Top 50 RPG games, 26 games and counting..

[Captain Qb]

Hello, I'm making Top 50 RPG games, the great hall of fame and publishing into my site..
So, just write the names and consoles like this:
[Game name] [console]
Every game that has get over 3 votes gets in to the list..
Let the fun begin..
And if this topic is just full of bulls**t just remove or lock it, and if it is wrong please some moderator could move this?
And feel free to post games from NES to PS3/Wii/X360
And no MMORPG games and of course you don't have to post just 50 games, you can send 1-XXXX games if you want.. ^.^

And i'm looking for mostly console based (RPG games, not MMORPG) games, not PC or C64 etc etc. Like SNES, PS, PS2, NES games...

Are we including Action RPGs, or just traditional Turn Based?

Anyhow, I vote for Skies of Arcadia on the Dreamcast.

[boatofcar]

Isn't the phrase "RPG Games" redundant?

[Vroomfunkel]

What, no love for Panzer Dragoon Saga (Saturn)? Outrageous!

Other RPGs that had me by the small and curlies -

Phantasy Star IV (Megadrive)
Breath of Fire IV (PS1)
Final Fantasy VII (PS1) - yeah, I know, not 'niche' enough for the purists .. but it was great

and, my vote for the most overlooked RPG of all time:

Buck Rodgers: Countdown to Doomsday (Megadrive)

Brilliant! Video store made a small fortune out of me on this one. And when I re-bought a Megadrive years later, this was the first game I hunted high and low for ...

Hello, I'm making Top 25 RPG games, the great hall of fame and publishing into my site..

Cool, I'll submit my favorites :D



And i'm looking for mostly console based (RPG games, not MMORPG) games, not PC or C64 etc etc. Like SNES, PS, PS2, NES games...

Oh. nevermind. :(

[tom]

Dragonstomper (Starpath) for VCS

But mostly I grew up with the excellent SSI RPG titles on Atari XL and C-64:
(Shard of Spring, Wizards Crown, Demons Winter, Phantasie 1, 2, 3, the Gold Boxes, Buck Rodgers... etc) and Origin (Ultimas 1 - 6, Knights of Legend, Times of Lore), EA (Bard Tale series), Sir-Tech (Wizardry series).

SSIs Wizards Crown on Atari XL is still an unmatched RPG nowadays.

No Japanese RPG can reach these classics.
