I've never played any of the final fantasys. I use to work at EB Games and use to get headaches when people would explain the story line to me. Like Final Fantasy 3 is actually 2 or something. From what you guys are saying I get the feeling that Final Fantasy 7 is the better one?

I liked 7 better because of the atmostphere, 3 has some classic parts though like the train and the opera.

Earth Bound was the shiit

VI was all cutscenes. it was 20 minutes of gameplay and then 40 of cutscene. it was a big deal at the time because it was the first game that truely utilized the at the time massive size of CDs as opposed to cartridges. that game wouldnt have sold or be remembered for dick-off if it werent for that fact alone. i love RPGs, they are my favorite genre of games. that one bored me to tears. i couldnt play it. and i have tried. many, many, many times. if you want a final fantasy thatll suck you in and keep you there, play 11. other than that, they are the corvette of RPGs. flashy to look at, but pretty generic as they go.

11 was ok for me, WOW was better imo but mmorpgs get boring quick for me because theres no story just levelling .

Final Fantasy 2/3/5. FF5 was awsome because of the old school "Job Classes" and the massive selection of them.

The RPGs I have gotten the most out of was EarthBound, Final Fantasy 3, and Ogre Battle.


Im very dissappointed nobody has mentioned either of the Lufia games.

FFXI is still fun for me cause i got about ten real life friends that i play with. otherwise, id have prolly lost interest a long time ago. it dont hurt that my friends are all very sociable with strangers, which im not. MMOs suck if you arent a big fan of meeting people.

I got to level 8 but it was driving me crazy taking so long to level, its like I would spend an hour trying to find a group that needed a warrior then someone would die or something and it would be back to square one

I always liked the Shadowrun games for both the SNES and Genesis, those were great. But my favorite RPG would have to be FF3, I always liked the amount of content and the amount of characters you could get. I dont care what anyone says the Yeti kicked ass.

The Elder Scrolls games, I've only played Morrowind and Oblivion but they both kick ass.

Skies of Arcadia on the Dreamcast was great

Shenmue was awesome.

and the Zelda games if you consider them RPGs.

I used to play for a while. I hated how you need to join pts to level. Its not even worth trying to level on your own. In the end itt got boring since all we did was kill stuff to get more money. What I did like was the interaction with people from a totally different culture. That was interesting

Greatest RPG of all time:

Fallout
Fallout 2

(Fallout 2's back cover read:

Travel the wasteland, fall in love, get married, then pimp your wife out for chump change!)

Doesn't get any better then that.

My favorite RPG series is Suikoden. The first 2 for the Playstation are two of my top favorite games of all time. The main villian in Suikoden 2, Luca Blight, is one of the most bad-ass villians in gaming history.

Final Fantasy III because it was the first one I ever played and it opened me up to other games.

Final fantasy 6 with out a doubt for me. i like some of the other FFs but none of them compare imho. I also like Chrono Trigger and the first 2 lufias. Wild arms on PS is supposed to be good also but i never finished it.

You have good taste my friend.

Chrono Trigger, FF7, Zelda a link to the past were all my favoriets about 10 years ago or so. Then it was Diablo and Diablo II.

Now I would have to say they are all a distant second to WoW. In some ways the ones mentioned before will offer more, but all around I dont think any RPG will offer what WoW does. Not to mention the world actually changes Bi-Monthly.
