I\'m starting to get really bored with RPGs. They are always like this:

1. An unlikely hero who saves a princess.

2. A whiney kid who wants something and goes through the whole game wanting it.

Now, is there an RPG that is DIFFERENT that is worth playing? I mean c\'mon! I know there are some people out there getting bored of the same RPGs with the same plots,too.

Well i kinda agree but i play diffrent things such as parasite eve taht isnt a hardcore RPG but alittle and resident evil 4 they arent hardcore games but they have alittle custamization in there.

You are not kidding Keitaro. Besides those two, there is always one more, that I am SO sick of, and most, if not all, FF are like this.

3. A hero of an unlikely background goes to save the world.

I am sorry, but say that and half the RPG\'s that I know get shot 50 times then roll over. Let me list them. (*Rants uncontrollably*)

Heres my version of that list:

An RPG has:

1 A low level guy whom people expect to save the world.

2. Same people in every town (CLONES)

3. People asking you to do task for no f**king reason

4. Really corny villian


Welp, Thats my list!XD

[font=Trebuchet MS]I\'ve only found one RPG series to offer that doesn\'t follow the \"save the princess\" or \"whiny megalomaniac hero\" plotlines, though it does involve an unlikely hero making a huge step. That part of the plot doesn\'t really seem important though. The series is \"Suikoden.\"

If you haven\'t played it, I\'d highly recommend it. Each game of the series is highly satisfying, given all the characters and the development of each.

Of course I say this because I just finished Suikoden IV tonight, and I\'m getting nostalgic about the series :lol:. Seriously though, if you haven\'t already, give this series a shot (if you can find it, that is).[/font]

Rockman EXE is classified as an RPG, and pokemon is too. I prefer RPGS like that, Yknow, ones NOT involving swords and sh*t like a warrior, cept for Dragon Warrior and Final Fantasy.

The xenosaga series isn\'t that bad try it it has a smi-unique storyline.

Xenosaga isn\'t a game, it\'s a interactive movie...well, the first one anyway, never got around to play the second one

Heh, can\'t help you find an original RPG plot. I can, however, tell you the ending to Final Fantasy Tactics for PS1. You see, you get all the way to the end, and you expect to see a big \"THE END\" and they all live happily ever after.

Chrono Trigger.

You people should listen to this gentleman. Suikoden is a very good RPG series that is overshadowed by other series. Unfortunately, I doubt any of you will be able to locate either of the first two unless you use ebay.

Well, if you really want an entertaining RPG, try, \"The Bards Tale,\" it\'s kinda satirical toward modern RPG\'s. It\'s highly addictive and there are many funny moments, buy it.
