>this many people freaking out about a typo
You guys are weird.
Anyways I'm still having trouble thinking of my top ten RPGs because I honestly don't feel like I've played enough of them to properly rank them. Morrowind is probably my #1.
Ooh, I just started Morrowind, and it is awesomeOriginally Posted by Pike
I'd love it if you could give me some tips in my usernotes
1 Final Fantasy VI. Loveable characters, nice music, wonderful and thrilling villian.
2 Chrono Trigger. I loved how open it was and how much depth it had and all the different endings it had. It felt deep and it still feels pretty deep today.
3 Dragon Quest IX. It was neat how you could create your own heroes and how you had freedom on the character look and design. Story could be a bit better.
4 Final Fantasy VIII. I like this game despite the hate that it gets. I love the refreshing and different battle system and leveling up system. Again story is eh.
5 Kingdom Hearts II. Kingdom Hearts was a decent game and Kingdom Hearts II just turned up the volume. Good worlds, better character depth, good story.
6 Star Ocean Till the end of time. The graphics are crappy and the story again is a bit eh, but I just liked it. Even though it has it's flaws it had something special and emotional about it.
7 Final Fantasy IX. A game that is sadly quite underrated because of it's appearance. Emotional story, amazing soundtrack, good characters. It's good.
8 Final Fantasy IV. I love this game SNES and DS versions both. This is the first game that I played that gave me that attachment towards the characters because I loved them so much. Though sadly it flops near the end. Moon ? What ? Huh ? The characters are back ? Huh ?
9 Persona 4. Persona 4 is fun and really creative. It doesn't hold me in as much as say Chrono Trigger, but it's fun and has a good balance of all emotions.
10 Tales of Versperia. I just got this game but I'm already loving it and liking it quite alot. The shouting in battles can get annoying though, but the characters are decent and the storyline is decent just don't be so chatty in battle.
Time to find out if I've actually played 10 different RPGs...
1. The Legend of Dragoon
2. Final Fantasy VII
3. Oblivion
4. Morrowind
5. Pokemon (Just going to lump all the versions I've played here, which is Red through Crystal.)
6. Final Fantasy VI
7. Final Fantasy I (GBA Version)
8. The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening
9. Final Fantasy IV
10. James Bond 007 (While not officially an RPG, it has a distinct Zelda feel to it, so I'm counting it. And if you're wondering exactly which game I'm referring to, I'm talking about the old Game Boy game.)
OCARINA OF TIME
Not an RPG imo! I don't consider any of the Zelda games to be RPGs.
Now now, just because you don't level up, that doesn't make it less of an RPG.Not an RPG imo! I don't consider any of the Zelda games to be RPGs.
Nintendo certainly counts it. Most of them are listed as RPGs on their Virtual Console database.Not an RPG imo! I don't consider any of the Zelda games to be RPGs.
True beauty exists in things that last only for a moment.
Current Mood: And it's been a long December and there's reason to believe. Maybe this year will be better than the last. I can't remember all the times I tried to tell myself. To hold on to these moments as they pass...
I wasn't referring to leveling up so much as the lack of things like stats and items with stats on them, and/or turn-based combat with spells and such. I know that's perhaps a narrow view but you've got to define the genre somehow! I'd consider Zelda to be action-adventure games. I mean the first game is really just running around and hitting things with your sword and nothing else.
I understand it's all subjective, though.

Zelda is definitely an action-adventure game.
I think that's the point, imo. All of the choices suck a little bit in their own ways. Leaders are underwhelming and everyone has an ulterior motive. You have the choice to make things better and at what cost.Yet I don't really replay it, and I have no real desire to do so. Part of this problem comes in with the Legion, NCR, and House. NCR just feels kind of Generic, and it's hard to care to much
about them. Ceaser gets a lot of build up, yet you finally meat him and it's the most disappointing moment in the game. This isn't a guy who should be called Ceaser, he's a guy who should
be operating a small gang out of a dirty cave. House is great, but solely a self centered dick. Yet these are my only options? This or Anarchy?
counterpoint: Zelda II: The Adventure of LinkNot an RPG imo! I don't consider any of the Zelda games to be RPGs.
way more of an rpg than OoT is
Well, I guess I can then call Civ a rape Simulator then.
Suikoden fanboy list coming.
1. Suikoden II: Just an amazing game. Great story, great characters, fun gameplay. Jowy is one of the most well-written characters in any game, ever.
2. Final Fantasy Tactics: The most well-written (if worst translated, for the PS1 version) game in the FF series. A mature, political story backed by a highly engaging battle-system, and it has the best job class system in the series. Delita is up there with Jowy as one of the most interesting video game characters. And Ramza is the best hero in the FF series, in my opinion.
3-4: Suikoden III and V: I'm not sure how to decide between these two. S3 had better characters, but S5 was much more polished and had a better major battle system. They're very close in my eyes, and both superb games.
5. Lunar: SSSC: This is some nostalgia talking, and Lunar's gameplay is not up there with those above it (or even some below it), but the story and characters are just so fantastic, it has remained in my top 5. From the PS1 era, it also features better voice acting than most PS2 games, and has my favorite ending.
6-10 (in no particular order:
Final Fantasy VI
Final Fantasy VII
Suikoden I
Chrono Trigger
Baldur's Gate II (the only WRPG on my list, so you know it must be good)
