I'm in need of your help gaf
I'm new to xbox and i have no idea where to start, a good rpg is what i want right now

 

[Lasha]

Yakuza Like a Dragon is fun.

 

[Kuranghi]

*checks avatar text*

Dragon Quest XI has that almost certainly gay flamboyant man in it, I don't believe he has gay sex on screen though I'm afraid, sorry about that.

 

[Wohc]

Yakuza Like a Dragon is fun.

Yeah and with his tag he will definatley like some of the enemies.

 

[Cornbread78]

Dragon Quest XI right away
Final Fantasy XIII trilogy
Edge of Eternity for a little something different

 

[Mister Wolf]

You should've been played it.

 

[supernova8]

What about non Japanese RPGs?

 

[saintjules]

Western RPGs? Or JRPGs? Or Strategy RPGs? Or Action RPGs?

 

[lostinblue]

Isn't Lost Odyssey on their list?

EDIT: Not considered RPG's, but also check Arkane Software games. Dishonored and Prey. Their design ethos is giving player as much choice as possible in role play scenarios. They excel at it (but no level up, or turn based systems)

 

[Bartski]

Mass Effect is where it's at

 

[Soltype]

FFXII Zodiac Age should be on there if you like combat systems, Dragon Quest XI if you want a story driven game.

 

[Hendrick's]

Pillars of Eternity
Outerworlds
Wasteland 3
The Ascent

 

[Pagusas]

All the options in here are great ones OP, can't go wrong with any of them (well except the FFXIII trilogy recommendation, not sure what that user is smoking, but ignore them)

 

[Raven77]

Fable 3. You can get married, throw chickens, etc.

 

[synchronicity]

I'm playing Dragon Quest XI right now, and it's fantastic. It's my first DQ game despite having been interested in the series for years and having a bunch of them in my backlog. I don't know why I kept putting it off, but I'm glad I finally dove in. Such a fun (and gorgeous) game.

 

[vaibhavpisal]

Have you played Skyrim?

 

[reksveks]

Yakuza 7
DQ X!
Final Fantasy
Omori (not a JRPG but got those vibes)
Octopath Traveller
Scarlett Nexus

Those are the JRPG's before P5R comes to GP in a couple of months.

I misread the title but will add more RPG's later

 

[Denton]

Wasteland 3 is great if you prefer WRPGs.

The Ascent is an action game with light RPG elements but is great too.

 

[Captain Toad]

Isn't Lost Odyssey on their list?

Lost Odyssey is not on GamePass.

Yakuza Like a Dragon (also coming to PS+ Essential this month)
Dragon Quest XI
Octopath Traveler

Unfortunately, I believe most of the Final Fantasy games except 13 are gone from GP. But, they're on PS+, if you have access to that.

 

[Kuranghi]

What about non Japanese RPGs?

Yeah exactly, I want to see some Nicaraguan RPGs get love too. Or Eritrean RPGs. No need to be so asian centric with your RPGs.

 

[Pagusas]

for all those recommending Yakuza, what's a good starting game in the series for someone with absolutely 0 experience with it?

 

[Captain Toad]

for all those recommending Yakuza, what's a good starting game in the series for someone with absolutely 0 experience with it?

Like a Dragon is the turn-based JRPG one and is the only one I've played. It's a new cast from the other games and is a stand-alone experience.

I have no interest in the others, but I'll get Like a Dragon 2 day one.

 

[64bitmodels]

for all those recommending Yakuza, what's a good starting game in the series for someone with absolutely 0 experience with it?

Yakuza 0. It's pretty much the first game in the series chronologically and frankly is the best as of right now

 

[Shifty]

Self-answering question

Do you mean all RPGs or JRPGs ?

There's quite a lot to list TBH. You can use the filter on this page to sort them by genre.
