    Xenogears is probably the best RPG I've ever played. Since I don't have the cash to drop on Suikoden II, I can't really say anything about it.

    Disgaea, Makai Kingdom, La Pucelle, and Phantom Brave are indeed roleplaying games. Strategy Roleplaying Games, to be precise (SRPG). You do assume the roles of the characters, and while the stories are generally somewhat linear, they do have the fact that you can access different things and you can stray from the beaten path. In that respect it's more nonlinear than, say, Final Fantasy X.

    While many Final Fantasys are good, there are better RPGs out there, and there are worse. Fact remains, it's a good series and most are worth a play.

    Actually, what I liked about disgaea was its story had drama,and some of the zaniest screwball comedy moments Ive seen. Prinny baseball, power ranger executions, zombies with horses weiners and all the anime parodies you can eat are well balanced with moments of intense drama, sacrifice, and character development and revelation. And the multiple endings were great, as they all focused on developing various characters and situations. I also loved how deep the game was and how it could keep you going for nigh 1000 hours and you still wouldnt be 100% done.

    Disgaea was a great game for all of the reasons you mentioned. I'm just refuting what Tsukasa said earlier about it not being an RPG because it lacked a "really powerful roleplay element."

    Suikoden is the best RPG series ever made. End of story. FFT is the only FF that competes with the "big boys" of RPGs.

    Lunar SSSC is also among the best RPGs ever made.

    than* (Thread title)

    Games I've personally played: Xenogears, Suikoden Series, Legend of Legaia

    I've heard opinions of others who like the Chrono series, and other gaming series better.

    Actually, I'm really not a fan of Final Fantasy at all. There's a few good games, but I tend to resent the series for the amount of attention it's given. There's only three installments I can think of that I really, very much enjoyed, being: FFVI, IX, and XI. I remember enjoying X while I played it, but it really wasn't that memorable of a game, IMO.

    Better than Final Fantasy? All that I was going to say have already been mentioned, that being Chrono and Xenogears... but I think Baten Kaitos deserves a nod as well. A good chunk of the staff from Chrono Cross worked on that game, and while it had a slow start, it definitely developed into an excellent game.

    I'd say the Suikoden series, cept 4 that was so disapointing. Maybe the Shadow Hearts series also.

    He could just do what quite a few people do, and frequent the General forums, only going into the ones for the FF's you like occasionally to see what’s new.

    Anyway, I also liked the Soul Blazer series, especially Illusion of Gaia.
