Help with Finding an RPG, Please?

[Therumancer]

EDIT: I forgot to add the PS1 classics I've already played. Sorry about that. I'll add them to the list.

I play on a PS3. It doesn't really have to be a specific type of RPG, as I can get in to any kind (JRPG's, western RPG's, turn-based, real-time, strategic, etc.). I like big worlds, but they don't count for much with me if the combat isn't engaging, with some nice enemy variety (that's the main reason I got bored with Skyrim rather quickly). As for what the world looks like, I enjoy lush, green, even somewhat Tolkien-esque scenery, but I'll accept any kind if the gameplay and/or story make up for it. I like in-depth character creation, but it's not a necessity. This is going to seem pretty vague, but I really like a game that gives a sense of adventure. I really can't think of a more specific way to describe it, and for that I apologize.

Here's a list of ones I've already played (The ones I particularly liked will be bolded, if that makes it easier to pick recommendations).

Dark Souls / Demon's Souls
Skyrim
Oblivion
Fallout 3 / New Vegas
Final Fantasy 13
Deus Ex: Human Revolution
Disgaea 4
Dragon Age: Origins (Probably my favorite on this list)
Dragon Age 2
Mass Effect 2 / 3 (I have no interest in playing ME1)
Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch
Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning
Folklore
Crono Trigger
Final Fantasy 9
FInal Fantasy 7
Final Fantasy 8
Xenogears

I also have a few specific games I'd like feedback on, but feel free to recommend ANY RPG.

Dragon's Dogma
Eternal Sonata
Star Ocean: The Last Hope

I'm sure I probably didn't give very good information to go off of for a recommendation; I'm not really that great at articulating the nuances of a game that I like, I guess. Any recommendations will be appreciated. Also, if you're curious about any of the games that I said I already played, feel free to ask me.

You'd probably find a lot to like in "Neverwinter Nights 2" going by your list. The "Mask Of The Betrayer" expansion is paticularly good, far better than the basic game, though you do need to beat the main storyline first to really "get" the sequel.

While definatly showing their age I also recommend "Arcanum" and "Planescape: Torment" to any RPG fans who haven't played them. I'm also a huge fan of "Wizardry 8" though that kind of "true RPG" isn't what most people wind up thinking of when they ask for RPG suggestions nowadays.

"The Witcher" is also quite interesting, but even among RPG fans it's one of those love/hate things. A lot of people who like RPGs don't like that one for some reasons, while many others consider the series one of the best of all time. I'm fairly in the middle with my reception which seems to be unusual.

That said I expect this year to be a sort of resurgence for the RPG genere as a bunch of kickstarter RPGs are all slated to be done in the middle/end of this year. Shadowrun Returns, Wasteland 2, Grimoire (Wizardry type game), and if I read it correctly Tides Of Numinerra (which is odd, but they do say December 2013) should all be out, as should "Dead State" a zombie survival RPG. If nothing tickles your fancy at the moment, I suspect there will be a few games out by the end of the year.

Vagrant Story also try Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King if you can find a PS2 disc

I see you haven't played the Witcher series. I shall recommend the Witcher 2 to you in that case. Gorgeous game with great story, dialogue and choices that matter.

Ohh my god, how the hell could I not reccomend the game that I am currently playing and going apeshit crazy over?!! Such a fool am I!!

Tales of Maj'Eyal
Ok, its a roguelike game with permadeath and it is really, really hard sometimes. The combat is tactical, with a pretty sweet character creator(mind you, this is only skills and stats that it has.) Also every single area that you enter is randomly generated. So you have a different layout each time you enter the same dungeon. Also the game is really hard. Expect to die for the first time under level 10(if not, congratulation. You just proved me wrong by being good at tactical games, well done! But seariously, you are going to die under lvl 20). Also Permadeath, so yeah....get ready to rage at yourself for doing a wrong move.

Also! Did I mention that this game is free?


Captcha: boomerang. Damn right captcha, I just returned to this thread to recommended another game.

If you liked the others I think it's worth looking into.

Haven't started it very long ago, but I'll second the recommendation. The prologue alone is lovely.

Star Ocean: The Last Hope is a homeless man's version of the Tales series. If you have a PS3, get Tales of Graces F instead. It has the funnest battle system I've ever played, and while the characters do veer a tad too close to anime stereotypes, they're still miles better than Star Ocean's. The voice acting in Star Ocean is soul-shakingly terrible. There's one character who's supposed to be a cute little girl or something, but the voice actor makes it seem like the girl is either undead or possessed or narcoleptic. It's legimately unsettling.
