Best Platform RPG BESIDES Final Fantasy?

damn, I don't have my PS2 hooked up. I have it but that's just because of GHI and II. Other than that I don't play it. Anyone know if they plan to continue the FF series on either PS3 or the 360?

FF is pretty much a staple on PlayStaton platforms,so I highly doubt that it will go to 360 or Wii.I'm sure they are hard at work on the next installment as well.

what the fuck you lookin at?
I said or PS3. Which is fine as I plan to buy one eventually. I'll have to settle for my 360 till I get the money though.

Final Fantasy XIII has been known for quite some time: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Final_fantasy_xiii
Looks like it will be the exact same thing it has been for the last 10 years.

Most old series of games are just huge let-downs these days when compared to fresh games. I'd like to see something else than graphics updated in series like Final Fantasy and Zelda. Looking forward to Devil May Cry 4 though, the demo was great.
 
Crono Trigger was absolutely awesome, but I didn't like the sequel.

I forgot about Chrono Trigger. It was also one of the best RPGs games ever. Personally I would rate it only behind Xenogears and Final Fantasy VII as my favorite one. Not only was the story good, but also the way the game was structured was well thought out. I remember being surprised they could pack as much as they did into the SNES system.
 
don't forget about all the endings that it had, the choose whether to open a chest in the future or in the past and all that good stuff. Plus if you replayed it you didn't have to start from scratch again.

knows petras secret: she farted.
heed my words rpg lovers. defenders of oasis on the sega game gear. u gotta try it. i bought a game gear on ebay just to play it. its really fucking good. REALLY fucking good.
 
Don't forget about the Suikoden games. I absolutely fell in love with Suikoden 3, the way the story is told in that game is incredible. Suikoden 4 was iffy, Suikoden 5 was not so bad.

I never played 1 or 2.

what about Lost Odyssey on the 360? Anyone played it? Looks good from the vids I've found.
 
The Breath of Fire series is ok.
Legend of Dragoon, I mostly like that on because of the mature storytelling.
Valkyrie Profile (You'll probably never find it unless you play on emulator)
If you like strategy/tactical combat (like FF Tactics, only better) the whole Fire Emblem series is good, IMO.

I'll have to think for a bit...maybe more later.

That's bad...

because suikoden 1 and 2 are the best Jrpg Ever.

What is good about the suikoden series is a storyline that actually has some sense... no more Psycho villains that want to destroy the world for fun...
Suikoden is War and politics.
way more realistic if you ask me.
 
Too Human due out this year looks great, although I'm not sure if it counts.

Yeah, I never got to play all of the Suikoden games, but I did play Suikoden 3 and it took me by surprise. A long, good story told through multiple perspectives. Xenogears is an old favorite of mine. I really liked the Chrono games (Trigger and Cross). Anyone remember the Lunar games that came out for the Sega CD. They remade them for the Playstation years later. Ofcourse, Knights of the Old Republic is Hall of Fame.
 
There are plenty of good ones that aren't an FF game.
The whole Breath of Fire series is pretty good
Chrono Trigger will always be amazing
Legend of Dragoon was very good.
Persona 3 is the newest one I have played that was pretty incredible.
I'm also surprised no one mentioned mass effect, I found that game really fun.
