Its obvious we all love the Final Fantasy series, but do any of you devote your time to any other RPG's, do you favour eastern styling (final fantasy, grandia) or western RPG's (fable, KOTOR)?

I love turn based eastern rpg's at the moment I've got Final Fantasy's VI through to X-2 all on the go, along with Grandia 2 and XenoSaga Episode II, Magna Carta is getting a European Release on the 7th of April and I'm getting that and I'd also love to get Dragon Quest VIII which is launched on the same day.

I really enjoyed KOTOR and quite like Jade Empire but they feel mroe like Zelda to me, which in my opinion is mroe of an "Adventure RPG" than your classic RPG, but that hasnt stopped me wanting to get the new PSU, Dark Chronicle (Dark Cloud 2) and Zelda: Twilight Princess.

To add to this, what do you define as an RPG? as all games could be classed as Role Playing as your taking on the role of something your not, Gran Turismo your a racing driver, Mario your an Italien Plumber in a strange world, VBib Ribbon your a dancing wire frame rabbit, its certainly a cloudy genre if you ask me.

An RPG to me is numbers flying up into the air when people/monsters/summons recieve damage. Having commands to choose from. Having Hp and Mp or Lp. Though I think Dp is stupid (Romancing SaGa, Durability points). Also, I think an RPG should have mutliple characters to choose from. Not just one. And having a "party" is a must for me. I like having the fact where if one of your party members die, the other ones can heal or revive them. Unlike other games where you only control one character on the field and there are NO other characters you can use or NO allies, it's game over when you die. Classic RPGs should have glass-chattering or something like that that brings you to another screen to battle.

I am I GIANT fan of Radiata Stories right now. I love this game. It's so much fun. And the comedy is hilarious. I recomend this game to everyone! 

I also like the Romancing SaGa, although it's really hard. I've gotten gameover 3 times in 40 minutes D:. They don't tell you how hard the enemies are in one area or how hard a mission/request is. But this game is actually really fun and it keeps you on your toes rather than just sitting through multiple battles with the same enemy that will never get stronger and leveling up slowly. Because after you reach a certain amount of battles, all the enemies get stonger. There is no leveling up in this game. Only invisible points where after almost every battle, at least 1 or 2 of the characters should have a stat gained. Like "Claudia's Hp increases" or "Guella Ma's Strenght increases". Also, this game is like 8 games in one. Well, more like 8 stories in 1. And most of them are pretty interesting. Haha I bought the Brady walkthrough for Romancing Saga because it was so hard. I want to get Unlimited SaGa still even after all those horrible reviews. I don't care what people say, I still want it. I find the battle system very interesting.     

Currently playing Dragon Quest VIII right now. I don't like it much, I only bought it for the demo of FF XII :D which was so worth 65 bucks (Canadian). I'm also currently playing Drakengard. The story is pretty cool just the battle system is so...anoying. But at least you get to use more characters rather than just Caim. But a really good RPG series people should get into is Shadow Hearts. I only got into them from Shadow Hearts: Covenant and I want to get From the New World and the first Shadow Hearts.

I'm a fan of turn based RPGs and Tactics.

I liked Tactics Ogre: Knights of Lodis (GBA), and Eternal Eyes (PS) and thats all that is on the top of my head. I'd have to puruse my collection to come up with more examples.

I haven't played the previous one but the Fire Emblem Sacred Stones one was very good. I enjoyed it.

Advanced Wars: Duel Stike was good too.

I like Kingdom Hearts but I'm not crazy about it.

I like Tactical RPGs although Nippon Inchi's games are too staggering. It took me so long to beat La Pucelle: Tactics cuz I got bored of how the characters have to enter a "battle screen" instead of it taking place on the map. Even worse, it was all turn-based.

Final Fantasy Tactics Advanced was awesome but I'm short 2 jobs to actually beat the game >_<

And thanks to Kingdom Hearts, I now love action RPGs.

I just got that not too long ago at circuit city. I haven't played it that much but from what I did play I loved it. Not bad for 15 dollars I might add ^_^

You should. I love it. Well, not as much as Final Fantasy, but I still love it. For those who don't know, Wild ARMS is an RPG w/ a western theme....

BlazingStar

It's a turn based RPG. However, you can cancel a move either w/ a certain ability or lose some "Force Points" (Kind of like MP) and re-choose your command.

Thats interesting.

I might check it out this summer. I prefer portables though, that is my most of my console games haven't been beaten lol. Although I have beaten almost all, if not all, of my GB/GBA/DS games.

The Chrono series is the epitome of RPG gaming in my opinion, followed closely by the FF series of course.

Shadow Hearts is a great series, and Xenogears is fantastic also.

I'm quite partial to NAMCO's Tales series, and Nippon Ichi strategy games are wickedly good.

Until Kingdom Hearts came along i didn't particulaly enjoy action RPGs, but i love them now, Y's VI was a nice little break from turn based battles as well.

It's Game On!!!

I enjoy all types of RPGs myself.  Some of my favorites (other than FF of course) are the KOTOR, kingdom hearts, the breath of fire series, mario RPG, and the star ocean series.  The legend of dragoon was a solid game, and i have been meaning to get my hands on the grandia games, but i dont know if i have enough time anymore now that im in college.

I'm looking into getting the Shin Megami Tensei RPG's but dopnt have a US or JP PS2, The only one I know of that was released on European shores, was Nocturne (its called Lucifers Call over here) which I'm going to get pretty soon.

I LOVE Disgaea and quite enjoy Makai Kingdom also, but I'm not all that interested in FFTA, I just cant get into it. In fact a couple of GBA RPG's I've found difficult to get into, I quite like KH:Chain of Memories and Boktai 2: Solar Boy Django, but never got on with the Golden Sun games, the characters and story felt lacking in something.

Nocturne is a very good game but it will affect you if your a religous person. but the game is very fun and enjoyable.

As far as I'm aware, KH2 is getting a late April release in the US, but the EU doesnt have even the lsightest hint of a date for either FFXII or KH2, damn there being so many different languages for them to put into them!
