I'll just.. make a bullet list.
- I'm a HUGE Chrono Trigger fan. Not so much of Cross, but I <3 some Trigger.
- I absolutely LOVE the Witcher.
- While I don't think the Legacy of Kain series is really considered a full-on RPG, it plays a lot like the Zelda games and I absolutely fell in love with it. Hands down one of my favorite stories.
- Speaking of Zelda, A Link to the Past is my favorite.
- Grandia 1 and 2 are wonderful!
- Xenosaga is great stuff too!
- I really liked the Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 RPG elements, and I enjoyed Darksiders as well. Both are kind of Zelda/God of War clones, but I still enjoyed them.
- Record of Lodoss War for the Dreamcast was an amazing game. I still play it from time to time!
- Phantasy Star Online 1 and 2 were ngh. If I still had people to play it with, I probably would.
- For people that are a fan of old school D&D/Baldur's Gate/Neverwinter Nights stile games, I'd suggest picking up Divintiy: Original Sin. It's super long, incredibly in-depth, and plays a lot like Final Fantasy Tactics and it's co-op!
