What 360 RPG should I buy?

What would you, the gamer recommend?

I have not played an RPG since 2002 so im not worried about it being the same thing

Also, I like anime so I dont mind a JRPG

and Third, It has to have decent graphics (its okay if framerate goes slow in some parts.)

To tell the truth the main two I'm thinking of is Blue Dragon, and Lost Odyssey. I like the animation of blue dragon and the anime is pretty cool though I've heard it differs from the game, I know nothing of Lost Odyssey. If you refuse to recommend something would you tell me good points of the games and points that I would care about. Also, the storyline.

I've read reviews but not many answered my question because they come from people who have played many RPGs . If youre review would tell me please recommend it. BD and LO are my main choices please tell me if you like any better ones. Price is not a factor. OH, one more thing tell how long load times are if you would plz. TY to anyone that helps.

Mass Effect is the best RPG i think on the 360 and my second only to COD. Reccommend it a LOT

Lost Odyssey is a good alternative if you're a fan of JRPGs, although ME is better

I didn't like Oblivion too much as I played it after these, so it felt a bit dated and frankly i got bored of it. Eternal Sonata is a decent JRPG, but nothing much compared to Lost Odyssey.

Overall, go with Mass Effect!

Dont buy LO its horrible if you ask me.. The story is really boring, and the game has some weird thing about dropping you into battle after every damn cutscene lol.. However if you really want a good RPG you should try Eternal Sonata and Enchanted Arms both is great with really great characters and story! besides them you could try Phantasy star: universe

Lost Odyssey is awesome. Though you might get a little bored with it after logging in about 60 hours...

I thought Lost Oddysey was the terribly boring. It made me want to dig up a true RPG! [Legend of Dragoon] Anyway I would recommend Oblivion or Mass Effect.

Lost Odyssey is a terrific game, I put over 60 hours into it and skipped some of the side quests. Eternal Sonata is a beautiful game to look at and has a good battle system but is a bit short, but you can play the game again (encore) for a harder challenge and access to previously unattainable things. Blue Dragon is not a bad game but a bit dull imo. Oblivion is good too but more of an open type wrpg. If you get Oblivion make sure you get the game of the year edition. Mass Effect is good but for me it did not live up to the hype. Overall I would suggest in this order: Lost Odyssey, Oblivion, Eternal Sonata.

Go with Mass Effect or Oblivion. Mass Effect would probably be the safest bet, but take a read of some Oblivion reviews to see if it appeals to you.

Lost Odyssey is a beautiful game but is very shallow, in that I mean sure it is 4 discs long but the story is not interesting and the characters are pretty weak, very shallow and bland. Gameplay is normal JRPG so you cant go wrong with that. If you are yearning for a JRPG, get this or Blue Dragon.

Mass Effect is great, hands down one of my favorite games on the 360. If ya have the resources, get this over any other game, especially if you like previous Bioware games. You won't be disappointed.

Oblivion is another huge game like Morrowind, good or bad depending on you. I think its a great game but the story is weak but the universe is ginormous....definitely check this out too, but ME is still better.

Eternal Sonata, now that game is the epitome of beauty. Music, Art, and overall aesthetics blew my mind. Great game if you are interested, watch some videos on the combat and see if you are intrigued. I loved it, pretty cool game in my book

Hope that helps!

Oblivion and Lost Odyssey are both awesome.

You have to have at least get Oblivion or you're missing out on one of the best RPGs ever.

I would definetly recommend Lost Odyssey. I just started disc three, and I have to say it has one of the best stories (or back stories rather) I have ever seen in a game. It really sucked me into it, and that doesn't happen very often. Parts of it have acutally had me feeling sad for the characters in the game, and that has never happened before. I would highly recommend playing it.

Anyone talking about how bad Lost Odyssey is, dont listen to them. it has very possibly one of the best stories I've played thus far in a game. i love it! mass effect is awesome too. oblivion was boring for me. eternal sonata is a good rental. blue dragon is a rental too.

Here are the best rpgs on the 360 IMO

1. Lost Odyssey

2. Mass Effect

3. Eternal Sonata

4. Oblivion and expansion pack

5. Blue Dragon

6. Band Of Bugs (xbox arcade game that has 3 expansion packs for hte story mode, a map editor and is kind of like Final Fantasy Tactics)

Hope that helps!

Mass Effect is a great game. I'd go with that. Between BD and LO, definitely go with LO.

Lost Odyssey. From what I played of it, it's great, nice cut scenes/story (dreams and narratives are very well done). Battles feel good and have the FF feel to them, obviously. I'd also suggest picking up Eternal Sonata.

Blue Dragon is ok. I haven't finished it yet but I'm not THAT into it. Try the demo first as this one is definitely a hit or miss, it seems.

I'd avoid western RPG's. That's how I roll. Oblivion was awful, hated it. Mass Effect wasn't much better. I like the space setting but it was simply tiresome to play.
