    Here's a thread with a lot of good recommendations:
    Good Action RPGs

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

    Check out the new N64 Rumble Pak. See how it feels to feel what you see.

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

    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)
    Zelda is NOT an RPG.

    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.

    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.

    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.
