Do you alternate between different RPGs or do you soley play one until you beat it and then move on to another and so on and so forth. The reason I use RPGs is because of the length and story.

No, but I DO alternate among other genres. I tend to play one RPG at a time. For example, I'm currently playing Lost Odyssey, Bioshock, Bully, FIFA 08, and Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake. The sad thing is, I will be rotating RPGs soon, probably indefinately, because I expect P3: FES to eat up all of my RPG time. I've pre-ordered Baroque as well, which I kind of regret doing. It probably wont get played for a very, very long time.

I never alternate between different RPGs, or any other game. I'll beat the game before i move on to another one.

I always try to stick with one game at a time also. Only games I would alternate is between console and handheld. Pretty much only play my handheld one away from home either at work or in the car waiting for friends. I also have a gamefly sub, and pretty much they're making good money off of me. I'm the type that likes to take my time with games.

I do have a problem alternating between single player RPGs, not so with MMORPGs. Weird...

No, I usually don't even alternate games. I play one game at a time.

I tend to alternate between 3 RPG's at a time, but try never to have more than one going on any given system at a time.

I try not to. But due to my own stupidity I purchased Lost Odyssey and Crisis Core within in a week's time and I've been alternating between the two. Normally I don't.

I generally will play an rpg the full way through before switching to another one. I alternate between some game types such as action or fps, but not rpgs. They are too involved and I don't like to leave them then come back later.

I will occasionally alternate between games if they're different enough. If I'm playing two RPGs with similar stories or themes it can get difficult.

I will occasionally put a game on indefinite hold however. Sometimes I just don't feel like finishing them.

It depends on how many RPG's I have in my backlog. If I have a bunch, I swap through them until I find one I either enjoy playing more, or seems like it will be quicker to run through. Once I make my pick, I play through the single RPG until it's completed and then start the process over again.

I had one giant alternation. Back when I was younger I was a JRPG fiend. Now I seem to be entirely into the Western style. A lot of Bioware and Elder Scrolls really. I'm trying to attai balance now though. I'm trying to find a few JRPGs for my PS2. FFXII specifically since I havn't played it yet and whatever else tickles my fancy. And I may check out Eternal Sonata.
