Wait, do you just want RPGs or do you want console adventure and point n click adventure games as well? Your list is a bit misleading.

(you should pick up the Broken Sowrd games anyway)

Nate Nanjo

Well anything in the general genre or close to it, I suppose. Since, I'll eventually have an entire collection.

Front Mission 3 is worth picking up, and if you liked the King's Field games even a little bit you need to get Shadow Tower.

Non-RPG RPG Spin Offs:
Ehrgeiz: God Bless the Ring
Chocobo Racing

On my personal list I include Misadventures of Tron Bonne, although it's not really an RPG it is part of a trilogy with the two Megaman Legends titles which are very much traditional RPGs in the whole "dungeon exploration, random battle, town roaming" sense. And I also have Yu-gi-oh which was really cheap and advertised with RPG quest mode. But I honestly don't think it counts.

I notice that you've included Disc World which while are excellent games, they are without any doubt traditional point and click adventure titles. Not in the least bit RPGs. In fact the only point and click series you could consider RPGs would be Quest for Glory which intergrated a battle mode and character stats with the classic Sierra type puzzle solving gameplay. But those were never PlayStation titles so we don't have to worry about them.

Never heard of Trap Gunner though, I have to check that one out.

I also wouldn't count Gauntlet, but I can see where it would fit in with an RPG collection, so chaulk that one up to personal discretion.

Ehrgeiz isn't really an RPG spinoff, it's more of a fighting game that ended up having some RPG characters force fed into it. Sadly, they became its most prominent feature (even when it was in the arcades and only Tifa and Cloud were in it as hidden characters).

I would destroy people that played them with my Inoba just to let 'em know that they were throw away fanservice characters :) (well ok, Tifa was actually pretty good, but most people were Cloud-centric).

Also, Trap Gunner is about as much of an RPG as the Discworld games :)

You know, I always thought there was a sequel to Granstream Saga for some reason, but maybe I was just thinking of Alundra 2 this whole time. Poo!

Trap Gunner is cool but can get old quickly. You place traps like mines down and send of rockets to bet an opponet in a duel. Bunch of characters with different skills but you fight over traps and run around avoiding the other person. Its like a fast paced, 3D, bomberman with more characters and missiles.

Yeah looked up Trap Gunner, and as other have pointed out in this thread really didn't strike me as a role playing game either.

As far as Erghiez goes, I don't know whether the Square cameos were inteded to be the main focus of the game or not, but with their inclusion and the aforementioned featured dungeon mode I'd say the game fits right in with an RPG centered collection.

Damn it, I was going to say that. Good game.

errr...erghiez had a whole ranodm dungeon rpg mode in it that had nothing to do with the terrible fighting game (sorta came packaged with the meal)

Well as long as we throw Tekken 3 in the "Beat Em Up" category and include Tobal I and II in the PS1 RPG category then I'm willing to compromise! :)

The dungeon mode was just tacked on for the home release; the core game was just a typical DreamFactory fighting game built for the arcade and ported over with a whole poop load of snazzy extras and fanservice.

No one's looking to buy an arcade cabinet. It's the PSOne version that's under debate.

Thanks for the list. I can finish the RPG's off, somethings I added, because I wasn't to sure and I haven't played them yet.

Poofta!

interesting to see other people going for this, im a couple games away myself, and have been for the longest time, since they are pricey:

i need:
suikoden 2
valkyrie profile (disk 2)
thousand arms 2
vanguard bandits
kartia
one of the ogre tactcs/battle games, forget which.

i have ALL the rest, even the psuedo rpgs and maybes, incluidng discworld etc.

6 games away and still at least 300 dollars for them.. bleh.

Daria

I just need Suikoden II. When I have the money I'll flat out buy it. But I've been working on this sub collection for years now. I can't even remember at what point I said "I'm going to do this." But I'm working towards every console and heldheld rpg released in english. Already finished Genesis, after PlayStation I'm cracking down on Saturn I think.
