Final Fantasy VII, for me. And no, I'm not one of those people where that's the first/only RPG they played; I've played countless and I'd say it beats even Chrono Trigger.

I'd say...Valkyria Chronicles...come on, a whole lot of things about that game is awesome. From the art design to the gameplay... First RPG I every played, as I would recall would be FFVIII, I think that was awesome, too, but never got to finish it. FFIX was the first RPG I actually managed to finish(don't as why...I'm pretty young). FFVII? Not that much, but I like FFVII a lot as well, but not as much as Valkyria Chronicles. Valkyria Chronicles gets my vote here.

I've always been partial to Phantasy Star IV, myself, though FFVII, FF, Dragon Warrior, and Zelda: A Link to the Past (which I consider an RPG) are all in the conversation.

Morrowind, definitely.

But followed closely by Final Fantasy Tactics, Phantasy Star IV, Knights of the Old Republic, and FFVI.

(I am playing FFVII for the first time right now, and its really good...)

For me it's between Shining Force 2 or Final Fantasy 6. I can't choose just one!

There is no greatest RPG of all time, only your personal favorite RPG of all time.

Anyway, my favorite has to be Crono Trigger, it was my first RPG and i just love that game, i also love FFVI, FFVIII, ToS, etc, but Crono Trigger is a very special game to me, thanks to this game, i love RPGs.

FFX for me. First one I ever played and was blown away by it. Holds a lot of sentimental value for me, but it's also a fantastic game.

Not even remotely enough Dragon Quest love on this thread.

For me, it's between Dragon Quest III, Dragon Quest V, Dragon Quest VIII, and Earthbound.

If it counts; World of Warcraft is one of the most expansive and well-thought out worlds made in gaming I think. But in terms of more traditional RPGs; Super Mario RPG, Final Fantasy 1, the Paper Mario series. I don't play enough RPGs to really make a great list; but I play a few...

If I had to narrow it down to one then Xenogears is the standout title that I would go with.
