Skies of Arcadia has a really rich world. I also like to storyline if the Phantasy Star series on the Mega Drive but my favorite when it comes to scale and depth if that of Panzer Dragoon Saga.

My favourite is probably the RPG from your profile pic. Phantasy Star 4 is nostalgia in a box for me. It was my first RPG, and all the twists and deaths have stuck with me to this day. The characters, the music, the sounds, the combat, the sand worms...all great. The recent PS games lack the storytelling of that fourth game.

Agreed. What I like in a great RPG is also when it fits into a larger narrative, like how PS4 (meaning Phantasy Star 4 :)) continues the thousand year story of the planets, biomonsters, dark force and so on. And Zio is in a lot of ways a great new adversary. And, I remember how happy I was to meet the Wren android again, it was one of the highlights of PS3.
