Top 10 RPGs

1. FF IX
2. FF X
3.The Legend of Dragoon
4. FF VI
5. FF VII

As for the other five I simply can't choose. To be honest I think my first five are equal (though, I'm sure I might be the only one that enjoyed FF IX and FF VII fanboys are going to disagree.) Also, I didn't think FF VIII is worthy of being in my top 5.

Not in any order:

1. Final Fantasy 6
2. Chrono Trigger
3. Seiken Densetsu 3 (Secret of Mana 2)
4. Terranigma
5. Kingdom Hearts
6. Treasure of the Rudras
7. Dark Alliance
8. Super Mario RPG
9. Final Fantasy 5
10. Xenosaga Episode 3

You know, this thread made me realize how few RPGs I actually liked. I'd have trouble making a top-10 list without spamming it with Might and Magic titles.

Suikoden I&II should be on that list.

As should Legend of Legaia.

In no particular order.

Skies of Arcadia
Dragon Age: Origins
Grandia 2
Shining force III
Phantasy Star Online
Golden Sun 2
Mass Effect 2
Deus Ex
Neverwinter Nights 2
Panzer Dragoon Saga

Some good ones.

Final Fantasy VII
Final Fantasy X
Borderlands
Dragon Age Origins
Demon's Souls

Are we talking strictly traditional RPG's or things like Zelda and the more recent castlevanias too?

1. Oblivion
2. Mass Effect 2
3. Fallout 3
4. Deus Ex
5. Planescape Torment
6. Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines
7. Dragon Age Origins
8. Fable 2
9. Kotor 1 & 2
10. Jade Empire

Honorable Mentions: Mass Effect 1, Morrowind, the Witcher, Deus Ex: Invisible War.

If people include games like Zelda, then I'd have to add games like Grim Fandango, Beyond Good an Evil and Longest Journey (both games) and revise my top 10.

Although I think Zelda, Grim Fandango and its ilk fall under the Adventure genre.

ok, hmm, then I'm not sure I've played through enough to have a top ten but I'll do my best of the games I've played through all the way and can form an opinion of.-

1. Super Mario RPG
2. Final Fantasy II
3. Final Fantasy IV
4. Final Fantasy IV: The After Years
5. Final Fantasy
6. Dragon Warrior

Once I get around to getting through some of the other RPGs I own, I'll update the list.

I believe Golden Sun and Legend of Dragoon deserve a spot.

1. Star Ocean: Till the End of Time
2. Tales of Phantasia
3. Final Fantasy VII
4. Xenogears
5. Golden Sun
6. Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King
7. Final Fantasy IX
8. Chrono Trigger
9. Xenosaga Episode I: Der Wille zur Macht
10. Xenosaga Episode III: Also sprach Zarathustra

Honorable mentions: Chrono Cross, Xenosaga Episode II: Jenseits von Gut und Böse, Suikoden II, Vagrant Story

Ah well, I'll try to do one anyway. In no particular order:

— Mass Effect
— Mass Effect 2
— Icewind Dale
— Diablo 2(not much of a real RPG, but still...)
— Borderlands(same)
— Might and Magic: World of Xeen(IV and V combined)
— Might and Magic VI: The Mandate of Heaven

Yea, that's only 7, but I don't want it to get redundant.

No Heroes of Might & Magic III? 😄

MW2 was a dissapointment, wasn't it? Curse the crappy level design.

yeah... i liked the SP even though it was ridiculous, but the multiplayer sucks compared to MW1 imo. theres too much noob friendly stuff in it

It has some RPG elements, but it's no more an RPG than Warcraft 3 is. Saw no reason to list since we have the core Might and Magic games which are real RPGs.

Gothic
Diablo 2
Baldur's Gate
Vampires The Masquerade - Bloodlines
Gothic 2
KOTOR
Neverwinter Nights
Fable
Jade Empire
Silver
