whats your favorite rpg series? mine is probably suikoden and wild arms. suikoden has 5 games + tactics and they are all good. i havent played 2 because it consistently sells for over $100, but i assume it is full of awesomeness like the rest of the series. and wild arms has 5 in the series, 6 if you count alter code f (remake of 1) and they have all been pretty good.

i have the xenosaga series but havent got to play them yet, i hear mixed reviews on these games. mostly people complaining about the lengthy cut scenes.

i have heard mostly bad things about the .hack and saga series's, so havent played them.

i really want to play the persona series, but the games for the ps1 are ridiculously expensive, so i only have p3

what are your guys favorites least favorite series? ones you want to play but havent? ones you would recomend steering clear of?

My favorite RPG series:

  1. Suikoden (and yes, 2 is VERY good)
  2. Baldur's Gate (the PC games, not the Dark Alliance stuff)
  3. Shadow Hearts
  4. Shin Megami Tensei
  5. Knights of the Old Republic
  6. Xenosaga
  7. Final Fantasy
  8. Phantasy Star
  9. Shining Force
  10. Fire Emblem
I think that covers it for me. I don't think I'm leaving anything off (though I'm sure someone will prove me wrong :P)

Chrono Cross and Chrono Trigger...

With Chrono Trigger being released on the DS by the end of this year... I'm thinking that Square might have plans for a new Chrono game.

Zelda, Paper Mario, The Elder Scrolls, Dungeon Siege, I enjoyed Fable, even though I 100% it in a weekend. We'll see if Fable 2 is better, then that may be on this list.

i've been wanting to play the shin megami games, but i havent had the chance yet. i missed out on the phantasy star series when i was younger, but i got psII on sega smash pack for dreamcast, and just picked up psIII complete for ten bucks for the genesis, so i will play them soon enough.

My favorite RPG series is Wild Arms. The original was my first introduction to real RPG's and while I only remember the second, third, and fourth games (never got around to the fifth and want to play the remake), I remember liking the Western theme and turn-based combat. Morrowind and both Knights of the Old Republic games were also great titles with the former taking up a good 100+ hours of time.

I like Tales of Symphonia, but I hear the sequel is lame... Dragon Quest then I guess.

How has nobody said LUNAR. Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete and Lunar: Eternal Blue Complete are the best RPGs ever, fantastic stuff. They're actually my favourite series, only FF7 and FFX were really any good. I'd say Chrono Trigger, but Chrono Cross wasn't good enough to rank it higher as a series.

For consoles:

Dragon Quest, KotOR, Suikoden, Golden Sun, Mana, the original Phantasy Star games, Megami Tensei in all its incarnations and non-series games like Vagrant Story, Jade Empire, Fable, Mass Effect and Lost Odyssey. I suppose Zelda could be classed as an action-RPG too.

I also play a lot of PC RPGs, some favourites:

Baldur's Gate, Diablo, Fallout, Neverwinter Nights, Planescape Torment, Ultima series... and too many others to name!
