Shuhei Yoshida's Top 5 RPG's Of All Time

Shuhei Yoshida's Top 5 RPG's Of All Time.

[GamersHeaven]

Great list :)

[PoSTedUP]

SO3 and ff7 i didnt beat, the others i have not played. Persona 3-4 tho <3. id have to keep it real and say Poke'mon Blue by default, too. currently playing through Chrono Cross and i have a feeling that its going to be one of my favs.

[Chrono]

Chrono Cross is epic.

[FamilyGuy]

I like action based rpgs:

Tales of Destiny, Star Ocean 2, Star Ocean 3, Legend of Legia, White Knight Chronicles 2

Also loved FF8, 9 and 10, Legend of Dragoon, Vagrant Story, Chrono Trigger.

I'm playing through Demons Souls right now but I don't like some of the locations: That prison, the lava pit area and that one putrid place just aren't fun to me. Been skipping them.

[NewMonday]

Bad list

IMOO :

Chrono Trigger
FF6
Baldur's Gate 2
Suikoden 2
Xenogears

[Irishguy95]

Hardly a bad list NewMonday.

I love all the games on your list too. Top 5 isn't enough for me. Anyhow, Dark and demons were two of my fav last gen games. ME2 needs a mention too, and the witcher 2. Fallout New Vegas was great to me.

FF7 too.

The games you mention are definitely in the top 10 of the old style of RPG's. Being turned based/Atm or isometric like BG2.

Either way, I don't neglect new RPGs because i'm bitter about the way they changed from old ones.

Neverwinter nights also deserves a mention too.

Edit - I don't take anyones opinion seriously when they cite Xenogears. The reason is, the game totally ****ed up for the second disk. And not acknowledging that major **** up just shows how one perceives 'quality'. I mean the amount of people that destroyed Mass effect 3's name due to the poor ending and then just let Xenogears away with something that was hours long and simply not a game at all?

[3-4-5]

DQ3 hd remake now!

I've heard the story and music are really good.

I've actually heard some of the music and it sound a bit different than most DQ games.

[Bigpappy]

Not a fan of WRPG's? Fallout, Morrowind, Skyrim, Witcher, ...

[theshredded]

Typical games,Western games just don't hold a candle to JRPGs they don't give that neverending replayability,lasting impression that never fades nor are they hardcore.Try selling ur games & JRPGs would be ur last pick unless ur casual

[dcj0524]

The hell man? I love JRPGS and WRPGS. Deus Ex, The Elder Scrolls, Fallout, The witcher,Dragon's Dogma ( i think its western) are all incredible games and most of them have near ENDLESS REPLAYABILLITY and the gameplay varies quite a bit with it being real-time ( no arena either). I love JRPGS but most of them you run into an enemy, you go into a arena and there isn't as much ways to mix up the combat. There is more great JRPGS than WRPGS but don't go disrespecting such a fantastic genre.

[Hicken]

What? Somebody doesn't like WRPGs? Blasphemy! /s

The only western RPG I like is the first Dragon Age. Well, and Champions of Norrath.

Not gonna bother trying to make a list. My top 5 would wind up being about 16 games.

[gamer_]

What a guy :)

[BlakHavoc]

No legend of dragoon? Lol he was behind that game too! I haven't played a ton of RPG's but i've had my share and TLOG was one of the best i've ever played!

[Kevlar009]

My 5 favorites are Final Fantasy 6, Golden Sun:Lost Age, Super Mario RPG, Xenoblade, and Pokemon Silver. I haven't played a lot of RPG's in recent years, but these stick out to me the most (in memorability and design)

Cool, I never played LoM. I heard mixed things about it, mainly that it wasn't as good as the SNES games from the series. Some have said it's amazing however. How is the plot?

[nosferatuzodd]

Nice list mr sho but mine are
1 legend of Zelda ocarina of time
2 Final fantasy 7
3 Wild arms
4 breath of fire

Good games but neither OoT or Shenmue are RPGs.

OoT is an action/adventure and Shenmue is an adventure.

[joeorc]

[ThatCanadianGuy514]

No persona 4? other than that great list.

Also why would you put Demon souls AND dark souls? You might as well put Dark souls...it improves up demon souls...

[RockmanII7]

Pokemon R/B, Pokemon X/Y, Mass Effect, Kingdom Hearts, and Super Mario RPG for me but I don't play a lot of RPG's.

[Neo111]
