Vote for Final Fantasy VII 1) Final Fantasy VII

Three is nothing to say, this is the... the... something (there is not a word immense enough to describe it) of RGP games.

MasterThrasher

The definition of perfection in the world of video games.

oblivion is an absolute work of art. plain and simple

the6donof6chron

On graphics. It is the greatest game ever made. Period. It is the greatest RPG ever made, and I am so glad it is number 2 on this list.

I would hope in time Fallout 3 gets high on this list as well.

VTMB is number one among other RPGs.

Zaure10

Why there is no this great RPG game in this list? This game is really brilliant.


Vote for Chrono Trigger 7) Chrono Trigger

What could I say about this game? it is more than Fantastic and I can’t believe there are people who thinks there are games that surpasses it, the only games that are good enough are FF VII, FF IV and maybe oblivion and golden sun, but people seems to prefer Graphics than history line how sad.

Skala2301

Wow. You people are too modern. You all need to learn to appreciate this game. Chrono Trigger redefined RPG and the compelling story and characters just make it magnificent.

Certise

Better than Final Fantasy 7 by a long shot. By the way why is Ocarina of Time on the list. It is the best game of all time but this is an RPG list?

my favorite game

Julsnet

for all video games creators this is the best game ever
with a big diference. and majoras mask is second.

martin

Ocarina of Time IS the most influential 3D (non Ego-shooter) game of all time. And it still has a charm that might hold for an eternity.

darkmatter

Vote for Golden Sun 12) Golden Sun

my favorite rpg with d2 in a close second. I spent so much time playing this game only to have it stolen :/ I lvled everyone to 99 with all the best shit. one of the best games ever made.

deadgrass27

I hoped and hoped and hoped for a sequel to Lost Age, but it never came... the storyline in this game is hands-down the most original ever.

Its story line was as gripping as an excellent novel

Vote for Diablo II: Lord of Destruction 13) Diablo II: Lord of Destruction

the 1 2 and 3 are going to beat all 1st on is still rated in the top 10 and it is 15 years old

sherminator300

THE BEST.-NUF SAID

semplang_boy

Hah! #13? This game is like God, and then the rest of the games are just climbing the stairway to heaven.

jewunit69

Vote for Morrowind 14) Morrowind

Try playing this one and both Gothic 3 & Oblivion will seem dull & boring. It’s amazing, but this big & complex game takes just 1 CD!

shakma

Try Morrowind with several of the mods of the community and the two expansion packs.
Morrowind is not for amateurs and Final fantasy is owned by this baby.

Best RPG ever. Better than Oblivion.

Vote for Fallout 3 15) Fallout 3

The Brotherhood of Steel rocks!

USSR4LIFE

EXCELLENT

GunsNJovi

Vote for Final Fantasy VIII 16) Final Fantasy VIII

Best FF ever to be made by Square... Lets hope for FF VIII-2

Wish they would have done a movie about this, instead of the "overhyped" FF7, the plot here is so much deeper.

Compelling storyline with in depth character customization. Best of the series.

Vote for Final Fantasy XII 17) Final Fantasy XII

OH MY GOD this is the best game I have ever played. THIS GAME SHOULD BE NUMBER 1!

PlayboyX429

Vote for Final Fantasy 3 20) Final Fantasy 3

should be on the top two. where the old school rpg heads at

Vote for Pokemon Red 21) Pokemon Red

most innovative handheld game ever and hold so many precious memories

mikeyeggo

Behind the overblown marketing, anime show, and hysteria was actually a very fun game that with a high level of customization and strategy (150 distinct characters to choose from with a huge movepool between them meant a lot of strategic options in building your party). It has since been Nintendo’s largest franchise and the #1 best selling series of games on every single Nintendo portable since. A simple kid-friendly game that is easy to pick up, but holds a lot of depth with good replay value.

Vote for Earthbound 22) Earthbound

Easily one of the the most underrated games of all time.

Rigney89

Best SNES game ever!
Ness is the man

Easily the best Rpg on any Nintendo system. Should at least be top 5.

Vote for Final Fantasy IX 23) Final Fantasy IX

Unlike... every other game created by mankind (at least that I’ve played) this game is literally flawless. Not a single problem with it that can’t be justified.

arbeZameniC

The best game ever. It is a work of art that examines the philosophy of life in an exciting and thought provoking way. The characters and music are immense.

I played this game for hours and hours when I was a kid and I must say it was very addicting!

Amazing game, and one of the first true rpg’s, and it was for the best system so far, the nes. I don’t know about everybody else, but I am tired of the newer games, ever since the ps2/xbox/gamecube time, pretty much all rpg’s are way too easy.
