I hate handheld systems, but I like those type of games too. That's why I love my Gameboy Player.

Anyhow my top 10 rpgs, in no particular order(I don't feel like rating them against each other right now)

Dragon Force
Final Fantasy 4
Final Fantasy 6
Final Fantasy 7
Chrono Trigger
Dragon Warrior 4
Star Ocean 2
Valkyrie Profile
Breath of Fire 2
Disgaea

Now, I actually haven't played many PS2 RPGs. I actually have quite a few of them but I haven't gotten around to play them cause of MMORPGs. But I don't think it's really that RPGs are getting worse. It's because their are more rpgs being made so at the same time there are going to be more that suck. It's like this with any type of game that's popularity spawns similar games. I mean for example look at all the horrible GTA clones(I hate GTA anyhow but that's not the point).

Ever since Final Fantasy 7, RPGs have been getting more attention. So if people are trying to pump out more games just because RPGs have a wider fanbase now, of course we're gonna start getting alot of crap games. But there are still the gems out there worth playing amongst it all too.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
