*note: Z.H.P. was taken out of this category. It should have been in the Strategy category, which is already over. It was nominated before the category existed so it's quite the predicament.*

You know, ZHP is still an RPG game...It is as much a strategy as it is an RPG.
Oh well.

Ooooo! I love Strange Journey! Although, I haven't really played any other games on this list except for SoulSilver...

It's cool, Strange Journey was better, clearly!
It has more votes!

Eternal Sonata. It's an amazing game, and outside of it's linearity, the best recent RPG in my opinion.

We have a very close tie this time! Strange Journey and Eternal Sonata are tied. One more vote could decide the victor!

Was posting in this topic before, but had to leave. ):

I say Eternal Sonata! As Polantaris said, it is an incredible RPG. The battle system is extremely fun to use, especially as your Party Level goes up and then things get really crazy.

Also, just commenting on FFXIII; I loved the battle system. I think Auto-battle killed it for some people and I know that it didn't require a lot of thought, but I enjoyed using Paradigms and just how fast-paced/good looking it was.

Mechanics aside, how is Sonata's story?
I personally consider Strange Journey's story amazing...

The story is very...interesting. Especially when you play the PS3 version (Cause it has some parts that make no sense on the 360 version), it really makes you think by the end.

At the surface the story is pretty generic, but behind the main story there's a back story going on the entire time that's very deep.

Really? Damn, I only have a 360 and I've been thinking of getting this at some point. :|
