Dot Hack G.Ü. ????

You put down ultimate alliance but not X-Men Legends 2?!!! Casual

It's sad seeing the quality of PlayStation 1 RPGs then watching it degrade to this. Xenogears to xeno saga..... Ff vii to ff xii.... Abysmal Transition

Right now I'm currently playing at xenogears and when I saw that xenosaga episode 1 I felt like it was xenoears retarded stepchild

Dark cloud was so overrated. A rpg for casuals

cursed thumbnail

are some of these being played via emulation ninja? if so what are you using. cheers!

A couple of those arguably aren't RPGs at all, notably Marvel Ultimate Alliance. Final Fantasy X is best avoided; battle system and music are average, story and vast majority of the cast just plain awful. And seriously, no Suikoden V? Better than pretty much everything on that list with the POSSIBLE exception of Persona 4, indeed it's a very strong contender for best RPG on the system.

Why is the thumbnail a PS3 game?

What about Wild Arms 3, Summoner 2, Suikoden 5, Star Ocean 3, Shadow Hearts: Covenant, and Atelier Iris 2: The Azoth of Destiny?

I know this is somewhat nitpicky, but I would have specified Persona 3 FES. There's regular Persona 3 and then there's the updated FES version. Persona 3 FES made a couple of smaller scale changes and it has The Answer for anyone who even cares for that. Then again, the later isn't being included for Persona 3's remake; so most newer players probably wouldn't even bother with The Answer in Persona 3 FES. Especially with The Answer being controversial. Though newer players would go for the former mentioned factor in FES.

Oh boy...Dragon Quarter. That game killed Breath of Fire...until Breath of Fire 6 came out and proved to be even worse. I know that breaking the cycle was an important part of not just the game's story, but also what they wanted to do with the game's design. However, the developers squandered that.

Instead of Dragon Quarter, I would've had Xenosaga Episode 3. It's the best of Xenosaga and learned from the gameplay mistakes of Episode 2. While also improving upon something Xenosaga Episode 2's game play did correctly and that was the implementation of the ES mecha. It also brought back the majority of the Episode 1 voice cast while allowing for Momo's Episode 2 actress to improve upon her role. They also kept Jin Uzuki's Episode 2 actor; which many agree was a good move. He fits the character so well and not to mention the Episode 1 actor hardly any lines to work with for Jin.
