Mine is obviously Earthbound
Though my list is thus
1. Earthbound
2. Chrono Trigger
3. Final Fantasy 4
4. Final Fantasy 6
5. Final Fantasy 7

Sad isn't it? the day of the good RPG died with FF7 on PS1 which I would argue that FF7 itself killed it, it became so popular that all other RPGs wanted to be it, even the FF games after wanted to capture that popularity, but bottom line FF7 barely makes my top 5 as I have half a mind to put Paper Mario TTYD or Super Mario RPG in its place

 Why don't you shut the fuck up maxwell, i never said anything about yours so don't say anything about mine.


 Great way to act 12 but thats normal for you and like a 12 year old you have taste in bland and horrible games.

Edit to my list as someone reminded me.

1. Earthbound
2. Chrono Trigger
3. Final Fantasy 4
4. Secret of Mana
5. Final Fantasy 6


It's soooooo cool to hate FFX. It's popular for a reason brother. Look at all the other rpgs coming out at the same time. FFX was better than MOST in terms of: story, gameplay, graphics and music. If it wasn't so popular you wouldn't be calling it bland. Please don't make fun of other's opinions exspecialy when your's is a minority.

FF Tactics!
And if you don't count SRPG as RPG, then it's FF VII.

 But FFX <i>is</i> bad.  The story is mindless blather that's been regurgitated since the beginning of the SNES days (with a moderate pomo twist, that, all things considered, wasn't very good), the music was bland, the voice acting was terrible, the system gave you the illusion of choice with very little of the reality of it, it was linear as all crap, and the balance between story and gameplay was way off - too many endless, useless story scenes, but also too many points where you walk down giant, mostly empty battle-areas, with almost nothing to hook you in terms of neat twists.

 So either my opinion of it was different because I've outgrown RPGs, or the standard for good RPGs has fallen through the floor.

 Anyways, my three favorites are probably Final Fantasy VI, Chrono Trigger and Ogre Battle 64.

I think people who can pick one single RPG as their favorite RPG haven't played enough RPGs.

Nah. They just haven't played Planescape: Torment. :)

I've played dozens of RPGs, PC and console, everything from NetHack to Might & Magic 6 to Chrono Trigger to obscure games like Kartia and Arc The Lad, and nothing comes close... except maybe Baldur's Gate 2



"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."

I'm surprised you'd list Baldur's Gate II and Planescape: Torment without having the likes of Fallout 2 and Arcanum somewhere nearby.

 Crap, I blanked on that one.  Add it to my list.  Fan-tastic.

 Interesting choice. The critics didn't like that game too much, but I absoluted adored it. Dart was cool, and the square in square combo engine reminded me of another fantastic game, Vagrant Story. Good choices, nice to see a LoD lover on this topic.



I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.

NO NO, NO NO NO.

Also for the record, I've never played a Final Fantasy main numbered game that I would consider a "bad" RPG and in fact I have thoroughly enjoyed every single one of them, besides FFXI which I never played.

I think the series is quality through and through.
