As much as I love Mass Efect, it will be pretty hard to convince me that Chrono Trigger isn't the best RPG ever.

yeah, I can appriciate the innovation in mass effect, but stacked up against games like chrono trigger, chrono cross and final fantasy 6,7,9 it doesn't even compare

Finished Mass Effect and I will still praise how good that game is for many years to come, but no, it's not the best.

Mass Effect was a great game an all but not the best RPG of all time, I thought KOTOR was better than it, but even that doesn't qualify...

How many RPG's (that aren't MMO's) have multiplayer?

I'd say SRPGs, but since this is about RPGs I have to say I liked the first 4 final fantasy's the best.

But the winner is Tales of Symphonia.

Baldur's Gate 2
Chrono Trigger
Final Fantasy 3(6)
Earthbound

all games worthy of best rpg imo. Mass Effect is not; it's a good game, but it's really an incredible scifi story/presentation.

Can't really match the RPGs on the SNES. Chrono Trigger, for one, beats at least 99% of all single-player RPGs.

Nobody seems to be mentioning Super Mario RPG. Chrono Trigger is the best IMO, but Super Mario RPG is an easy #2

No contest for you being wrong.

Everyone knows that the only choice for best RPG of all time is Planescape Torment.

I'd give it to FF6 or Chrono Trigger.

I wouldn't even give Mass Effect best RPG on X360 - I thought Oblivion was better, though I really like both.

I would go for any of these, I really don't have a "best" simply my mood changes so I just have a perfered list:

  • Chrono Trigger
  • Baldur's Gate II
  • Fallout 2
  • Xenogears
  • Knights of the Old Republic
  • The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind
  • Seiken Densetsu III
  • Final Fantasy Tactics
  • Suikoden II
  • Star Ocean The Second Story
  • Vagrant Story

And more... but would definitly add

  • Mass Effect - I would consider this better than KotOR actually. I have a lot of issues with it, but I have issues with just about all the RPG titles I love.

Probaly baulders gate 2 But I do love mass effect and kotor

Every FF (except 11)game and Chrono trigger shouldn't count becauseyou dont do any RPG ing :? There more like skill based adventure games we will call it SBA's. Diablo is some sort of cross between them

Technically you are playing a role in Final Fantasy and as such they are roleplaying games, just of the most simple kind.

In FF I customize my characters, decide what magic he will use, where and when and how and why and all that stuff... RPG doesn't only mean interact with the story.

For Mass Effect to even be mentioned here is a travesty and a disgrace to gaming. It sickens me. There is no possible way it can compare to games other people are mentioning (Chono Trigger/Cross, Baldurs Gate, FF6/7, etc).

Edit- some of my favorite underrated ones: Dark Cloud 2, Legend of the Dragoon, Breath of Fire 3, Legend of Legaia, Golden Sun (maybe not that underrated).

I really don't see how you can say Mass Effect if you've been played some of the classics. It's not even Bioware's best RPG.

Sigh get out of the past. Honestly, you and many others "sicken me" when you talk about how the only games worth playing were made in the 90's or earlier. Few people would honestly rather play something like the original Baldur's Gate over Mass Effect. For it's TIME maybe but not overall.

So many, but I'll name a few.

Final Fantasy 6 & 7

Super Mario RPG (like Onizuka said)

Diablo 2 (had a good offline-single player)

Morrowind

Chrono Trigger

Only to name a few, impossible to choose the best, really. Nobody can agree on one.

Oblivion
Mass Effect
Final Fantasy XII
Fable (kidding!)
