What Are Your Favourite RPGs?

^ this.

Valkyrie Profile
Disgaea
Mass Effect

Well FE follows the core principals of RPGs in that you take on the role of a character and follow a progression system. Zelda is RPG ;x Can genre-splice and give it adventure labels, but adventure in itself really isnt a proper genre for a game.

And suikoden 2.

FUUUUU...forgot about this game too...though I don't know how...Suikoden 2 *** HUGE WIN!

yup, aside from those 2, I'd have to say FF9 and Chrono Cross

Final Fantasy I,IV,V,VI,VIII,IX,XI,XII,T,TA,MQ
Xenosaga Series
Persona 2/3FES/4
Radiata Stories
Dragon Quest VIII
Legend of Dragoon
Chrono Cross
Chrono Trigger
Saga Frontier II
Tactics Ogre
Vagrant Story
Fire Emblem Series
Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne

Anyone played Jade cocoon?

Baldur's Gate I, II
Neverwinter Nights

FF8/FF10/FF12..i thought it was pretty good for awhile atleast lol

>.>

Just naming the few people haven't said much already or not at all.

Legend of Legaia
Xenosaga Episode 1,2 and 3
Crystalis

Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, Ocarina of Time, and Majora's Mask
ChronoTrigger
Final Fantasy II, III, and VIII (those were the numbers when I played them, so that's what I call them)
Secret of Mana

All of them are incredible except VIII. I hated VIII. And yes, those are what they were when I played them, so thats what I call them too.

Too many rpgs too name for me! (this seems to be frequent with my posts for some reason..maybe I gots too much shez??)

Turned based tactic games are still rpg, like FF Tactics, no Zelda (that i've seen) is an rpg, they are Action-Adventure, lastly those others are American RPGs, which typically bore the living hell out of me (my opinion)

Legend of Mana
Sword of Mana
FF9! <3 Srsly who doesn't like this one?
Oblivion!

And so many more x;

This is going to make me seem old, but I remember these oldschool computer games for Forgotten Realms/Dragonlance settings commonly referred to as the Gold Box series. The ones I played were Pools of Radiance, Curse of the Azure Bonds, Secret of the Silver Blades and Pools of Darkness. These games were freaking addictive to a young nerd who lived in the middle of nowhere.

To prove they do, in fact, exist:

There's also the old classic Castle of the Winds, which was made for windows 3.1, *** all that archaic DOS ***~!

In terms of console games, I randomly happened across a game called Growlanser Generations. It's a JRPG with a strategy-based battle system and a storyline that can change based on your effectiveness in battle. For example, there's one point where the main character is poisoned and less effective in battle -- If you take to long to get from one point to another, it affects another character's rise through the knight heirarchy and affects stuff like storyline options and skill development. Neat stuff. I'm really surprised that one didn't get mentioned sooner. I can't be the only one that's fallen in love with that one, can I?

OMG! I remember wasting hours on that game! >.> I kinda want to play it again...

This kind :D

Those weren't the numbers, technically just the stupid numbers that the U.S. marketing team used, which was stupid because if they had just released them as numbered, people would have had a demand for the others as well, epic fail in marketing. 4 6 and 8 are all great games, 8 is one of my favorite games of all time, only a few parts of it I think should have been tweaked and if I felt like taking the time to do so I'd so do it myself. Again though, Zelda games aren't RPGs they are action/adventure games, large difference.

Final Fantasy 4, 6, and 10
Chrono Trigger
Secret of Mana
Suikoden 1-3
Shadow Hearts 1-2
Breath of Fire 5
Nier

Disgaea 1
Valkyrie Profile 1

*cough* ADOM

Legend of the seven stars is the best. I have them on my Wii. Its the reason i only use wii cuz i can buy all old games lol.

You can keep saying Zelda isn't in an RPG, and technically it isn't, but it has many RPG elements thus why everyone basically calls it one. It just focuses more on puzzles than hack-n-slashing.
