Forums - Gaming Discussion - Top 10 RPG's this Gen (7th, so no 3DS/Vita)

I really haven't played that many JRPG's this gen, especially compared to last gen. So I've only really got two to put:

= 1. Valkyria Chronicles

= 1. Xenoblade Chronicles

I didn't enjoy FF XIII or Enchanted Arms enough to put them on a list of 'best', really.

You're not limited to put down JRPG's for this list. Many people here include Mass Effect and FallOut.

for me:
nier
eternal sonata

dragon's dogma
resonance of fate

1. Fallout 3 (Xbox 360)
2. Xenoblade (Wii)
3. Tales of Vesperia (Xbox 360)
4. Dragon Age: Origins (PC - the far superior way to play this game)
5. Skyrim (Xbox 360)
6. Oblivion (Xbox 360)
7. Borderlands (PC)
8. Dark Souls (360, would probably be much higher on this list if the difficulty didn't drive me nuts)
9. Fallout: New Vegas (360)
10. Pokemon Diamond (DS)

Haha, I know, but thanks for pointing that out :P

I don't really like WRPG's so I don't play them at all, or if I do it's only fleetingly with a friend's copy.

What are your top 10 favorite RPG's this gen? Can be Western or Japanese, and on 360, PS3, Wii, DS, and/or PSP.

Mine are:

1. Chrono Trigger (DS)
2. Mass Effect 2 (360)
3. Lost Odyssey (360)
4. Pokemon Black/White (DS)
5. XenoBlade Chronicles (Wii)
6. Valkyria Chronicles (PS3)
7. Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon (DS)
8. FallOut 3 (PS360)
9. Too Human (360)
10, Pokemon HeartGold/SoulSilver (DS)

However I think Mass Effect 3, Radiant Historia, and Tales of Vesperia (among other JRPG's I have yet to beat) will enter the list in the future. I'm so behind on my RPG's.

That was kind of weird.

You asked for games from the 6th generation and you top your list witha  port from a SNES game. Doesnt really make sense, the game wasnt created on the 6th gen. Even the DS version is a port of the Psone version + touch screen controls.

But it's still a DS game, which is 7th gen. May be a port, but still damn good. Fire Emblem is also a remake of a Japan only title
.

If I had to give a list excluding ports I would add

11. Tales of Vesperia (360) - in process of beating
12. Radiant Historia (DS)- in process of beating

Fire emblem for the DS was a full on remake, not a port indeed. But chrono trigger really is a port, even if its a really great game. It just wasnt recreated this gen. Otherwise we would have to consider things like Phantasy star 2 that came out this gen for the Xbox360 (xbox live) for example. It gets a bit silly.

That's true, I guess because there is a hardcopy I made an exception.

Also with games like Fire Emblem: Sdhadow Dragon and Final Fantasy 3. I wouldn't count them because they are remakes, but because they are remakes of games that were never before localized outside of Japan. So to gamers like me, they are brand new experiences.
