What is the best RPG currently out on the PS3?

What? A topic with so few answers. Basically it's Oblivion or FO3, and I would have to say Oblivion. By the end of 09 it should be FF13, but really what else will there be? So sadzmbi_gmr

let's hope that there won't be any delays. i'm really excited for FF13, but there is always White Knight Chronicles ( if it ever makes it out of Japan) :)

Oblivion for now.

Final Fantasy XIII when it comes out. Should be out in 2009.

Valkyria Chronicles was definitley my favourite. You won't find another game like it. Fallout 3 was good, but it felt very 'been there done that'. I just plain didn't like Oblivion. There was barely any variety (other than in the Dark Brotherhood quests), the combat sucked and the levelling system was horrible. Silent-Hal

Valkyria Chronicles is the best rpg I have played on the ps3 so far. I tried oblivion and fallout but they felt so open ended that I stopped caring after a half hour.

I'm suprised no one has mentioned Eternal Sonata. Even if it's on the 360, most other games mentioned are tor-teest

I wasn't loving the demo too much so I picked up valkyria instead. Do you think the game is really worth a try?

Valkyria Chronicles has been somewhat overlooked, but is one of the best games I've played in my lifetime. The story is outstanding and you won't find another RPG on the consoles that has so many fully detailed characters (50 playable soldiers in addition to the rest of the story characters), each with their own well-done voice acting and unique personality that comes to life in battle. The game can be challenging, but not too difficult to finish, and if you do like story elements then you'll probably get attached to this game. That's what I'd nominate for best PS3 rpg.

I have Fallout 3 and Oblivion, and I like Fallout 3 better than Oblivion. Fallout 3 is like a huge Oblivion mod, only much improved. The characters look better and there's more of a variety to the voice acting, plus faces seem far less robotic and lifeless. Fallout 3 also has trophies. Oblivion is a great game, especially with the expansion, but the side quests are way more interesting than the main one. For some reason, I can't think of a single person in Oblivion who I actually cared about, even whether they live or die, lol. When I played Fallout 3 I actually felt my conscience come into play.

Disgaea 3 spins around in my mind a lot. Sometimes I think it should be my favorite RPG on the PS3, but then I think I'm biased because I love FFTactics so much and Disgaea is so similar, only with far deeper gameplay and development of characters... there are so many classes to unlock and monsters to capture and then make your own character out of... and then I think, how can I be so fond of a game that looks like a PS2 game? Disgaea 3 is the PS3 RPG I will still be playing after I get bored of the other ones.

I haven't played Eternal Sonata yet, but the demo was really good. That is the problem... so many PS3 games and so few dollars to spend. Thank goodness Giftmas came so I could get a few games!

i've downloaded the demo to valkyria chronicles,but haven't played it yet. been to busy. is it really that great? it was one of those games that i was gonna impulse buy,but then talked myself out of it because of the whole war aspect. i know that sounds strange, but i enjoy more fantasy in my games. i've read the reviews and they are all the same. what makes valkyria chronicles so fantastic? i know it has a solid story and sick visuals, but what else sets this game apart from the rest?

Valkyria Chronicles is the best in my opinion. It's just a well-rounded game. The story, battle system, and characters are all wonderful.

Fallout 3 is also very good, but I played it on the 360.

Fallout 3 all the way. The atmosphere just blows my breath away.

Plus blowing up Megaton is insanely fun (I probably do it at least twice a day). Yes, I keep a save file just so I can blow up Megaton.

That is interesting that you mention talking yourself out of it because of the war aspect. VC could be an ideal game for you. In an interview with the developers, they said they chose the unique watercolor appearance because they wanted the game to focus more on the human aspect than the violence. I don't recall seeing any blood in the game, although I could be wrong, it's just been a month or so since I played it (I finished the game and had teary eyes at least twice during the game). In other words, it's not Fallout 3 with pretty colors, it's more of a character focused game and deals with some issues that parallel our own world. I personally think it's a shame if you have a PS3 and don't own this incredible exclusive.

And to the few people about who said Disgaea 3 was first or second, thank you for reassuring me that I'm not crazy for liking a sprite-based game so much.

What IYO is the best rpg out on the PS3? FO3? Oblivion? corn_dogs

AMEN BROTHER! Well said! I think most Bethesda games are TOO open ended. It's almost like the game creators didn't know what direction they wanted to lead the player in so they let the player figure it out instead. I like the idea of an open world, but I like the idea of opening up the world AFTER you finish a good chunk of the main quest. Provided you have a good story of course...

Anyways...best RPG on PS3 is definitely VALKYRIA CHRONICLES!

It feels fresh. It requires strategic thinking. Great story. Great graphics. It's a hybrid RPG, strategy game/shooter. It's genuinely unique and it's a PS3 exclusive too!

If you're going to get Fallout 3, get it on PC or Xbox 360 if you have the option to.

non repetitive missions...now that intrigues me. someone else said that it feels fresh with new ideas and such. maybe i will try it out in a few weeks after i play some new games that i got over the holidays. thanks.
