The Ar tonelico series is in my opinion arguably the best RPG games I have played. 1) I own the OSTs to all 3 games. When I play them, I get an elation doing so. I got emotional when I booted up Part 3 of the series because I knew it was the last. I also pre-ordered this game and the last after playing the first. 2) It is a single player RPG which fits my gaming style. 3) All parts of it made it fun. Combat, background music, synthesizing, diving into the Reyvateils, and earning costumes. 4) I want all 3 on GOG because this would likely be the only place other than a PS2/PS3 to play them. Final Point: I will be adding in my two cents on the other two games as well. I forgot to mention the game was shipped to me and I received it on my birthday which was a bonus on top of the rest.
This game and quite frankly, every single entry in the trilogy has a certain cohesiveness in its story, gameplay, and soundtrack that is incredibly unique to this day. It's a one of a kind trilogy that should be preserved since its blend of romance, action, musical theatrics, and heavy-handed themes is just unmatched. This game in particular is the best example of what i'm talking about. I hope this entry and eventually all of the trilogy gets the modern ports they deserve to have
Those games also need your vote!
Breath of Fire
Breath of FireRecognized by Capcom as their first traditional role-playing video game, Breath of Fire would set the precedent for future entries in the series, and features character designs by company head of development Keiji Inafune, as well as music by members of Capcom's in-house sound team Alph Lyla. In 2001, the game was re-released for the Game Boy Advance handheld system with new save features and minor graphical enhancements, with the English version being released in Europe for the first time. Set in a fantasy world, Breath of Fire follows the journey of a boy named Ryu, one of the last surviving members of an ancient race with the ability to transform into mighty dragons, as he searches the world for his sister. During his quest, Ryu meets other warriors who share his quest, and comes into conflict with the Dark Dragon Clan, a militaristic empire who seeks to take over the world by reviving a mad goddess. The game experienced mostly positive reception upon release, and was followed by a direct sequel, Breath of Fire II, in 1994.

X-Men Legends II: Rise of Apocalypse
X-Men Legends II: Rise of ApocalypseX-Men Legends II: Rise of Apocalypse is an action role-playing game and a sequel to X-Men Legends. The player controls a party of four characters, though only one at a time can be controlled directly. Besides switching the characters for combat purposes, the player is often obliged to do so, because some of the tasks in the game require the specific abilities of a certain mutant. For example, Iceman can put out the fire, Magneto can generate a metal bridge across a gap, etc. Most of the time, however, is spent in combat, collecting loot and acquiring experience points. Unlike the first game, items dropped by enemies are random. The character will level up, become stronger, and learn new skills. The player can opt to allocate all the experience and skill points manually.

Xenogears
XenogearsXenogears follows protagonist Fei Fong Wong and several others as they journey to uncover the truth behind mysterious, cabalistic entities operating in their world. The principles and philosophies of Friedrich Nietzsche, Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung influence the plot, character design, and world of Xenogears. Additionally, the symbols, theological concepts, and devotional practices of several world religions are represented in fictionalized forms in the game. Major psychological themes are the nature of identity and human memory, particularly as these relate to the phenomenon of dissociative identity disorder. The relationship between humanity and machines is central to the game's plot, as indicated by the presence of giant robots dubbed "gears," which almost each playable character can control.
