Thread: Best Non-Square RPG

  1. #1

    Default Best Non-Square RPG

    Though this site is devoted mainly to Square RPG's, and rightly so, what are some of your favorite non-Square RPG's?

    Star Ocean 2, was fun for me. Made before the Square Enix merger, so I suppose that counts.

    I also enjoyed Breath of Fire 2 on the SNES, made by Capcom.

    Take care all.

    I love the Dragon Quest/Warrior Series.

    Dragon Quest/Warrior III is still one of my favorite RPGs.

    I've honestly never played any of those games. Yes, I've led a sheltered life...

    Take care all.

    Baldur's Gate series and Planescape Torment. Wonderful games.

    Tales of Phantasia, you ignorant philistines. Brilliant story, characters you can get attached to, time travel, beautiful graphics, wonderful music and voice acting, all on the SNES. Plus, it's Namco, and since when are Namco really that famous for RPGs? Well, it's Wolf Team, who ran away to form Tri-Ace and make the Star Ocean games for Enix, so, eh.

    Though, admittedly, I do actually own Lunar and Lunar 2 Complete box sets and all, and I don't own ToP, so it should count for something. And I do desperately wish for either a new Lunar game, or some way to get Lunar Magic School.

    Oh, and Grandia, probably the first more than the second.

    EDIT : Oh god, how could I forget, the Wild ARMs series too, though I've only played Wild ARMs and Wild ARMs 3, they are one of the few games that I've completely completed. I got absolutely everything in Wild ARMs, and almost everything in Wild ARMs 3, I never finished the Abyss, which was a shame.

    Phantasy Star series, no doubt that.

    I've seen the future, brother. It is murder.

    I second Tales of Phantasia! Though the Lunar series comes quite close.

    "Yeah, you might be right."
