favourite RPG
Siert:
For my own well balanced view of RPG I need to think about this, because as some know, RPG's definition is "roleplaying Game" now, this may be taken differently but to me that means you are fitting into the role of a character. Be it a ready made one you are forced to play (Final fantasy genre) Or be it one you create and are able to accomplish many goals by doing as you please (Morrowind). Then there are the Japanese grindfest RPGs, the Online MMORPGs.
Seems to me that RPG is a rather big thing, look at World of Warcraft, the game people swear "Changed the world" I won't lie I played it for 2 years then quit back in November due to the fact I didn't appreciate my effort being thrown back in my face by Blizzard. In truth, sure it changed the view of maybe a couple million gamers, perhaps more adn of course it has made a pretty set milestone in the marks of the history books. (10 million gamers, and probably one of the most (if not THE) most succesful MMO out there.) I mean Final fantasy sure made a milestone in the market, (lets skip on the "FF 9 was better than FF5" debate please).
So in my own short rant here, my favourite RPG has to be one that encompasses a good story, promotes character progression and advancement, reasonabley complex and guides the player through the steps nicely, but not so slow its patronising. I can't think of any game off the top of my head so I will instead list a few of my Preferred RPGs.
EVE online (Yes its an RPG in a very strange way).
Fable
Final Fantasy 1 through 12
Diablo 1 + 2
Now thats probably the créme of the créme of my RPG playing, and I like to think I ahve played a lot, but as I say that is my own opinin, if you wish to disregard my opinion ahs false and lacking any depth, go ahead, I personally feel I enjoyed those games more than I did Morrowind, Fallout etcetera.
Yours Siert.

Grandia II. I loved the battle system and talked the game to death with my friends. Its still the only RPG that ever made me sniffle and tear up a little bit. I'm a wuss, but it was good.
WoW might not be a close second but its still one I devote a good bit of time to. Can't wait for the WotLK beta.

^Grandia 2 was good, but the dialoge in parts was cheesy.
I also don't like it when my pure strength character gets off'd in my RPG's (reference to Grandia 2)
As far as my favorite RPG.....that's a tough one to answer. I can name my top 4
Anything with the word Zelda in it.....and Legend....and of course the and of.....and isn't on a machine made by panasonic.....those don't even fucking count....
Chrono Cross
Chrono Trigger*
Final Fantasy 8
In that order
The Persona Series (except for 2, which I didn't like as much)
*I didn't have a SNES, so I first played it after Chrono Cross on the Bundle pack on the PS1, the one with FFIV. It was awesome, no doubt, but has some serious slowdown and loading issues, that CC didn't have....hell if I know why.
DavidGrohl:
Chrono Trigger
FF9
Warhammer Online (I'm in beta and it's great!)
Diablo 2: LoD
NWN (first one w/ all expansions)

Just wondering here, since MMORPG is making a small approach, thism ight seem a tad bit off but what about MMORPGs? more specifically constantly released new content?
Since I have played deity knows how many MMORPGs, I have encountrered the abuse that my effort gets from dedicated play. Whay I mean to say is that when I spend all my time getting that "Sword of the Apocalypse +40" and come two months its no longer the best weapon but one that gets laughed and mocked because its "Easy to aquire and been super nerfed" Nerfed meaning reduced in its capabilities.
So come more recentley i've stopped playing all MMORPGs except free oens or ones that introduce a unique system where the more effort put in you are rewarded, not punished. Although they are rare and demand a lot of patience.
