Hey so I just got a PS3 for Christmas, and I was wondering what games I should get. I've never owned a Playstation (1,2,or 3), but I've played some of the Final Fantasy series on an emulator and enjoyed them. Does anyone have any suggestions for good RPG's on the PS3 or PS2?

Depends, do you like strategy (grid based), RPG titles too?

If so, get Disgaea 3. Story line, in this game (I loved the first Disgaea), I can do without, but it has a decent brand of humor to it. There's a lot of craziness going on in the game, with the 9999 level cap, geocubes, team attacks and all. If you've enjoyed games like Final Fantasy Tactics, or even Fire Emblem to an extent, you should like Disgaea.

I just got a PS3 myself, so I've only played a few games, but a must have is definitely Valkyria Chronicles. Seriously, the game is great, and you can get it new for $20.

Also, Final Fantasy XIII is due early next year. It looks amazing, of course.

Do you have a good computer? Most of the big recent western RPGs (Dragon Age:Origins, Fallout 3, etc.) are better played on PC, but there are some good console Japanese RPGs.

-Tales of Vesperia

A very fun game, I played it on the Xbox360, but apparently the PS3 version is adding a whole bunch of new stuff, I'm jealous.

-Valkyria Chronicles

Everyone I've talked to who has played it has loved it. The only complaint I've heard is that the story is cheesy...but hey, it's a Japanese RPG, the stories are always cheesy.

Some other titles I've heard good things about:
Demon Souls
Disgaea 3
Favorite progamers (in order): Flash, Stork, Violet, Sea. ||| Get better soon, Violet!

Fallout 3 and Oblivion have a ton of PC-only mods, I wouldn't get them for PS3 unless your computer is really bad.

Valkyria Chronicles definitely. Demon Souls if you enjoy somewhat challenging and unforgiving action-platformers.

On PS2 games, three games I would recommend are Tales of the Abyss, Suikoden V, and Star Ocean: Till the End of Time. SMT (Shin Megami Tensei) games are pretty good, but I find them rather grind-heavy. Didn't stop me from spending dozens of hours on Persona 4 though.

As others have cited, many well known PS3 games are better and can be modded on the PC. Excellent PS3 exclusives are limited.

I'm looking forward to playing Tales of Vesperia, but currently only a Japanese one is out for the PS3, and I'm not hardcore enough to pay for imports. FFXIII also looks very nice but the English one is due for March next year.

Why PS3? Just grab ZSNES and a Chrono Trigger ROM and play away!

I guess Fallout 3 is a must, but I don't know what it's like on PS3

Borderlands and fallout 3 weren't that great imo. FFXIII is coming in March i believe. FFX was badass! If anyone here likes rpg's and hasn't played Xenogears(PS1) then id recommend you go out and play it soon. But i don't think new PS3 can run PS1 or PS2 games... what a bummer huh...
Whatever happens, happens.

Persona 3 and 4 on ps2 are really great under appreciated rpgs that do a lot of things differently than standard rpgs.

Oh, I had totally missed the part about you getting a PS2 as well (unless you got one of the few BC PS3s), but yeah, if you have one too, get Persona 4 and 3 for sure. Play 3 first, because if you're like me, if you play 4 first, you'll find it a bit hard going back and playing 3. Get Disgaea 1, for cheaper than 3, and if you lose a ton of hours into it, pick up the other 2.

I don't have a PS3 (have Xbox360), but most of the current crop of RPGs have not been that good. The only real standout is Valkyria Chronicles.

PS2 is a whole different story, and it has a huge game library including many RPGs of course. Rather than just name games I'll describe some characteristics of each in case you have some preference as to the type of RPG you want to play.

Looking for:
  • Grandiose plot-based RPG with lots of story sequences: Xenosaga series
  • Dungeon crawler mixed with heavy dose of social interaction: Persona 3, 4
  • Colorful anime-styled fantasy action RPG: "Tales of" series (e.g. Tales of Vesperia, which is the most recent installment IIRC)
  • Challenging, deep action RPG with not many other good traits: Star Ocean 3
  • Fun action RPG with about 175 unique recruitable characters (all usable in battle): Radiata Stories
  • Well-rounded turn-based RPG with tactical battles and dungeon exploration, but not long: Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter
  • Hardcore turn-based action RPG with precise combo string timing: Valkyrie Profile 2: Silmeria

Fallout 3 was just a dull game. I couldn't play it if you payed me too.

Valkyria Chronicles and Demon Souls are the top ones right now from what I hear.

RPGs this gen have been sparse and few have been very impressive. It's been all about shooters and cover systems.

I'm playing through Dragon Age right now and it's alright.However, I find it hard to give a shit about any of the characters let a lone my own (considering all I am is just a puppet who says the lines the game presents me with).

Waiting on FFXIII, hoping to be blown away. I recommend The Witcher if you have a good PC though.
