Forums - Gaming - Can Anyone Suggest an RPG for Me?

I'm absolutely in love with the Suikoden series and everything about those games. Skies of Arcadia and Chrono Trigger go down as my favorite RPGs of all time. Finally, I tend to like a more active battling systems such as FFXII. I'm not a huge fan of random battles, but I can deal with it. So can anyone think of something that I would like? The game can be on any current system.

Edit: Also, I hate games that rely heavily on level grinding. I know, how can you be an RPG fan and hate the grind. I just think some games do it better than others. Chrono Cross didn't even have levels and Suikoden allowed other characters to catch up to your main character's level really quickly.



My Top 5:

Shadow of the Colossus, Metal Gear Solid 3, Shenmue, Skies of Arcadia, Chrono Trigger

My 2 nex-gen systems: PS3 and Wii

Prediction Aug '08: We see the PSP2 released fall '09. Graphically, it's basically the same as the current system. UMD drive ditched and replaced by 4-8gb on board flash memory. Other upgrades: 2nd analog nub, touchscreen, blutooth, motion sensor. Design: Flip-style or slider. Size: Think Iphone. Cost: $199. Will be profitable on day 1.

Get Tales of Symphonia for the gamecube play it on your Wii. If you like it get the sequel coming this fall. I almost loved this game as much as skies but lost only from skies got into a more hardcore gaming...



Former something....

Grandia series i've always liked their system. Though Grandia 3 (PS2) story sucked or more less it was really the voice acting that totally sucked



I suggest Lost Oddysey and Blue Dragon.



What about PS2 games?

Pokemon Pearl, I love the battle sistem.



For more active battle systems the only ones I can think of off the top of my head is Star Ocean. The third one was pretty good, not fantastic but pretty good.



...

if you have ps2 or ps3 with BC get rogue galaxy or get Suikoden V if you have not played it yet

This Suikoden fan recommends for PS2:
Persona 3 FES (the best game for the ps2, no random battles, great story, extremely long quest)
Star Ocean Till the End of Time (no random battles, active battle system, great story)
Xenosaga (one of the most complex stories ever, so complex it spans three games, though the battles are turn based and there are random battles)
Radiata Stories (I'm just beggining this, but it has a lot of characters to recruit, more than 170, and a battle system similar to Star Ocean, so far looks good)
Any Suikoden you may have missed (even IV is worth a play)
Rogue Galaxy is worth a look also




Go find Earthbound for the SNES ^_^ the best RPG's came from the SNES PS1 era IMO so probably FF4, FF6, Earthbound, etc.
