I'm not sure I really have one. The majority of my favorite "RPG's" fall into the "action-RPG" sub-genre. Games like Nier, Castlevania: Curse of Darkness and The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. When it comes to actual "role-playing" the only game that I thought captured the PnP experience was Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines. And even then, the "game" was really broken when I played it.
I would say some of my favs are Chrono Trigger, Paper Mario (the first two), FFIV, FFVI, Knights in the Nightmare (if you can call it an RPG) Pokemon Heartgold/ White, Dragon Quest IXand the KOTOR games. I am in the middle of playing quite a few ATM.
I have so many RPGs that I could easily nominate as my favourites... if I absolutely had to choose one though, much as I wouldn't like to, it would be Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4, as mentioned by a few previous posters.
[QUOTE="ristactionjakso"]I really want this game. But since i never played it im gonna say Rogue Galaxy. Possibly Dragon Quest ps2.silentexistence
I saw your thread in Legacy Platforms. Pick it up already! :PI would have but its $40 used still. Thats a complete rip off for a used ps2 game. My ps3 broke and gamespot is willing to buy it for $40. I still might get it because im to poor to buy a new ps3 lol.
My favorite RPG would have to be Persona 2 Tsumi (Innocent Sin). I played the NTSC-J version back when it came out and fell in love, getting through the game with the Oracle of Maya translation website and many print outs. Those types of experiences are forever cherished. The art direction, twisted story and unique overall style of the game sucked me in like no other. I still find the game forever enjoyable and am happy Atlus USA finally put the game out for Westerners.
Favorite is hard to define for me. If by going by shear numbers of times I have played a game it would have to be FF IV or FF VI (II and III back when I first played them). I really liked Chrono Trigger too. I really enjoyed Eternal Sonata my first time though as well. I tend to gravitate to turn based affairs when it comes to RPG's. Action RPG though would have to be Oblivion though I have replayed that a couple of times.
I play some many RPG that I can not say that one stand above the rest. Also, I can see weakness with all the RPG I play that a different RPG over come.
