Characters, quests and progression: the RPG is the genre of epic and immersion, from JRPG to Western RPG. RomWize re-ranks the best games in the genre by its re-evaluated scores, each with its current score, its versions, their rarity and their collector value.
"An absolute masterpiece, the first fully 3D Final Fantasy on a Sony console. The CTB combat system, the moving story of Tidus and Yuna, and the art direction of Spira compose a transcendent experience. One of the greatest achievements in role-playing game history."
"Absolute masterpiece. RPG that transcends the genre with an exceptional universe, a unique dynamic combat system and music of rare beauty. Saturn exclusive that has become legendary. One of the greatest RPG experiences of all time."
"A modern tribute to 16-bit-era JRPGs that outgrows mere pastiche: luminous pixel art, smooth traversal with no random encounters and timing-based combat with bite. The story takes its time, but the generosity of the whole wins out."
"Enriched Japanese version of FFX with the bonus Dark Aeons, Penance, Expert and Black Sphere Grids and additional scenes. The most complete JRPG experience on PS2 with content for hundreds of hours. The definitive version for fans wanting to exhaust the title."
"Final Fantasy VII is one of the most important video games ever created. Revolutionary 3D transition, epic scenario with Cloud and Sephiroth, legendary Nobuo Uematsu soundtrack and stunning FMV sequences. An absolute masterpiece that defined an entire generation and remains unsurpassed."
"Vagrant Story is an absolute Square and Yasumi Matsuno masterpiece. Ashley Riot in the catacombs of Leá Monde in an action dungeon RPG adventure with an extraordinarily deep weapon customization system. Masterful political narrative, breathtaking PS1 visuals. An unsurpassable creative pinnacle of video gaming."
"Mass Effect 3 concludes the epic trilogy with the final war against the Reapers. Refined gameplay, culminating emotional moments, controversial ending. The trilogy as a whole remains a sci-fi RPG peak."
"Origins is one of the finest modern Western RPGs, with its origin prologues, political dilemmas and mature writing echoing Baldur's Gate. The tactical system breathes and the cast earns a top spot in BioWare's pantheon."
"BioWare invent the modern space opera with a charismatic Shepard and an unforgettable trio of squadmates. Wheel dialogue, open galaxy and still rough combat lay the groundwork for a trilogy that will leave a lasting mark on modern Western RPG."
