What is the best rpg game ever?????

Chrono Trigger
Pokemon Red/Blue/Green/Yellow
Seiken Densetsu III (secret of Mana)
Tales of Phantasia
Final Fantasy IV, VI, VII and XII
Elder Scrolls: Morrowind
Fallout 3

Golden Sun 1 and 2 were good. I never quite understood the hype about Earthbound. I really want to try out Lunar 2 and Xenogears next.

 

lol, I don't think Diablo is an RPG, but then I suppose Fallout 3 isn't either, according to the same reasoning.

Did anybody ever play the Dragonball RPG for SNES? Awesome game.

 

Did you really just say tales of phantasia....
And fallout 3 is an RPG, just not a JRPG

 

Yeah. I played it when I was 15 and my tastes have changed since then. Is it bad?

 

nah not bad, just surprised at this sudden revelation

 

i thought diablo2 was an rpg game
if its not i dont know what an rpg game is

 

Technically it's a dungeon slasher.

 

okami looks like fun. something that creates beauty or restores it instead of going around destroying everything.

 

You are a dog that pisses on your enemies

 

ha ha ah ha haha ha!@

In my opinion, Fallout 3 (game of the year edition) has been the best RPG i've played in quite awhile.

 

i think Fallout 3 is my favorite game of all time and i've been gaming since orange-screened macs

 

i really really REALLY like THAT idea too!

(as long as they haven't built up a large static electrical charge. ouch.)

god mode-ing in live would work ok too as long as everyone agreed not to kill everything in sight. (and actually KEPT to not doing so!)

 

i agree with the above poster. screw the established order. FALLOUT 3 FOR THE WIN!!!

 

Pokemon games were great for what they were.

But you can't ask what the best RPG game is and exclude FF, that's just stupid. So yeah, I would say FF 7 OR 6, not because its obvious, but because it's right.

 

Just depends on what you are trying to get out of the game.
Personally, I think stuff like Dragon Quest and Shin Megami Tensei surpass the Final Fantasy franchise (with the exception of 6 and 7), particularly more recent entries in the Final Fantasy series, which seem to be based more in style rather than substance.

 

Dragon Quest was still Enix though, so not so different from FF

Dragon Crystal was a really neat RPG for the Game gear, totally worth getting an emulator for.

 

Neverwinter Nights 1 and 2 by far.

 

Dragon Quest is very different from Final Fantasy, especially in their respective modern incarnations.
Square and Enix merged back in '03, and if anything, the differences between the two franchises have done nothing but grown.
