my favorite classic roguelike is tales of maj’eyal with a(n ancient) dual classing mod installed. my favorite final fantasy is XII the zodiac age. my favorite borderlands is wonderlands (still kinda mid though). i loved baldur’s gate 3 and the owlcat pathfinder games. my peak arpg is path of exile with titan quest 2 earning an honorable mention.
what are your favorite rpgs and rpg adjacent games that include in depth, flexible class systems?
Final Fantasy Tactics does classes (jobs) wonderfully imho. Also let’s you mix and match abilities for multi classing.
Dragon’s Dogma doesn’t have a ton of options but it’s also a fun system imho, and has some hybrid classes.
Not my fav, but I have a soft spot for Torchlight 2 for sentimental reasons.
Final Fantasy 14 has to be up there for me as well, even though I didn’t play it much. The not playing it much had more to with my lifestyle not meshing well with an MMO anymore, not with the great job system it had.
