If its any help, the only RPG's i've ever really played was Final Fantasy VII, VIII & IX. My fav was VIII.

If you are just looking for an RPG and not at the achievements you could go for Lost Odyssey or Eternal Sonata. Lost Odyssey is a turn based RPG, kinda like the battle system of the Final Fantasy games where you take turns when in a battle. Eternal Sonata is has a more action based battle system.

 

If you liked FF8 you should check some videos of Lost Odyssey, don't know if there's a demo out for that game.

He has only played JRPG's so far, those are completely different than a western RPG like Oblivion, Mass Effect or Fallout.

 

That doesn't mean he may not like it.

 

Here is a big difference commonly seen between J(apanese)RPGs and W(estern)RPGs.

 

JRPG=Usually involves turn based elements and a lot of collectiables. The worlds are usually more straight forward too.

 

WRPGs are more open-ended worlds that have a lot of exploration value and feature heavy FPS elements.

 

For a WRPG I would suggest Oblivion or Fallout 3 as those were very popular and featured Very Easy - Very Hard modes that you could play on depending on level of skill.

 

For a JRPG I would suggest Tales of Vesperia, Final Fantasy XIII, & Lost Odyssey as those were very enjoyable.

Of course now i want an RPG, all the cheapo ones i used to see seem to have gone!! I think i'll give Lost Odyseyy a go (if i can find it).

Might give Final fantasy XIII a go if i can find it cheap enough to. Money is tight at the mo.
