XenosagaIII is good,Suikoden III if you like strategy rpg or Disgaea that is pretty fun,Rogue Galaxy is gona make you enjoy a good time(a bit like F.F XII),Growlanser:Generations if you want to risk,the weaker are Grandia III or Drakengard 2 a bit old too...

how about???? hmmmmm cant think of something,,..

how about god of war(1,2):roll: ,.,. well i think it depends on how you play a game,,. if you want to make your game last 2yrs or so,,..thengetall the secrets and stuff,,.. get to lvl 99 to all the characters,,... how about radiata stories,,.

Well I just beat Odin Sphere and I couldn't take my eyes away from it. I'd definitely recommend it. Also Rogue Galaxy is a great pick and the new Dot Hack series is pretty good to. You can't go wrong with Shining Force as its constant onslaught fighting and it seems to make the game very enjoyable. Those are my top summer picks for the time being


P.S. God of war is not an rpg. :(

If you want something with an amazing story get Xenosaga 1-3 and marathon them in order. It should take you about between 70-90 hours to just beat all of them. Then there is all the side stuff. Valkyrie Profile 2 also has an amazing story.

If you just want something that is insanely long try Dragon Quest 8, though it's not nearly as good or long as previous Dragon Quest titles. If you don't mind going to older games get Dragon Quest 7 from the PS1, because that is at least a 200 hour game not counting side quests.

Other noteable titles include: Radiata Stories, Tales of the Abyss, Atelier Iris, Disgaea (even though it's a strategy RPG), Shadow Hearts series, and Star Ocean: Till The End of Time.

If he hasn't already played through Xenosaga 1 and 2 he won't like, or be able to understand, Xenosaga 3. You have to play the Xenosaga series in order because of how the story goes, and it has no backtracking. Xenosaga 3 is amazing though. It's like the biggest thank you gift for everyone who suffered through the second one, and then some.

Get the Xenosaga series, the first two can be gotten for less than 20 a piece, and I believe the third is 30 brand new.

You can get them all new off amazon.com or ebay for $25 total actually. It's a heck of deal :)

Tales of the Abyss. Buy it. It'll last you 80+ hours, and it's great.

Here is a list,

Rogue Galaxy(Great), Radiata Story(Great), Valkyrie(Good),Xenosaga 1-2-3(Great), Dragon Quest(more than great), .hack(you may get bord while playing), Tales of the Abyss(great), Odin Sphere(you will feel sad), Atelier Iris(good) and Growlanser Generations(if you are looking for a story but not the graphics).

Well I love all games :), but I think Rogue Galaxy, Dragon Quest and Radiata Stories are the best + Xenosaga for sure.

hmmmm what do you think?
