What are the best RPG's out there for all three systems? I'm looking to get a few great titles to add to my collection...

Is that .hack game any good for PS2? I noticed that 4 games have already been released...

GC I've already played through SOA:L...not sure what else there is.

XBox? I heard that Star Wars one was good but don't know much else.

KOTOR is certainly worthy of a purchase.

I played SOA on the dreamcast, and from what I remember it was good. I think thats all I can recommend for the xbox and GC.

The PS2 has a load of rpgs, Ive played alot but only finished a few, FFX, Suidoken 3, and and and well that might be it. Both of those were good.

Since I realize now Im of no help , Ill just tell you one to avoid like the plague;

Unlimited Saga(ps2), Its not even worth it for 5$ , I still feel anger and frustration towards this game.

*edit*

Yeah Tales will be out 7/13. Id save 50$ for it.

Summoner 2 PS2 / GameCube
SoAL GCN (Mentioning it AGAIN)
Wizardry - Tale of the Forsaken City PS2
Breath of Fire 5 Dragon Quarter PS2
Grandia II PS2
Grandia Xtreme PS2
King's Field PS2
 
GC has nothing else of note currently. Tales of Symphonia, Baten Kaitos and Paper Mario 2 are set for this year though.

PS2... I like Dragon Quarter, Wizardry and Disgaea. I'm looking forward to Star Ocean 3, Phantom Brave and Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne and Digital Devil Saga.

Xbox... KotOR is decent.

GC: Skies of Arcadia Legends -- best RPG ever.
Xbox: KOTOR
PS2: Disgaea with Dark Cloud 2 slightly trailing. I love FFX too.

I liked Harvest Moon for the GC. Great overall game.
SOA:L is the best so far, even if you've played the original DC version.

I'll just echo what everone else has said. KOTOR on Xbox, Disgaea on PS2, and most likely Paper Mario 2 when it comes out on Gamecube.

KOTOR, PSOep2, Sword of Mana. Only RPG's I've bothered to finish (and in PSO's case, again and again and again..) this gen.

ps2:

FFX
Xenosaga
Suikoden 3
Front Mission 4
Disgaea
La Pucelle


xbox:

None yet and the prognosis is not good...

gc:

No good ones yet unless you wanna count Skies of Arcadia. TOS and BK should hopefully change that though

dc:

Skies of Arcadia
Grandia 2


All IMO :)

PS2: Breath of Fire 5 of course.

Xbox: KOTOR was decent, but not as good as the reviews said. And that's really it.

GC: No good exclusives yet, but Tales of anything is basically guaranteed to be good.
