Dynasty Tactics, Langrisser, Suikoden, Lufia, Lunar, or Destiny of An Emperor would be most underrated ,but some reasons that many American fans are not interested to play those games.Oh, ROTK isn't underrated since all ROTK series but 5 released in America ,so I would say Nobunaga's Ambition series are the most underrated for America because those series haven't release in America for almost 12 years. Dynasty Tactics series are good games ,but many fans aren't interested to play those games for some reasons.Lufia series destroyed by Taito because they tried to convert Lufia's final series to non-traditional rpg i.e. puzzles and eliminate Sinistrals. I would like to buy Lufia series that's way I would revive them ,but I am not good at developing games and won't have enough money to purchase. Breath of Fire is also one of them that Capcom tried to convert from RPG to something including puzzles. Now, Konami nearly ruined Suikoden series because I couldn't believe that someone from Konami is so stupid to allow Kawano to ruined Suikoden series when she tried to develop Suikoden 4 so quickly so that she could develop new Suikoden Tactics.I don't know why Capcom stopped to develop Destiny of An Emperor series ,but those games except 3rd are good games. As for Lunar, Game Arts can't come up with storyline or creating something ,but I hope that they will develop new Lunar series ;otherwise, I would use "Choke Force" on them just like Darth Vader did.Masayan decided to not develop Langrisser series anymore ,so they sold the rights of Langrissers to Atlus which turned into Growlanser series.

Most definitely any game by NIS is underrated. As is Star Ocean, and Ys. Tales of the Abyss is as well (Although I'm just saying that cause I'm rabid Tales of fanboy ) Growlanser and Grandia III are definitely underrated as well.

For me, the 2 Kingdom Hearts games. They should be rated the best games of all time!!!

well, i think, dot hack games and n.i.s games should be given more credit. i mean they have good story lines, the least

Xenosaga and Suikoden are two great games that should recieve more praise than they're getting, but I'd say the most underrated series of all time would also be my absolute favorite: Shin Megami Tensei.Thanks to the USA never seeing the SMT series' origins due to religious and political conflicts not welcomed in games of the SNES era, a lot of people ended up being introduced to this massive series (and its sub series) via the Persona games. Unfortunately, SMT games have two traits that condemn them as an RPG series:1. The stories are dark and depressing, and usually very short, spanning a movie's length of time into a 50 hour game2. The games are unnaturally hard, actually requiring strategy, and may be more challenge than some players are looking forThat said, I'd have to recommend SMT to anyone with an open mind, and it is, without a doubt, one of the most underrated games.

to:puruwell i have to agree with you on Suikoden, it has great story lines and a good game system. plus it's fun getting all 108 chars.

I put it down for the underrated games because let's face it--you NEVER hear about a new Suikoden installment. It's a bum rap too, because they have some great stories and unique gameplay.
