    [PS3]RPG Suggestions

    I'm looking for an awesome RPG to play on the PS3. I've got games such as Heavy Rain, Fallout: New Vegas, Valkyria Chronicles, Final Fantasy XIII, but I'm having a hard time looking up another to play. I'm looking for an older game, as they are often times cheaper, but if a newer game is goddamn awesome, that would be the one I'd choose.

    Throw me a bone here, Gaming Discussion. I am bored.

    PS3 has no game, etc.

    Eternal Sonata.

    Honestly though, if you want good rpgs, go back to ps2/ps1/snes.

    Demon's Souls and Folklore come to mind if you're not looking for standard JRPGs (arguably, Demon's Souls is a WRPG). Maybe White Knight Chronicles if you don't want to wait for 2 (which includes the first game as a bonus). Nier has a following as well.

    What Isiolia said.

    Also, maybe Resonance of Fate. It's a JRPG with guns. Combat is turn-based, you can customize your guns, art is steampunkish, you get to dress up your chars etc etc.

    Get Tales of Vesperia Ps3 if you don't mind importing. Way better than the 360 version.

    Absolutely try 3D Dot Game Heroes, it's a damn fine game.

    There's a demo up on the PSN, you might try out Trinity: Souls of Zill O'll. I didn't think it was too bad.
    There's Also Hyperdimension Neptunia, and if you want reeeeeeeaaaaallllly classic gameplay, Wizardry: Labyrinth of Lost Souls (demo for that too).

    And then there's stuff like Ar Tonelico Qoga, Atelier Rorona, Cross Edge, Trinity Universe (nothing to do with the Souls game.)

    Lastly, there's Resonance of Fate and Last Rebellion.

    All these are judgement calls if you can handle a typical JRPG:
    Cross Edge
    Trinity Universe
    Ar tonelico Qoga: Knell of Ar Ciel
    Atelier games
    Resonance of Fate(multi)
    Eternal Sonata(multi)
    Hyperdimension Neptunia
    Record of Agarest War Zero
    Disgaea 3 & 4[Sept 6th NA]
    Trinity: Souls of Zill O’ll
    3D Dot Game Heroes

    One thing that bothered me about hyperdimension neptunia is the horrible voices and how horribly slow the game is (framerate, battle system). Does the game actually get better overtime? I'm thinking of gameflying it again if that's the case.

    I was interested in trying Hyperdimension Neptunia, to be honest, can anyone confirm the game's performance?

    Valkyria Chronicles. Get this.

    Demon's Souls is another good choice.

    Folklore is also fun, but I have yet to finish it.

    I already has Valkyria Chronicles. It is awesome.

    Derp, I can't read. The other 2 still stand.

    Fallout 3, if you liked New Vegas. It's much better. Dragon Age games are good too.

    I've been meaning to pick up a copy of Dragon Age: Origins for the PS3 for awhile now. I've got it on the PC, but my PC is deader than a door knob as far as gaming capability is concerned. Fallout 3 was also an awesome roller coaster ride of awesome too. Does Fallout 3 run better on the PS3 than New Vegas does?

    Demon's Souls is a very fun and challenging game if you get it, just don't be surprised if at times it makes you mad enough to put your foot through your TV! (It's not a forgiving game, but that is not at all a fault.)

    I'll give it a try. I'm a patient person or I would have gone raving mad with trying to beat an AI controlled Sagat in SF4's Arcade Mode. Tiger Shot, Tiger Shot, Tiger Uppercut, FFFFFF-

    From what I've seen, the classic JRPG is almost dead on consoles, but alive and kicking on handhelds. This saddens me greatly as I don't really like handhelds

    derp for whatever reason you didn't specify JRPG in the OP like I thought you did, so possibly ignore me.

    Seriously? Well, fuck. That saddens me. I worry that Skyrim will suffer the same problems as it is also open world.

    Star Ocean isn't too bad if you enjoy real-time battle RPGs or played the previous titles.

    I actually haven't played the previous titles. Can I jump into the PS3 game without wondering wtf the story is?
