The Official GF Recommended RPG List

[Bertrum]

See, I've never even gotten that far. I can never get my guys strong enough to fight some of the tougher bosses (like warumonzemon or the guys in factorial town)

and technically, it's only an ultimate, since mega form wasn't introduced until later on.

Technically it is an ultimate, however we all know it's a Mega :P

But yeah the best thing to do I find is train your Digimon non-stop until it is Champion/Ultimate, then go and kick butt for a few days while you can

That's what I do, but it's annoying since it takes such a long time to get your guy strong enough, and by the time it is strong enough, you only have like 2 or 3 days left to battle with it.

They're making a new Digimon World based on the first one for the PSP, hopefully it's more balanced. I'm definitely interested

Me too, it will be cool to see it

Please don't get mad if any of these were already suggested, I didn't read every page but I think if maybe they are said by more than one user, it could get recognition. Keep in mind that some of these can be considered Strategy with RPG elements as well.

This does not cover all system and not all these games are "ground-breaking rpg titles" but if you are an RPG-fan and you can't get enough, these are some titles that can give you the substance you crave. I will mention that the Lunar Games and Grandia games are some of the BEST RPG games that have come out with Grandia holding the best combat design system title, in my book anyways. All Shin Megami Tensei games should be played because they are all a unique experience. Disgaea is for those that are extremely hardcore to Strategy-based RPGs. The * also denotes extreme difficulty, or at least it was a pain when I was playing. lol

[EpsilonX]

Dang, thats a lot of games. I'll get to updating this eventually, thanks for the post.

[mutilations]

No problem at all. I will keep adding games as I get them if they haven't been put on this list yet. I will help the best I can because I like to stay completely up-to-date with RPGs now that I've seen Playstation get back into the scene and developers following suit. If you have any questions too, let me know.

[BobTD]

Im thinking we should add he first jade Cocoon for the ps1.

Also I cant believe Final Fantasy Tactics is not included. Hands down my favorite RPG. Unless we arent counting tactics RPGs, but I see Ogre Tactics and they are made by the same group.

[EpsilonX]

I coulda swore I added Final Fantasy Tactics...

edit: yea, tactics and tactics: war of the lions are on my post. and theres no point in posting about games already on the list.

[Kenoi]

I'm curious about Shin Megami Tensei: Persona
and

Tactics ogre: let us cling together

I'm really thinking about getting both but... I wanna know which one's worth playing & worth my time, haha

I could play them and do a review or maybe a summary, as I'm about to beat Hyperdimension Neptunia and need another game.
