The Best RPGs Through The Ages

Shining Force 1 and 2. There are so many good RPGs for the SNES that kind of went under the radar like Shadowrun, 7th Saga and others.

Although I've played a lot of great RPGs, there are a few that stand out to me as memorable, and in some ways timeless, despite aging graphics and.. other technical difficulties.

Planescape: Torment would easily top my list. It's easily one of the most involved RPGs I've ever played. The interaction between characters was extremely intricate and well written. It was always interesting to explore the new dialog options and get to know each character, rather than picking them based purely on their skill. A lot of people are turned off by the vast amounts of reading that you do, but I found it more appealing than off-putting. The dialog, even with minor NPCs was almost always interesting, and often times bizarre and macabre.
The grim, dark nature of the game was really unique. Aside from Diablo, there weren't really a whole lot of games that carried such a dark story, and while Diablo was fun, it wasn't exactly notable for its in-depth writing and plot. The world itself had a bizarre feeling to it. It wasn't a generic fantasy setting, but more relative to more abstract concepts, like something you might read about in a Lovecraft story.
The graphics at the time were pretty amazing, and even today they still look nice. It played in a very similar manner to Baldur's Gate, Icewind Dale and other related titles, though the camera was a lot closer to the action. I remember the game being pretty buggy upon launch, which to me was its only downfall, but I'm sure it has been patched since then.

..also, who doesn't love a game that allows you to purchase an item such as "baby oil", which according to its description, is made from the tears of a mewling mortal baby?


Diablo was one of the first computer games I ever played. I was immediately addicted, and as a child it got me so pumped up that I ended up mowing lawns and cleaning out chicken coops for everyone within a 10 mile radius so that I could earn enough money to buy the sequel.
There was something extremely satisfying about playing this game. Every time you hit something, the gory death animations would soothe my lust for conquest, but only long enough for me to click on the next Fallen or Zombie that happened to be in the path of my cleaving axe. The violent, morbid imagery constantly reminded you that each floor that you descended was taking you one step closer to hell itself.
I never got to play multiplayer on the original, which from what I'm told was incredibly amusing to incredibly frustrating, but single player was more than enough to keep my interest. I always enjoyed finding and reading the different tomes lying around for the (sadly) minimal amount of lore they were establishing. Although there really wasn't a whole lot to read, each tome was incredibly well written, and really emphasized on the despair aspect of the game.
While I admittedly enjoyed the second game much more than the first, due to a wider variety of class archetypes, diverse landscape and slightly more involved story, the first still holds a pretty special place in my heart. It's the game that set in motion a series of awesomeness.
I'd comment on Diablo 3, but because of my low-quality internet, I can't actually play it. From what I did play while out and about on public wifi, it was amazing.


Final Fantasy 3 or 6 is a pretty confusing game. I think SquareEnix has finally resolved the confusion by setting it at a firm number 6, but title aside, it's easily my favorite Final Fantasy.
Generally, I don't like Final Fantasy. The earlier games were a bit bland for me, as they consisted of fairly standard heroes teaming up to stop a fairly generic villain, and then later on they became more emotionally exaggerated than a 15 year old's Facebook status update. I always felt that, while FF6 did have its share of "wow, get over it" moments, it had a more steady grasp on the concept of characters emoting, rather than just having characters over-react or needlessly and excessively be depressed. The story was good, maybe not great, but it really was the characters that drove this game. The villain is arguably one of the most memorable RPG villains of all time. He was strange, and entirely psychotic. Looking back, it's kind of hard for me to believe that SquareEnix (or Squaresoft, then) actually made him. Character interaction was also pretty interesting, and I always enjoyed the little side-track stuff that happened along the way throughout the game. Like the ghost train. Loves me some ghost train.
Aside from the main villain, there's a frequent, eight tentacle'd, inky antagonist that keeps showing up. While he isn't particularly difficult to defeat, it's great comical relief in an otherwise serious toned game.

SPOILER ALERT: I'm sure by now, anyone that would be interested in this game has probably already played it, given it's had two (that I know of) re-releases since its initial launch. But just in case, spoiler alert.

One thing that really sold me on this game was towards the end. You're on your way to stop Kefka, and I figured my first time through, this was the end of the game. I was wrong. If you don't play your cards right, one of your characters will actually die (Shadow, NOOOO!!!), and additionally, no matter how well you do, you will always be too late, and the world itself is essentially ended. I love dark twists like that, where the good guys can't always save the world, and this was one that left my mouth agape my first time through. I genuinely believed that I had done something wrong, or poorly. I didn't have internet back then, so there was no way to look it up. I just had to struggle onward through the rest of the game with a sense of guilt for not saving the world in time.



Neverwinter Nights is the second AD&D game on my list. It's not on here because of the outstanding story or character interaction, though. Don't get me wrong, the main campaign is fine. It's fairly standard, and some of the quests feel a little tedious, but overall it's worth a play through. The expansions added a lot to it, I thought, and easily exceeded just the vanilla campaign (I was particularly fond of the Hordes of the Underdark).
This game's main appeal was its community, and the encouragement for people to make their own mods, scenarios and dedicated servers. A lot of the high-end player made worlds were often much more enjoyable than the solo game (even if you ran it on multiplayer). Some of them had really in-depth crafting systems, and truly massive worlds. It was like an MMO you only had to pay once for, and if you didn't like the game you were in or got bored, there was always something else as an alternative.
The campaign editor was simplified so that even those of us with no programming or modding experience could easily design our own campaigns and scenarios. This simplification of something that, with enough time, could become something very complex is what really appealed to me. Ultimately, looking back, I think I spent far more time designing my own world than I did playing in it.



Those are my main picks as far as RPGs. There have been some within more recent years that are also worth mentioning; Fallout 3, Skyrim and Mass Effect, as well as other games that I haven't played in so long that it's hard for me to remember why I loved them so much (mainly Arcanum.)

thanks buds, I really love this thread, has me wanting to try a few others. shining force games, vagrant story, valkyrie profile 2 and the diablo games.

really great list.

Agreed! this is someone who knows their RPGs!

The both of you have really great taste in games. This thread overall has really great taste in games. Honestly, some games I've never heard of, and some I've heard of and never played. Time to bring out the old systems and go hunting local flea markets and garage sales!

Agreed. I still play it every now and then. Great story, great setting, great ability to customize your character, from perks to weapons, it really blended well with what kind of player you are. and the decision making process and consequences were terrific. I love how your actions affect the world. GREAT GAME!

Awesome list, Nate. Haven't played all of these games, but I tell you what, I will give them a chance now. Great descriptions of love this thread!

did not get the chance to dragon warrior or x-men legends, will try them!
every other game on this list, PHENOMENAL!

Really diggin Skyrim at the mo, I didn't think they could better Oblivion but guess what, they did this game is immense and two hours play seems like 2 minutes.

really great list.

Agreed! this is someone who knows their RPGs!

really great list.

Phantasy Star 4. My personal favorite traditional RPG ever. Traveling among planets, great story, intersting characters, great fight sequences, and perfect pace so you didn't feel left behind of unprepared.

More modern times, Elder Scrolls kind of share top billing with Fallout, both Bethesda products. Oblivion was monumental, by Skyrim seemingly surpassed it. Fallout 3 should be considered legendary in the realm of the original Legend of Zelda being innovative, taking traditional RPG elements and applying it to the fallout after an apocalypse-like war.

Does Pokemon count? Big fan of pokemon from red and blue to now black and white.

Xenosaga, Shenmue, Chrono Trigger, Shining Force 1 & 2, Vagrant Story, Valkyrie Profile, Super Robot Taisen, Final Fantasy (but only up to 7 like CFC said), and Super Mario RPG, really fun games.

I'm actually surprised someone didn't mention Xenogears for PS1... Awesome combat style, mech and human combat, and a very complex story. Definetely one of my all time faves, as well as Symphony of the Night.

And while some may not consider it an RPG, the Way of the Samurai series, espescially the third entry with the sword building extras. While the story to them wasn't anything spectacular, it gave you choices and you learned your moves as you went on, which went towards the moves you could apply to your custmozed sword later.

I know that the legend of zelda is consider a action aventure game but its really the best RPG ever!!!!!

I respect your thoughts and understand them, personally I would like to have seen the characters protrayed more in a real woman aspect and respect rather than sexist objects. but what I really understand about the movie is I have been through mental and physical abuse and can empathize with her struggle about wanting to fight or give up and blaming yourself for the loss of someone. it is something you struggle with everyday and anyone who will sacrifice all for someone else is truly honorable. but you have great and valid points, women are women and should be treated as such and not possessions, objects or other degrading figures. I find it awesome you know her double, she is probably very awesome at stunts and acting. I am unfamiliar with the movie you speak of, but will look it up. I love a varying degree of movies and sucker punch is only in a large list of others.

I have not played kingdom hearts, but will one day play the games, heard a lot of great things.

I will find a way to make it up or we will have another movie we dislike or like and it may balance the situation, what does he think of inception? I can understand why some would dislike it, but I understand baby doll and her situation and I just so happen to like emily browning. As for alice in wonderland love the book. wow, it blows my mind about the figurines. yugioh had some cool creatures, from what I remember.

I agree about the gameboy, that is how I picked up a lot of games I could not get for a system otherwise. Never played Lunar.

Sucker Punch wasn't for me I rank it as being just as bad as the Tekken Live action movie maybe worse...
Tekken had Bryan Fury .All Sucker Punch had was a strange attempted pretentiousness . It was smut it was just
terrible "oh yeah I have a sexually abusive step father who sends me to the funny farm what will be my strong
persona to kick a$$ and get free...A matrix Trinity esk outfit? Maybe like Bad@$$ commando type thing like
Sarah Connor,Or Ripley from alien... Naaaah Imma dress like a Halloween sexy school girl" I'm gunna Call BS on
that . Id have no issue with some of it if not for the attempted pretentiousness "No this is so much deeper
than an Alice in Wonderland rip off but Hmmm maybe toss in the expendables in and a dollar bin porno" mix
them together and you get a spiraled mess that crashes and doesn't even go out in a bang more of a fizzle
and pop. Hmm Wait! maybe its not an Alice in Wonderland wannabe ,yet a tribute to Lewis Carroll himself and
that's why it seemed to share the purpose of his Jabberwocky poem ,to show you how NOT to do something.
Also nothing against you AT ALL what's not to understand about absurdly shallow characters.
Bella Swan is a deeper character than the entire cast of SuckerPunch .I honestly wanted to like it because I'm
good friends with a girl that body doubles for Emily Browning ,If you read my past post I mention her her
names Kate!but Sheesh !!! wanna watch something truly awesome watch Blood and Roses ,
Seen that and was like dang they just don't make them like they used to!

~Okay Rant over~


Back on Topic My Favorite RPG's are the Kingdom Hearts series Those games make me so happy! I likey the happy

I HATE Final Fantasy 8 . Having said that it's all my own fault why I hate it and not the games.

Back then I was somewhat of a teenage tearaway and of course I had my PS1 chipped .

The moral of the story.........Piracy is a crime and Karma will get you one way or the other.

I didn't play any then till 10 - 2 with all the girls, that was pretty good but I cheated to get all the characters levelled up. Final Fantasy 13 is just a disgrace IMO, I wanna think a strategy through I don't wanna Paradigm shift, what was wrong with the way it was. I feel like I've maybe written this before but it's here again now.

As for SuckerPunch, it certainly looks real nice and the mix of styles was great to see but the story was a wee bit lame for me.

I will find a way to make it up or we will have another movie we dislike or like and it may balance the situation, what does he think of inception? I can understand why some would dislike it, but I understand baby doll and her situation and I just so happen to like emily browning. As for alice in wonderland love the book. wow, it blows my mind about the figurines. yugioh had some cool creatures, from what I remember.

I agree about the gameboy, that is how I picked up a lot of games I could not get for a system otherwise. Never played Lunar.

I find gameboy to have tons of amazing RPGs the Lunar series are freaking great! I have had a blast playing

Gabi makes customs. Mostly GI joes. The wife has a custom on here I think. I think she posted Bobba Fate hes a cross between Bobba Fett and Dr fate. I used to make customs pretty normally but stopped when I realised I sucked bad and was just waisting supplies


One RPG I love to suggest to people for the old PS1 is legend of Legia. That game was great! But yeah the PS3 is well worth it for DVDs I am a complete movie junkie so the PS3 was a major bonus for me

I will have to check her customs out, love gi joe, always a ninja man myself. I remember the Bobba Fate, that one stuck out to me. Don't say that you only get better with time and practice and some supplies should be wasted for practice. I know about that for resident evil, in the first where you come back from the garden into the house, had me so shocked and what the heck is coming after me. Yeah the cartoons are much better, I totally love the dinobots rented those episodes every weekend to watch, when I was younger. Not watched the prime show though, really only kept up with the new marvel and dc cartoons and movies. thats awesome about heroclix most people don't play much any more, I always loved it, even made customs. magic was always fun to me, used to get into trouble for playing magic in school and was good at it along with heroclix. I did not know that pokemon uses toys for the games, you can see how out of the loop I am.

I have heard of that title, but never played it, will check it out though. patraw introduced me to some with his vast knowledge. I am a movie fan, maybe a junkie, but still kinda old school in that department also. right now I have 2 blurays and want to watch them since they have extra footage, sucker punch and clash of the titans. sucker punch is one of my new all time favs, I understand that movie and character whole heartedly and the soundtrack is great.

For the most part my entire family have nerdy hobbies. My mom collects dolls. My brother is Yamivash 0. One of my sisters is on here as geekygab and loves transformers. Another collects living dead dolls and another is a HUGE pokemon fan. My wife (cherry bomb) LOOOOVES star wars, back to the future, Punisher, Conan, and X-force. Actually we started dating cuz I lent her my X-force comics

Oddly enough I never considered legend of Zelda a RPG. More an adventure game but thats just me. I love zelda and all the legend of Zelda games. I have every system (minus atari 2600 ) and I still prefer older games over all these cut copy paste shooters they have these days.

That is awesome, don't have much to talk to my family about, if it isn't college sports or the kardashians (and I can assure you none of those are on my list). You have an really cool family then and they are a true honor to the realm. geekygab, she must also like resident evil, I am taking a guess. Is it just the toys of transformers or the cartoon or movies? I used to play magic and heroclix, but since my disabiltiy no one to play those games with, does your other sister collect or play pokemon. I used to tell my nephew when he liked pokemon that each of them had 1st names or else how could you tell them apart. It was Ray Pickachu, Sammy Squirtle, Bobby Bulbasor and there were more names but can't remember them now. Your wife sounds awesome, good things to love and dating due to comics is fate. and have to say being a nerd is an honor to me and your girls will do well by your family it seems. Also congrats on adopting that is a great thing to do and worthy of much praise. does anybody other than yamivash 0 make customs? As you can tell that is one of my stress reducers and talking to other awesome members, since I can't get out much.

I can understand your concept on legend of zelda, but to me it is a bit like resident evil (has a bit of questing for items and unlocking/moving through the game), I guess you could put metroid down also in that category, another one of my favs. But zelda and metroid have a bit of leveling up by collecting heart containers and energy tanks. I have a well preserved nintendo, gameboy advance, PS2, Gamecube with the gameplayer for gameboy games and a Wii. want to get my hands on a PS3 for games and blurays. I also understand about shooters now adays, bought a xbox for halo and got rid of it when I needed money for while waiting for my disability and not being able to work for 2 years.

I totally agree I am a huge fan myself, but really only play the older ones since I don't have any of the new systems. I love the way the FF games look, but don't anything about them, really want to play dissidia. thats awesome your daughter is into the games, my family could care less about what I am into. I feel you also on making room, I just can't find the time or place myself. but that is awesome you have your loyalty to FF, mine might go to the main system versions of legend of zelda, but all the games I mentioned are games I would pick up before all others.

How dare you exclude Final Fantasy 8 ...where do you get off!... I hate you I THOUGHT YOU LOVED ME! HOW COULD YOU BETRAY ME!!!!!


I tried to play it, but for some reason never got into it, but loved the into and graphics. maybe it was me sucking so bad at the card game and upgrading weapons. and I am a bit old school, but I still love you, may give the game a chance again and maybe 9. I only get off where my bus takes me, but trust me I would not betray you, only giving my 2 cents for the time being.
I am a HUGE Final Fantasy fanboy and have thus far played them all (except 9 I bought that one and it didn't work when I bought it. I also havent played 13-2 yet. My daughter has it so I am waiting for her to beat it) but I agree I am very old school. I am trying to find someplace to move my DVDs so I can plug up my N64 and SNES. I am not a fan of these newer RPGs but will play anything named final fantasy to continue my loyalty

We need a duke nukem RPG. They could make it as a way to reissue all the old games in a new way since they don't seem to want to port them to xbox live.

love the thread, great topic.
as for my favorites all of the legend of zelda games, not played skyward sword yet and my least favorite is zelda II adventure of link. I do have to say it was one of the more challenging games, where you had more sword play options. and who didn't hate thunderbird?

valkyrie profile, this game is right up there with LoZ and that is something. I can not believe no one mentioned this game. I had always played more FF type games and this one was so amazingly good. I have not played the sequel or other versions, but hope to play the sequel one day.

of course chrono trigger, game absolutely blew me away. on all levels one of the finest like LoZ.

final fantasty I only go up to 7 and really only played the american versions 1, 2 and 3. really great games and fun to play.

phantasy star 1-4, even though 3 is not as great as the others. it is a cool option to have muliple stories and options throughout the game.

breath of fire games were great, the second was a lot better IMO.

dragon warrior were also very fun, but never got around to playing any of them after the second, should have though. always an entertaining.

always liked playing x-men legends 2 and marvel ultimate alliance, they were fun. maybe a bit simplistic, but liked being able to power up the characters choose your team and it not completely be a button masher.

not played but want to play shining force games and elder scrolls skyrim, heard great things about them. also maybe the knights of the old republic rpg and the dc online game.

I can understand that, it's easy to lose at least four hours in that game.

I need the ipad so I can play the g1 transformer RPG that's out.

I still havent had a chance to play any of the Oblivian games sadly

Take Blizzard a long time to pump out games doesn't' it? I liked the Neverwinter games except 2 hated my old PC with a passion. I still love the first two Lunar games and all the other RPGs for the Sega CD that Working Designs put out. The SNES and Genesis were the ultimate RPG systems.
The SNES pumped out some of the best turn based RPGs ever. The PS1 had some amazing RPGs as well but ever since the PS2 Xbox generation RPGs havent been the same

Agreed but Oblivion is steadily changing my mind

DIABLO 2!!!! Thats all that needs to be said about rpg greatness ha ha. Pumped for 3 this year!

I have the Sonic genesis collection and it has all the golden ax games on it, plus shining force 1,2 and shining in the darkness, and phantasy star 1-4.

I must admit first I am a fan of the older ff games, and very good selection in your list too.
for me
Chronos Cross is one of the best I've played, multi options (team members also) for the time the graphics were exclent, and indepth story to boot (been the sequal to chrono trigger aint supriseing )
I Quite enjoyed Legends of Mana also a top game for the time.
lol anyone remember goldend axe ....

Im goth, I eat emo's for breakfeast. Its kind of a war if you didn't know, Goth vs. Emo. with the Goths saying the emos are rip-offs (which they are...)




But back on topic.

Would you consider GTA and Assassins Creed RPGs? I know they have lots of RPG elements but idk....

All I know is that emo ruined metal music. Now like the only good metal is old bands and Euro-Metal. Everything nowadays sounds sappy and whiney, METAL ISN'T SUPPOSED TO BE WHINEY!!!

-Nate-



Agreed. I only listen to 90's rock, classic rock, death metal, and black metal. Ugh annoying emo b!itches.

It's weird... the term emo didn't even exist when I was in high school, nor did any folks (that I remember) who fit into the category of what I would consider a modern "emo" kid. We had goths, sure... but they weren't emo kids. Goths were into dark stuff, but none of the goths I knew were whiny about it. Different generations I guess...

No offense to anyone on this site who may consider themselves to be "emo"... but you've got to realize the "emo movement" has a really bad rep.

Final Fantasy hands down the best RPG series ever! And I"m not EMO

Fallout 3 was dope,hands down my favorite RPG ever.

Final Fantasy 3 was pretty good as well.

Pretty well done list, but no Secret of Mana? That game was awesome! One of my all time favorites.
