I always had the belief there weren't many RPG games for the PS3, but motivated by a recent thread about Demon's Soul I did some looking around not only are there more than I had expected, but a lot more coming up... some of which look like they could be truly amazing! đź‘Ť
I thought I would start this thread for others who like RPG games, but may not be familiar with what's available for the PS3.
I'll try and keep this first post updated:
Here is how MetaCritic ranks some, but not all of them:
And then there are all the MMORPG games for the PS3 like:
Of the list of current RPG games, I think Valkyria Chronicles and Folklore are perhaps the most under appreciated, and seem to attract more fans the longer they have been out.
UPDATE: Today, on the Japanese PSN store, they have made available a stunning trailer for tri-Ace / Sega's upcoming FF-esque RPG game, End of Eternity in 1080p... and it looks breathtaking! đź‘Ť
So I decided to do a quick Google search on finding lists of RPG games for the PS3, as well as browsed through the list of PS3 (disc based) games on Wiki, to see what others have listed as RPG games for the PS3 and what is coming out. I also came across another ranking site that does it by genre, and lists several RPG games for the PS3, but not all of them.

- While Sacred 2 didn't exactly get rave reviews when it came out last year on PC, but the good news is that it appears a lot of the negative criticism it received was due to being very buggy... and with six months of additional development time, perhaps it will be much better.
