I second this! Although I don't feel it was 'underrated' as much as 'underplayed'. Definitely a top notch RPG.

May not be underrated, but I'll plug the Paper Mario and Mario & Luigi series whenever I can. Go play those games!

The most underrated when compared to the overall quality?

The Way - saga, of course. No one has ever heard of it but the storyline is the best out of like every game in existence.

EDIT: http://www.crestfallen.us/download.html it's here.

And I take pride in being the first one with an actually underrated rpg!

I would say Final Fantasy 13 is pretty underrated.

It got alot of because it was different from the old Final Fantasys, but it is a good game, fun gameplay and a very interesting and addictive story.

I'll definitely second the mentioning of Alundra and Legend of Legaia

Perhaps it was because I was so young but I loved Guardian's Crusade as well
I also enjoyed Evolution: The World of Sacred Device

Breath of Fire on the SNES, it just got overshadowed by the great RPG titles on that platform.

If this counts as underrated then i completely agree. Just replayed and beat it 2 days ago

Ness is such a beast. Except I renamed him Flash and his favorite food was Pocari Sweat.

NoX definatly, came out in 2000 together with Baldurs Gate II and Diablo II. Overlooked, but equally awesome!

no

saga frontier 1 and 2, breath of fire 3 and 4 heavily underrated

edit: also odin sphere

I wholeheartedly agree with Saga Frontier 1 being massively underrated (read somewhere that it was made in a month O_o) but 2... :r .

What made the first one great was the long and numerous side-quests, characters, weapons, skills, and secrets. # 2 is too linear and you never really build up your characters before you move on to the next group.

Damn this thread... need to go back and play so many games. I wholeheartedly agree with Earthbound if that counts as 'underrated'. Also there's an extremely well done Mother 3 English Patch that's been out for a while. While Mother 3 (Earthbound 2) was never 'underrated'... it's an RPG that cannot be passed up.

You can get the original Mother as well online. It is a pretty good game, and lots of good music

Nox and legend of dragoon are awful, awful games. Tried to lan nox but after a few hours we all agreed nox was trash. I couldn't get far into legend of dragoon, the combat was just too shitty.

Oh wow, I still have legend of dragoon sitting on top of an old monitor next to me, I should return this game to my friend, i've had it for at least 5 years, lol.

Hmmm, trying to think underrated... ultima underworld? Not so much underrated as old and forgotten . This game had a "3d" first person perspective before doom 1 came out, combat, exploration and puzzles are top notch, still an incredible rpg if you can overlook the vintage graphics. The gameplay, atmosphere and open ended nature of uw makes modern rpgs like oblivion look like trash. The sequel isn't too shabby either.

Vampire the masquarade bloodlines

Planescape torment.

For jrpg

Persona 3&4

They are hardly underrated as they are considered among some of best rpg ever made, but very few people actually played them.
