Best Roleplaying Games

Action RPG
The PlayStation is widely-regarded as the console that brought RPG games to the mainstream, and this appraisal is well deserved. 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.

For example, I can tell you from my own experience that once I started the game as a guard (pure RPG adventure) and finished as an emperor (RPG+tactics+strategy). While the Action RPG gamer will find this game very repetitive, the fan of the Turn Based style RPG gamer will love it.

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.

The game was not produced in large quantities but RPG fans love this game because it is fun and historic. Elderscrolls truly stretches the imagination in terms of open world RPG exploration and making a game that will take a long time to finish. There’s no fluff here, and the rebuild of the decades old RPG formula was all for the better, working for the complete and total betterment of the game and hopefully the series.

Bastion Review, The Kid’s Story

Action RPG
It’s not a secret that table RPG games are not so popular as they used to be. However a certain number of amateurs are still fond of them. The game is just as much fun the every other time through as it was the first time through. It has a great story, great sound, and WILL take over your life for a few days if you let it. The characters are original, have many different abilities to use, and have emotions that make playing this game really great.

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.

There are three races the player character can be: human, elf, and dwarf. I loved this game back in the days on the SNES and the idea to bring the 16-bit Final Fantasies to the GBA made me as happy as can be. This was a game I love to play, but feel goofy loading into my PS2 and sitting down to play.

The gaming market is monstrous. Short of an occasional conversational difference based on your race, there really is not much difference from there based on what the player selected. Newer related Sub-genre’s include the Massively Multiplayer Online RPG, which focuses exclusively on online play with a large number of people, within a persisting and constantly changing world.

There are very few songs that last less than five minutes without repeating so the player never really gets the boring monotonous feeling that usually accompanies games from the SNES. Strange as it may seem but computer games are based just on the table systems and the developers of the former ones don’t aim to overcharge machines with numerous correlations and parameters.

For example, I can tell you from my own experience that once I started the game as a guard (pure RPG adventure) and finished as an emperor (RPG+tactics+strategy). While the Action RPG gamer will find this game very repetitive, the fan of the Turn Based style RPG gamer will love it.

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.

Bastion Review, The Kid’s Story

Action RPG
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. Final Fantasy VIII was an exhilarating experience that has earned its place on this list. Firstly, any RPG is a Role Paying Game, which is supposed to have a character, and a system of his development. The first RPG PC games offered a single player experience. As an experienced soldier, The Kid, I mean we players try to find and save all other survivors among monsters in different parts of the map.

Of course, when Final Fantasy VI is released, I might have to replace this with that one, as we all know that VI is the greatest of them all. In this way the player can really have a different experience by playing repeatedly as different characters and treating party members differently.

On the surface, Dissidia might look like a standard ‘beat ’em up’game, but like most of the games in the series, it’s far deeper than that. But not all the table games have such a disadvantage. Also, with all of the other characters in the game, the stories unfold rather nicely for each character.

It’s not a secret that table RPG games are not so popular as they used to be. However a certain number of amateurs are still fond of them. Each character an approval scale of the player character, which fluctuates based on dialogue and quest choices. The characters in Final Fantasy 3 offer a host of clever individual attacks. Table RPG is another matter: the action there is equal to one … Read More...

The PlayStation is widely-regarded as the console that brought RPG games to the mainstream, and this appraisal is well deserved. 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.

Gamers were told that a number of different background stories would be selectable for each race and class a player could use, each one having a significant impact on the adventure. As an action RPG Dragon Age: Origins is a strong contender. But I’d like to say (from my own experience again) that table RPG develop our brains while computer ones don’t.

The graphics in Xenogears are beautiful look like an anime, and its characters and plot will keep you enthralled for the more than fifty hours it will take you to complete it. Xenogears may not be as well-known as Final Fantasy, but it deserves a place in the library of anyone who considers themselves a fan of RPGs.

Short of an occasional conversational difference based on your race, there really is not much difference from there based on what the player selected.

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. These MMORPG games such as the already mentioned World Of Warcraft, almost always require that you pay a monthly fee of roughly $5-30 dollars to play the game, although there have been some exceptions, most famously the Guild Wars series of games which has allowed gamers to play online with no monthly fee.

The newest entry in the hugely popular (in Japan) Tales saga, Symphonia was a huge, fun, well told game. There are always ways to expand the difficulty of the game and make each play through a unique experience. Hailed as one of the best video games of all time, it’s no surprise that Final Fantasy VII sits atop this prestigious list.

Having spent hours of my life in this game and knowing that I can go back whenever I want without fear of being destroyed because of the MMORPG laws of survival (never leave), this is a great pick up and play game in a genre where that almost never exists.

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. Also an adventure quest RPG can be a MMORPG, which stand for massive multiplayer online role-playing game, which is played online, and you interact with many other people in a virtual world. The graphics are incredible, the characters hilarious and deeply involving, and the story arresting.

An essential part of each Final Fantasy is magic, and this game is no exception. Influenced by console RPGs, a large group of young programmers and aficionados began creating and sharing independent RPG PC games, based mostly on the gameplay and style of the older SNES and Sega Genesis games.

Sometimes playing RPG on the computer you may suddenly want to act the way not offered by the plot of the game. The majority of such games owe to simplistic software development kits such as the Japanese RPG Maker series. As far as games for the SNES go, there are only 1 or 2 other games as engrossing as Final Fantasy III.

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.

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. Released as Final Fantasy III for the SNES in 1994, it is actually the 6th installment of the immensely popular Final Fantasy series produced by Squaresoft. Theoretically one could replay the game several times and have a very different experience. This one was equally as huge as its sequel, and had just as amazing graphics for its time.

Gamers were told that a number of different background stories would be selectable for each race and class a player could use, each one having a significant impact on the adventure. As an action RPG Dragon Age: Origins is a strong contender. But I’d like to say (from my own experience again) that table RPG develop our brains while computer ones don’t.

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.

The PlayStation is widely-regarded as the console that brought RPG games to the mainstream, and this appraisal is well deserved. It combined RPG and action game elements, and featured an Internet multiplayer mode that allowed up to four players to enter the same world and fight monsters, trade items, or fight against each other. Starting as a bland adventurer you could become either entirely good or entirely evil through the actions committed during a quest.

This is just a few of the name that this writer would personally classify as an adventure quest RPG. A role playing game is defined as a game where players assume the role of players and as a group create stores to participate in. With computer role playing games the focus is on character development.

Final Fantasy VIII was another wondrous achievement from the magicians at Square, and was just as influential as the games that came before it. The first Final Fantasy to feature realistically-proportioned characters, VIII also had one of the most mature and entertaining stories to be found in an RPG.

A delightfully charming and unique cast of characters, led by the brooding and now iconic Cloud Strife and his nefarious counterpart Sephiroth, danced their way through a magnificent and engaging story that has never been topped in the 13 years since.

Bastion Review, The Kid’s Story

Action RPG
Few genres of games have had such a dedicated and enthusiastic audience, as that of Role Playing Games, and all this while never having been the most popular or top-selling genre. 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 game is surprisingly difficult and unforgiving to new players, but for those who are up to the challenge, Vagrant Story offers an exhilarating gaming experience that has no duplicate on the PlayStation One. Konami and Disney teamed up to release a DDR game featuring Disney characters and songs.

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 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.

The combat system follows a point-click system similar to other games in this … Read More...
