FFXII's story doesn't appeal to me very well, but the gameplay is great.
Unfortunately in RPGs the most important thing for me is the story. Then the music. Then the actual gameplay.

With exception to ES fan threads and graphical comparision threads, when is Oblivion talked about casually? Also it recieves quite a bit of hate too (mainly due to the PC versions controls), but yes... Here is a good example. Go onto an average forum and ask for "Help in Oblivion" or something related to Oblivion that is casual. It takes a relatively LONG time to get a response. But instead of Oblivion say it is Pokemon or Final Fatantasy VII or X or Animal Crossing or Mario Kart of Star Fox or Metroid Prime or Gears of War or Guitar Hero or... you get response relatively fast. ES on the other hand is ignored.Originally Posted by tidus_rox
I couldn't agree more with you on these ones, especially XII, that game gets hated on way too much.
Anyway there's only one game that comes to mind and that's Psychonauts, truly one of the best games and platformers to grace the PS2 and X-Box.
What!? Um... Oblivion is talked about all the time. However I do agree that XII is hated tooooo much! I love that game! But yeah... Oblivion owns! And in case you haven't read my other hundred posts that has said it but; I just got it today! YAY!
So said too, it is an excellent game. I would call it a console seller but it is avaliable on the PC
Speaking of the devil (Oblivion is the devil, not you)...
It really depends on the RPG. Most RPGs thrive and live on stories. But some great RPGs, heck some of the best RPGs get their because of gameplay. Pokemon and Oblivion come to mind. Story=mey, gameplay=AWESOME. Final Fantasy V is also one that has a mey story the gameplay is so well done that it is considered one of the better Final Fantasy's.
With FFXII, there was actually a good story depending on your tastes. Makes sense for people who like RPGs not to like the story (perhaps more common in shooters or action games) but the story was just very political and not epic (excuse the type I said earlier). Sure the characters could have been better... It does come down to your tastes though, and there is no point in argueing that.

God, how could I have forgotten that game! it is in my top ten list
And Warzone 2100... back in the day I used to play nearly full days.
Another one really underappretiated, going through my old list of PS1 games, is Shadowman, just a great game with an excellent idea in mind

Samurai Legend Musashi and Taiko Drum Master are the two most underappreciated games I can think of.
For the most part 3 was just a pretty good RPG, not like the others. However it had one of my favorite RPG villains ever, The Divine Fortress Asgard.
The response I was waiting for. I really do like 3 the best, though.
I'd say there are a lot of under appreciated adventure games like the Myst series (more so with the later additions (III-V)), Grim Fandango and Dreamfall. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I hardly see any of these games talked about and when I mention them to friends and on other forums, no one knows what they are.
"... and so I close, realizing that perhaps the ending has not yet been written."
XIII is a very good game but noone seems to by it. Alot of people play it online but still, it had the perfect set up for a sequl.
DUNGEON KEEPER ROCKS. shame they never made the sequl to it.
WHAT. worms is just hellish and funney. What other game alows you to throw exploading sheep
exept in my houseNah worms isnt that popular in england i should know i live there
I'm back who mised me.
Tumble weed roles across the ground.
Uh...? Dungeon Keeper 2DUNGEON KEEPER ROCKS. shame they never made the sequl to it.
But that reminds me - Syndicate Wars.
Oh yeah? Well what about... a threequel.Uh...? Dungeon Keeper 2DUNGEON KEEPER ROCKS. shame they never made the sequl to it.
The only games that come to mind are the Suikoden series. But you know, I love that about the games. I remember the times when a Suikoden community was full of maybe 100 people, 50-75 of which were actually active. Some of the best people I have ever met come from those groups and it was a wonderful experience. I'd hate it if Suikoden turned into the next Final Fantasy (the community, not the games themselves. The games are too special to be hated for any reason, especially population).
>>> Front Mission games..
>> The black orb glitters ominously... but nothing happens..
Aquanox Series
X, Beyond the Frontier (but not the others)
The Legend of Dragoon and Breath of Fire 3.
Two series I forgot:
(Out of Japan) Fire Emblem. Dissappointing how many people don't like this series. Probably because you may need to restart your game if you horribly screw-up and teh fact you need to redo chapters constantly.
Tales Series (Hold Symphonia): Most titles are good, except I heard that Tempest was god-awful. Abyss I heard was the best of the series.
Another ones:
Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure
Beyond the beyond
AND Guardian's Crusade
Final Fantasy IX
and also, some childhood classics that were completely forgotten. The Heart of Darkness. And The Hobbit. I enjoyed those games a lot. Despite the reviews.
