An RPG came out in 1987 and was PHantasy Star. it also came out on the Sega master thingy.Hiphophippo said:
Just google search for it.
One can either virtual console it on the Wii, buy the Nes and search high and low for it, or Rom it for free illegally.
one thing that wikipedia is completely uninformed about, it says nothing of its existance. Gaming history 'tards.
Unless I've been living a lie, Phantasy Star was created by SEGA which would mean it never appeared on the nes.Plurralbles said:
Now the virtual console is a different beast altogether.
Star Ocean Till the end of time ( not turn based )
Star ocean Last hope ( also not turned based )
Magna Carta 2 ( not turn base either )
Wild Arms 1-5 ( pick one by random lol they all good)
Final fantasy 6 ( second best RPG of all time imo best is Lufia )
Persona 4 ( i personally dont like the persona series although i really tried to but its
too sim-like)

Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura [http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/arcanum_of_steamworks_and_magick_obscura]
One of the very few games to use Steam Punk, and its made by Tim Cain, Leonard Boyarsky & Jason Anderson of Black Isle/Troika Fame.
I would try and sell the game more, but if the names "Black Isle" or "Troika" do not get your blood pumping, then it wouldn't be worth my time.

Shadow of the Colossus is free-roam, lots of exploration, and "real time." It's a beautiful, haunting game. Vagrant Story is similar and has a very intriguing story.
Parasite Eve is a sci-fi horror RPG series you might like as well. Not terribly roamy, but the story's good and I enjoyed the combat. It's for the PS1, and has a sequel also for PS1.
The Mass Effect series and Dragon Age are also pretty gripping and are real time. Dragon Age is obviously the more traditional sort of RPG and has SCADS of side-quests, so it'll last you a good long time. It has a good story, too, and an expansion is coming out in March.
Despite your "not an FF kinda guy" thing, if you haven't checked these out, you might--they're pretty unique. Final Fantasy Tactics (the original one, and still the standout) is great for tactical (durrr) battles, has a tight story, has lots to do, but isn't "roamy" in the traditional sense. Final Fantasy 12 is a good "roamy" game and plays similarly to Dragon Age, with programmable allied AI, shit tons of sidequests, and beautiful environments. Loooots of roaming. And sky ships. Both games should give you some challenge.
Sadly, you nixed cel-shading and anime style graphics, so the Persona series won't be for you. The games have great stories, slick art, side quests, wonderful character development, and a pretty unique style of play. Plus grinding, which I'm given to understand that some folks really enjoy.

A disease by the name of Diablo 2 has consumed so much of my early years... and it's now time for me to spread this disease!@
You can try fallout 1 and 2 if you haven't already
and Morrowind or Oblivion if you haven't already
...
and also Fallout 3 if you must

DAO was great, but it was no Baldur's Gate, Fallout or Planescape: Torment.Xzi said:
Dismissing an RPG because it's turn based, is like passing on Half-Life because it doesn't have health regen. Ignorant and completely missing the fucking point.
I agree with all those saying Chrono Trigger, but my personal favorite is Shadow Hearts for the PS2. I've also enjoyed The Legend of Dragoon on the PS1.
