This gen:
1. Demon's Souls-By far my favorite game this gen. I dont need to say more.
2.Persona 3/4:While they might be on the PS2, they still were released this gen.
2.Valkyria Chronicles-It has been awhile since Sega delivered a game I enjoyed this much.
3. Folklore-I loved the artistic style of the game. Both characters were great (tho a bit repetative) and I must admit, that ending just, I dont know, gets me. Love the game.
4.Mass Effect-Completely epic start to finish. From the story to the crew, to the main villian it was one hell of a ride. I liked how they tried to include as many RPG elements as they could, though it all felt like an afterthought.
5. Eternal Sonata-This caught me by suprise. When I heard about the premise I was interested but extremely skeptical. I did not think an RPG based on a musican would work (regardless of how legendary he is), but I am very glad I was wrong.
6. Final Fantasy XIII-Enjoyed it enough that it became the second game I have a plat trophy in (besides Demon's Souls). While it might not rate as high as other FF games, I enjoyed every second of it and cannot wait till XIII-2 or FFvsXIII.
7.Atelier Rorona-Very cute game. The characters were great, the story was silly and the entire experience felt very animelike, and I love Anime.
7.Disgaea 3-While I might not have enjoyed the story as much as I did parts 1 and 2, the third installment definitely added enough gameplay features to give credit to the Disgaea franchise.
8. Mass Effect 2 - Not nearly as epic as the first. They basically did away with all the RPG elements they could, tho that is not completely a bad thing. While I might have enjoyed the gameplay more (it made more sense) the story was not even close to as amazing as the first. Main Villain? Shepards place in his/her organization? Who you report too? Crew? None of them compare to the first.
9. Dragon Age: Origins-Loved the combat system, the characters and the main villains (the darkspawn were a great idea), but it is still the ugliest RPG I have played this gen. At times the animation was completely laughable.
9.Lost Odyssey-I do not know why, but I did not enjoy this game nearly as much as most people did. While I am very glad I played it and will definitely play it again in the future, I just cannot put it into words my problem with the game.
10. Star Ocean 4: The Last Hope Int.-Loved all of it but Emo-Edge. That nearly ruined the game for me. Right when you finish with Emo-Edge...you ge Emo...yea Ill leave it at that.
11.Oblivion-Elder Scrolls 2: Daggerfall is one of my favorite games on the PC. For whatever reason, I could never get the feeling I had during Daggerfall while playing Oblivion.
12.Borderlands-Enjoyed the game for what it was, but the lack of a real story just got me. I will say tho, this is the first "RPG" that I enjoyed coop since Secret of Mana.
13.Magna Carta 2-I beat it and did not find that a waste of time. that cannot be that bad can it?
14. Trinity Universe/Last Rebellion/Cross Edge-Very animeish (this is a very good thing) but the game play made me cry a bit inside.
Ill leave the list there. Long enough as it is.
My favorite RPG series = Suikoden. If they release a real Suikoden game it will definitely make this list.
