Anyone who ever owned one knows the Gamecube did not receive many rpgs, probably only 20-30 titles total for the life of the system. (Still more than the poor n64 though.) However despite the limited selection it still has some good ones, several which were exclusive to the gc. My question to you is simple, what are your favorite rpgs that you played on the cube?
1. Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean - Unique card based battle system is the reason why it's first on my list, I really fell in love with this game.
2. Pokémon XD - The closest thing to a full 3d pokemon game so far, it was awesome trading between this and leaf green too.
3. Paper Mario the Thousand Year Door - I'm guessing this will be the favorite of most of you and it's well deserved. It's a great game, hopefully the next true paper mario game is more like this one.
4. Tales of Symphonia - Still r egarded at the best Tales of game by many, this game stands our to me cuz it was one of the first non turn based rpgs I ever played. It also had great sales for a jrpg on a small userbase, seriously why hasn't nintendo received more tales of games?
5. Fire Emblem Path of Radiance - I would probably have this higher if I was better at FE but I suck and usually lose motivation so I haven't actually seen the credits in this one. Still had lots of fun playing it though.
6. Baldurs Gate Dark Alliance - Fun game, and im not usually into dungeon crawlers. It really shines if you can get a friend to play co-op with.
7. Skies of Arcadia Legends - Well something had to be last and here it is. Not a bad game at all, it's actually really good but the random battle rate is so high I just couldn't get more than 10 hours in. Someday I hope to beat it.
