Tie between Radiant Historia and Tales of Symphonia.

Tales of Symphonia has the handicap of being my first RPG, though.

I don't normally play RPGs to be honest, so I'm going to pick Pokemon Ruby. It was the first Pokemon game I played and none of the newer games have bettered it IMO.

Have you played black/White yet? I find that they are better then Ruby

Not yet. To be honest, I can't decide whether I want it or not. On the one hand, it seems quite different from the previous Pokemon games and it looks very good. On the other hand, I'm not keen on the Pokemon I've seen in the game so far, which is quite a big factor for me. Some of the pokemon from Black/White just look stupid to me, such as this one:

My defense of B/W:
Gen 1 had a pile of radioactive gunk. That's not clever design.

Favorite RPG's you say?
I'll just list them all in no particular order:

Secret of Mana
Kingdom Hearts (Series)
Bastion
Sword of Mana
FF3
FF: CC Ring of Fates
FF4
Pokemon Ruby (I put over 400 hours into it. I stopped playing Pokemon when HG/SS rolled along, but still have fond memories of this)
Children of Mana
FF 2 and 1
FF CC Echoes of Time

Sorry for having some many FF's

_______________________________________________________________________



That's my general list. If I had to narrow it down:
Bastion
Sword of Mana (GBA)
Final Fanatasy Chrystal Chronicles: Ring of Fate (DS)
Kingdom Hearts 2




If I have anything to add I'll just edit my general list.

Lost Odyssey (Xbox 360)
Skies of Arcadia (Dreamcast)
Valkyria Chronicles (PS3) It's more a tactical RPG but an RPG none the less and I dare say the best game I have played this console generation.

Tie between Radiant Historia and Tales of Symphonia. Tales of Symphonia has the handicap of being my first RPG, though.

I haven't played Radiant historia or Tales of Symphonia before, are they worth getting?

EDIT: wait, I haven't played skies of arcadia either XD

YES.
Radiant Historia is Chrono Trigger X10.

Buy Radiant Historia NOW! Tales of Symphonia is a super popular game, so you won't have problems finding it, Radiant Historia, on the other hand, is a super underrated game that will most likely be really expensive soon.

Your top priority should be Radiant Historia if you ever want to play it.

Skies of Arcadia: Legends (IE. The Gamecube version with added stuff, slightly better graphics and a MUCH lower random encounter rate.)

Best RPG ever made. Ever.
Anyone who argues otherwise hasn't played it, or has it as a tie.

EDIT: Forgot to add "Best RPG ever made" before "Anyone who..."

Kingdom hearts series. I liked that it wasn't all traditional and almost seemed like more of a action game. Other than that, I like FF13, I thought the gameplay was kind of clever.

I think my number one is Ogre Battle 64 (N64) or Eternal Sonata (XBOX360). They're quite different kind of RPG games that it's actually quite hard to say which one is better.

and the other of my favorites that i remember at this moment:

3. Tales Of symphonia (NGC)
4. Parasite Eve (PSX)
5. Final Fantasy: Mystic Quest (SNES)
6. Secret of the Stars (SNES)
7. Final Fantasy VIII (PSX)
8. Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (GC)
9. Pokemon Sapphire (GBA)
10. Lost Kingdoms (GC)

If Kingdom Hearts can be allowed to post here, then be it:


I wuv Kingdom Hearts!

It should/is one of the highest rating series. Since this is just for RPG not RPG series, I guess I'll add KH 2 to the list.

Also; I stand by my statement. Bastion plays... like a boss
