best rpg company

Well, happy accident, then: Riviera was NOT developed by Atlus. It was only published by them, and in NA only too no less. Riviera, and the rest of the Dept. Heaven, were all developed by Sting

Remember: developer doesn't not necessarily equate to publisher.

However, you followed the name anyway, and actually got to Atlus' real RPG series, the SMT franchise. Be prepared for the hardest, yes satisfying journey in your RPG life.

Huh, interesting, all I remembered was the big Atlus logo on the box hahaha.

SMT IV is like drugs to me, when I'm finished it I'm going to try and find some of the PS2 releases and hook up the old thing to try and grind through them as well.

Im a persona fan myself but the strange journey was not appelling to me. the nocturne was cool, kaidou vs undead army was good too.

The best is subjective. Making it a poll is basically a giant popularity contest with extremely limited choices. So yeah, making it into a poll wasn't a great idea.

it is not just a popularity contest. most picking out best out of a legit confirm choice which educate reasoning behind it. it not just out of fanboyism, and those people that are hating poll because there afraid of competing. without rivalry you cannot make a game, developer,or whole company better without the input of many people of their hard work. i agree that my poll was not the best example but it is a small start.

But it is a popularity contest.

Obviously there is going to be competition between different devs and publishers, but in the end of the day people will choose different games because among those that they've played and stood out.


There's nothing scientific about this nor will it result in a definite winner.

Also nice strawman fallacy. No one is afraid of discussing their favorite games, flaws and everything.

I already think poorly of you, let's not make it worse.

i can say the same about you.

Maybe I'm being harsh but anyone who says;

"most picking out best out of a legit confirm choice which educate reasoning behind it. it not just out of fanboyism, and those people that are hating poll because there afraid of competing."

Sounds like a drooling idiot, even if you ignore the terrible grammar.

i might not be the best speller however my best attribute is math. I dont care if you find me drooling idiot but it sounds that you have not won anything with a poll at the end result of one. your probably one of those kids that bully and not one won a singular popularity contest.

please continue about putting in a poll which company you believe is the best. remember this is option choice even one gets more votes than the others. you believe the poll is bad idea then grant ok. i didnt list all company,however, continue put your ideas in this. if your against poll because your think is popularity contest then dont vote just state your favorite. however if you like to put your option out please continue. Please no misbehave with less class children comments. from now on i will ignore it. you think ill so me so be it. this a forum to discuss favorite company not critize y is there a poll in there first place. if want to continue that road then create a seperated forum discussing this other wise. haters please dont bring smartalics remarks because it not to your liking. if you find it insulting i am sorry to those does not apply to ,but to those whom do apply well i am not as sorry.

Grammar =! Spelling mistakes

I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt and assume English isn't your first or primary language.
And I'm going to ignore the personal attack because its downright pathetic.

You seem to ignore the fact that taste is subjective and that having an Internet poll isn't scientific for billions of reasons.

The issue really isn't the poll, it's what you said.

I'll say what I gotta.


NAMCO BEFORE IT WAS BAMCO.

SQUARE BEFORE IT WAS SQUENIX.

FROM SOFTWARE BEFORE IT HAD DEMON SOULS.

ATLUS, AKSYS, AND NIS. NOTHING WRONG WITH THEM EXCEPT FOR THE MAKE UP TRANSLATIONS.

AAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL GOOOOD.

Square-Enix is the best game company ever & it only makes JRPG games & some Action/Adventure Shooter games. Nuff said!

Pfah! Square-Enix is a joke, the pre-merger companies Squaresoft and Enix produced great games. Now they focus primarily on graphics and cashcows rather than making the next FFVII, Chrono Trigger, Terranigma -quality game.

Currently, I'd say Atlus is most on top of things as a traditional rpg company still in business. Other than that Basilisk Games aren't doing bad either, or other indie rpg companies.

I couldn't really say; I've seen all of those companies make both pure gold and pure garbage before. I'd have to say earlier Square Enix stuff was pretty grand (everything pre-FFX I really enjoyed) but their later stuff I just don't find that good, in my opinion. NIS is pretty grand--I love most all of their stuff--but their games can get really complex to the point where getting all the extra content takes you several months of playtime.

I could choose in a game by game basis which ones better, but the whole companies cover too many works for me to really decide; sorry.

i dont know about that some indie rpg feels just like knock off of earlier rpg francizes. granted that square-enix is more graphic focus now but only because there also focus story wise even thou ff13 story plot kinda sucks. the altus is extremely good sticking for traditional but when go off base it kinda is a letdown.

How many western companies do RPGs?

There are enough. But the number doesn't matter here, even if there was only one, as long as it makes good games, it belongs on the list.

True, but I'm still having trouble trying to think of any western RPGs. Excluding MMOs, that is.

Bethesda and Bioware in this moment.

Square back in the days.
