Didnt like FFXII even a little bit. Final Fantasy died after X. I still play each new one that comes out, but thats just to support JRPGs.

^ hahaha! Quick someone post their top 5 RPGs so I don't feel like I totally derailed this thread!
Brings back some memories. Here's a list—too lazy to think about order—to save derail.
Honorable mentions also to
- Resonance of Fate (aka End of Eternity)
- Valkyrie Profile (Lenneth)
- Star Ocean: Till the End of Time (3rd game in series)
- Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together (the original, of course not the GBA gaiden)
- Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn
- Ogre Battle: March of the Black Queen (the original, not OB64)
- Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter (5th and last game in series)
- Lufia II: Rise of the Sinistrals
- Radiata Stories
- Valkyrie Profile: Silmeria
- Icewind Dale
I don't particularly like the single character (or single character you control) games. Also not a fan of random encounters, most traditional DQ-style menu combat (though I admit there are some successes, like with some of SNES-era Square ATB systems, some DQ, etc.), most regular enemies. Everything above is mostly there just for combat and exploration aspects, except Lufia II (combat) / Radiata Stories / TRPGs (no exploration, duh) of course. Actually, most of these have suitable and decent soundtracks too, as far as video game music goes.
btw maybe it should be pointed out that I'm not much a Disgaea or Nippon Ichi fan—the avatar is just to be goofy.
Torchlight 2
X3: Terran Conflict
X3: Rebirth

Top 5
Baldur's Gate II

I tried to play this recently. It aged very poorly, which is a shame since I have such fond memories of playing it.
Have you played Skyrim?
