well you bassicly know what i\'m looking for. so can you help me out?

Try google.........Thats all I have to say

May I suggest Final Fantasy? It\'s pleased thousands, although you might be off to a rocky start if you pick up at the newest. Then again, FF is infamous for trashing its best characters. *coughFF3tossedintovoidofnothingnesscough*
I\'d suggest picking up at 7 if it\'s not behind the names, it was one of the best rated. If your looking for the newest, I think that\'s FF13 for the PS2 or FF Crystal Chronicles for the Cube. I wouldn\'t suggest picking up the new online one if you haven\'t tried any yet.
Wait a minute, you\'ve probably already tried FF, right? Never mind.

hes right there isent even a 13

Do you have a SNES/ZSNES/SNES9x?

Then try Chrono Trigger

Do you have PSX/PS2/ePSXe?

Try Chrono Cross

Man, well... I don\'t know FF! All I have is the Legends games and SNES ones... and X-I. I don\'t keep up with the series, I don\'t know who Sepiroth is besides he\'s evil and his looks, so sue me!
...
Oh, and I\'d suggest the Lunar Saga. It\'s character designs are really great.

Heh, you know exactly what I like. I HIGHLY recomend this series to you. Or the Secret of Mana, Legend of Zelda, Ah crap....I gotta go to school. Damnit. I\'ll tell you more later!

Just a warning though, The Chrono series, you might die from all the l33tness

[font=Tahoma] Shining Force Series is also good, IMO. But too bad the majority of the games are only available on dead consoles, most of which are Sega ones. [/font]

I just have to correct this, since it\'s VERY wrong. Zelda is NOT an RPG! It\'s an adventure game. An rpg has ither more than one player, in orther words roles, as in RPG=RolePlayingGame, and second you are able to gain levels and/or edit stats or custemize equipment. There are more things to mention, but I\'m not going to go into further details other that Shigeru miamoto (Links creator) has stated tha he dislikes the controlled element in RPG\'s, He would never do an RPG with Link. He actually intreduced levels in Links Adventure (Legend of Zelda 2) on the NES, but regreted it.

In conclution, an stated by the man himself: Zelda is no RPG.

Anyhow, if I am to conribute to this topic: One of the best RPG\'s I\'ve ever played was Crono Trigger, Final Fantasy III (or V as it is know as in Japan) Final Fantasy IX is also good, though I never REALLY played it... I like the entire FF series, but I\'ve played so few games. I can also recomend Paper Maro and Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga (Supervised but not made by Miamoto), And of course, lets not forget MegaMan Battle Network 1-4

I\'ll add more if I remember anything.

I think I\'ve written to much, my fingers hurt.....

Well Technically, Legend of zelda is an RPG. It\'s an Action/RPG As in an action game with RPG elements in it.

Golden Sun was the series that brought me back in the RPG genre...There\'s also FFL3 that\'s the best FF game for Game Boy. You may also want to try Tactics and Disgea(sp?): Somethin of Darkness (I think it\'s \"Hour\" but I\'m not sure lol)

If were talking about rpgs i\'d say for u to play secret of evermore for snez, or a game which i thought was funny done by squaresoft same creators of final fantasy, its called mario RPG. there is also a game on the web which is a rpg but its not part of any seiries.

well i have decided to look further into the dragon warrior thing. but i need to know of a good web page about it and also your view on dw 3 for gbc thanks:D!!

Have you ever heard of the Breath of Fire series, by CAPCOM? Those are really good RPG games, in my opinion. If not, then have you heard of the Wild Arms series, yet? Wild Arms is also a really nice RPG series. How about Lufia, for the SNES? This one\'s good - not the best - but good.

For me, I just can\'t wait for Megaman Command Mission. It\'s gonna\' be so cool that... *trails off*

List of RPGS I\'ve played:

Breath of Fire series
Chrono Trigger
Chrono Cross
Illusion of Gaia
Super Mario RPG
Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga
Secret of Evermore
Secret of Mana
Seiken Dentetsu (I think I spelled that wrong..) 3, which is part of the Secret of Mana series
Legend of Legaia
Final Fantasy series
Quest for Glory series
..and thats all I can think of off the top of my head.

The problem with some of these RPGs is that they\'re not technically part of the series they\'re in (or it seems like they\'re not..) yet they\'re marketed as sequels.

I suggest Breath of Fire, Quest for Glory, Final Fantasy, or possibly Secret of Mana if you have access to Seiken Dentetsu 3. Chrono Trigger is an excellent standalone game. Chrono Cross is an..okay standalone game, just don\'t pair it with Trigger and you\'ll do fine.

I know a good seires of rpgs, dont know why it didn\'t come to me on my last post.
Baldurs gate is a good one and its in a seires. there is Baldurs gate Dark Alliance 1 and 2 and baldurs gate for the pc , i dont know what the called sumthing about the forgotten relmes.

A very good one for snes is Lufia:return of the sinistrals and the legend of mana for PS one, the music in this one is awesome!

The topic is a couple of months old, but...
Yeah, Lufia rocks hard. I personally liked the SNES games of the series better, but if you have to have something modern you could pick up the GBA games that have come out.
The main reason to get it is the ancient cave. It\'s this system where you enter a series of dungeons that changes every time. Your party is set to lvl 1 and you run through, collecting experience and items to get to higher levels. At the end of the dungeons (or each dungeon in some games), there is a boss. Also, you can find extremely powerful weapons and armor in blue treasure chests that you can keep even after leaving the Ancient Cave. Anyhow, the stories pretty neat even discluding all this.

Bahamut Lagoon SNES
Skies of Arcadia GC
Front Mission SNES(Oh jesus this one rocks)

And you can try DBZ legend of Goku series, but it\'s so easy you\'ll get border very quickly.

- Final Fantasy (Good)
- Wild Arms (Great)
- Golden Sun (Fair)
- Elder Scrolls (Good)

And thats what I can think of so far. These are all great games.;D

I would have to recommend Legend Of Dragoon. Granted, it isn\'t in a series (as far as I know), but it is still a good game.

But I\'d agree with those that mentioned Wild Arms and FF series. Those are really good games, though some are a bit nerve racking.

Tales of Symphonia - GC
Tales of Phantasia - SNES (req. english patch)
Bahamut Lagoon - SNES (req. english patch)
Baten Kaitos - GC
Chrono Trigger - SNES
Chrono Cross - PSX
Secret of Mana - SNES (3 player simultaneous rpg)
Sword of Mana - GBA

Have fun
