    Default Good Action RPGs

    I'm looking for some good Action RPGs, mainly PS1 and PS2, but older systems are welcome as well. So far, I've gotten really into Threads of Fate (PS1) and dungen mode on Erghize (PS1)

    Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance andDark Alliance II. Can't get more action oriented than that. One of my favorite series of all time.

    Diablo on PS1 was a lot of fun. I never played the PC version so using the Dual Shock was no problem for me. Lots of fun!!

    I second Alundra. Alundra 1. not 2, (what were they thinking!?)

    Also: Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain

    These are all for PS1, I am a big fan of the Action / RPG genre.

    I second the Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance games... I also would add to the list Kingdom Hearts (I'm surprised no one else mentioned it so far).

    Legend of Mana for PS1. Underrated game in my opinion.

    I second Diablo, and suggest you get Neverwinter Nights on PC.

    I aggree with Alundra!! It's a great game with many hard puzzles to solve (not just hack and slash). In fact I still have my game that I started back in 1997 saved on one of my mem cards. For the longest time I was stuck in a level (couldn't figure out the puzzle) and Ive been thinking of getting back into it.

    My favorite Action RPG "series"- Soul Blazer, Illusion of Gaia, and Terranigma. All on SNES, though Terranigma only had a PAL English release.

    Currently playing in my dreams: The Brutal Balad of Fangus Klot (Xbox) Citizen Siege (Xbox 360) Hand of Odd (Xbox 360)

    Diablo for the PS1 is just not Diablo, though. It's an online game, through and through. To ME, not worth the money.

    I prefer it over the PC version.

    The Playstation version is faster, and supports 2 players.

    That's enough for me. I could care less about online for that game

    (Now 3rd strike <_<)

    I bought Alundra very late (together with the guide from WD), but for two years now it is sitting on my shelf. Never played it. But now I will! Don't spray me with cooking oil!

    PS: every time I remove sticker residue from jewel cases or guides with cooking oil, I think about your tip! The best useful tip I read on this board. Just amazing how easily the worst sticker residue comes off.

    Not on the PS, but you have Faxanadu and Willow on the Nes, and if you like puzzles, Light Crusader on the Genesis.
    Step Back! This is my blast shot!

    for PS1 titles, I would sugest Tales of Destiny 1, Tales of Destiny 2, Star Ocean 2, Valkryie Profile, and Grandia. For the PS2, I would recomend.....nothing as I cant think of anything. Sorry, a few of these titles are on the expensive end. Grandia should still be available for a decent price though. Those may not be action enough though. If so, Diablo is also available for the PS1 but honestly the PC verion is much better.
