RPG Gaming

As much as i love playing other gaming genres, i must say that my absolute favourite genre has to be RPG style.

Whither it be SRPG, JRPG or MMORPG type of gaming i just love spending countless hours just learns spells
battling for exp
upgrading weapons & armour
plus raising my charaters levels in hope of defeating bosses and continuing forward in the story to see the outcome.

Over the years i have played many titles including...

Final Fantasy (series)
Suikoden (series)
Tales (series)
Star Ocean (series)
Jade Cocoon
Wild Arms ( series)
Breath Of Fire (series)
.Hack (series)

Plus many many more which i still own today.

Just wanted to know if any of you fellow GSF members also share a RPG passion.

Lol do i? Kingdom Hearts was my shit xD
I never played .Hack but i always seen it and it looks bad ass
I play nothing but MMO's because no game will ever be the same

Ah yes, I love the RPG genre. I'm an avid fan but to be honest I think the quality of RPGs has been in decline over the last decade.

I lean more to the tactical RPGs because I find them the most fun and incorporate the most strategy when playing.

Since we're rattling off lists, my favorites include:

• Final Fantasy Tactics
  
• FF7, 10 & 12
  
• Chrono Trigger
  
• Secret of Mana
  
• Vandal Hearts
  
• Suikoden 1 & 2
  
• Breath of Fire 3
  
• Fallout 1 & 2
  
• Wild Arms (The first one only)
  

Now those are just my favs, the list of ones I've played is too extensive to recollect. I really enjoyed Rainbow Moon a Game we've both played recently.

As far as some of the other newer releases, I just haven't been very impressed. I greatly disliked FF13 but XIII-2 is kinda growing on me (playing it now), mainly because of the story lines and the battle system, I feel like you're just mashing x the whole time, with an occasional L1 switch. I'm not a fan of Bethesda's Engine so The new Fallouts (3 & Vegas) left alot to be desired and I had little appreciation for Oblivion or Skyrim. (Skyrim became such a huge fad, it just makes me sad to see that what the new community wants).

Disgaea 3 was pretty fun, but it wasn't great enough to get me to play 4, the system just seemed to be missing something, and was a bit too extensive.

And Diablo 3, the most awaited action RPG to grace the last decade, fell flat on it's face during the release. In addition, while some have managed to stay intrigued and continued to play through it multiple times, I got through 2x and that was more than enough. It just became a constant farming mission after you beat it on hard, and while finding new equipment is fun, it does get old after 80 hours.

The game I'd love to see come out is FFT being remade on a next gen console, with an extended storyline (but inline with the original), additional side quests, more classes, updated graphics, magic, and sprites, more locations, and a PvP system. If they did that, I think I'd just lock my doors and order pizza for the next year or so.

The real question is what's next? I have a feeling Bethesda will put out the next big hit, but I'd love to see a SquareEnix game that isn't aimed at younger teenagers, the japanese, or girls. They can leave the sentimental emotions at the door (I prefer internal struggles over gooey love stories).

There is so much can be done with these newer consoles, yet I don't feel any gaming company has really taken the next big step to set themselves apart.

Anyone, back to the OP, I'm an avid fan of RPGs I just think they need some work.

You already stated that. No need to repeat.

Anyways, I have always enjoyed RPG Games. Kingdom Hearts is one of the best.

Yeah rainbow moon has been one of my favourites as of late but i have been going back to some of my earlier games that i played growing up like Discworld 1 & 2.

Just waiting for final fantasy XIV - a realm reborn to come out next year

RPG games are actually my favorite genre,especially JRPGs. I've played lots of em like FF7,10,10-2,13, Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2, Star Ocean 3.

However now I am trying out more western RPGs like Skyrim and Torchlight.

I love the fact that ps3 have been releasing the final fantasy games on PSN and i do hope they continue releasing more classic rpg titles.

I played a lot of RPGs too
But I'm more interested in unknown games like Regnum-Online (MMORPG) Divinity II (RPG) and Torchlight, wich is not that unknown but not as big as skyrim and D3 but you should check them out if you like RPGs Regnum-Online is f2p and if you want to get some informations about it, check out my channel (advertisment)
Anyway Divinity II is great too, but the graphik in this game is pretty bad, but acceptable. I needed almost 40 hours for the storyline and didn't get everything so you'll need about 50 hours to fully complete the game and then there is an DLC for it which takes you some hours too

Skyrim and the Fallout franchise are some of my favorite games though I'm not sure if it's because I'm a fan of the RPG elements or the fantasy settings. I really enjoyed Fallout's settings. The idea of being in a futuristic post-apocalyptic world with elements of our past really gripped me.

There are a lot of games mentioned in this thread though that I either haven't tried or I didn't really care for (Final Fantasy. Not that it wasn't a great game, I just never really cared for the story). So, I'd have to say it depends on the game for me.
