Forums - Gaming - The Best RPGs of Each Console/Gen

Nice thread Skull. I like it! Particularly the banners. Glad to see some Xenoblade love too.

Will update this with my list a little later. Need to have a think.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

Xenoblade Chronicles. That game will ruin every other jrpg for you because none will probably ever come close to its perfection, even Xenoblade X.



tagging for later.



Why not check me out on youtube and help me on the way to 2k subs over at www.youtube.com/stormcloudlive

I have actually not played that many RPG's in my life. Just a handful across all systems. But, Knights of the Old Republic rules the genre for me and almost all of gaming in general so, I'll just say; KotOR wins .

PS1:Final Fantasy 9
PS2:Final Fantasy X/Kingdom Hearts 1 (cant quite decide)
PS3:Ni no Kuni

Wii:Xenoblade Chronicles
DS:The World Ends With You

My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.

Not that Vesperia is a bad game but all the answers for 360 have been wrong so far the best RPG on that system is Lost Odyssey. It has a better story, characters, and soundtrack then Vesperia and since I still prefer turn based over action the combat is better also.



To each his own but some of these lists are seriously WTF?!



PC GAMING: BEST GAMES. WORST CONTROLS

A mouse & keyboard are made for sending email and typing internet badassery. Not for playing video games!!!

Baldurs gate II is the greatest RPG ever. DQ VIII the greatest JRPG.
