If your favorite choice isnt up there just post what you think is the best answer then. The question is, What would an RPG HAVE to have for you to play it, what is most important in an RPG to you? Also in your post, say which one is best or which means the most to you please.

I voted for the strategy/tactics/decision making option but I like them all somewhat. I especially also like multiplayer and being able to make choices, though you also need a good game world for that. Hmm and I like to do my own thing there too, its a tough poll for me to answer. But I like option 4 and multiplayer the most.

That got me thinking for a moment!
I thought about all the kool RPGs I have played and what made the good ones good, and I have to go with the characters and storyline. Mostly because of "Pokémon", "The Legend Of Legaia", and "FFX". Those games all have great characters and storyline (as well as gameplay). For some reason I don't get hooked into most of the Final Fantasy games, but FFX and FFXI are my two favorites (I like FFIX too, but just the characters and storyline, I don't feel like playing FFIX though) So I guess it's all a mix... games that have a good combo.
Some people say Zelda isn't an RPG, but I like to think so. I like Zelda, Pokémon, FFX, FFXI, Legaia (1, not 2), ...oh and Super Mario RPG. Besides those I haven't really played many. Oh are D2 and Guild Wars considered RPGs? (Action-RPGs maybe) I spend most of my time with MMORPGs (as you can see by my sig) I like games that I can play with friends. (Which reminds me, I haven't been on SC:BW in a while. Sorry about that Kevin)

i love games that have multiple ending, like best weapons give one ending and unlocking people (resi evil) to get one of 4 endings!

i have played legend yet..i think that's what it's called ..but I LIke the idea. You get hurt and get a scar..it lasts with you the whole game..you get older..and what you eat and do determines what kind of build you have. This was a very hard decision for me lol hrmm..I picked story line and chars, because to me if you don't have a good story line and cool chars the game is gonna stink. Part of what gets me into a game is the story line..if i don't know what's goin on and stuff...i get confused and it gets boring. But i would do a combination to them all..because they are all needed for a good rpg..storyline and chars, decision makeing is a MUST! and strategy and i like my rpgs multiplayer..but single player compatible if no one else can play. People say morrowind would be the best game ever played if it was multi player. couple of my fav games zelda (which i think of rpg in a way) Legend of dragoon , legend of legaiya, Everquest, guildwars, Lots of other games i like but i'm tired and can't think right now. I love to play just about ANY multi player game with scott because he's my best friend and he just makes doing anything fun so..i like to play games with kevin too but havn't got to do it to much..when i get SC BW i'm sure we'll all play together also.

Yeah I agree that if you can't get a good story in the game and characters you enjoy interacting with or being, then you can't have fun in the game. The whole point of the RPG game is what you and the other characters do, so without characters and a story of what they do or did, the RPG is pointless. An RPG is great if you become so into it that you feel like you are connected to the character in the game. And if you can't connect then its like the game is all in a foreign language that you don't speak, and that's not really fun, just difficult and boring.

YEAH!!! you hit the nail on the head Kev!!!! Yeah i love it when i connect with the game so much i feel like i'm a part of it..I really did that with Legend of Dragoon and Legend of lagaiya.. You get angry when chars you like die or when a bad guy comes up and gets smart with you etc.It's great. I wish my life was a rpg ..sometimes i like to pretend the game is my real life and my real life...like..um isn't real? lol

imo "The Legend Of Legaia" is the best game ever made for the PS1! If anyone reading this hasn't played it yet, GO FIND IT NOW!!! You can't live your life without playing "The Legend Of Legaia"!!! However, "Legaia 2: Duel Saga" for PS2 wasn't as good.
anyways, yes I don't play games I can't connect to. I wish they would make "The Legend Of Legaia 3" for PS3 and make it more like part 1, but better quallity have make it an MMO. I know that "Pokémon Battle Revolution" for the Wii will be kinda like that. (not sure if it will be MMO, but I know it's online)

I wish they would mix some games together to make an awsome game. LIke maybe Legend of lagai with legend of dragoon with Zelda with Legend. Mix em together would be awsome! put some Final fantasy in there too! maybe some quild wars and everquest too ! lol..i know i'm gettin carried away but you get my basic idea right?

2 heads are better than 1, and I think it'd be awesome to have a mix of all the good games.
After all, look how Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2 did! Those were filled with disney and Squaresoft stuff!
