The RPG Thread -> 2023 was a banner year for RPGs. What was your favorite?

Anyone play Wasteland 3? I have been contemplating grabbing it, but I am not really a fan of X-Com. It seems to be in that general wheelhouse.

I played the opening mission. As much as I love XCOM, this isn’t it. It’s for the hardcore. I couldn’t really grasp the systems but it’s possible I was being impatient.

Chrono Cross' OST is goated. Only negative is its terrible battle theme

Well no such luck getting a reveal.

Tales of Arise did however win the role playing game award!

 

[Ricky D]

Yea it was dope to see Tales win. I feel like Arise may be the series’ P4G or Persona 5 breaking through moment.

I have never successfully gotten into a Tales game. Which one y’all recommend?

Symphonia, Berseria, Tales of Destiny and Eternia, and I heard Vesperia is good too but I haven't played that yet.

Avoid Zestiria at all costs, unless you enjoy trash.

Not gonna lie.
Super Mario RPG was cool

Not even debatable. That game is a classic and still the best Mario RPG!

Word. I'm glad.
I personally don't hear it talked about much so I assume it wasn't rated.

Still haven’t played it. Really need to change that. Since I haven’t played it Paper Mario: Thousand Year Door is my favorite Mario RPG

It needs to come to nso on switch

 

[stay lurkin]

Copped Octopath on Switch.

Very good so far. I like the mix of old & new and the soundtrack is pure fire. It also ain’t easy so I appreciate the fact that I have to think/strategize

2sappy noted that SE is having a Steam Sale for many of their other games, basically, "Please play something else!"

 

[Ricky D]

I’m glad I already own FF14. I have a sub that I plan to activate on Monday. I have to get through Stormblood and Shadowbringers before I go back to work in the New Year.

 

[KingParappa]

Good luck getting onto a server. The wait times have been crazy some days

I played the heck out of it in 2013. Its is absolutely crazy to think I met my wife and got married, bought 2 homes, and started a new career all while this game remains active and popular.
