Are RPG's getting worse every 5 years? (List your top 10 RPG's ever to help!)

Are we counting Final Fantasy Tactics as a RPG? It's more of a TBS in it's battle system?

It could easily be considered (confused with?) a strategy game.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

It's possible (though C&C and Starcraft are both RTS, while FFT is TBS). The fact that FFT has a fantasy story and RPG elements does not make it a RPG outright - just like how the movie Alien isn't a sci-fi movie outright - it could be considered horror)

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Final Fantasy Tactics
Xenogears
Final Fantasy 6
Chrono Trigger
Front Mission 3
Final Fantasy IX
SaGa Frontier 2
Ogre Tactics

Thats about all I can come up with. There are other RPGs I played - FF7, FF8, FFX, Vandal Hearts, Xenosaga - but either didn't like or can't remember much about them.

How ya doing, buddy?

Lets keep in mind that as games become more and more advanced and more people have access to better technology, the number of games pumped out will increase over time. Of course theres going to be unwanted market flood - theres less risk of an investment now than there was in 1985 when not everyone had a NES

I was speaking idiomatically.
