I love RPG games, its probably because I'm not really a hardcore game player and don't have the needed reflexes like one. But it is also because I enjoy a game with a deep story behind it, one that u can easily fall into (like soap opera). There are many different types of RPGs today but not too many are comparable in my opinion with the classic ones, they are the ones that I keep going back to replay again and again. and heres a few that I would like to suggest for you all. btw, I'm not going to tell you the storyline cause I don't want to spoil it for you.
-Final Fantasy 3 (or 6 in jap ver.)(SNES)- Yes, I have play all the ones in the middle, but never have really felt in love as much as this one. The music, the story is just so amazing. Even till today, I still have some of those songs on my cellphone. I know there were a lot of debates between FF6 and FF7 on which one is better. I have to say they are both awesome, so just play em both and judge for yourself.
-Chrono Trigger (SNES)- Even Gamespot.com have name this game the greatest game of all time, so this one must be excellent as well (in fact it is). This game is made by Square Soft (maker of FFs), it is comparable to the FF series and on top of it, this one features multiple endings so you can go back and play it again and again. The storyline is awesome as usual and the music is amazing, the dual combo was a new thing and it works extremely well with the game, so go and get a copy of this game (hopefully you won't have to spend too much for it).
- Final Fantasy 1 (NES)- The two words that gamers think of when you talk about RPG games. Final Fantasy is like the grandfather of Rpgs, it is not just simple hack and slash but have a full storyline behind it. Most NES rpgs are not so well written and lacks quality but Final Fantasy is definitely not one of them, you can easily get around 50+ hours of gameplay with this one (assuming your NES doesn't fall apart like mine). if you are new to rpgs, this one is definitely for you.

Super Mario RPG (SNES)- Mario pretty much starts in every category of games that I can think of, from driving to sport and now to RPG. Not all of his games are successful but this one definitely is. To start, this game is 3D, its impressive at that time when it came out. The cast of characters are still the same old favorites you love (including Broswer) and there are tons of secret for you to unlock! and just to spill some beans in case you have a mix feeling about trying this game, you get to team up with Broswer and create some impressive combos.

Earthbound (aka. Mother in jap ver)(SNES)- Don't know if too many people know about this game, but this one is definitely is one creative and fun RPG to play (in fact. Many rpgs revolves around dragons and mages but this one is about a kid who carries a baseball bat to save the world, now that's something new and creative. On top of that, you battle against silly creatures, eat pizza and junk food to recover health, best of all, you call your dad to save your game and he'll give you spending money.

- Shining Forces 2 (Genesis)- This game must have the greatest cast of character ever, so many that I can't even count. This one is so fun to play with, so fun that I even level all my characters to level 99 (yes even the small weakling green creature) (if you know what I mean), this is more like a strategy rpg, so its sort of like battle chess. You have knights, half horse half man, mages, archers, machines (like a tank), birdman, werewolves (omggg, so many more), if you like strategy rpgs, this one is a must get!
- 
Phantasy Stars 4 (Genesis)- I have play 2 and 3 but I just felt overall, 4 is the best. This is a more robotic type of rpg, I don't remember when was the year, but you battle against all mech creatures. the setup is kind of funny, because you just get the see the back of each character's head but that doesn't affect the game play at all. I don't remember much about this game because its been a while since I last played but all i know is, this game is great and I bet you'll enjoy it as well.
