Arcanum, best rpg ever!
Played Neverwinter Nights two years ago.
Now it's just mmorpgs for me, WoW and Anarchy Online.

Man, I'm 10 hours into Dragon Quest VIII. This game is awesome...

I'm really looking forward to Persona 3.. I wish the Shin Megami Tensei games were cheaper to come by.. Nocturne goes for like $100.. fuck.

No way there's FF3 for DS? That's my all time favorite. Along with Chrono Trigger

I've always wanted to play Oblivion and I'm excited about Fallout 3 but I never have the cash or hardware to play them.

But apart from those, I'm not really into rpg games. All the stereotypical anime gay shit make me hate rpgs.

"anime gay shit". What? I dunno what RPG you've seen or been playing, but I've never played one with "anime gay shit". Unless you've been secretly playing dating game simulators or something.. the anime gay shit stays in Japan 99% of the time..

Inhuman, I think you're confusing Final Fantasy 3 with Final Fantasy 6... 6 was released for the SNES AS 3... the actual Final Fantasy 3 was never released here until last year on the DS... though final Fantasy 6 (again, the SNES Final Fantasy 3) was released on the Game Boy Advance about 4 months ago with a new dungeon and shit.. pick it up.

Also, what's the longest you guys have put into an RPG? It took me 74 hours to do everything in Xenogears...

OH, and Legend of Mana.. I have that too.. it actually is really rare.. I got a copy for $10.. it goes for $60 now... haha.. I actually own every game Square released on the PS1 except Tobal, Parasite Eve 2, and Vagrant Story.. but I'll get them...

Good call on legend of mana, I always tried to make the ideal map that could fit the entire storyline in.

hmmm, about the final fantasies; I have FF3 on SNES which was released over 10 years ago, and FF6 on PS1 which is the same thing with tonnes of additions. I really should get a gameboy...

final fantasy VI is the best rpg. without a doubt.
for those that grew up with great rpg's, you should feel blessed.
i miss playing all those classic games for the first time.
super mario rpg started it all for me, and then secret of mana, illusion of gaia, etc.
good shit.

hell yeah illusion of gaia..

enix is so werd.. soul blazer, evo...actraiser.. all those games are so weird.

My friend plays EVE online which is pretty interesting in a completely academic/economic way.

yeah, it just takes a long time to finish these games.

Soul Blazer; now that was quite the game. Neat idea with defeating the batch of enemies, step on that thing they come out of, a building appears in the city, and you talk to people in the building to complete the storyline. I love it.

I also used to play Gothic II. (in my humble opinion, the greatest RPG of all times), Morrowind and Diablo II. like crazy.

Oh, and there was this marvellous RPG game called Albion that was something like an introduction to role playing games for me and caused many sleepless nights for the then-teenage _slavo_ :

Anyone familiar with this one?

AHHHHH Diablo II , of course .
i've never played Gothic II...ill check it out .
Never heard of Albion .

I've played WoW for a while and it was pretty fun, but you to put too much time in it to get good that really sucked all the fun out of it.
Yeah I'm a geek.

I hate first person shooters and sports games... I also love games like Zelda (which is kinda an RPG), Ico, Shadow of the Collossus (which have lots of puzzle and adventure elements in them), and my all time favorite game is Super Metroid... I also love Treasure, the best game company ever (Gunstar Heroes!!!!!) and I love all those flying shooting games (Gradius, Radiant Silvergun, Ikaruga, etc.)....

But anyway, yeah, my favorite genre is definitely the RPG.. was wondering who else loved 'em... lately, I've been playing Grandia and Dragon Quest VIII... I've beaten most of the Final Fantasy games and tons of other Square games (XENOGEARS!!!!!!!!, Secret of Mana, Chrono Trigger, the crappy Chrono Cross, etc... I tried to get into Kingdom Hearts, but it's fucking terrible!)... I also really like the Breath of Fire series. Oh yeah, I jsut beat this awesome game called Odin Sphere which is some kind of weird 2D Action/Adventure/Strategy/RPG/Beat-em-up or something.. it was amazing.. uhh... so yeah.

I'd say my top 10 is:

1. Xenogears
2. Chrono Trigger
3. Super Marior RPG
4. Breath of Fire II
5. Final Fantasy VI
6. Secret of Mana
7. Beyond Oasis
8. Phantasy Star IV
9. Final Fantasy IX
10. Landstalker

Something like that...

oh my god!!!! xenogears is my absolute favorite game of all fucking time! jesus!

other than that, it's Lunar: the silver star, Breath of Fire (the first three), FF7, FF8, FF3, Secret of Mana, and the Shining Force games. i actually just sold my wii (and replaced it with the iphone) because there were no good rpgs coming out.
