Hands Down the best RPG you've ever played

The One. The Only. We need a sequel!

Mass Effect. Granted I haven't played as many RPGs as some here have.

Final Fantasy IX brah

i hope they make a chrono cross/trigger/something.. for the ps3.

my favorite rpg ever? i have to say KOTOR because that game was the first game where i was completelymesmerized playing for 10+ hours at a time.

some additional details that some of you might relate to. im an rpg gamer, i hate action games, shooters for example like halo 3 and killzone 2, they offer no depth for me. so for my ps3 and xbox 360 i only have rpgs or action-adventure games which are kinda rpg like but a good mix of story telling and some action that doesnt dominate the gameplay.

my ps3 has only 1 game actually lol which is GTA4. cuz no good rpgs came out for the ps3 yet. i mainly play my FF games on my ps3 from PS1 and PS2

my 360 has fallout 3, oblivion, and mass effect.

mass effect i would say is my 2nd favorite rpg

other mentions include final fantasy 7, 8, and 9 (all ps1) final fantasy 10, and 12 (both ps2) and im patiently waiting for final fantasy 13 which i dont know which system i will get it for yet. probably ps3.

also chrono cross (ps1) and chrono trigger (ds)

and i wish i had bought Vagrant Story and Xenogears for the PS1. i hope i can download them off PSN someday.

i also can't wait for star wars the old republic!

from the looks of the games i've played i say the best game companies are Square Enix, Bioware, and Bethesda Softworks.
