it can be a western or japanese developer.

which do you think is the best?

back then it was enix, i used to hate square with passion, but now that both merged theres no way any RPG developer comes near their greatness. namco is a close third.

This gen so far its western developers.

FF13 and v13 may change my opinion on that though, also Lost Odyssey 2, if its released.

(IMO) This Gen.

Western, I will go with BioWare.

Japanese, I have really enjoyed what Mistwalker has brought out so far this Gen.

I will stick with what I like this Gen because overall it is just too tough for me.

i remember when square-enix used to rape the genre

now they have been releasing crap

I like Bethesda and Level 5 the best.

Fallout and Oblivion are my two favorite RPG's this gen.

Last gen Dark Cloud 1 and 2 were easily one of the best RPG's.

Shin megami tensei!

I think Square-enix are still best so Japanese.

know i meant it could be either japanese devs or western devs

Japanese....I mean..RPG did not exist till japan made the Genre
