The RPG gaming world went ablaze when talk of Dragon Age’s release came closer. I imagine soon, with the release of the new Pokemon game, and the surprising announcement of Dragon Quest IX coming exclusively to the DS, the RPG options there will explode, but for now your best bet in the RPG realm on handhelds is with the Game Boy Advance.

Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door was a return to the Paper Mario fun they coined in the N64 days, this time around with the RPG elements the game seems to work best with. Originally released in Japan on the Super Famicom, Tactics Ogre is considered a “masterpiece” according to RPGamer.

These MMORPG’s have also had the most success with mainstream gaming, with top-selling games such as World Of Warcraft setting all kinds of subscription and sales records which had never been enjoyed by RPG’s as a whole until very recently. It was smaller, shorter, and less engaging than what was claimed, but it was still a solid, fun game to play.

The only reason the game is not getting a 10 rating in this department is the fact that while leveling characters is not a problem in the beginning and middle of the game, once a character reaches the higher levels (above 60) it becomes a very time consuming, tedious process to level up the character sometimes taking hours upon hours to raise a character just one level.

10 Rare And Expensive Playstation 1 Games

The original PlayStation system was one of the best selling consoles of all time but there are many games for the system that are hard to find. With rebuilt cinematics and PSP controls, this entry leads into the new PS2 game wonderfully and finally lets the rest of us play through Lenneth’s adventure. If you are a fan of the Final Fantasy series, a collector of vintage games, or a person who is interested in getting involved in the series but is worried about the complexity of the newer Final Fantasy titles, this game is for you.

Final Fantasy VIII had a lot to live up to. Its predecessor is regarded as one of the best games of all time, and everyone was expecting VIII to continue that trend. Other influences during this period were text adventures, Multiple-User Dungeons (MUDs) and roguelike games.

4. Jade Empire – Set in a fictional ancient China, Jade Empire comes from the makers of Knights of the Old Republic, and while not nearly as large in scope or length, the game utilizes an array of different combat styles and elements that make it sheer fun to play.

If you enjoy indie games, I assume you do because you have no reason not to, Bastion is one of the greatest samples for that. Blending together the traditional elements of a Japanese RPG with the up-tempo pacing and styling of an action game, Square’s effort to make a dark and cinematically intriguing game was a resounding success. There are many plot twists that include cut scenes involving characters that allow the player to have a “real-time” feel with the story.

Final Fantasy III is one of what many consider to be the classics for RPG genre games. As a matter of fact, with all of the side quests and obtainable items, weapons, armor, and magic, the game could possibly be one of the hardest RPG’s created for the SNES to obtain a “perfect” or 100 percent complete game.

The best in the series with the possible exception of Suikoden II, Suikoden III tells the story of a huge cast of characters, all intricately entwined with one another. These were followed by (but did not always lead directly to) games on other platforms, such as Akalabeth (1980) (which gave rise to the well-known Ultima series), and Wizardry.

Final Fantasy 3

The PlayStation is widely-regarded as the console that brought RPG games to the mainstream, and this appraisal is well deserved. These two points have a great meaning, they allow the player to associate himself with a certain character and being in his shoes to go through the situations which are impossible in ordinary life. Dark Cloud 2, Final Fantasy X, the Shin Megami Tensei games and many more deserve recognition, but alas these are also long as hell, so if you had more than 5, when would you ever finish them.

All of the elements that make the other games in the series enjoyable are here. 4. Final Fantasy XII – The newest release, released only two weeks before the PlayStation 3’s release, this game redefines the epic scope of prior Final Fantasies, literally reaching for the stars.

What is an adventure quest RPG? Secondly, any decent RPG is based on some world (sometimes, realistic but more often-fantastic one). An adventure quest RPG can be either real time action or turn-based action. Please don’t hesitate to give any feed back on any information you might have on adventure quest RPG’s whether it be cheat or new games on the market any information would be much appreciated.

The player can rename all of the characters in the game including the ever present summons (called Espers in FFIII). The story, like any Atlus game is the real selling point and actually got me to play through it twice. Having a female as the main character in the game is a concept that was not used very much prior to Final Fantasy III.
Sometimes playing RPG on the computer you may suddenly want to act the way not offered by the plot of the game. Final Fantasy VIII was an exhilarating experience that has earned its place on this list.
