I.W.W. ATTITUDE posted:I really want to play an RPG (preferably jRPG) with a setting outside of the standard fantasy fare. Can anyone recommend some? I've already played all the FF's, Xenogears, Xenosaga 1, Shin Megami Tensei 2, Persona 2&3, Grandia, Front Mission 3, Snatcher (not really an RPG), KotOR 1&2, Fallout 2&3, Lost Odyssey, Deus Ex, Septerra Core, SaGa Frontier, Chrono Trigger, Phantasy Star 2, and Star Ocean 2%3. This is a good question. I'm going to tell you right now, I have never played any of the 'Tales of' series. But they're generally considered great RPG's by the goons here and I think most of them have a non-medieval setting in the typical sense. Though this might be a bit of a stretch. And do try the Suikoden series even though it's set in a medieval setting. 1 is loaded with typical fantasy elements, however I think in 2 they drop most of that.

I'm looking for an RPG that has a setting kind of like GRRM's ASoIF. By this I mean: magic still exists but it's limited i.e. no magic missile every two seconds, political intrigue (backstabbing courts are fun!), it has mostly not annoying characters, human-dominated world, grey morality, and zombies would be a cool. I can think of a few examples that have been pretty close: Final Fantasy Tactics, Dragonage: Origins, Mount and Blade. Does Thief: The Dark Project count as an RPG? Probably not, but I'll put it up here anyway. None of the above games match exactly what I describe, but they come pretty drat close. I realize this is a stupidly tall order, so if nothing comes to mind, recommend me an RPG with an awesome mage or wizard character you can get in the party. Examples of this: Chrono Trigger has Magus and in FFI the Black Mage looks badass  edit: VVVVV That sounds promising, I'll take a look at it.

Lets gently caress Bro posted:You are looking for exactly The Witcher And to think I was actually this close to getting The Witcher anyway. How is combat in The Witcher? I looked up a few videos and it looked pretty fun and engaging, but some people in this thread have complained about it.
