If you are asked to vote best TB RPG , Which of the following will it be ?

01 Final Fantasy
02 Fire Emblem
03 Legend of Heroes
04 Generation of Chaos
05 Golden Sun
06 Suikoden
07 Grandia
08 Dragon Quest
09 Persona
10 Disgaea
11 Breath of Fire

and many more

I love all of them .

For me its a tie between FF and FE .

The list includes games with sequels . Stand alone like Phantom Brave will not be added .

Why is Suikoden not on this list?

Suikoden 2 is best turn-based RPG ever.

Out of these; Final Fantasy. Even though they drifted away from the turn-based action when implementing ATB and later on changed the series to a new direction.
Dragon quest is not on the list, but they are pretty fun too.

Suikoden is the best hands down, although Grandia was a pretty good game too.

As a game mechanic I felt a pure team turn based battle is lacking, there's little room for improvisation or surprise. The individual turn battle style on the other hand felt more challenging as each character carry their own combat pace / speed where the order of action could be critical to the result.

In the latter category, my favorites would be FF Tactics. Beside Ramza Squire class, I find Ninja as base class is exceptionally strong with the proper skill set.

I want breath of fire here, its the game that got me playing rpgs. As for the best, it has to be final fantasy if you consider th plot, characters,music, that sort of stuff. Its another debate as to which FF is the best.
Also, no chrono trigger? If it does count, its easily among the best games ive evr played, let alone rpgs. Secret of mana is a surprising omission as well.

It's weird to have classical RPG mixed with Tactical RGPs, it's such different experiences.
Can't compare stuff like Vandal Hearts, Tactics Ogre, Bahamut Lagoon, FFT to regular FF/DQ/BoF/Suikoden imho.

Turn based ???

Yup its not like FF or FE but its turn based .

All of these series in a few words:

Dragon Quest - Man is this easy. The dialogues are cute.
Suikoden - Let's collect Pokemo-, I mean team members for the RPG and TRPG fights.
Fire Emblem - Fuck, they died. Now I gotta do the next missions with one person less.
Final Fantasy - These characters are hot. Juicy battles but quite some grind.
Tales of - I would be using skill A if I didn't need to be using skill B in order to learn a new skill. (technically Tales of is not turn-based either)
Grandia - Movement and positioning matter and blocking is actually of some use in a RPG? Wow
Nippon Ichi games(e.g. Disgaea) - Only a little more. Just another 1800 levels then I'll be satisfied.
Breath of Fire - Switching between the protagonist and the antagonist gives so much perspective.
Shin Megami Tensei(e.g. Persona) - Holding conversations to capture monsters. Digivolution system.

I like all of the series but they each respectively get repetitive quite fast.
There are so many fun single games that aren't part of a (long) series (like Star Ocean, Chrono etc.) as well.

My personal favorites are:
1. Vampires Dawn series (used to be an exclusively German, free series. Vampires Dawn I was fan translated into English tho: http://rpgmaker.net/games/4626/downloads/
and the 3rd installment (in development atm) is supposed to be released in English)
2. Pokemon series
3. Generation of Chaos series


Thanks !

I am playing AE Generation of Chaos . Few days ago I reached the surface world 2nd chapter . Still a long way to finish the game .

Out of those listen,Persona series is my most favourite.

Though I have not played most of that stuff.

But if semi-turnbased count,then Planescape:Torment and Baldur's Gate II.

I'd say it's a tie between Fire Emblem and the SMT/Persona series for me.

Also, I hate to be nit picky, but this should probably be in the games section.

Lol putting Growlanser, I though I'm the only one who play the game (exaggerating people). Anyway, Pokemon, FF and Valkiria was okay but persona hooked me the most. Need to continue Kiseki Series someday.

Persona is number one for me as I love the charaters and themes plus the game play is good and the stories are intersting.I also like Pokemon still , I might start playing the Tales games, and I played Dragon Quest Inquistion a while back and I enjoyed it.

Hard question to answer

Final Fantasy has phenomenal games but also had some not so great ones so I would say they have the MOST good turn based RPG's

Disgaea is a strategy RPG series which I've only played one but am enjoying the hell out of it and if all the games are this good it certainly deserves it's nomination.

Persona 4 Golden got me in to Persona and I'm about to go play 3. After doing some research a while back on the series, I found it seems to be overwhelmingly loved so because of this I would say this is the MOST CONSISTENTLY good RPG series.

-make a thread about turn based rpg.
-Don't even mention Arcanum. And don't put a possibility to vote "other" either.

It's Arcanum, eh. One of the best RPG we ever had to play~

Also, what about Fallout series. Or chrono trigger. And Xenogears.

edit :
The list includes games with sequels . Stand alone like Phantom Brave will not be added .

I don't get why the discrimination since you're excluding some of the best things around, and why just because it's not the same name for the sequel in chrono trigger's case it's not good, but anyway, fallout series is still a turn based RPG and is a series as well. Also Xenogears is techniclaly part of the "xeno" series.
