I LOVE the King's Field games. There's also a sequel on PS1, and a 3rd game on PS2.

Yeah, and a few that were Japanese exclusive.

I usually list that as my favorite game of all time. Although it kind of switches between that, Phantasy Star, Comix Zone, and StarCraft. But Shenmue was one of the most memorable games. It is the only time where I got so sucked into a game that it became an event. I remember completing it and just feeling overwhelmed and having a sense of melancholy.

Sadly, I've decided to make the Mega64 Ending canon in my personal version of Shenmue... I also think it's hilarious that Yu Suzuki actually says all that stuff.

lol ;D thats funny!! 

Shenmue is 100 percent a top 5 game of mine for all time but, the only thing i did not like about the game was that, I thought, maybe it should of had even more of a world to explore??  Like, the slots were fun, the different business you could go to, mini arcade and dart games, having a job was very well like real life!, but I thought it should of had more of a free world and more of a world to explore???  other than that, still 10/10 game

I'm going to take a stab at giving you a top 5 for the systems I'm more familiar with. A few of them might not technically qualify as a true RPG experience to some, but meh...should still be fun! Some of these would require purchasing repro carts/emulation (unless you can read Japanese). I wont list anything that's impossible to find. Also, if there are remakes, etc of any - I'll match the titles the appropriate system in order to achieve the best experience. You wont find any Zelda games in here, although you should play them if you haven't. Most of the games mentioned before my post are amazing - these are just a few that I've found break the mold a bit (in a good way) and/or come close to perfecting a RPG experience.

These aren't really in order :)

1. Sweet Home
2. Destiny of an Emperor
3. Crystalis
4. Dragon Warrior 3
5. Dragon Warrior 4

4. Secret of Evermore
5. Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars

3. Xenogears
4. Legend of Legaia
5. Parasite Eve

PS2
1. Final Fantasy XII
2. SMT: Nocturne
3. SMT: Digital Devil Saga
4. Shadow Hearts
5. SMT: Persona 4

PSP
1. SMT: Persona 3
2. Star Ocean: First Departure
3. Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together
4. Final Fantasy IV: The Complete Collection
5. Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions

Since I only did 5 per system, I will point out that some of these systems have so many awesome games that I had to make a few tough decisions. The PS1, PS2, PSP, and DS are extremely RPG heavy. The SNES is has a few others that are amazing as well, and shouldn't be overlooked.
