Drakengard is probably borderline.
IGN claims that Future Tactics: The Uprising is a SRPG.
Both listed on RPGamer:
Dark Angel: Vampire Apocalypse
Magic Pengel: The Quest for Color.
Monster Hunter?
Maybe...

Tylerwillis and Trebuken, great checking! Thanks a lot.
I updated the list. Future Tactics, Magic Pengel, Dark Angel, and Monster Hunter are added, and I put Drakengard in the Borderline category.
I missed these games indeed, but one game was unknown to me and I had to look it up: Dark Angel Vampire Apocalypse. One of the early RPGs I completely overlooked.
At the end of its lifecycle, the PS2 will have more RPGs than the PS1, probably 100 to 110 which is pretty amazing. (around 80 PS2 exclusives) I never thought the number of RPGs for the PS1 would be topped.
EB/Gamestop are having their Buy 2 Get 1 sale this weekend so I went RPG hunting (your fault for giving me the idea). Came across one more (yes I bought it), that isn't on the list...
It's borderline...though I might lean toward putting it in an action category, I think it could work as an RPG.
Devil Kings.
Though I think if this were included you'd then have to look at the Castlevania Games, and maybe even Dynasty Warriors...and then Devil May Cry....
Maybe someone who had played it can be more definitive about it.
Later,
Trebuken
Thanks for this. I have been looking for a good RPG list.
Devil Kings is a straightforward Dynasty Warriors clone, it is as clonelike as it can get. If included you'll end up with all Dynasty Warriors as a 'RPG,' and then there is indeed no line anymore for Onimusha and Devil May Cry and possibly even Madden NFL.Originally Posted by Trebuken
I'll buy Devil Kings as well.
I added the two RPG Makers (II and 3). A tough call as well, but if you can 'design' your own RPG and play around with it, it is a RPG. If it looks, walks, and quacks like a duck, it should be probably on a duck list.
Added Gladius as a Strategy RPG.
I was under the impression that Forgotten Realms: Demon Stone was an action game. I think that it needs to be removed.
Excellent list for people. I had a question, where to the Romance Games, PTO IV, and Naval Ops Warship Gunner and Commander fit?

I highly disagree with Future Tactics.
It's more of a Worms clone than anything. In fact, it doesn't really have ANY RPG elements what so ever. If it simply MUST be in the list, put it in the borderline section.
Also, some fancy highlighting might be nice (eg red for bad games, green for good ones)
Future Tactics is certainly a unique blend of RPG-strategy elements and action lacking 'traditional' subtle and sophisticated movement calculation, but it is still more on the strategy side: a turn-based battle system and limited movement justifies to put it in the strategy genre albeit it is a new take on it.Originally Posted by sisko
About indicating bad and good games: I'm not going there due to unavoidable BIG discussions. Someones FF X is someones Orphen. The intent was just to deliver a nice, ready to go cut-and-paste list, and then everyone is free to pick and or to delete. It isn't a popal, ultimate list by any means, just complete and inclusionary as possible. Borderline cases and very thin lines between genres are a given.
Thanks guy. You're right. I put it in the borderline category. I have the game, read previews and reviews, but never played it; I put it just from a feeling level and past misperceptions on the list, but checking reviews again it is certainly not a RPG; otherwise Devil May Cry and the two Lord of the Rings by EA should be included as well.Originally Posted by shoes23
You could even argue it shouldn't be in the borderline category, but well, let the feelings dominate if in doubt.
Then by that logic, Worms 3D definitely needs to be added to the list, and likely Worms Forts (haven't played the latter).Originally Posted by lendelin
Good list.

If Naval Ops Warship gunner makes it to the list, then Seek & Destroy should be added too. That is much more like an RPG than the former...Originally Posted by swlovinist
A couple notes before I list what I have in the DP Online Guide master file:
It's tough to categorize games now that they've started to borrow RPG elements to give the title some length and depth. I've tried to categorize them as best as I can, but I'd love to hear what everyone thinks.
I have Magic Pengel and games of that ilk (like Monster Rancher) listed as Life Development titles since they focus on creating/raising a character and fighting with the a'la Pokemon Stadium. Magic Pengel blurs the line...it has RPG elements in it, but they aren't the main focus of the game. Even the package classifies it as an adventure game.
I never saw the Fullmetal Alchemist games as RPGs. They're more like beat-em-up type games, IMO.
Heroes of Might and Magic and Gladius are what I consider 'Action Strategy', or what the DP guide refers to as 'Battle-centric'. I wouldn't consider them full-blown RPGs. Could Future Tactics fit in here?
Anyway, here's the list, broken down by classifications.
