Any good PS3 RPG's? - Blu-ray Forum

Spiderbri · 02-23-2009, 12:37 PM

Hey gang, ever since I played Parasite Eve on PS1 (the reason I bought it instead of n64) I have loved RPG's. I have played every Final Fantasy because of it, and every Grandia, plus lots of others.

My question is what are some really good RPG's I can play on the PS3? I know VC is praised but that is more of a strategy rpg. My prefered gameplay style is spend a day or so running in circles leveling 10 or more levels in the begining and then spend the rest of the game stomping over bosses.

Are there any old style rpg's for the system yet? I'm looking forward to white knight and FF13 but they are far away. I have kicked around the idea of folklore but am not sure. I'd love some feedback and suggestions. Thanks.

Fallout 3 and Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion

Eternal Sonata is probably the best "old school" style you'd be looking for.

If you are interested in Japanese RPGs, then you will enjoy Disgaea 3.

Yeah, but he said he wasn't too interested in Valkyria Chronicles because it was more strategy oriented so it's possible that Disgaea 3 would bore him to death!

I love Disgaea 3, but it's really only for people who like grid-style strategy RPG's. If you liked Final Fantasy Tactics, then Disgea 3 will be perfect for you.

Valkyria Chronicles.

Hey man. I really think you'd like Fallout 3. It really gives you the freedom to roam around almost anywhere in a dystopic America. Has a good blend of genres including a level up rpg style. After playing the heck out of it I went out and bought Oblivion. I haven't opened it yet but just knowing it came from the same game makers it became an instant buy for me. So yeah... although it's not gonna give you that 100% parasite eve feel (or maybe at all) there is no way you can go wrong with fallout 3. Let us know your decision!

You probably mean dystopian ? Anyways Fallout feels like a war game, somehow I just don't picture it as some kind of Oblivion. But I have not tried it so I don't know for sure. I'm looking forward to the new Elder scrolls 5 announced for 2010
