I'm looking for something new to play. Loved Star Wars: Knights, Enjoyed Kingdom Hearts, FFX, Beyond Good and Evil, Everquest, Baldurs Gate, etc.

Got any suggestions for something new, or something I may have missed?
Thanks!

My favorite is FFX. I'm assuming you have PS2, so if you don't mind the old graphics, go pick up so PSX rpg's. There are lot's of good one's there.

Try FFVII first if you haven't before.

Well If You Still Own A Snes OR Even If You Dont Get An Emulator For It Online And Get Games Like Tales Of Phantasia , Secret Of Mana 2 , Terranigma , But On The Ps2 FFX Is The Best You Will Get Altho There Is Some Other Generaly Satisfiying Ones Like Wild Arms 3

Rpg's can not even be broken down into top 10's, they are all good, from classic Diablo 2 (till the dupes) along with Morrowind, and the great, but dissapointing Fable. I did play diablo for a couple years though and i have beaten morrowind over 25 times with characters over Lvl 100. FF games are also great, and PSO (and classics). I guess im going with Morrowind as best Rpg Kotor second.

Try Fallout 2 for the PC. The graphics are somewhat dated, but the plot is engrossing, the game world is a very unique Northern California post-apocalypse, your party is full of very different types (like a whiz-kid drug dealer, who can create narcotics for you if you give him the right ingredients) and the plot is extremely open-ended.

The game came out maybe five years ago, and there hasn't been an RPG like it since.

You can play it saintly, or incredibly evilly. You can get married, have sex with prostitutes, become a porn star, become a cyborg, etc.

And it is the only RPG I know of that you can finish with out killing anything, if you choose to. You can talk and sneak and steal your way through every situation, if you're patient.

I started playing Chrono Trigger a few days ago, and it's really good. I'm not sure if it will pass FFVII and FFX, though.

Best game straight up is the old final fantasies for super nintendo eg.) FF3 I played that game for like 100 hours and never got bored of it. I also really liked Kotor, Morrowind, and Kingdom Hearts,

My favourite RPGs come from the little known Suikoden series. Suikoden and Suikoden 2 from the PSX rank up with my all time favourite games. Other favourite RPGs would be Tales of Symphonia, FF VIII, Kingdom Hearts, Arc: Twilight of the Spirits and Wild Arms (original).

Right now I'm playing Skies of Arcadia on Gamecube, and when it's all said and done, it might be my favorite.

My fav is Chrono Trigger for the SNES, I think you can get it for the PS now as Chrono Chronicles (?) I've never really gotton into another RPG as much as that one - yet I keep searching.....hoping......and doubting I'll find another that good.

1.!! FALLOUT 2 FALLOUT 2 FALLOUT 2 FALLOUT 2 !!
RIP their published just went out of business because of poor sales of Vampire: The Masquerade - I saw my friends playing it (Vampire) and it looks awesome

2. Final Fantasy 2, 3 (really 4,6 in the series) for SNES, great games... great stories

3. secret of mana (SNES)

4. Final Fantasy 3 or 4 for Gameboy (original) - wacky locations and actually the best writing...

5. Chrono Cross for PSX - still some of the prettiest backgrounds of all time, interesting story

6. Final Fantasy Tactics (Actually my number 2)

7. Final Fantasy XII (3)

8. Planescape: torment - really fun RPG, in the vein of Fallout 2, you're a dead guy

Final Fantasy Tactics. Or Suikoden II.

Of course, Final Fantasy VII will always hold a special place in my heart, being the first RPG I ever played. Objectively, it's pretty hard to top. Probably my #3 pick.
