RPG Recommendations

Xenosaga III was my favorite of the series. I love this series to death. Better then Gears/Blade imo.

Agreed, and yes, Xenosaga II is definitely the weakest in the trilogy. More like something you have to get through to make it to 3, but honestly, it's well worth it. The combat system in 3 is more like something you would expect to see out of a mid generation Final Fantasy game (ability based, rather than combo based), but they do some very interesting things with the AP and Boost systems. The action cutscenes are by far the best in the trilogy, and while Momo's voice acting is still atrocious, everyone else has really stellar VAs in the third game.

Xenosaga III is definately worth looking into, just have to make it through II. That being said, if you don't do any of the sidequests in II, it only takes like 10 hours (it's not actually that long of a game).

Tales of Symphonia or Tales of the Abyss.

Or Pokemon. Just for the nostalgia, and I guess in anticipation for Pokemon X/Y in October too.

Or Fire Emblem since someone suggested an SRPG (Valkyria Chronicles, which is also awesome btw). And also since Tomorrow Fire Emblem: Awakening is being released.

If you're not familiar with WRPGs, Baldur's Gate series, Fallout series, Planescape Torment, Arcanum and Icewind Dale are out on gog.com for cheap. You can get all of these $10 each.

For JRPGs, Ni no Kuni released not too long ago to critical acclaim and I'm playing through it now, amazing game.

Also if you don't necessarily want an RPG to play, I have a TON of leftover invites for DOTA 2, and it's free to play and a good time waster.

I was going to go get vampire the masquerade: bloodlines off steam but it was 20 bucks! goes to show why it's one of the best rpgs. I'll wait until it goes on sale. I'm playing witcher 2 right now though. i've had it since the enhanced edition came out and just now getting around to playing it.

Also since nobody mentioned: If you have a PSP you can definitely try Trails In The Sky, it's awesome and has the most... The story is awesome because it's absolutely cliché and played straight, it's very good.

Also for the DS a must acquire is Radiant Historia.
