Hi RPG fans

This is the second thread I have made so it won't be perfect. Anyhow you might be wondering what this post is about, well its simple. Over the next few months I plan to write an article on "The Perfect RPG". This article will be broken up into seperate threads for each chapter with a introduction and conclusion. The article will discuss RPGs (ofcourse) but most importantly what makes the perfect RPG. It's purely an opinion based article with no real weight except to spark the imagination of vgchart members. The fun part is that members will have have an influence over how the article turns out. Since one person cannot write an article on what makes the perfect rpg without having actually played all the rpg games out there. So what I have done is observed the vgchartz top 100 games of all time and picked out all the rpg games in the list (Why wasn't dark cloud 2 in there I have no idea) and have carefully reorganised them into a new list which I will post here. Since members voted on these games I want you to either post below or send me a private post on my profile. I need to know what makes the game you voted for so good. Wheather it be the story, graphics, music or whatever. If you want to go into more detail then that your welcome to do so.

If I have missed any games please yet me know.

I haven't done any spell checking so its not the best post so don't pick apart lol.

Thank you for reading this thread and any contribution will be greatly appreciated :)

I don't know why there is a large section of html code sitting in my original post but if anyone knows let me know.

/facepalm

Don't knock yourself, this thread has had much more effort put into it than 90% of them. It's a good thread.

Cheers glad you approve :)

You should space your text...
Paper mario?
Anyway, Grandia to list!

You appear to be right. Paper Mario is listed as a action game on ign and Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door is listed as a RPG on the same site. I will make the change for my next thread unless I can update my current thread somehow. I will also have a look at Grandia.
