    Default the best RPGS

    Hey ppl, i,m just curious what other rpgs u recommend i should get outside final fantasy. apart from final fantasy the only rpg i have is shadow hearts.

    i bet most wont be avaliable in uk though. i mean of course there is chrono cross and trigger, xenogears and xenosaga, terraenigma sukioden etc but non of them r uk.

    and i,ve played alot of rpgs and hated alot of them. vagrant story, grandia, grandia 2, jade coccoon, summoner, kouldelka and wild arms 3 i remember in particulary 4 sucking. infact the only one of note i,ve played was saga frontier 2.

    so what should i get? is skys of arcadia worth it? does unlimited saga really suck that much? breath of fire seris a good one?

    i,d prefer turn based ones though. zelda is good and all but i have never been fond of complete real time rpgs.

    after ffXI what rpg should be nxt?

    From what I've heard, Skies of Arcadia is one of the best RPG experiences you'll ever had. I can't give a first-hand account of it, though.

    If you're into PC-style (read: not Japanese) RPGs, I recommend highly the Fallout series.

    Suikoden II is the best RPG ever made. The Suikoden series is the best RPG series ever made.

    Lunar SSSC is also an excellent RPG(my second favorite overall).

    Breath of Fire III is a damn good RPG as well.

    Heh, did you just copy that from the last thread we had on this subject?

    I recommend the Breath of Fire (SNES, PSX) or Dragon Warrior (NES) series. In terms of next-gen there's not really much there that isn't Square affliated. Plenty of good rpg's for SNES though.

    Grandia (the first one), Vagrant Story 1 or 2 and all of the above.

    Try some DßD based RPGs, like Baldur's Gate or SWKotOR.

    Tales of Phantasia, Tales of Destiny, Tales of Destiny II(Eternia), Breath of Fire 1, Breath of Fire 2, Breath of Fire 3, Parasite Eve, Lunar Sivler Star Story Complete, Grandia, Legend of Dragoon, Super Mario RPG.

    Those are some but I don't know how well you will like most of them. Tales and Grandia are not turn based.

    What you need to do is download some SNES roms. www.oneminuteleft.com is an awesome site. On this page you will find boxes that say action, adventure blah blah blah. Click on RPG...I hope you can handle if from there. OH YEAH! If don't don't have an emulator you will need one. I suggest Zsnes.

    Yea, maybe that would be a good idea. I really enjoyed Baldurs Gate II! With the trone of bhaal expansion it's a godly game. It's the best D&D ever made! I once slayed every person in whole Alcatla! :evilking:
