guys.. don't you agree with me? i think the old RPG games in playstation 1 are much much much more better then the RPG games in playstation 2.

in common sense game makers should be advance to make better and better games but all what they are making now is getting worse and worse.

i'm not saying that all RPG games in playstation 2 is bad... it's just i feel like i'm not enjoying the new games as much as the old games

the old games has a deep story and nice atmosphere

i really miss the old days when i used to enojy RPG games in playstation 1

like Xenogear,,FF7,,breath of Fire 3,,,Suikoden 2,,Tales of desteny,,Final fantasy Tactics and a lots more

Hmmm... I'm of two minds on this.

Certainly, the old RPGs have better storylines... it's all they had going for them to really make them stand out.

But some of the newer RPGs are pretty ok... giving, far too many of them depend on uber-graphics and audio to make the sale, but if they can pull off a decent storyline -at least - then I'm pretty happy.

old-school RPG's like the ones that Niponichi makes is pretty good, especially Disgaea. But I have to agree.

I have FFX-2, right, but I'd rather play FFVII (yes I haven't beaten it yet!) than it. Why? Cuz the storyline is much more better!

However, I also find myself playing the more older RPG, like FFVI, FFV, and Chrono Trigger. These RPG's shaped what RPG is today (along with FFVII)

There's been a fairly consistent showing of good RPGs throughout gaming history, but I'd say they're backing off a bit, while action games are taking over...

You'd never be able to have a hack and slash game like Dynasty Warriors on NES, for example (I love DW, but I'm not going to delude myself into thinking it's got depth).

guys remember the RPG game in playstation 2 called:
"Arc the Lad: Twilight of the Spirits" it was a nice game right? a very amuzing game right?

then the company released another part of the series called
Arc the Lad: End of Darkness

here's a review of what someone wrote about it in gamefaqs.com

review title:No, this is the beginning of darkness... by:illogicaljoker

"If dumbing down and cross-breeding franchises to draw new audiences with shorter attention spans is the future of the RPG, I fear this is merely the beginning of darkness, and Arc The Lad: End of Darkness is one nail in the coffin.

I’ve been trying to think of something worthwhile to say about EoD, but aside from a confusing trial-and-error synthesis system and the resurrection of the tried-and-true job story tree, I come up at a loss for words. At least when Square made the “gaiden” (side-story) to FFX they put time and effort into it, streamlining the battle system and using a real mission mode that offered real variety and challenge. Namco is considerably less experienced, and their lack of finesse shows: EoD runs the exact same engine on pretty much the exact same maps (or variations thereof), uses the exact same characters and is generally – or generically and geriatric - boring to tears"

i hope now you got the picture of what i'm trying to say with posting this thread.

Note:when i read about that review i decided to not purchase
Arc the Lad: End of Darkness

I thought you were talking about the REALLY old RPGs, the ones for SNES, men I can't forget the time I played for the first time The Legend of Zelda, or Chrono Trigger.

Haven't played much RPGs lately, but I like the old RPGs much better. The games get so repetitive.

some of the old ones are a lot better, that's true, but a few of the new ones are not really that bad either

so many classics.

Suikoden, Breath of Fire, Fire Emblem, Final Fantasy 6,7,8, Tales of Series, Lufia, Sooooo many good games that most new games cannot even come close to. There are some, I admit, but not many.
