
Let me suggest that you try branching off from ATB. It's a nice system, but there are plenty of other great alternatives out there. EarthBound is a must-play, if you haven't already, by the way.
What about real-time RPGs? Like the Tales series and Star Ocean? You should definitely try out those. I'd start with Tales of Symphonia (GC) and Tales of the Abyss (PS2), as well as Star Ocean: Till the End of Time (PS2). All of these are rather inexpensive as well.
However, it's true, that ATB isn't really the standard RPG battle system. All of the great games I can think of that have ATB have already been said, definitely give Chrono Trigger a shot. Grandia III also has a pretty neat battle system, which is somewhat remniscent of ATB. It's also really fun.
Valkery Profile 2 has one of the best battle systems ever
I LIVE!!!!! AGAIN!
Are you high or something?
Maybe PSIII wasnt thaaaaat bad, but Universe was. At least I beat PSIII, Universe im not even half way into the story and havent even gone online yet. Out of the bombardment of 360 games I got last christmas, Universe was probably the worst one.Are you high or something? :mad:
Three words:
Shadow Hearts Series.
>>> Quoted for truth..Valkery Profile 2 has one of the best battle systems ever
and ATB sucks..
>> The black orb glitters ominously... but nothing happens..
this man knows what hes talking about.
You have a DS, which can play GBA games, get Golden Sun if you don't have it, and it's sequel/continuation, Golden Sun: The Lost Age. I loved them, you'll love them.
And whoever said Phantasy Star Universe isn't a good/fun game, didn't really give it a chance, cause it's tons of fun.
