I’m looking for titles from any generation, platform, or ‘genre'(JRPG/WRPG/etc) – that would be ‘worth owning’. I’m not looking to compile a collection of ‘lemons’ – nor just a collection of ’10/10′ games. There are tens, if not hundrerds, of RPG’s out there that are 7/8/9 out of 10 rated games that are amazing – and as such looking for help in that regard. Not to mention many series’ have multiple entries some of which are much worse then it’s previous entries and I don’t want to be purchasing sub-par games for completionists sakes. If any title requires the playthrough of a prequel please note it though!
TL;DR – RPG’s from any platform NES->PS3/X360/PC that are ‘must owns’ in your eyes, regardless of their review ratings. (that isn’t Final Fantasy!)
Persona 3 (PS2/PSP) (avoid the PS2 versions if you can)
Mass Effect (Xbox360/PC[better version, imo])
Dragon Age Origins (PS3/Xbox360/PC[better version])
Fallout 3 (PS3/Xbox360/PC)
Valkyria Chronicles (PS3)
Demon’s Souls (PS3)
Rogue Galaxy (PS2)
Alpha Protocol (PS3/Xbox360/PC) (I wouldn’t advise you to buy this one, but definitely play it one way or another)
Dragon Quest VIII (PS2)
Star Wars: Knights of The Old Republic (Xbox/PC)
Xenogears (PS1) (I think it’s also on the PSone classics section on PSN as well, but not too sure)
Borderlands (PS3/Xbox360/PC)
Diablo (PS1/PC)
Diablo II (PC)
That’s about all I can remember right now. Definitely recommend Persona 4 more than any other game on that list. It’s spectacular. Also, none of these games require you to have played previous entries in the series to know what’s going on. The only sequel that directly follows the previous game is Diablo 2 but I think you’ll understand what’s going on even if you don’t play the original.
Dragon Quest VIII (PS2)
Both essential.
if you dont own it you dont deserve to have any other rpgs.
Suikoden I & II
Vagrant Story
Chrono Cross
Final Fantasy Tactics, in case you only take the main series as part of the collection.
All of them PS1 titles that I consider them essential to any RPG collection I Highly reccomend Vagrant Story & Parasite Eve…
Shin Megami Tensei Nocturne(PS2)
Shin Megami Tensei Raidou Kuzunoha vs The Souless Army(PS2)
Diablo(PC)
Diablo II(PC)
Torchlight(PC)
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic I & II (PC)
That’s all I can come up right now.
Etrian Odyssey I,II,III
Dragon Quest IX (also the remakes of IV, V, and VI)
Children of Mana
Shin Megami Tensei: Stange Journey
Also, for SNES,
Super Mario RPG
Breath of Fire I & II
Secret of Mana
Secret of Evermore
When you say that you got the Final Fantasies, does that mean just main series FFs? Because the tactics side series would make a great addition.
This is about as true as something that isn’t true.
Dragon Warrior was revolutionary, but it wasn’t the first.
Suikoden series
Chrono Trigger
Treasure of the Rudras
Star Ocean 2
Wild Arms 1 + 2
to name a few.
the only "real rpg" for the n64…
YouTube – first 10 min of OGRE BATTLE 64 PERSON OF LORDLY CALIBER (n64) intro (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ppzbx2KCsgw)
on a side note, if you do get Fallout 3 or Vegas avoid getting them on the ps3 because for alot of people the console just cant handle it
Lunar: Eternal Blue (PS1)
Then never buy an RPG again.
Shadow Hearts (PS2)
Shadow Hearts: Covenant (PS2)
Pretty rare and expensive RPGs, but they’re so good…
Lunar: Eternal Blue (PS1)
Then never buy an RPG again.
Greatest games ever
