Anyone an RPG'r here?

From the age 12 up until a year ago I was hardcore RPG'r.... I left platformers and shmups for this genre (except Sonic... can't leave the ol' hog). My first RPGs were on my SEGA; Lunar, then Shining Force. I then went on to enjoy such great games as:

Lunar 2
SF2
PS 1,2 and 4 (I am one of the many to hate 3)
LandStalker
D+D eternal sun thinga ma bob (dont remember the full name)
Shadowrun

then onto the Saturn for more (the list gets very long from there on out)

So what are your fav RPGs for the genny?

I am, but I'm much more of a PC RPG gamer. They are far from as restrictive, usually contain actual role-playing elements and feel as if they actually bring the genre forward as opposed to their japanese counterparts...

I'm a big psOne RPG'er...

But I'm playing phantasy star 2 right now. I like it.

I'm just not very fast w/ them. I got the key to get the dynamite finally. Kept getting sidetracked by sonic... damn that blue hedgehog.

Back in the day, I managed to miss the whole genre. I got my first RPG, Shining in the Darkness, about 5 or 6 years ago, and I loved it. Then I got Light Crusader, an excellent game also.

I got Phantasy Star Collection for GBA few months ago. PS1 was great. First I hated PS2, but I learned to love it. Too hard, but the story was nice. Then PS3, "the worst RPG ever". After all bad things I had heard about this game, I had no expectations. Somehow I failed to see what's wrong with it. In other words, I love it. Maybe not as good as other games in series, but still a great game nonetheless.

Currently I'm playing Shining Force remake on GBA. It gets better and better. I definitely need some more RPGs. Can't wait until I get Phantasy Star 4 or Shining Force 2.

im really not in too RPG games :D

I'm all about Phantasy Star IV and Shadowrun. Landstalker and Heimdall are also seriously rockin'.

I love rpgs and the first one I played was on snes.

On the genesis my first rpg was Phantasy Star 4 I rented it.

My all time favorite rpg for genesis has to Phantasy Star 4 then Landstalker, Shining Force.

I don't have as much time for them as before, but I still love me a good RPG every now and then! On the Genesis, Shining in the Darkness and PS II are my favorites, and I love Popful Mail on the Sega CD.

The ones I enjoy the most are the Action RPGs, as the turn based stuff gets a bit boring after a while. At least to me. My top RPG list:

#1 Beyond Oasis - Far and away. Must buy, must buy, must buy!
#2 Landstalker
#3 Crusader of Centy
#4 Light Crusader

I like rpg's. My second favorite genre after shmups. My favorite rpg's are chrono trigger and FF3 on the snes and the Ys series on the turbo. Genesis had some nice ones too though. Beyond Oasis, Phantasy Star 2 and 4, Crusader of Centy, and the genesis version of Ys 3 were all great games. I tried to play the D&D game today for the first time and couldn't get into the battle system. I generally prefer action rpg's with a few exceptions(phantasy star,chrono trigger).

Out of all the system's I've had, owned and played.
My favorites are

Dreamcast
PsOne
Genesis.

and the Psone is only there for the RPG's.

I wish there were more genesis rpg's, and I wish they were more accessible economically.

I've been gaming since 1982/3 (since I was 4/5 yrs old) and I didn't play a single RPG outside of Zelda till 1997 when FF7 came out on the PSX. My GF at the time bought it and was so obsessed with it that I gave it a shot and was intriqued by the genre *what an interesting kinda game I thought to myself* and from then on I grew into loving RPGs. My fav. sub genre are tactical/strategy RPGs like FFT or Tactics Ogre, and it makes sense since my first RPG I beat was Dragon Force on my Saturn. I know it sounds lame now to not have noticed the genre before FF7 but I was always really big into sports/arcade/action type of games and I very much still am, it's why I love my Sega Genesis: arcade perfect ports, beat-em-ups/shumps/run-an-gun/and sports games galore. Nonetheless I've made up for lost time by tracking down tons of RPGs for older systems and enjoy 'em to this day. As for my fav system for RPG's I gotta hand it to the PSX as it's loaded with 'em. I've got almost 100 PSX games and a good percentage of them are RPGs! Coming in second is a tie between the Sega CD & SNES, one had a ton, the other had only a handfull but boy were they great. Chrono Trigger vs. Lunar, man that's a toughie...

P.S. I loved my Dreamcast and Skies of Arcadia/Grandia II were 2 of the best RPGs to grace any system IMO but there's not enough of an RPG selection on the DC to place it in my top 3, sorry.

Heh, I'm a huge RPGr, I love to play RPG's. On the genny, I like Phantasy Star, Beyond Oasis, Sword of Vermillion, and especially the Shining Force series.

I'm a pretty big fan of RPGs. I started out with Zelda and Dragon Warrior on the NES and then got into the Phantasy Star series on the Genesis. Shining in the Darkness and the Shining Force games were great too. I'm playing through Light Crusader now, which I don't really classify as an RPG, more action adventure than anything. And I have Sword of Vermillion that I'm struggling to get through. Not that it's tough, but I just hate having to fight a battle every two or three steps. I'm trying to find a copy of Crusader of Centy, I heard that's pretty good.

I'm still playing Phantasy star II. I'm happy I have 4 characters and they're getting pretty powerful now.
