[McBacon]

Whta do you mean? Do you mean games like Zelda or RPGs where you can change the power of attacks ue to your actions (like Paper Mario).

[Chainsaw_Charlie]

Games like zelda 3 soul blazer secret of mana etc

Here's a thread with a lot of good recommendations:
Good Action RPGs (http://www.digitpress.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=58181)

Also, I highly suggest checking out Secret Of Evermore (SNES) if you haven't already.

[Daria]

Oh goody, thanks to the top post I don't even have to type it. *snip & paste*


ALUNDRA!

And don't you dare come back until you've played it. (:

Its not really an action-rpg, but star ocean the second story has one of the best action battle systems i ever played.

[Mr.FoodMonster]

Heh, I was going to post that thread right when I saw this, but looks like I dont need to.

Zelda is NOT an RPG.

Good action RPGs:

Kingdom Hearts x1,000,000 ❤ ❤ ❤

Ys Series
Tales of Series
Mario RPG Series (except for the SNES one)

[Push Upstairs]

Gauntlet Legends

[Haoie]

Most games with 'Mana' in the title.

n64:both zelda games

[tylerwillis]

Record of Lodoss War for the Dreamcast is one of my favs that never seems to get mentioned.

Tales of Symphonia.
.hack

The Bard's Tale (recent) is one of the funniest and most intelligently written games I've played in a long time, but its battle system leaves much to be desired.

[Lemmy Kilmister]

Mario RPG Series (except for the SNES one)


why didn't you include the original Mario RPG? That game involved the same time button presses and platform aspects of the N64 games. In fact the original game did it a hella' lot better if you ask me.

Seconded. Actually, It's my favorite Action RPG ever. Stay far, far away from the PS2 sequel though. It's a huge letdown compared to the original.

No one mentioned Shenmue series, it involves a lot of fighting moves, it was originally named Virtua Fighter RPG.

[GobopopRevisited]

Hmm... never knew Shenmue played out like that, gotsta try the Xbox version now.

But if that qualifies, I'd think Hybrid Heaven, for Nintendo 64, would too. Cool Fighting system made an otherwise boring game quite enjoyable... quickly found itself in the bargain bin too, I'd imagine it's quite cheap now.

HOW COULD YOU FORGET LAND STALKER?!?!?!?!?!
