We had this thread a week ago.

I think we all agreed that this is the worst toplist so far from mainstream journalism, even worse than IGN lists.

Just because I'm playing as a character doesn't mean it's an RPG. Just because I'm playing as Mario doesn't mean it's a RPG.

This is far too low

>>376462286

> within the top 100

Out of all the shit in the top 20, this bothers me more.
Just because weapons have numbers and theres crafting doesn't make it an RPG. It's an action game that would have been better leaving all that shit behind.

>>376461845

Fuck IGN and their shitty list

Kind of makes me wonder how many rpgs the author actually played, because I would not consider fucking X-COM an RPG, also the Southpark game being here while many other great RPGs aren't is fucking ridiculous

fuck canons fuck people who try to create canons fuck fuck you

>>376464251
Yes you autist, and its on the list at 35.

IGN just came out with a list too within a week ago and it wasnt on it at all.

Bloodborne higher than Pokemon? Dark Souls higher than Earthbound?

Clearly a shit list by shit people who don't understand good RPGs.

>>376464650
For good reason.

It's one of the best soundtracks of all time but as a game it offered nothing new to RPGs.

Is that the one thing that tipped you off it was a shit list?

>>FF7 is 18, the poor fanboys

FF7 isn't an RPG....

Game Informer

Kek

>>376464815
The battle system (for a turn based game), characters, and overall story are all top tier as well though. It doesnt have to be innovative to be good.

And even then, it at least was the first FF to not be super blurry and polygonal outside of cutscenes.

Im not arguing that it should be higher, even though I feel it should be, but that not even including it in the top 100 at all is absolutely retarded

>>376461337
Nice get.
Also, Morrowind fucking 21? Hell I should be surprised it made the cut

So apparently, according to Game Informer, being able to upgrade a single stat (whether by level progression or by using some sort of skill point) is all that it takes to be an RPG.

>>376461845
>xcom
Its a good game but it has no fucking place on that list, what pea-brained shithead made this list?

How is xcom not a strategy rpg in the same vein as any ff tactics game? Units with stats, damage rolls for accuracy, weapons and equipment that boost stats, damage, and rolls.

I have more of a problem with zeldas being called rpgs.

The battle system is unexceptional aside from how turns were lined up.
Characters and story are OK, decent and definitely bordering nonsensical.
>at least was the first FF to not be super blurry and polygonal outside of cutscenes.
This isn't 100 best FF games, it's 100 best RPGs.

>>376466245
>This isn't 100 best FF games, it's 100 best RPGs
I only added that because you complained about lack of innovation.

I really doubt every game on either list did something new and unqiue for the genre as a whole

>>376466971
Game Informer's list is terrible so you'd have a point.
On IGN's idk there's probably something legitimately uniquely impressive about each game, unlike FFX.

>>376467076
Nope

Those games are better though.
