5 Best RPGs ever....
 

and i will post my magical list!! yes it's magical!! dont defy me mortal! *baretta talking to himself*

1. FF7

2. kingdom heart's

3. FF8

4. skies of arcaida

5. legend of dragoon

All right here we go...

5. Legends of Legaia- I'm possibly the only one in my town who actually enjoyed this game as much as I did. Sure it wasn't the best RPG but for some reason it appealled to me and I had a fun time playin....probably one of the most challenging RPG's I've played just because leveling in that game is a *****!

4. Final Fantasy X- A huge stepping stone for the Final Fantasy series with amazing CG's, great voiuce acting, and a brand new battle system. The characters were all well developed and while the story was rather linear it still kept you wanting more!

3. Skies of Arcadia- I had so much fun playin this game. Very light hearted and colorful. Filled with lush and diverse places and the battle system was also very well done.

2. Xenogears- By far had the greatest story. Always keeping you at the edge of your seat. Once you thought your problems were done Xeno would throw 10 more events your way all at once. It was almost like playing a real cool movie.

1. Final Fantasy VII- This game is what made RPG's what they are today in my opinion. It helped pave the way for all of my favorites and is just so brilliant. The characters, the world, the story...everything about it is gold!

Close ones were FFIX, Chrono Trigger, or the Lunar games

1)FFX
2)FF7
3)FF8
4)Chrono Cross
5)Legend Of Dragoon

1. Secret of Mana, for SNES: not only the best RPG, but the best game ever created, IMO

2. Xenogears

3. Skies of Arcadia

4. Chrono Trigger

5. Chrono Cross

Square games, yes. FF, no. I don't know if it's just me or what, but I don't think it deserves to be in any top 5.

What?!? Not even FFVII??

I don't think so. If you look at my choices(without bias), you would see that I have better games than FFVII. I'm not sure however, that how many people have played Secret of Mana.

5. Legend of Legaia- a very innovative battle system and nice music. Field and world graphics could have been a little better.

4. Chrono Trigger- What can I not say about this game?

3. Breath of Fire 3- I love the story and music. Besides, Ryu is my favorite creature.

2. Lunar: SSSC- Amine-style cut scenes, great soundtrack (got the CD), perfect story, characters you can relate to.

1. If you don't know what I'd put here, you haven't seen me post ever. FFTACTICS! The story is the best I've ever seen. The battle system is great. The music always puts me in the mood to play it. There is actually a stronger summon than Bahamut. Ultima isn't the most powerful spell. A lot of traditions have been broken and a lot more have been made.

I've played Seiken Densetsu 3, and I love it, but I still think that the games on my list are better.

FFIV, FFV, FFVI Three classic games where Bahamut is the most powerful and you have to fight a very powerful boss to get him, usually Bahamut himself.

my favourite would have to be, in desending order.

5) diablo 2, i thought diablo 2 was amazing even though the storyline was absoulutly poor, but the game had such a good replay value, (a real hack n' slash) (not quite as hack n' slashy as severance though)

4)Legend of Legia, I love this game, the fighting system is so cool and the storyline is very good, its a little bit hard to play for more than half an hour at a time i find though because of its style.

3) FF8, i thought 8 was much better than 7 because the charcters in my view are better and the storyline i think is better (though seven's i excellant) in general i loved it.

2) Deus Ex, i thought the storyline on this game was great, probably better than great and the gameplay was brilliant plus the shear capabilities of the game made it playable over and over again.

1) Baldurs gate 1 + 2, my favourite game of all time probably, i know some people like the_artist dont like it but i thought they were absolutley fantastic.

First of all I would like to say yep I'm back. Now RPG fans should agree with the 5 that I choose here. I'm not going to number them but just list them. Xenogears, Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy VII, to tell ya'll the truth but in my opinion these 3 games are the best RPG's ever! Some will disagree but they can't deny the fact that they are so I'll leave it at that.

1. Arc the Lad I,II,III - As a collective, this game's tie-in characters had wonderful personalities to me. The characters just seemed rightly placed, and the world seemed vivid, as well did the plot. The characters really intriged me, and even though the battle system wasn't jaw-dropping, the characters were the basic reason I loved this series so much. The $70 was well-worth it. Plus, THERE'S TOSH..

I could praise it forever, but eventually, I'd have to variate for any actually well-thought, good-spirited rants.. o_o..

2. Xenogears - Someone mentioned a "movie" experience.. This game is just deeper than most, and that's what attracted me to play it, and keep going.. because it didn't have a paper-thin "Cloud vs. Sephiroth" stereotyped approach. It just seemed very unique because of religious themes, mechs, etc. etc. and how they fit into place. Plus, THERE'S CHU CHU..

3. Wild ARMs 2 - I have a fixation with these characters too, say what you like (story too, story too!).. The graphics weren't great, but they were enough, and this game's lest a bit eccentric, the point-skill system was fun to mess around with, you could escape battles on-field, the bosses ACTUALLY REQUIRED a strategy (Especially them secret bosses.. depending on your level and equipment..) Wild ARMs is probably #2 as a favorite series. Plus, THERE'S LILKA..

4. Lunar 2: Eternal Blue - Again, the characters. (Not just because it was by Working Designs.. o-O;;) Lunar just seemed to have a lot of life, and the anime FMVs were pretty cool. Plus, THERE'S LEO..

5. Final Fantasy VII - Heh, I picked at it, and now I'm going to be a hypocrit. The battle system ruled, (Materia is God-like.) and being able to switch out a team with versatile characters made the game replayable. Plus, THERE'S BARETT..

Let me see here... top 5 RPGs... *sighs* now THIS is a hard one...

5.Final Fantasy VII-man this is where it all began for me... I had only really played 1 or 2 other RPGs before it, and this one really got me into the role playing scene... always got a spot in my heart

4.Final Fantasy Tactics- Best SPRG ever. Period. Incredible story, memorable characters, extreme customization... all around just awesome. And playin as Cloud and seein Aeris? you must be kiddin me :-p

3.Valkyrie Profile- INCREDIBLE battle system, beautiful beautiful sprite based graphics, original content, highly stylized and a great idea for background story... great stuff.

2.Suikoden II- Oh man... I cant even go into this one.... story so memorable, 108 well thought up, complex people to play as, simple fighting engine but at the same time very deep, a BASTARD of a antagonist, plot twists, drama, comedy.. this game has everythin and more one could ask for.



1.SUIKODEN III- Havent even finished this for the first time, but already the sheer enjoyment of it has surpassed even that of my beloved SuikoII... I had high expectations, and I'm very happy to say it has shadowed even what I thought it would be... a true RPG that deserves anyones 200+ hours...

I agree with 16th Letter, I'm in the middle of Suido III as well and I must say its quite an experience. I don't care where you guys put it but its on my list somewhere!
