Anyone hear of that Conception 2 game that's coming out next month? Looks really weird, but it is an Atlus Vita game, so I may get it...

I'm not someone who normally plays RPG's, well not proper RPG's anyway. I played games like Borderlands and Deus Ex: Human Revolution which have RPG elements. But anyway, what RPG game or series would you recommend to someone who doesn't normally play this genre? I would like to give them a go but am unsure what is good to get into for an RPG noob like me

Well, I would definitely try Bravely Default, if you have a 3DS. Best Final Fantasy to come out in years, and people look at Final Fantasy as kind of the "defining" JRPG. If you don't like turn-based, there's action-RPGs like Skyrim (people argue on whether or not it's an RPG, I consider it to be one). Fire Emblem Awakening is also an amazing game (once again, on 3DS). If you happen to have a Wii lying aroung, Xenoblade Chronicles was good, and if you have a PS3 I would look into getting the Tales of Symphonia collection that's coming out, those were some great games. If you have a 360, The Lasy Odyssey is also quite nice. The Star Ocean series is also a pretty good action JRPG collection, with awesome stories and characters to boot. There's just so many out there, I'm sure you'll find something that you like :)

I've heard good things about that. I should try the demo first. Also thanks for pointing this out but i'm glad the RPG world goes far beyond Final Fantasy. I'll have to look out for these. Personally, I think I would enjoy action RPG's more. Hopefully, Valkryia Chronicles or Tales series is cheap now if I can find it.

@the2real4mafol,
ps1 : final fantasy 8
ps2 : final fantasy 10
ps3 : ni no kuna wrath of the white witch
360 : lost odyssey, tales of vesperia
wii : xenoblade
3ds : bravery default
vita : y's memories of celetral tree

any of those games , would be good starters and would also show why we in here love the genre so damn much :)

Thanks for the help :)

With the recent turn of events regarding robotechheaven, I'd hate to see this thread disappear into VGC-hell. So, i'm gonna post here as to what current RPG i'm playing and I'm hoping more people will do the same.

We need this historic VGC thread to be kept alive.

As for me, i'm currently replaying Diablo 2: LoD as a new Zealadin. Since my WW Barb found a Paladin Hellfire Torch, I decided to go back to my original D2 build. Currently at level 58 (just 2 more levels till annihilus) on Act II Nightmare, playing at Players 7 modifier.

Also waiting to get my PS3 back so I can go back to Dark Souls 2 and Ni No Kuni. What about you guys?
