I'm a big fan of the Happy Console Gamer (Norm MacDonald's kid as scipioafricanus calls him). What do you think of his list? |

Hmmmm, so these will pretty much all be JRPGs. Nothing wrong with western RPGs, but I have my preferences. I'll also avoid commenting on some of the series I've barely played for any length of time (ie. Phantasy Star 1 probably counts as my favourite Master System RPG, but I have barely played it). Also, these are going to be favourite games, not what I necessarily think is the actual best. Nintendo systems: NES: Final Fantasy (honorable mentions to Dragon Warrior/Quest III and IV, which I think are objectively better games) SNES: Final Fantasy VI/Chrono Trigger N64: ...Ogre Battle 64? I think that could count as a tactical RPG Gamecube: Tales of Symphonia Wii: Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World (with the caveat that I haven't actually played Xenoblade Chronicles or the Last Story) Wii U: Tokyo Mirage Sessions FE Game Boy: Final Fantasy Legend III Game Boy Advance: Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones DS: Final Fantasy IV 3DS: Bravely Default/Bravely Second Microsoft Systems: Xbox 360: Tales of Vesperia Sony Systems: PS1: Xenogears (for all its flaws) (honorable mention to Suikoden II) PS2: Persona 3 FES (but so many other great RPGs on this system) PS3: Tales of Xillia leaon79s reminded me of the Mass Effect Trilogy. Feel pretty dumb there, but I do still like Xillia  PS4: Tales of Zestiria (this is a bit of a cop-out here, as I'm still in the middle of this one, and it is the only PS4 RPG I've played) PSP: Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky (though I've heard the second one is better) PS Vita: Persona 4: Golden Sega Systems Sadly, I never owned any Sega systems in their original form, so I don't have a lot of RPG memories. PC: Too many to list, particularly with all the ports in the last few years  |

I loved Secret of Evermore for the Super Nintendo, and that game did not receive any love. Many critiques of the game included, "this game is so westernized. Blah blah blah..." |

I loved Secret of Evermore for the Super Nintendo, and that game did not receive any love. Many critiques of the game included, "this game is so westernized. Blah blah blah..." I have a lot of good memories of Secret of Evermore. The writing in particular seemed quite clever, and the alchemy system was pretty neat. I know a lot of folks complained that we got this after Secret of Mana (which I also loved) instead of Seiken Densetsu III, but I quite enjoyed it. Speaking of which, I really have to get around to playing SDIII one of these days. It was one of the earliest fan translated games I remember seeing people play, and I somehow have kept forgetting for the last 20 years. |

It's good to hear that someone else on this planet actually enjoyed that game. You would think it was universally hated. I understand why people were upset over the lack of a translation for SDIII, but if you take the game at its core, you have a really good game in Secret of Evermore. As for SDIII, I have seen translated repros on the internet, but they go for a pretty penny. If it ever comes down to a reasonable price, then I'll buy a copy. The game looks amazing for a Super Nintendo game. |

LOL! I don't play full RPGs other than things like ActRaiser, Castlevania, and Zelda, that have RPG elements. I do like the Soul series though, I started Bloodborne and I loved it, so I need to get back and finish it. |

PS3: Tales of Xillia (though I'll admit this could easily just be fondness because I played it recently)
PS4: Tales of Zestiria (this is a bit of a cop-out here, as I'm still in the middle of this one, and it is the only PS4 RPG I've played)
PSP: Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky (though I've heard the second one is better)

Also an appropriate response for any Metal Gear thread. |

I'm not a big RPG gamer, but I just ordered Lost Odysessy. It's been a long time since I've played a heavy RPG game, but after watching that video and seeing you guys' lists I thought it was time to play another one again.

I don't know too much about the genre but I heard on different occasions that Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey are the best RPGs on the 360, so you may be up to something there. |

Microsoft actually had the digital edition of Lost Odessey up for free download (for anyone not just Xbox Live Gold subscribers) in December. I posted about it in the Xbox forum here. Sorry you missed it, man. That said, hopefully you'll enjoy your playthrough of it. I liked a lot of things about Lost Odyssey. I posted a few thoughts about it here: classicgameroom.freeforums.net/thread/234/lost-odyssey-360-notes-jrpgs |

Anyways, it was only 10 bucks of eBay. And I like to have it physical anyways. |
