...

I will have to disagree with FF IX being so low, that game is top 10 for me.

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

Given some of the games that low on the list, I'm guessing the top 20 is going to be entirely Western RPGs, along with Final Fantasy VII.

Which, given the source, is to be expected.

 

[Zaventem]

92 - Diablo III
91 - Fable II
90 - Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4

The fuck.Quick edit to say 92 and 91 don't even deserve to be on the list.

 

[Derrick01]

I was expecting this list to be awful because western media doesn't know RPGs for shit and what do you know....New Vegas all the way down at 89.

 

[Toth]

Diablo 3 over any FF? I'm done.

 

[ultron87]

Persona 4 at 90?

Nope.

 

[Jarmel]

Final Fantasy VII will be number one and GAF will be on suicide watch.

 

[Eric Hall]

Vagrant Story should be higher, but oh well

 

[Anteater]

FF7 is going to be #1 isn't it

 

[iNvid02]

 

[BadWolf]

Vagrant Story, FF8 and Shadow Hearts Covenant all above 90?

Yeah, no thanks.

 

[Supermanisdead]

Persona 4 at 90. Wtf. You'd be hard pressed to find 89 games in total that are better than it, let alone RPGs. Confirmed worst list ever.

 

[Interfectum]

98 - Shadow Hearts: Covenant
89 - Fallout: New Vegas

Both of these are way too low and Diablo 3 doesn't even deserve to be on this list.

 

[StuBurns]

Well I can firmly say Shadow Hearts: Covenant and Persona 4 have already been robbed.

 

[Vossler]

Lulz d3 AND FABLE 2 ahead of Vagrant Story....

 

[Z3M0G]

97 - Final Fantasy VIII

Oh come on...

 

[Dreams-Visions]

Diablo 3 over any FF? I'm done.

real talk.

 

[Almighty]

Normally I ignore these lists, but seeing Fallout NV ranked 89th is blasphemy.

In my rage over FNV I also missed that they ranked Breath of Fire III, Final Fantasy IX, and Persona 4 way too low as well.

 

[demosthenes]

LOL.

Can't wait to see all the rage this causes.

My own rage: Persona 4...really? How the hell is that not top 10, or at least top 20, ugh. I disliked FFVIII and it's still miles better than Diablo 3 was @ launch.

 

[Overdoziz]

Skyrim will be at #1.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

97 - Final Fantasy VIII

Oh come on...

Haha, what a joke. VIII is better than VII.

 

[HamPster PamPster]

98 - Shadow Hearts: Covenant
97 - Final Fantasy VIII

I got that far before I gave up

Man we need a new Shadow Hearts

 

[KalBalboa]

Given some of the games that low on the list, I'm guessing the top 20 is going to be entirely Western RPGs, along with Final Fantasy VII.

Which, given the source, is to be expected.

There are some Western RPGS on that list already. A Fable, a Diablo, and a Fallout in the bottom 20.

Haha, what a joke. VIII is better than VII.

I'd have put it higher, but I admittedly know jack about RPGs.

 

[Htown]

Persona 4 below Kingdom Hearts.

Okay, guys.

 

[EmCeeGramr]

what the fuck are new vegas and p4 doing only right above hackwork like fable 2 and diablo 3

 

[Bisnic]

This thread is sooo predictable.

In other words, no one will agree with IGN.

 

[SolidSnakex]

FF7 is going to be #1 isn't it

Skyrim or ME2/3 are much more likely than any FF.

hmm

 

[Jarmel]

Oh and you know that Mass Effect 3, Skyrim, Oblivion, and FF XIII will be higher.

 

[Sentenza]

If Final Fantasy VII ends in the top ten I'm going to scream.

 

[thekonamicode]

Final Fantasy VIII at 97 and Persona 4 at 90 and Diablo 3 placing on this list?

 

[Kill Your Masters]

Mass Effect 3 #1 for Chobot

 

[Phonomezer]

96 - Phantasy Star

Really? Genre-defining game that set standards this low?

 

[maquiladora]

89 - Fallout: New Vegas

That is unbelievably low, I mean, come on.

 

[Dennis]

MONUMENTAL fail list detected and we are only at 100-81........

Phantasy Star will forever belong in the Top 10 of any RPG list.

 

[djplaeskool]

Just based on 100 - 90, I'm done with this list.

 

[Hot Coldman]

1. Chrono Trigger
2-100. who gives a shit

 

[RPG]

I'm racking my brain trying to think of 100 'RPG's, but seeing some of those listed that high? Man...

1. Chrono Trigger
2-100. who gives a shit

Hah! Cleaning up after choking on my water.

 

[ThatStupidLion]

already the biggest POS list.

... but i'll still read the rest of the 100.

 

[Anth0ny]

as long as pokemon red is #1 we good

 

[DarkAegis]

Vagrant Story? 94? lol yeah sure IGN! looool!!

 

[zerokoolpsx]

Diablo 3 over Vagrant Story? Diablo 3 magically appeared on this list.
Lunar: Eternal Blue at 99?
Persona 4 really at 90?
Lufia II: Rise of the Sinistrals at 87?
Looks like IGN is fishing for hits. That list is pretty outrageous. The comments on the page lol.

 

[Derrick01]

This thread is sooo predictable.

In other words, no one will agree with IGN.

It was bound to happen as soon as they made an article with RPG in it. These people wouldn't know a good RPG if Chris Avellone himself slapped all of his knowledge into them.

 

[trh]

Prediction: in 4-7 years Diablo 3 will be at about the same place as Diablo 2 in these lists.

 

[Ragus]

1. Chrono Trigger

 

[Supermanisdead]

If P4 can only get to 90, there's little hope for the other 3 Persona games ((

 

[kayos90]

This thread is going to be amazing. I can just see it now.

 

[rainking187]

Persona 4 at 90 LOL WUT

 

[Sn4ke_911]

Lufia II should be Nr 1.

 

[Zaventem]

already the biggest POS list.

... but i'll still read the rest of the 100.

Me too, i like to see gaming communities flip the fuck out.
