What FF 6 did was open my mind up to the possibility of this kind of game with a sweeping story being fun. This game cemented the genre in my heart. An amazing game from start to finish that was always challenging but never ball busting. Its light hearted sense of humor, no regard for Doc Brown's Time Traveling laws and epic feel made it the total package that sits in my DS to this day.
The original xbox tried really hard to keep me in RPG-dom, but I find it hard to count Fable and Morrowind didn't hit me square in the face until I played it on the PC. But this game I loved, like played through 3 times loved. Nothing felt more like Star Wars to me then this game, aside from the original movies. I still loved how the Y button would make the lightsaber noise. Also the ending was phenomenal.
For me, this was the game that started it all, my decent into madness that resulted in this list. This game stood the time as the definitive Final Fantasy against the rest would be judged. This game, like alot of the older ones, is made better by the portable nature they've been able to impliment with the PSP and DS where I can hit a button to stop what I'm doing and pick it up later.
Yes a Johnny come lately. This game reminded me of Baulder's Gate in about every way, a game I never completed having never owned it and borrowed it several times from a friend. This was the game I was most excited for all year and plowed through it in record time because I couldn't walk away from it. This game is to blame for my lower level then my Modern Warfare friends.
This was the system seller for me on the PS1. I loved this game so much I bought it when it came out originally, again when that disk was too scratched up in the Greatest hits release and again for the PSP. Dispite the head scratching story and who cares nature, this was a game that set the trend of scaling in RPG's. This wasn't a typical RPG but coming off of Final Fantasy 7's character "templates" this was a cool deviation of Square's formula.
I'm revisiting this game in preparation for ME2 right now. This game in some places is a buggy mess, the cover system is busted, the AI is subpar, but I still dig the shit out of this game. Bioware loves them some atmosphere, in about every game they put together they interweve the plot with the world or galaxy they create I even read the codex all the way through when I had it opened up. I have some pretty high hopes for this one and looking forward to ME2 way more then FF13.
Millions of blood pinatas keep me clicking to this day. Never really got into the online game of this one but this game sets the tone for modern day loot hunt games like Torchlight and Borderlands.
Bought this game for the FF12 demo but when I busted through it in about 20 minutes, and fell in love with this game in another 20 minutes. Fun from beginning to end with a system that reminded you of the good old days while looking good the whole timel. This was also my introduction to the DQ franchise and while I'm not sold on it, I am sold on DQ9 whenever its in a language I can understand.
This game had me excited from the get-go the FPS elements the open-ish approach to missions and a basic morality system made this game awesome for me. The 2nd game was a too actiony attempt that failed to capture the feeling the first did.
This was the first RPG I really owned, trading in several games to get it and give it a whirl, it eventually would be my favorite game for the SNES and something I would go back to many times. I would like to see more in this vein of quirky RPGs but I'm not holding my breath anymore. This may not be a terrible Wii-make with a little 3d graphics?
