Hi

What your list of "RPGs you must play before you die"?

Thanks.

Rather interesting question.

Well, I would like to play all the Final Fantasy games from beginning to start in one point of my life.

The Xenogears(saga) RPGs and any or all other random RPGs that got good ratings that I never really checked out.

Also, I would like to play future sequels of Chrono Trigger(Cross) and also of Legend of Legaia.


But I plan to live forever, so this question is irrelevant :P

Right now I could only think of Xenogears, Xenosaga's and FFX, though there are prolly many more I'd like to play before I die...

From games that have yet to come out I'd like to play the future FF's, the future Chrono sequel (I know it will come someday  :( ), the future Xenosaga's... And prolly many more that I can't think of right now as well O_o

Final Fantasy 457,310,766,013,011,878,541,992.

(But seriously, my favs are Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy VI, Secret of Mana, Zelda: A Link to the Past, and Zelda: Ocarina of Time.)

If I had to name only one, I'd say Xenogears. That game is so unique and poetic, and its world is so vast and complex... so [anything] actually, that once you finish it, your mind is so "full" that you don't really want to restart and play the whole stuff again for quite a while (whether you loved or hated the game).

I don't understand the question...Is it RPGs we'd want to play again before we die? Or RPGs we're not finished with that we want to finish playing before we die? Or is it RPGs we haven't played at all that we want to play before we die? I mean, why would we "must" play an RPG we haven't played before, right? So it must be those other ones, but if we've already played it, then we can die, right? Did I just make this way too hard on myself or something?

Try putting emphasis on 'you'. "RPGs you must play"

I dunno, maybe that's what the TC was shooting for.

I should think Laggy was asking us for our respective "Best of RPG" lists.

No, he meant "Best of RPGs that we think are good but we don't know seeing we haven't played them but are planning to". In that case, Panzer Dragoon Saga.

Perhaps you're right. I can see it being taken that way, too.

Well obviously, it says "you must play before you die", so obviously you musn't of played them.

It's not that obvious. Laggy could also have been speaking of a general "you" in his list.
