Glad to see many of them mention Legend of Dragoon and Lost Odyssey, rightly so.

Does Sony still own the Legend of Dragoon license? They need to get to remaking this ASAP! I loved the combat system it used and my mind is racing with ideas for a next-gen version of it. Wish I had a PS3 so I could download it, my discs were scratched to hell (I especially remember the game froze everytime I tried to go and fight the final boss)

Also, Microsoft needs to get going on that Lost Odyssey sequel. The game is crying out for one.

I'd imagine so, seeing it was published and developed by Sony.

Legend of Dragoon isn't on the ps store.

Legend of dragoon was my favorite rpg ever. I loved how lost odyssey seemed so similar.

some of the devs who worked on LoG worked on LO.

Valkyria Chronicles was sick, as was FF12, Lost Odyssey was pretty good too...

[WildArmed]

I personally didn't get into FF12 much, but LO n VC were amazing.

[SageHonor]

I loved Valkyria Chronicles

The color scheme in this article is shit.

Yeah it's really a hideous looking page.

New Vegas improved on Fallout 3 in almost every way. Better companions, Better aiming, Better 3rd person, More complex story line, more endings, and more sex. As much as Ioved Fallout 3, Vegas was a welcome addition to iron out the kinks that fallout had.

The characters and storyline in Fallout 3 were better though, despite FNV having a more complex story.

It did improve everything gameplay wise though, I will agree with that.

-huh, that was a weird site, where is lost odyssey i'm playing that right now in the wait for Deus Ex and I'm very much enjoying it! :D

...More than half of the games mentioned here are about as far from underrated as it gets. We're talking high-profile titles that got a ton of media prior to release, rave reviews, great sales, and are STILL very popular years (and decades) after their release.

Here's a hint: if you ever see an, "underrated games" list, and there's a Final Fantasy game on there, don't bother.

come on Konami Suikoden VI

[PandaJenkins]

I actually just started playing The Last Remnant on PC recently. Honestly deserves more attention cause it's really quite a good JRPG. I guess the poorly made 360 version got it such a bad reputation though :/

[consolez_FTW]

Man...I wish I could go back in time, just to play Legend of the Dragoon again. I cant believe I lost that game...Come on Sony, bring Legend of the Dragoon to PSN plzz!

[_Aarix_]

Well they make emulators or just buy the game online all ps1 games work on ps3

[mobijoker]

Alpha protocol,New Vegas are two most underrated rpgs in recent memory.They were bashed for bugs but as a game they are at much higher level than their ratings suggest.

[r21]

what about Legend of Mana? i absolutely loved that game.

[strange1986]

For some reason every list like this has to include Valkyria Chronicles. It's not underrated. It may not have sold very well, but it was almost universally acclaimed.

[Kyosuke_Sanada]

I'm really surprised, Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne didn't make the list but then again was that underrated?......

[Moebius69]

In my opinion i think the first mass effect was underated

[Qrphe]

Legend of Dragoon by far

[qwertyz]

lost odyssey and blue dragon, both IPs ARE owned by MS but they let mistwalker develop some blue dragon games for DS MS didn't buy mistwalker though . Square enix needs to stop supporting 360 or we'll never see more of these games especially lost odyssey that MS is just sitting on
