    Default Favorite RPG series that is NOT Final Fantasy

    Ya know, I always wondered what is everyone's preferred series after FF. So I made this poll just to see what is the 2nd most popular series in this forum. As for my fave RPG series after FF, it would be the "Tales of..." series. Their storylines are predictable, yes, but they are so much to play due to the battle system.

    Vaan - "Also remember that if you played the original, you'll have an easier time playing the international version. We hope you enjoy the International Zodiac Job System experience. See ya then!"

    I voted for Zelda because I loved the games since I was 3, for Chrono Trigger/Cross because they were very fun games, and I loved Paper Mario for the N64.

    Chrono series because Chrono Trigger is easily one of my favorite games ever.

    Zelda because I've loved those games since I was like 4-5.

    I might have said Chrono if I had liked Cross more. Instead I have to go with Persona.

    +1 for the Megami Tensei series. That is a huge omission from that list.

    2nd vote goes to the Dept. Heaven series, which gets bonus points for being relatively new and having a number of games in it already.

    Out of the ones you listed: Breath of Fire, Dragon Quest, Fire Emblem, Harvest Moon, and Mario RPGs.

    I'm wanting to list RPG series that you've forgotten, but you've pretty much covered them all. Unless Pokemon counts.

    In no particular order, Suikoden, Dragon Quest, Chrono, and Zelda. Although I'm not really sure Zelda counts as an RPG series.

    Suikoden is my favorite series ever. The second installment is my favorite game of all-time.

    Other notable favorites are Breath of Fire and Wild ARMs.

    I like the Persona series, as you can see in my signature. I think I ought to give some other SMT games a try someday.

    Another vote for MegaTen. Especially Digital Devil Saga, the second one is my all time favorite game. Persona, Devil Summoner, and the main series are all great too.

    Tales of series need more love. Some of my favorite games are from that series like Tales of Symphonia and Tales of the Abyss. I'm in the same boat as The Man about the Legend of Zelda that it shouldn't be listed as a true RPG, like most of the other series you named are... well the same could be said of the Harvest Moon series too.

    Apparently, I have been declared banished.

    Harvest moon and Zelda, definately not RPG's as has been said.

    Though you could classify the Rune Factory spinoff as a Simulater/Action RPG I guess.

    Xenosaga takes it since I enjoyed all three games, even II which was kind of the dud of them, and III is arguably my favorite RPG.

    The persona Series can't take it for me simply because of how much I disliked 1, though 3 and 4 are a couple of games that could also contend for my favorite.

    Chrono Trigger is amazing, though cross is simply decent, it's a bit to bogged down by it's problems to make up for what is great about it.

    And instead of Ogre Battle, you should probably say Tactics Ogre, as thats the actual series, Ogre Battle being the spin-off if I remember correctly. And Ogre Batte: March of the Black Queen kicks all kinds of ass.

    And Wild Arms has yet to give me a bad game, (I haven't played 1 though, and I know 3 was technically bad, but I still enjoyed it, so meh. ) but at the same time, even though the other instalments were excelent, especially 2, they couldn't keep up with the shear awesome of any other series I loved best title.

    I like most of those choices but if I had to pick one it'd easily be Suikoden. Unfortunately Konami doesn't care too much on the main series anymore and said they're going to focus more on the Tierkreis line so that's a real shame.

    From this list, DQ, Golden Sun, Star Ocean, and Tales. The Shin Megami Tensei games and all its subseries are also some of my favorites.
