I have put lots of dedication into this thread. After tons and tons and tons of research I conclude that

is the best Action RPG ever. I promise you I am not biased at all towards Kingdom Hearts. I am not a fanboy of Kingdom Hearts. I don't even like it. Its pretty lame actually. Im super Cereal! You have no prove that I am a fanboy towards the Kingdom Hearts series..

[spoiler] :lol: Im just messing with ya. [/spoiler]

But really , I believe Kingdom Hearts is a pretty good solid Action RPG.

Of course you guys name other Action RPG's that you seem more suitable and better.

You guys with me? Yes? No? :P

Discuss SW.

I did more research than you did, and my pick is Panzer Dragoon Saga. Don't know if it'd qualify as an 'action RPG" though.

I haven't played final mix. And probably never will. But I will agree.

Kingdom Heart's story was too....Crappy for me. :P

I'd vote for System Shock 2.

^ This, also the gameplay wasn't all that great. If System Shock 2 or Dues Ex 1 counts I'll go with those two titles. If not I would have to say Diablo 2.

KHII is not even the best in the series. Anyway Kingdom Hearts, Birth by Sleep, and Ys Seven for me. Glad I decided to check out Ys Seven and is currently waiting to obtain Ys Oath in Felghana later this week.

I also agree with TC: KH2 Final Mix. The original game was mind-numbingly easy, but the Critical Mode difficulty was a considerable step up next to the tons of new boss fights to indulge in. And if you play Leve One challenge? Right there is one of the most fun Action RPGs I have ever experienced.

Gothic 2 & Night of raven.

Just the multiple ways of getting to the main city was worth it. Sneak behind guard, climb the wall, climb the mountain, swim from the ocean, act as a herbalist, bribe, act as a farmer, gets a recommendation letter, or just get a suit of armor and looks rich enough...

KHII is probably one of my favorite Action RPGs, but I'm surprised no one has mentioned Monster Hunter yet.

KH2 is definitely the best of the series, but I think the FREE-LMBS system used in the Tales series is way better.

Also, I didn't know so many people thought Kingdom hearts 2 was better than the first... I thought it was like, universal that the first game was way better.

It had some points better than the first, and the first was better in other aspects. But Final Mix set the bar so high for the series not a one has ever come close since.

It improved on some gameplay aspects, controlled better. I have a hard time saying which is better though. At this point I just kind of hate the series for having 1000 spin-offs.

The second is better because it was more mature than the first.

IMO, the series would be better without Disney.

Not sure if serious? Also the Disney aspect is what made both KH titles. Take out the Disney all you have is two titles with awful stories written by Nojima and Watanabe (which is still the case now) and a button masher (although I did like the combat in KH1 and BBS)

Ha, I had a feeling this was going to be about Kingdom Hearts. Anyways, my favorite ARPG is Valkyrie Profile 2.

Kingdom Hearts 2 is worse than KH1.
