Nine years after its release, Skyrim is slowly being overshadowed in the RPG industry, but what will take its place as gaming enters a new generation?
While Bethesda celebrates Skyrim's anniversary, it is worth remembering that the long-awaited Starfield should have launched this month too.
It’s foolish to say that one RPG is "better" than all the rest across systems and generations. This is merely the 25 RPGs we feel are the best and nothing more!
Dragon Quest 11 isn't even the best Dragon Quest game, it's a good game, but not the best. Dragon Quest 8 is superior to it in almost every way.
OK let's end this, in order
Xenogears
Final Fantasy 8
Final Fantasy 7
Final Fantasy 9
Final Fantasy 6
Chrono Trigger
Legend of Dragoon
Breath of Fire 4
Breath of Fire 3
Dragon Quest 8
Dragon Quest 11
Vagrant Story
Saga Frontier 2
Chrono Cross
Suikoden 2
Suikoden
Threads of Fate
Final Fantasy X
Final Fantasy XII
Lunar 2
Some of my personal favorites are Planescape: Torment, New Vegas, Morrowind, Kotor 2, Wasteland 3, Witcher 2, Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines, Deus Ex, Disco Elysium and Vampyr.
As far as jrpg, while I'm not as big a fan as I am for Western RPGs, I love Persona 3 - 5, Dragon Quest 8 and 11, Rogue Galaxy, Final Fantast 6,7, and 12; and Lost Odyssey.
Nothing yet.
Possibly ES6.
I know that a lot western people love Skyrim style, but I can't stand the FPS physics and basic designs. For me anything like XII, Horizon, The Witcher or such. Easily overshadowed Skyrim with just first chapter or even first tutorial. Even BoTW feels and plays better.

They should pay the modding community for its longevity. Without quality of life mods, Skyrim is a lazy crap game. Same goes for Fallout 4. Bethesda should get credit for the skeleton, but those modders are what sell the game year after year.
