What is the best RPG?

[MR.Knowitall]

What is the best RPG to buy for the computer or a PS2 :confused:

[Kane]

The greatest RPG of all time is arguable. I'd say either: Chrono Trigger or Xenogears

[MR.Knowitall]

Thank you this game is sweet ;) if you know of any more games this please tell me.

[Kane]

I like FFTactics too, but there are hundreds of amazing RPGs out there.

[MR.Knowitall]

Besides the graphic diferences between FFT and the other newer
FF's that was the best one.

[RedMob]

you guys have ps2 CD's??

[zerocopy]

For me its ff7 on the psx :)

[Auri87]

i would say for the ps2, MGS2SOL
for the psx, tales of destiny 2

[Demigod]

Definitely Chrono Trigger. I just :love: that game. Too bad the sequel wasn't as good.

[Ninjaa]

Chrono Trigger is the best RPG of all time.

On SNES! NOT PSone!

[REi_FoX]

thats right chrono trigger

[Kellicros]

I like Thousand Arms and Tales Of Destiny 2 very much, both are on PSX.

*Moving to Game discussion forum*

[Florindel]

I´d go for the Suikoden. Plus, there´ll be a sequel in no time!

[fox-]

you could try summoner, i've got it on the pc, but there is also a ps2 version. i've seen it on sale for $20.

[RhombusYSS]

I don't know why everyone hates CT PSX version... if you play it on the emu and enable PC FPS calculation, save and load times are instantaneous... just like playing on a SNES. Plus you get all the nice cool extras

[REi_FoX]

it is really slow!!!!

[RhombusYSS]

Why am I ignored? Yeah, it's slow on the console, but like I said, enable the PC FPS calculation in any of Pete's GPU's and save and load times are instantaneous... Same speed as SNES.

[Ninjaa]

Rhombus, I don't like it because the music and sounds just don't sound right, the graphics don't look as good, and the movies on the English CT disk are slow as hell. (You would know what I meant if you ever saw the Japanese FMV)

Basically, I just got the movies ripped off the Japanese CD, and play Chrono Trigger on ZSNES, or on my SNES. Either of them work fine, although I prefer ZSNES most of the time because my monitor and sound system kick so much ass compared to my TV.

[VTB]

well as for best RPG game it's Chrono Trigger.

But since u asked for a pc game. FF7 or Fallout (2).

[Eface]

nice series to play one after another

suikoden, suikoden 2.
legend of dragoon has got some nice graphics.
there's lotsa good rpg's out there

[Florindel]

Skies of Arcadia is good, and will be released for PS2 soon.

[Ninjaa]

Not soon... It is pushed back past May 2003 for PS2. More than a year basically. It should be out by Christmas for GameCube.

[Kane]

The English FMVs for CT seem choppy, even when I extracted them to avi's

[Killua]

Baldur's Gate II: Throne of Bhaal is the most complex, exquitisite, and the best, for me, that is.. sorry if its a pc game:_

[sxamiga]

The best RPG? that is quite hard to say, since there are so many out there. But for me, on the PSX it would be Wild Arms, SNES- Breath of Fire, Genesis-Phantasy Star 4, PC (you did say computers, right?)-Dungeon Siege, SMS-Phantasy Star, and NES-Final Fantasy.
sincerely,
sx/amiga

[The Vagrant]

Oh yes do give the Breath of Fire's a whirl...very fun.

[fujita]

Two words : Valkyrie Profile. :D
A game that made me addicted.

It's a problem with the English version, and one of my biggest problems with the CT PSX game. I seriously don't think Square could get any lazier. The Japanese movies are nice and smooth. (But it still sucks on PSX)

[fujita]

Another thing that I found in CT PSX (it maybe not too obvious), the battle loading seems take a bit longer time than before. Anyone notice this?

[Ninjaa]

Load times in general are more pronounced in Chrono Trigger PSX. Just another reason to hate it. It was a lot better than Final Fantasy 4, 5, or 6 on the PSX though.

[Jordi_Overlord]

Chrono trigger an Chrono Cross are amazing
I you prefear FF series the best are FF6 and FF8
(any of the Square games are highly recomended) :)

[Ninjaa]

ummm... yeah.

Have you ever played Legend of Mana? If that game doesn't make you cringe, Parasite Eve 2 will for sure. You could also throw in a dash of FF8, or Saga Frontier too.

Trust me, Square is not the best gaming company ever. Lately their games have just sucked.

[dark_kniteuk]

it has to be final fantasy 7 or zelda 3 on the snes

[Xkalibur]

I like secret of mana because not only was it like Zelda but it was also allowed 3 people to play at once. It had great graphics an alright story and the best gameplay there was in its time. Secret of mana 2 was also good bt lacked the multiplayer option. It though have better graphics and a better story. It also allowed you to choose 3 characters to play with out of 6 you could start with. Allowing for plenty of replayability. Both these games were on the best RPG console to date the Super Nintendo.

[Cless]

Baldur's gate is the best rpg on the PC that I have very played. On the psx I like grandia, star ocean, and both Lunar's. I like to play ct on epsxe because I have in iso form and d3d or opne gl do an better job at render it than zsnes.

[RhombusYSS]

If you wanna use D3D or OpenGL, you can use SNES9X cause that can use direct3d and OGL filtering... I played through CT using it and it looks great

[fujita]

Saga Frontier is good, well, at least for me it's not that bad for an old game. :D You should hear the musics. Its' cool.

[Strider]

i dunno... i never really found either saga frontier or baldurs gate that good a game, saga frontie i stopped playing early on, didnt really like how it played, and baldurs gate i got to chapter 5 but it got really boring

[sxamiga]

I know I have already had my say on this subject, but i did fail to mention one other excellent RPG. Unfortunately, a lot of you will never get to play it. That RPG is VAY and it was released for the Sega CD. AFIK it has never been released for any other system.
Excellent game.
sincerely,
sx/amiga

[Ryos]

I don't think any RPG will be able to surpass Planescape: Torment. That game was really something else.

> That RPG is VAY and it was released for the Sega CD.

It is pretty good, but it also isn't a PS2 or PC game. :p

[sxamiga]

Ryos, I only mentioned it because the Sega CD is now emulated, quite well I might add, on the PC. So fi you could find it, you could play it on an emulator on the PC. I kow that it is not a PS2 or PC game, that is why I mentioned that it was for the Sega CD, so as not to mislead anyone.
sincerely,
sx/amiga

[Florindel]

But isn't VAY only in Japanese?

[G-Pitts]

Suikoden 2, FF7 and FF8... Games that make me didnt sleep just to finish them :)

[sxamiga]

Florindel, no, VAY was released in the US in English. The company that released it was Working Designs. They also released Lunar and Lunar 2 for the Sega CD. Both in English and both in the US.
sincerely,
sx/amiga

[Xkalibur]

I dont think i could chooose a favourite RPG actually. I like hem all and have played so many over so many different types of consoles its not funny. I mean i llike Diablo 2 on the PC, Secret on Mana on the SNES, Suikoden 2 on the playstation, Shining Force on the genesis, and soo many more. What can i say, I'm an RPHG Freak.:emb:

Thanks for reminding me about that one...It was great as well. I too found bg1 somewhat boring but bg2 is a lot better in my opinion.

[Laguna Loire]

Best RPG on computer or Playstation is FF8. Chrono Trigger isn't very far behind either.

[Cless]

Oh god did I hate FF8 but I don't think I sould get into another agrument about that.

[Sho]

Valkyrie profile
Chrono Trigger
Breath of Fire 3 & 4
FF 3/6 & Tactic
Star Ocean: The Second Story
Parasite Eve 1


There's more games but I didn't have time to play them.

[zerocopy]

And again stfu DELITA!!! stop contradicting DORK..

[Cless]

I can speak my opipion any time anywhere i want on these forums and I will until I am told my a mod or admit that I can no longer say what I want.

[zerocopy]

WHY YOU!!!! if u were here right now i'd beat the living crap out of you, I'd kick you to the curve and put lollipops on your anus!!!

j/k bro say what you wish who care's ne'way..

[Cless]

some how this is one of my oddest arguements.

[zerocopy]

Your arguing with a chicken. Odd enough i guess.

[Cless]

a chicken that can type too.

[zerocopy]

DUMBASS!!! i have a beak we chickens have beaks

[Cless]

I think that must hard to do. I think playing game must be even harder seeing that you must press multiple buttons sometimes.

[Demigod]

FF8 wasn't that bad a game. It was just different. I found it quite enjoyable, although it doesn't come close to the best RPG.

[Shiori]

Thanks for bringing it back to the topic, Demigod. :eyes:

In any case, I liked FFVIII best. I like sappy plotlines, I like junctioning, I like the FMVs in the PC version. So sue me.

[Cless]

I never said there was anything wrong with that opinion it was people attacking me for mine. And there is nothing wrong with going off topin every now and then.

[zerocopy]

How exactly do i sue you shio-ri???

[Cless]

you could peck her seeing that no body take a chicken seriesly in a court room.

[evil aloha]

Valkyrie profile, Chrono Trigger, Breath of Fire, Star Ocean, Final Fantasy, Legend of Mana, Grandia, Zelda.... You have a lot of good RPGs to choose...

[Strider]

yeah, but if they see a chicken in a court room they'll just... rotissarize it... not a bad idea i must add

sincerely,
Strider

[Cless]

and agian i agree with strider what bad away to start a month.

[Jalek]

I never played at chrono trigger (everybody speaks well about it) so it's final fantasy VIII the best rpg at all for me.
Let me play chrono trigger and maybe I change my mind :)

[REi_FoX]

play it on the SNES its really good and fun!!! its one heck of a game chrono is the best!!!!

[G-Pitts]

Another games is Tales of Phantasia and Star Ocean

[evil aloha]

Yeah... play Crono Trigger in SNES... The PSX version sucks!! (much loadings...)

[Cless]

I would suggest that youy try chrono but there are a lotof other great games besides though two.

[Hector]

As lon as psx games are compatible with PS2, Final Fantasy VII & Xenogears (Chrono Cross is a bit arcade, i thinnk:eyes: ).
Xcuses for my terrible English. :yawn:

[evil aloha]

Talking of Xenogears, anyone know anything about the XenoSaga?

[Kane]

It's out in Jap, but no one on English review sites seem to speak jap....
Due here Q1 2k3 I think.

[Cless]

hector i never got xenogears to work on my breackstation 2.

[Kane]

Works fine on mine. In fact, my now year and a half year old PS2 has had no problems at all.

[spajdr]

Dungeon Master,Black Crypt,Final Fantasy VII .. thats my RPG favorites.

[Cless]

Your lucky kane.. my broke before i had for a year.

[ariano_romanov]

2) Morrowind 3
3) Fallout 2
4) Fallout 1
5) Diablo 2 (with exp pack)


sincerely,
Strider

[Cless]
