So talking to a friend on steam just now and I thought I'd ask this..... Again/////

What are your top 10 favorite RPG games?

For me, it as follows -
1- Skies of Arcadia
2- Final Fantasy VI
3- Elden Ring
4- Grandia 2
5- Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura
6- A tie between Lufia and Lufia 2
7- The ORIGINAL Final Fantasy
8- Wild Arms
9- Might and Magic (NOT the Heroes) 3
10- Dungeon Magic: Sword of the Elements

As an extra, a small GA hidden behind a Jigidi.

Is it okay to say three only? Ten feels like a lot to think about right now hehe

In no particular order, I choose Legend of Legaia (the first RPG I've ever played), Breath of Fire IV (the most amount of hours dumped on a videogame for me), and Final Fantasy X (thought about choosing FFIX, but I feel that FFX really marked the end of my console days - probably the last game I played before storing my PS2 back in the day and never installing it again)

I chose only J-RPG's because that's what I played most!

Lists? You want lists? I have a list which lists the 10000 best lists on Earth! I am #1 on the list of "experts on lists"!

Hm, 10 favorite RPGs, that is it? Such a paltry request... I will indulge you :D :D

  1. System Shock (1994). Score: 100/100.
  2. Mass Effect 2 (2010). Score: 98/100.
  3. The Witcher 3 (Wild Hunt) (2015). Score: 96/100.
  4. Planescape: Torment (1999). Score: 95/100.
  5. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (1998). Score: 94/100.
  6. Knights of the Old Republic (2003). Score: 94/100.
  7. Final Fantasy VIII (1999). Score: 92/100.
  8. The World Ends with You (2007). Score: 92/100.
  9. Final Fantasy VII (1998). Score: 92/100.
  10. System Shock 2 (1999). Score: 92/100.

In case you do not consider some of the above as RPGs (System Shock and Mass Effect could be called "Action with RP components"; Zelda could be "Action/Adventure"), here are a few more:

  1. Guild Wars: Prophecies (2005). Score: 91/100.
  2. The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind (2002). Score: 91/100.
  3. The Legend of Zelda: The Phantom Hourglass. Score: 91/100.
  4. Baldur's Gate 2: Shadows of Amn (2000). Score: 90/100
  5. The Witcher Enhanced Edition (2008). Score: 90/100.
  6. Final Fantasy VI (1993). Score: 90/100.

And more honorable mentions so you see other games I played and enjoyed a lot:

  • The Banner Saga (2014). Score: 89/100.
  • Crypt of the Necrodancer (2015). Score: 89/100,
  • Ghost of a Tale (2018). Score: 89/100.
  • South Park: The Stick of Truth (2014). Score: 89/100.
  • Wizardry 8 (2001). Score: 89/100
  • Betrayal at Krondor (1993). Score: 89/100.

And then: Baldur's Gate, Bastion, Driftmoon, Fallout, Freedom Force, Jade Empire, Dragon Age Origins, Legend of Grimrock 2, Chrono Trigger, Starward Rogue, Ultima 6: The False Prophet, Ultima Underworld 2: Labyrinth of Worlds, Wasteland 3.

And... ok, you are probably saturated by now. :D

Cheers!

Roughly in order:

  • Chrono Trigger
  • Final Fantasy 6
  • Final Fantasy 10

Now that I think of it, I'm not sure that I've actually played any other RPGs to completion. Wait no, I did also play Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles. (It was OK, but not worthy of a favorites list.)

Not sure if you've played it already, but I'd recommend starting with Planescape: Torment. I've been playing a few classics myself, recently, and that was by far the best one.

I probably don't even know 10 RPGs :D

Fallout, Skyrim, Mass Effect, Witcher would probably be my favorite ones without any order. Maybe witcher at first as that one is legendary.

I almost always never finish RPG games, probably because I usually stop mid-to-end game grind. From the one's I've finished, here's my top 10 in no particular order:

Suikoden 2
Final Fantasy 7 original
Final Fantasy 9
Witcher 3
Chrono Cross
Fallout 3
Mass Effect Trilogy
Monster Hunter World
Valkyria Chronicles
Pokémon Yellow

After some thought I really don't finish my games lol. Last 2 were the bottom of the barrel games I've actually finished.

Actually i'm not sure what classifies as RPG or not. FFVII and VIII are definitely close to the top, since i know these counts.

Did you beat Golden Sun: Dark Dawn? I ask because it is the first game that I dropped on the final boss battle because the fight was frustrating me to no end.

I do, I use the cheat at the end lmao, it was hard to fight the final boss normally, it was frustrating to fight the boss in the end. Well at least got the ending, its shame I need to fight the boss with cheat 🥲, because you need to grind the exp. I use emulator to play it.
