Favorite type of RPG's?

[Polraudio 122]

As the generation of gaming gets more advanced we start to push more towards action and fast paced gaming and away from the slow paced games. What kind of RPG games do you like?

 

Classic's:

Turn-based RPG's

EX: Final Fantasy 1-9(maybe 10), Legend of Dragoon, Wild Arms, Grandia, Suikoden, Chrono Trigger, Chrono Cross.

 

Mid-Aged:

Where action Battle Systems started to take place.

EX: Starocean series, Radiata Stories, FF12

 

Modern Age:

Where full action is now taking place

EX: Dragon Age, Fallout, Skyrim, Oblivion, FF13

I dont really care for modern games much at all.

Dragon Age was not very good, i didnt care to much for fallout, skyrim was alright but oblivion was a little better, and FF13 just completely sucked imo. FF13 was way to fast pased for my likings and im a HUGE FF fan that played them all.

 

I like some of the mid aged games. My fav mid aged game of all time would have to be Radiata Stories and Starocean 2.

 

My fav of all time would have to be the classics. I love Turn-Based RPG's more than anything.

My fav games of the classics would have to be. FF6-9, Chrono Trigger, and Legend of Dragoon.

I love RPG games that i can take my time on during battle.

 

So whats your favorite RPG Age?

I like the mid age era if it's done right, otherwise I prefer classics.

 

There was a few good games that we're semi-action/semi-turnbased not long ago that was pretty fun, a good example of this I guess would be Eternal Sonata. I like the way games like this mix, giving a set ammount of time to attack before switching to the next character, when done right it makes every battle different like an Action RPG while still making it turnbased. I had to mention Eternal Sonata because it did do this right, if you've never played it before then you should or atleast watch videos of the battle system.

 

Don't get me wrong I do enjoy many ARPG's today, but theres something about turnbased that makes things more strategic. The only time I think the modern style with an active battle system only really works in MMO's.

 

I guess we have yet to see a modern ARPG be done right so there is still hope for it, until then it's Mid-age and Classic styles for me.

I like Action-RPG games like Deus Ex and Kingdom Hearts(though it can be button mashing sometimes) and FF12. Infinite was also an interesting Action RPG but got difficult at some points.

 

 

Classic's:

Turn-based RPG's

EX: Final Fantasy 1-9(maybe 10), Legend of Dragoon, Wild Arms, Grandia, Suikoden, Chrono Trigger, Chrono Cross.

 

Uh, what do you mean maybe. FFX is a CTB(Conditional Turn-base Battlesystem) system not a ATB system , doesn't mean it's not turn-base like the others. It's pratically similar to FF 1-3.

 

 

I dont really care for modern games much at all.

Dragon Age was not very good, i didnt care to much for fallout, skyrim was alright but oblivion was a little better, and FF13 just completely sucked imo. FF13 was way to fast pased for my likings and im a HUGE FF fan that played them all.

• Dragon Age was made for the PC which is why if you played it on console, the battle system was a piece of shit. Which is why i like Dragon Age 2 better, though the story for the first was actually better.
  
• Agreed on FF13 was a piece of shit.
  

 

You also forgot

Tactical-Base RPG's

Ex: The Last Remnant (this was an interesting game that SE made), FFT, FFTA, FFTA2

I LOVED FFT, FFTA! FFTA2 was good too, but...i dunno, it just kinda had a messed upness about it....didint like how you always started EVERY-FRIGGIN-BATTLE with ZERO MP!!! It basically made haveing a viera equiped with blood price mandatory....Grrrrr. >:( And also, some of the jobs seemd a bit redundant....they seem to cancel out other jobs. Like two diferent races would have two differently named jobs but they would basically the same function albeit with slight differnces in stats....(sigh)

oh god, i cant choose D: uhmm..er....cant we take the bad ass graphics and jsut remake the old games, i see that games are starting to go the way of music.... buuut i thought skyrim and fallout3 were awesome o.o

[Noob Saibot 38]

I like just about any kind; classic mid-gen, or next-gen. I'm not picky and learn to evolve with technology. I rather enjoyed FF13; though FFXII would have to be my favorite followed by FFIX.

That's kind of dumb not to play a game because a friends disc did not work; especially if he bought it used or did not take care of it.

Your excuse now?

[Kange 0]

im a student with 17k debt to the government for school loans with a monthy fee for insurance, plus gas, plus supplies, and it would be insanely hard to find a copy of taht game for the ps1, plus no job..all pretty good excuses if you ask me

more important then gaming

[forcebreaker 0]

LOD isint that hard to find. Ebay, Amazon...i dont even think it costs that much, maybe twenty five $ at the most....not counting shipping. But your right, nesesitys first.

[Knuckles 1]

I like the modern age, at least with the WRPG genre of games. Skyrim is a fantastic game, so is Fallout, Dragon Age Origins, The Witcher, and Mass Effect.

Current financial status is no excuse for when you first had a job. Plus it's not that hard to find; hell I have more then one copy myself. Ever want to own it just e-mail me ur info owner[at]madklowngames.com and I'll send it for free.
