Hi all, I thought I would start a thread being a noob.  I am a massive fan of RPG's, what are your top 5??

I will start off, mine are:

1.  Shining the holy arc - Sega Saturn
2.  Secret of mana - SNES
3.  Dragonforce - Sega Saturn
4.  Zelda a link to the past - SNES
5.  Fallout 4 New Vegas - PS3

Ah! I love RPG's too!

I can't put these in a specific order, because I can't possibly choose.

1. Chrono Trigger - SNES
2. Paper Mario - N64
3. Shadow Hearts/Shadow Hearts Covenant - PS2
4. Kingdom Hearts/Kingdom Hearts 2 - PS2
5. Final Fantasy IX

Also, I think this needs to be moved to the Video Game forum. ;]

Local Mods :

I'd say in order...
Mother 3
EarthBound
Mother
Pokemon
Chrono Trigger.   And those are my all time fav's

This are my top five RPG games.
Kingdom Hearts 2
Kingdom Hearts 1
Pokemon
Legend of Zelda Link To a Past
Mario and Luigi Super Star Saga.

I'll move this over to the Video Game forum.

My 5 favorites in no order except Xenosaga because that was my all time favorite RPG:

Xenosaga
Final Fantasy 6
Final Fantasy X
Chrono Trigger
Dragon Force

I can't believe somebody else has played Dragon Force. It makes me happy.

In no real order,since I can never order stuff

Dragon ball z:Attack of the saiyans(DS)
Phantasy star 4(Genesis)
Cthulhu saves the world(Steam/XBLA)
Final Fantasy 5 Advanced(GBA)
Digimon world dusk(DS)

I really like JRPG's especially one's based off anime's the only western one is Cthulhu saves the world

thanks for moving it over DARKANINE, my bad!  Dragon force is worth a fortune on eBay now.  I wish I still had my pristine copy of it. 

Chrono trigger seems to come up quite a lot so I think I am going to have to give it a try!  A lot of the others in all of your top charts are generally in my top 20! 

I like Skyrim,Fallout:NV,Mass Effect,and Final Fantasy 7

My favorite rpg games are...                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            One, Ao oni  on PC  spooky game with jump scares, a weird purple guy and stupid 8Th  graders.
 
 
Second, Minecraft for Xbox 360  a game where your imagination is a big part in playing!     
 
 Third,  Legend of Zelda,ocarina of time. the game is about saving Zelda as well as playing a ocarina and having a horse named epona.

 fourth, Mario 64 for the N64  the original but, a 3d version. Also, a the end if you get all 120 stars then you can get 100 lives and get to wear a Luigi  costume. 

Last, Pokémon silver for the game boy color. The game is the game that started my childhood gaming. The Pokémon are awesome and, you get to fight ash  he is hard because all his Pokémon are level 60-80.                                                                       

In no particular order, I love:

Dragon Warrior 3
Final Fantasy IV
Final Fantasy VI
Zelda, a Link to the past
..

..

That's it.  I give you four.

First off any Legend of Zelda game. XD But the thing that surprises me most is no one has even come close to mentioning Legend of Dragoon (PS1) The only thing that could be considered close would be games with the word "Dragon " in them. I've seen sooo many people that enjoy the "retro games" (so to speak) here on Vizzed but I can't even find one mention of Legend of Dragoon. If you want a game that has a great story, awesome battle system, and memorable characters, play LoD. Sorry for kinda turning this into a promo for a game, but I felt that it needed to be put out there, seeing as Sony re-released it on the PSN for $5.99. 
But I digress. Here's my list:
1: Zelda games (Any at all)
2: Legend of Dragoon
3:Final Fantasy 4 (DS version preferably but Advance is fine)
4:Ape Escape
5:It's a tie between Rocket Knight Adventures (Sega Genesis) , VectorMan (Sega Genesis), and Comix Zone (Sega Genesis)

Final fantasy......do I need to say ore about this wonder of a game?

it is cool.it is interactive.it is challenging.what more do people want?Final fantasy 8 is what people want!It is everything multiplied!
it is awesome.it is super interactive.it is omega hard!This is just what I want.....

let us see i have so many to choose from and not in any order

1)Chrono Trigger
2)Final Fantasy(1-9)
3)pokemon(any)
4)fire emblem(any)
5)Skies of arcadia

I have so many more i just only giving five

Any FF game
Any Pokemon Game
Super Mario Bros RPG GBA
Chrono
Secret of Mana

I'd have to say my favorite RPG's are

1. Final Fantasy 7
2. Wild Arms
3. Secret Of Mana
4. Final Fantasy 10
5. Final Lap Twin

How could I forget about wild arms!  There are just too many gems out there.

From what I've played:
1. Final Fantasy V Advance: Best class system I've ever seen in a video game, and a self-aware story that takes its clicheness and runs with it. I love this game. Played FFI-VI, and this is easily my favorite.
2. Paper Mario The Thousand Year Door: This is the only Paper Mario game I've really spent time playing, and I get the feeling it's the only one I'll need to. Unique settings, no grinding required, lots of strategies, and tons of personality. More RPGs should be made like this.
3. Mass Effect 2/3 (tie): As one of the few people who wasn't outraged over the plot of Mass Effect 3 (due to my probably somewhat lower expectations), I enjoyed both of these games equally, ME2 for its better character writing and story, and ME3 for its better gameplay. Not much I can say, that hasn't already been said.
5. Breath of Fire II: As this is the only game I've played in the series other than Dragon Quarter (which I could not get into due to the setting being terribly lifeless and dull), this gets put here. It's largely because of nostalgia, but it was a genuinely good game with a solid battle system, good music, a colourful setting, a decent plot and interesting characters. Only real complaint is how the translation team felt the need to abbreviate everything. 

It's tough to limit it to just 5... let's try...

1. Star Ocean: Last Hope
2. Tales of the Abyss
3. Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4
4. Chrono Trigger
5. Disgaea 4: A Promise Unforgotten

Honorable Mention: Eternal Sonata

1. Radiant Historia
2. Persona 3 Portable
3. Chrono Trigger
4. Tie between Final Fantasy X and Final Fantasy IV
5. Pokemon Silver/SoulSilver
