Basically i have been desperate for a great RPG for sometime. I love the genre and i love losing 40 hours of my life to what most people would call a waste lol
I am hoping some of you will be able to help me out with games i might have missed or i can expect to be coming out
I have a Wii and a Ps3 & PC
The RPG's i have played and loved the most are the following:
Final Fantasy 7,9,10,12 (8 was fun)
Suikoden 1 + 2 (4 was fairly good, 5 didnt cut it for me)
I have enchanted arms but i aint really getting into it.
Dragonquest 8 (ps2)
I am having a bit of a mental block at the Moment but those are some i have enjoyed / loved. I really like MMORPG aswell, Warcraft never appealed to me, just paying for it and i assume its way too indepth.
But if you have any suggestions i would be really thankful
Like i said, any games coming out would also be a big help
Thanks

Roughly 500,000 people play it. Doesn't sound like much compared to the millions that play WoW but half a million makes it the 3rd or 4th most popular mmorpg in existence. It also has a new expansion coming out on November 22nd so still going strong, probably another 5-7 years left minimum.
It's also multi-platform, you can play on PS2/3, XBox 360 or PC and everyone plays on the same servers.
I've been playing 4+ years now, if you think chewing up 40 hours in an RPG is a good thing then you'll probably love it, it's a veritable life-sapper. Alternativlely if you don't like being dependannt on other players to get 90% of the content done, get World of Warcraft which is a fantastic game all the way up into the 60s, mainly because you're not dependant on anyone to level up. If they brought it out on the 360 I'd still be playing it. (My last PC died and I'm tired of upgrading so stick to consoles).
Alternatively you can hold out for Square Enix's next mmorpg that's rumoured to be in development.
For offline RPGs I've played all of the ones on your list, but switched to the 360 last year. Blue Dragon comes highly recommended but I don't know if it'll arrive on your platforms, however, get Oblivion, you can easily chew up a couple of hundred hours in that one and it's gorgeous.
Kwada will tell you to get Disgaea for the PS2, also a life-sapper, and much more tactical than Enchanted Arms but less shiny in the graphics department.
Might be worth you picking up a 2nd hand XBox just to get your mitts on Fable which is still a good blast even in this next-gen era, and if you're really, really dedicated import a U.S. PS2 replete with network adaptor and hard drive and grab yourself a copy of EverQuest Online Adventures on the PS2. I think that's my favourite all-time mmorpg and I still think about importing just so I can play it again since they shut down the European servers.

Oh, and Dark Cloud and its sequel Dark Chronicles on the PS2, similar in style to Dragon Quest 8 (cel-shaded, run around killing stuff) but an awful lot of depth, including fish races, spheda (dungeon golf), weapon upgrading, synthesis, town building etc.
The dungeons get a lot of stick from gamers for their repetitiveness, but I didn't mind and spent a lot of time in them farming materials for upgrades, playing golf and fishing.
These were the first titles I'd ever played that were developed by Level-5, now I'm a huge fan of all Level-5's output and keep a close watch on all the stuff they've got in development.

Thanks for all your help, i had stumbled across dark Chronicles, i liked it but i have a bad habit of getting out of a game too quick because my wallet shouts, use me!
Speaking of crap games, I've been playing that Disgaea on psp recently. It's only redeeming factors are the penguins that plague the title. Penguins are sexy.
*yawnnnnnnn*
ahem, anyway Dark Chronicles is a good little game, one of the few action RPG's i've kept playing through til the end. Dark Cloud however i didn't like, dungeons were far too repetitive and the whole thing was just too bland.
Don't know when, or even if, it's coming out in Europe but look out for Soul Nomad and The World Eaters if it does make an appearance, a blend of Disgaea and Tactics Ogre, it's very good.

Oh, and grab a 360 just for Mass Effect which is...
