Looking for a good RPG for the Dreamcast.

Post#1 » Sat Sep 09, 2017 6:50 pm

One of my favorite games for the X-Box is Fable, and I have been on a bit of an RPG kick as of late, enjoying Dragon Age: Origins and Fallout 3/New Vegas. I have also enjoyed Knights of the Old Repiblic 1 and 2, Jade Empire, and Elder Scrolls Oblivion (where I got done about 2-3 gates and just did side quests particularly the Dark Brotherhood quest where you have to assassinate everyone at a party).

I an looking for any RPGs you folks can suggest to me do play. The one issue is I really do not like turn based RPGs that much. About the only one I have been able to enjoy is Pokemon. I currently have Evolution and Blue Stinger, but have not played them much.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

there is one rpg on dreamcast, that I consider among the 3 best rpg's ever made and top ten best games ever made: skies of arcadia!

I wrote a review to express my grattitude: https://www.gamefaqs.com/dreamcast/1972 ... ews/163129

also if you are into pc style old school action rpg's then I really recommend record of lodoss war. it will take a lot of your time though.

As gjb1985 pointed out, Skies of Arcadia is truly an amazing RPG, you definitely need to check it out.
Other great and highly recommended DC RPGs include Grandia II, Phantasy Star Online (you can even play that one online with us via the DreamPi), Record Of Lodoss War and Elemental Gimmick Gear. Evolution, Evolution 2, Silver and Time Stalkers aren't as awesome as the others mentioned, but they're still good games in my opinion, so you might give'em a chance.

If you're not afraid of the language barrier, you also might want to check some Japanese goodies on DC, including El Dorado Gate, Sakura Wars, Black/Matrix AD, Rune Jade, Segagaga or Rent-a-Hero No.1.

There's also a number of games that have RPG elements, like Draconus, Soul Fighter or Lack of Love... kinda.
