Final Fantasy VII doesn't get the praise it deserves.COBHC_reaper
It clearly does.

wow, some people on SW do have brains. who woulda thunk it?I believe Final Fantasy VIII to be the most under-rated RPG of all time. It's bold approach to realism was not well recieved in comparison to the cutesy and at times naucious charm of previous JRPGs. It was a real revolution as far as bringing RPGs into the true grown-up age, which it unfortunately is not credited for. Sadly, FFX -- arguably one of the worst the series has had to offer so far -- gets that praise.

Fallout 2 most definitely.. Another gem from Black Isle.. The best game i ever played and it never got the attention it deserved.. Chofee
I disagree. It was am amazing game, don't get me wrong, but Fallout 2 was a highly-praised crown jewel of Black Isle. Not overrated, but not underrated either.

Good call! I totally forgot Star Ocean:2nd Story.
I got the game and never finished it. It's god damn awful.
Legend of DragoonAsadMahdi59EXACTLY, the plot contrary to what Gamespot says is not that predictable (its brilliant regardless), the combat shallow though it is, is quite brilliant, the item limitation makes you need to think about whats worth keeping hold of and aside from the disjointedness it looks darn good for the time.
Honestly I think it has got to be Kingdom Hearts
just because of the fact that a lot of people still don't take
it as seriously because it introduced Disney characters into the mix.
Whoever said FF7 is an idiot lol in my opinion I love FF7 but I think
its overrated.
There is no way in HELL Quest 64 is underrated, its had mentions on lists of the Worst RPGs of all time for a reason..its broken as heck, you can't even get deeply involved in at as you can some otherwise mediocre RPGs like King's Field. Also Legend of Legaia.n64-quest 64

Skies of Arcadia. My favorite RPG of all time and barely anyone played it because it came out on DC.I've played it and its certainly good but theres no way I could call it my favorite RPG of all time.

Why hasn't anyone said the Shadow Hearts series yet either?SemiMasterCritically acclaimed and often mentioned on lists of amazing RPGs.
Final Fantasy VII doesn't get the praise it deserves.COBHC_reaperIMO FFVII is more important for historical reasons than anything else, the materia system was brilliant but its not that great overall by today's standards and I'm not just talking graphics.
Some things about it were certainly tedious.The game was boring IMO.

We need to clearly define what underrated means.. Does it mean that a game got lower score than it deserved, or that it sold less then it should, or both.. In both categories, Planescape did better than Fallout 2, and by your logic, there is no way Planescape is underrated.. The thing is, Fallout 2 got about 85% or so which still means that its a great game, but it deserves 200% in all aspects :) and thats the main reason i find that game underrated.. In my opinion, underrated means less known and les aprecheated..

When i think underrated, i base that on acclaim and both the Fallout series and Planescape have in my opinon recieved the critical praise that they deserved. Not sure if the TC meant the same thing though as you pointed out, torment falls under the very same category of praise.Basically any Atlus game. TrueReligion_Agreed. Pretty much any game they've published too..seriously, does anybody think Lufia: Ruins of Lore deserved a 6.7?
Any Mario-related RPG. Seriously, they deserve way more recognition.
Yggdra Union, Riviera, and Fire Emblem are also RPG's that deserve more attention. Same with Tales of Symphonia.
