Favourite Non-Final Fantasy RPG's

[The Devil Man]

Okay, this Poll is about a couple of things. I'd like to know what people's favourite non-Final Fantasy RPG's are. I think it's very obvious we're all big Final Fantasy fans and we love the games. But we also play different RPG's too.

And maybe we could recommend some RPG games to one another while we wait for the latest Final Fantasy to come out.

Now about my Poll. As you can see, it isn't quite 'definitive' and it's not supposed to be. They were just the main RPG games I could think of and in the case where there is more then one game in the series, I just put the actual series down instead. This might annoy some of you. For example, Suikoden 3 (I think) is regarded as the best in the series and Atelier Iris 2 is not as good as the first game. However, I'm going on the assumption that if you've played one game in the series, you'll play all the games so that you can appreciate the whole story. One thing I've learnt from being on this Forum is that most of you guys love your stories. So I figured if you love one game, you'll love them all.

The only exception is Tales of Symphonia. As you know, Namco have made a lot of 'Tales' games and they are all of variable quality. Some are very average to say the least, some are okay and some are excellent. I chose Tales of Symphonia as that is regarded as the best in the series. Also, the Tales games have seperate stories and are not connected so you dont have to play the whole series to understand the plot.

Another point to mention. The Legend of Zelda. This might, again, annoy some of you because some don't really regard it as an RPG as much as they think of it as an 'Adventure' title. However, as it has been pitched as an RPG for a long time, it actually introduced me to the world of RPG's and made me explore further and discover games like Grandia and Skies of Arcadia, etc... And I'm guessing thats the case for most of you.

Finally... don't get mad if one of your favourite games isn't in the list (I left out La Pucelle Tactics, Phantom Brave, Tales of Vermillion and I love all 3 very much) Thats what the 'other' option is for as you can only go up to 20 options. I've just tried to make it as inclusive as I could Please recommend any game you like in one of your Posts. Thanks!

Edit!! I made a terrible mistake! I forgot to includes Kingdom Hearts! Terrible mistake since it is a hugely popular and excellent game. Sorry for any fans! If I could change the Poll options, I would. Sorry again!

One of my votes was for TES IV: Oblivion, but actually I don't like that a huge amount. I voted for that because I do love Morrowind =D

[Dreddz]

Dark Chronicle and Grandia are up there. Valkyrie Profile was also really good.

[Mo-Nercy]

Chrono Trigger, Tales of Phantasia and Golden Sun.

[Bunny]

Suikoden II is my favorite RPG ever. I liked to other games as well.

[I Am Stoner]

I picked other for my three games.

My favorite Non-FF RPG of all time has to be Neverwinter Nights.

Then my second favorite has to be...... Diablo 2 & Lord Of Destruction Add-on

Then my third favorite is Vagarant Story.

[Crossblades]

Chrono Trigger, Tales of Phantasia and Golden Sun.

Along with Tales of Symphonia, Paper Mario 2, and Skies of Arcadia Legends

[Meat Puppet]

Even though I've only played 3 games in the series (Oblivion excluded), it's The Elder Scrolls for me.

[Venom]

I dont see Wild Arms up there.

[Roto13]

Zelda isn't an RPG, it's an adventure game. I voted for it anyway, since it's the best game on the list. :P

[LunarWeaver]

I refuse to consider Xenosaga/gears "other"

[Erdrick Holmes]

I'm not voting because Phantasy Star is too perfect to be counted as an 'other'.

[XandrewX]

I choosed Suikoden as I played from two,four and five...and all are nice games...especially five...and...another one is Wild Arms...my favourite ones is Wild Arms:AlterCodeF...

[Sefie1999AD]

I like Kingdom Hearts, Chrono Trigger, Seiken Densetsu 3 and Super Mario RPG. Jagged Alliance was a great game with RPG elements, though I'm not sure if it counts as an RPG.

Tales of Destiny II is better than Tales of Symphonia and is the best. You like La Pucelle Tactics too? Ok, I forgive you.

I picked Tales and Suikoden.
