There's nothing better than having a great RPG on the go which you can play when you ain't got anything to do. Right now I'm looking for one.

In the past I've made my way through:-
FFVII, FFVIII, FFIX, FFX, FFXII, Star Ocean 2, Xenogears, Suikoden I, Suikoden IV etc

I'd be looking for great RPGs along these lines, preferably for the PS2 or Wii, but if you can recommend any good ones for X-Box360 or PS3 then that's cool cause I'll eventually get one of those consoles.

So, Please, help me waste those boring hours

well does it have to be for those cause i hav a great one for GBA Fire Emblem

A game on kongregate.com called "caravaneer" its AWESOME>

The original Fatal Frame.
They never really topped it with a follow up like it.

GLADIUS for all last gen consoles (best on GC and Xbox)..

Fallout 2 is a fun and VERY re-playable RPG, I'ts kept me occupied for years. You can only get it on PC though, but it's worth it...

Cheers for all these suggestions guys

I've honestly not heard of any of these titles (except Fire Emblem)
I'll start looking into it
Life is hectic and there ain't much time for RPGs these days - so if I'm gonna play one, I really want to play a classic

Thanks again

..Fatal Frame's not an RPG, it's survival horror AFAIK

FFXI is crack ^.~ [MMORPG]

You absolutely must play these two RPG's Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic (1 not 2) on xbox or pc, and Mass Effect on 360. Both have such good storylines you will forget you are playing a game, they are more like movies. Pure genius.

Chrono Trigger

Beat me to it! Look into it's sequel, Chrono... Cross was it? or Slip...or something like that. Came out on PS1

Chrono trigger came out on Super Nintendo. Great game.

-C

Neverwinter Nights for the PC!

You'll get into DnD

a mmorpg you could play is runescape...but be careful it's a disease and if you start playing you'll get addicted i garuntee it. i don't reccommend you play it, but you asked for an rpg so i provided one. and remember... be careful

Well I don't know those PS3 stuff but if you don't mind, computer RPG, dragonfable.com, battleon.com?

Well its not a stupid shooter game so how about survival horror RPG?

perfect world is a good mmorpg...not too addictive

one of the best rpgs i've played is "legend of dragoon", its an old PS1game, but it was just that awesome

never played that one ^ or even heard of it for that matter

well, its an old, 4-disk, game (with decent gameplay graphics, and awesome cinema especially for a ps1 game) with a great storyline. Though it was long and had alot of bonuses and side stuff. But recent games, one of my favorite rpgs is pikmin 2, just gotta love those pikmin.

I still like KotOR and KotOR II, they're both pretty good RPG's. IMHO

Hopefully the shooter surge has ended and storyline will take top place, even above graphics now in future games for awhile at least.

Hopefully. But Halo was a FPS and I think it had a pretty impressive story line. What do you think?

Thats why I like the KotOR games, good storyline and pretty good graphics(for an original Xbox game). A really awesome RPG.

Yes I love star wars.

Ive played all the FF's also and just a few months ago my son bought valkyrie profile: Silmeria which is a side scrolling one , a little weird at first but i got over that and got immediatley addicted and have been playing non stop , dungeons are awesome and after you beat the game you have the opportunity to play on in this totally difficult dungeon , id reccomend this one to anyone , theres others in the series but i havent played them ....yet

yeah i just got that new Pokemon mystery dungeon: explorers of darkness last saturday. I've already gotten about 23 hours on it in the last couple of days, i just can't stop playin it . does anyone here know of any other good DS rpgs?

A few really good RPGs in my opinion are Valkyrie Profile 2, Shining Force EXA, Rogue Galaxy, and Dragon Quest 8. All of them are for PS2. You should check them out.

i cant wait for on the ps3...white night, FFXIII and versus...STAR OCEAN 4 and a few others....there still slow but im yet to tast the next gen rpg experience....that enchanted arms dont count i thought it was un innovative and let down by gameplay..good storie and cut scenes though but not worthy at all for a rpg great symbol of remembrance...ohhhh and the new suikoden 6 rumored to be coming out

If you want a classic and if you want the best play the series baldur's gate one, two and their expansions. Only on PC.

and NWN xD

Losy Odyssey on 360 is best rpg out right now for the current generation of consoles other rpgs on 360 have been a disappointment and so have many on ps3.

Might be. Haven't played the first one, so I can't comment on that one. But Fatal Frame 3 (or Project Zero 3: The Tormented as it's called over here in Euroland) definitely isn't much of an RPG, but straight up survival horror.

Wow that game was horrible! Real waste of time.

Yea, Baldur's Gate I and II for the PC. simply one of the best rpg's ever made, truly epic.

An old classic console game, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night for the PS1 its more of an action game with RPG elements, but a very good game, and fun.

Also, I cant forget the Fallout series on the PC, post-apocalyptic rpg goodness

Star Ocean sumthin sumthin ( i cant remember the sub-title ) for the PS2 was good as well

I liked Champions of Norath for the PS2 also if you like a more hack and slash kind of RPG

Tales of Symphonia on the GameCube was really good, and so are most of the Grandia series for the Playstation 2 ( I enjoyed numbers 2 and 3)
Digital Devil Saga for the PS2 is also pretty fun :]

Fable on xbox, I just bought it on Xbox live arcade for the 360. It's so fun, and Fable 2 is coming out at sometime which looks even better.

Best game...EVER.

Fable 2 will be set in the colonial era,which ruins the game for me.

Chrono Trigger is coming out for the DS.
