I don't really have a favorite rpg, but I would pick Dark Cloud that game is cool and the graphics are good, the characters are cool because they have their own abillity like Goro (one of the characters)
his weapons are hammers and axes, he is strong when you have his ultimate weapon and when his hp is up.
the battle mode is kinda like zalda, you lock on and and you fight.
the monsters look realy awsome, but sometimes they are a pain in the ass,the bosses are hard if you don't train your weapon.
the story line is good not the best it's like this a dark genie destroys villages and you have to rebuild them how? You get alta form the forests,castles,dungeons I have not told you everything about the game, but u can buy it it's really cheap, 29.99$
in canada, I dunno how much in the us.
