..for Xbox 360 of course and all I have is Blue Dragon at the moment. Though, I want an RPG similar to the Final Fantasy series, and an RPG with weapons. I've had Lost Odyssey in mind for a while now but then I saw The Last Remnant and Infinite Discovery, and I cannot decide which one would be the best choice. Which game would be better in story and gameplay wise and would be a good turn-based RPG? If anyone has an idea, I thank you in advance. Please feel free to give me more RPG games for ideas as to what you think is the best choice. Thanks again. :D

lost Odsyssey is the best JRPG so far this gen imo. I've played the Last remnnant and it's pure garbage. Right now I'm playing tales of vesperia and that game is also amazing. I haven't played Infinite Undiscovery.

1.Lost Odyssey

2. Last Remnant

3. Tales Of Vesperia

4. Fable2

5. Eternal Sonata/Fallout3

Those are the best rpgs on 360 imo!

IMO Lost Odyssey, Last Remnant and Tales Of Vesperia are all Top Notch rpgs.

I'm a massive FF fan, and I've played Lost Odyssey and Last Remnant. Lost Odyssey is well worth a look, although don't expect it to be near the quality of FF. Lat Remnant steer clear of, it's cack. Terible tech problems, pop up and frame rate drops worse than my cheap laptop. Fable 2 is stunning graphicly, but lacks depth and isn't turn based, I'd recommend the first Fable anyway. I got fed up with Mass Effect. Looked great, great ideas, but I got stuck and couldn't be bothered to keep trying, but I would however give it another go once I've finished Fable 2. So go for either Fable 2, Mass Effect or Lost Odyssey. Hope I helped!

This really should be in the recommendation thread... but I have to defend the Last Remnant.

It is not garbage in my opiion. It's actually a really good game. The fighting is cool, forming guilds is fun, and the story is pretty decent. I'm having a lot of fun playing the game. The only downsides are the frequent loading screens and slowdown, but the slowdown is not nearly as bad as the reviewers make it to be. It does not affect gameplay at all from my experience with it. I also have it installed on my HDD, so I'm assuming that helps a little. I wouldn't cast it aside, but to each his own.

I also have Infinite Undiscovery, Tales of Vesperia, and Lost Odyssey, but I have not played the last two yet. Infinite Undiscovery is meh, but not horrible. It's more of an action rpg.

Calm down, the thread asked for a good RPG similar to FF series, bit surprised that he mentioned Fable 2 in there.

I'm not too much of a fan of turn based RPGs... so Oblivion is still probably my favorite RPG. I played some Lost Oddysey and I actually liked that quite a bit

I LOVE Mass Effect, hate Oblivion though (worst in the elderscrolls series imo). But when ever i post MASS EFFECT in an rpg thread, people seem to get pissed off and angry.

Well if you must have a JRPG I recommend Lost Odyssey, I just got it and it's a really fun challenge. If you want to stray away from that category Oblivion, Mass Effect, FALLOUT 3, Fable 2 (no matter what other people say), and even Morrowind for original Xbox which is backwards compatible.

Hm well I already have Fable 2 and Oblivion but I'm really in search of a turned-based RPG, and The Lat Remnant, I heard, was a pretty bad game overall because of clipping issues and bad frame rate. Though I've mentioned it because its made from Square Enix, which is one of the developers that make the finest RPGs. Without the problems, same goes for Infinite discovery as that game is developed under SQ also. Tales of Vesperia looks very interesting as well, but I havent really put much thought in getting that game though. I think just a little more research would do but it would be nice to get more ideas and opinions so I can know what game to focus on more.

Lets talk JRPGs cuz it seems thats what you're into

If you really wanna get serious then cop Final Fantasy XI, haters aside this game is classic. It will provide you with endless hours of addictive fun

And then yea of course you got these...

Lost Oddysey, Last Remnant, Tales of Vesperia

All good games

I can also reccomend Mass Effect, Elder's Scrolls Oblivion, Fallout 3 however these games play nothing like Japanese turn-based rpgs

Last Remnant is a good game, there are some pop in texture issues, but it's nothing you haven't seen in Gears or UT3, or any other game made using the Unreal engine. Infinite Undiscovery is made by Tri Ace and only published by SE, and it's not turned based, the combat in that game is is similar to button mashers and you only have 3 combos throught the whole game, you wanna stay away from IU, and definitely get LR if you like JRPGs, you won't be disappointed by it.
