Gaming What is the BEST RPG in your opinion?

[Joshunar]

TWEWY was great. Nobody seems to care about Magical Starsign but I really liked it.

eh.... mario rpg?

Some of what I think will be the best RPG's for DS either aren't out yet or are Japan only for now:

Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days
Avalon Code
Winds of Nostalgia
Dragon Quest 5 and 6 (I know they are remakes, but they count since they never made it to the US)
Black Sigil
Phantasy Star 0
Dragon Quest IX
Mario and Luigi 3

You get my point. That being said, the Final Fantasy and Chrono Trigger remakes are great, but they can't really count when showing off a system since they are remakes. Not to diss them, but they've been done before. I never played Dragon Quest 4, and it's one of my favorites right now.

TWEWY is really fun, despite the fact that I am way too lazy to spell it out.

Mario and Luigi PiT (laziness strikes again) is I believe unfairly bashed and a great addition to the Mario RPG series. Sure it's not quite as good as the other Mario RPGs, but it's still great in its own right.

Chrono Trigger
Secret of Mana
Panzer Dragoon Saga
FFVI

While you have a valid point, I have to partly disagree.

I've never played CT. I've heard it was good, but I don't like spending that much time in front of the TV alone when I could be playing games with others. Now that CT is portable, I want to play it.

Emulation aside, of course.

Chrono Trigger.

Man I hate majority of Final Fantasy games.

 

[Leon1977]

On the DS -

FFIV
Chrono Trigger

Well I certainly agree that it's great. And even more so able to stand on its own since you've never played it! Standing on its own without considering it's a port, I WOULD say it's one of the best RPGs on the DS.

 

[Raika]

Pokemon Gold/Silver/Crystal

 

[Arkansaw]

Uncharted Waters 1-4

 

[kevenka]

Of all time?
I think it would be a tie between...
Chrono trigger
FF VII
Zelda OOT
twewy(maybe this can be excluded)

 

[Edgedancer]

Golden Sun The Lost Age.

 

[Oath]

For the DS? Etrian Odyssey, hands down. Soon to be Black Sigil though.
Best RPG ever? Ys- The Oath in Felghana (PC)

 

[Rod]

On the DS, I'm pretty sure it's The World Ends With You, though Final Fantasy IV was extremely good and really surprised me, being a 17 year old game that I had already finished once and didn't enjoy it at all...

Overall, my favorite is problably Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars. That's an effin' fun game.

 

[Ishidori]

On DS: FF IV (very good remake)
Overall: Chrono Cross / Xenogears (i don't know wich one choose). For me the best of SQUARE.

 

[I_Got_Wii'D]

#1 - Chrono Trigger (Snes)
#2 - Final Fantasy VII (PS1)
#3 - Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII (PSP)
#4 - Legend of Zelda: OoT (N64)
#5 - PoPoLoCrois (PSP)

Well that is my top 5 list. It is kind of hard to pick just the one best, so these are just my favorite 5.

 

[Earl]

#3 - Chrono Trigger (Snes)
#1 - Final Fantasy VII (PS1)
#2 - Legend of Zelda: OoT (N64)

Or something like that, WoW also get some honorable mentions. Though i guess mmoRPG is a completly different genre than just rpg x-d

 

[MyauChanDesu]

Shouldn't this be in the General Console section? If we're talking about any RPG, then Final Fantasy IX is the best. If we're talking about DS RPGs, then Chrono Trigger or Final Fantasy IV.

True here, that game is just wonderful.

 

[LFF]

On DS: TWEWY. Greatest game for the console imo.
On GBA: Mother 3. The best story in any game I've ever played, topped with brimming awesomeness. Sound battles were great.
On PSP: Patapon, damnit.
PATAPON
On PS3: Well, I've only got the demo of it, but I'm saying Valkyria Chronicles. Buy it. Buy it.

 

[DeMoN]

Golden Sun and GS: The Lost Age.
