I am a huge rpg fanatic. Unfortunately having played so many of them I have grown a bit jaded.
Mediocre rpgs to me: Final Fantasy Series, Dragon Quest, Ultima, Might & Magic, Summoner, Suikoden, Kingdom Hearts, Elder Scrolls, and the list goes on and on. (Though some of these series did have high points.)
Good rpgs to me: Planescape: Torment, Gothic, Baldur's Gate (the PC games, not the PS2 games).
My all time favorite: Wizardry VIII
Every time I think about this game I want to load it up and play it again. Open world. Side quests. Many character classes and a variety of bonus characters (that have to be found and added to the party) make for good replayability.
It is a first person, party-based rpg, which is my favorite. Unfortunately nobody makes games like that anymore :(
Anyway, I will add Terranigma to my list of games to play some day.
My prediction (Jan 15th, 2008), total sales by end of 2008:
Wii - 35 million
X360 - 25 million
PS3 - 21 million
