Greatest Console RPGs of all Time
RPGs are a staple in any self-respecting gamer’s diet. I myself have spent countless days (and nights) with friends dungeon-crawling, among other things. This GameLemon editorial takes a look at some of the best RPGs of all time on consoles. There are a couple of must-be names in there, as well as a couple of surprises. Here’s one:
Vagrant story is one of those games that has an absolutely rabid cult following. But even those who’ve played it and don’t worship it like a tiny plastic idol will admit that there’s something really special about it. Vagrant Story stars Ashley Riot, a Riskbreaker (i.e. a really bad-ass soldier), who has been sent on a mission to eliminate the leader of a dangerous cult and rescue the hostages the cult has taken. While he botches the job on the first attempt, he is sent to the ruins of the city of Lea Monde, the place where the remnants of the cult retreated to, to give it one more try. From here things get very, very confusing.
So, which are your favorite RPGs of all time? Besides Diablo and Final Fantasy(ies) of course.

Its really weird that the basic gameplay and design are all based on the Ultima series… but this is almost never mentioned…

mine other than FF would have to be either the Xenosaga or Breath of Fire series (BOF 4 had my favorite battle system of all RPG’s)

Chrono Cross was an awesome game. I thought it was better than trigger and most of the final fantasies up to 6.
