Indeed. I'm not sure what else I'd list. Ys games obviously. Would have to think about it.

[Echiboo]

Personally, I don't consider games like the Tales series, Star Ocean series, etc to be "action" RPGs. It's fine if others do, but I just consider those "real-time" RPGs since, besides attacking enemies, you don't really have much freedom to dodge, jump, or do "action-y" things. Just thought I'd specify that before presenting my list. =P

1) Tales of Vesperia
2) Star Ocean: The Last Hope - International-
3) Infinite Undiscovery
4) Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World
5) Phantasy Star Portable
6) Eternal Sonata
7) Magna Carta 2
8) Ar tonelico Qoga: Knell of Ar Ciel
9) Ys Seven
10) Star Ocean: First Departure
11) Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII
12) Fragile Dreams: Farewell Ruins of the Moon
13) Ys: The Oath in Felghana
14) Mimana Iyar Chronicle
15) Ys II
16) Ys I

Edit: I changed my mind and decided to include games such as Star Ocean and Tales...I mean, they obviously aren't turn based or SRPGs, so I just decided to stick them in this list...

[Lumina]

Oh wow, someone else who loves Infinite Undiscovery, I think my bro-love for you just grew Echi. *fist-bump*

That game is criminally underrated imo.

Side note: were you upset when Capell went back to his lame voice for attacks too? I liked his pissed off "I'm gonna kill you!" attack voice.

[stealth20k]

yeah xenoblade slipped my mind. Make that number 1 and move everything down

[Echiboo]

My biggest complaint with Infinite Undiscovery was the lack of character development for a majority of the characters. Some of them had fine amounts, such as Capell, but most had practically none...Besides that, though, I really enjoyed the game. :)

[Dusty Starr]

Ys II :3 I really want to play Rocket Slime though...

[Echiboo]

Oh, and to answer your question, Lumina, I like Capell's original voice more, actually...I did like when he got all "ROOOOAR!", though, because of the stuff that had just happened, but I like Capell as a nice guy more than an aggressive one. :3

[Lumina]

Yea his personality is better when he's not all rawr, I just liked his attack calls more when he was all grrr lol

[AweOfShe]

All Ys PSP games
Muramasa: The Demon Blade
Gurumin
All Castlevania DS games
Magna Carta 2

I would love to jump on the Infinite Undiscovery love, but the NA ver doesn't run on JP360s, and I cannot find an Asia version of it anywhere. Might be just stuck playing it in Japanese, once I get around to picking it up.

[Lumina]

Ah Gurumin, The often overlooked Falcom game. Good pick, Parin is so cute lol

[AweOfShe]

I absolutely LOVE Parin, haha <3

[fedaykin]

Demons' Souls should surely be on the list. Superb gameplay (i.e. hit detection, fairness of dodging etc.), memorable bosses, level designers who assume the player is actually competent, fun if a bit limited multiplayer and a rather compelling gothic atmosphere. On the RPG side, magic, melee, range and holy builds are all perfectly viable, although there are some balance issues.

[Gintoki]

Aside from Star Ocean The Last Hope and Tales of Vesperia, I'm not sure. Do Ar Tonelico Qoga and Eternal Sonata count? What about Dissidia?

[stealth20k]

dissidia is more fighting game
