See pollloolololol

Shit I forgot to add the "mix" option.

Anyways my vote is for mix, lol. Just treat "other" as "mix/other"

Medieval/Fantasy for me

It might be useful to hear why you like certain settings but not others

Re: Favorite RPG setting?

Well the Medieval/Fantasy setting always appealed to me more so for the weaponry and character types. I like the ability to have control with a darker souled player, and the story lines of good vs evil and battles for power and justice are just my kind of thing.

Tis why I like to stick with the Final Fantasy series, it seems to all be around that kind of thing, even though it gets a little more modernized each time a games come out, it still has those roots of good vs evil and battles for justice and peace.


It's the same thing with a shooter game, I prefer classic style war over futuristic laser shooting, light saber stabbing, gravity hammer bullshit.

Re: Favorite RPG setting?

Yeah, It's Medieval/Fantasy for me also. I like the good vs. bad thing and like that sort of style of weaponry.

Re: Favorite RPG setting?

I like Medieval/Fantasy as well as futuristic. Games like Valkyrie profile, the FF series, Star Ocean and Wild Arms are just a few of the games that I feel fit me and my interests perfectly.

Any examples of "Modern" and "Alien" rpgs? I can't seem to think of any.

Re: Favorite RPG setting?

I personally prefer Medieval/Fantasy because I grew up playing those style of games (like Eternal Lands).

Re: Favorite RPG setting?

I enjoy games with futuristic elements the most just because I like to see all the ridiculous "technology" that is made. However, I enjoy medieval/fantasy games also because it seems like the most reasonable time for an RPG to take place in.

Re: Favorite RPG setting?

The setting is pretty much irrelevant to me, so long as the storytelling is done well enough.

Re: Favorite RPG setting?

Three things an RPG should have for me to thoroughly enjoy it are:
Story- If I have to sit through a cut scene that's so bad it makes me hop on my computer til its over, then I wont be playing long.
Soundtrack-I want to be pulled into the music, and the music better damn well fit with the occasion.
Side quests/Replayable content- The Fast forward/Slow down feature in a Chrono Cross New Game+ was epic as hell. I don't care what anyone says. I'm a sucker for side quests, and a game I can play over and over again and still discover something new each time.

Re: Favorite RPG setting?

Medieval for sure, I haven't really had much of a liking towards the Futuristic RPG genre, but I have beaten quite a few, even so.

The Weapons, the Lore, the Monsters. They're all better. I mean, the only Futuristic Medieval Game I have ever played was SO:TTEoT. I didn't much enjoy that, either. I do care about the GvE content in a Medival Game, but it's not as much of a necessity..

Modern Game examples: Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3, Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4.

Cyberpunk (is that what you consider FF7? maybe "mix"?)
i wouldn't consider FF7 to be the BEST RPG EVER, but the setting and music for the Midgar area was really top notch, definitely sucked me in to the story.
