Let's see... for me it would be the Pokemon series. Loved that since childhood. I also like its abusive uncle, the Shin Megami Tensei series. And finally, Skies of Arcadia. Does anyone remember that game?

Hard to call it... It's a tie between the Pokemon series (they're really pumping them out lately. Got three of them for the 3DS and they're all excellent,) the Tales of series and the Star Ocean series.

Oh and lately I've been playing Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse and it's qickly climbing to the top of my list. Gonna have to check out the other Shin Megami Tensei games.

[edit: Oh, and Wild Arms. Can't believe I forgot Wild Arms.]

Earthbound/Mother, unquestionably. (Never really thought about the fact that these are technically "JRPGs" despite the incredibly western settings. Weird.)

Persona 4/5 and SMT NOCTURNE.

And Mother 3 always has a special place in my heart.

Non-FF RPG is the Dragon Quest series before they merged in with Square.
Non-square RPG is probably going to be the Phantasy Star series

Square games haven't been my favorites for almost 10 years now. Overall I'd say Megaten/Persona series.

Lufia, Golden Sun, Breath of Fire, Bravely series etc.
Though it seems all of them got involved with SQEX in some way.

Expect from GS but it's more of an obscure series, ignored by it's devs :)

I can't really answer anything, all my favorite non-square games are already named.

No, only Dragon Quest ended up with Square. Sorry... Oh, Xenoblade chronicles is one that comes to mind!

Lufia II: Rise of the Sinistrals. Heck, the series in general. If it was as widely publicized as with Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest, it will probably reach close to the magnitude of the popularity of those games. Obscure gem that is xD

Just beat the last of us 2 last night and starting jedi: fallen order right now, both use unreal engine & when I say i knew 80% of jedi's buttons right away because they were the same buttons as TLOU2 its ridiculous, even the same narrow hallway crawl and barely-made-it jump they do. Unreal Engine is just big budget RPG Maker the way they make games nearly identical at its core lol.
Can someone recommend some fun story-heavy RPGs to me? Coming up with good gameplay is a nightmare! I was thinking of making some gameplay platforming-based, but that doesn't work well in RPG form*. I also was thinking of removing battles, but that would be too much like OneShot. I don't even know how to make good puzzles!
one bad plugin combo later and one of my followers is moonwalking off the screen on his own... I didn't even more yet on the new map lol.
time for a new avatar :)
