Some multiplayer RPGs?Follow

Hey guys, I was just curious of what RPG games are out there that are multiplayer. My girlfriend and I are looking for another RPG to get into together, and we're not too sure what it is just yet. Not so much looking for another MMORPG this time around, but if you guys could throw out some suggestions, that'd be awesome, doesn't matter what system, just throw out whatever you have. Thanks!

Here are some of the multiplayer RPGs that we've played and enjoyed;

The 'Tales Of' series
Secret of Mana/Seiken Densetsu 3
White Knight Chronicles
FFXI
WoW
Sacred 2
The Buldar's Gate games
Borderlands (I know its not really a RPG, but meh)
Eternal Sonata
Demon's Souls/Dark Souls

Yep you got it, you go on quests online in WKC (we already have the second one as well). I think it's good fun, a nice piece that they didn't really have to add.

Eternal Sonata had a 'kind of' multiplayer I guess you could put it haha, very similar to the Tales of series, just that each character had to wait their turn, it was all in good fun though.

lord of the rings: war in the north is co-op (not couch co-op though)

the last level is still unplayable for a lot of radeon video cards though.

Some of the earlier FF games have limited multiplayer. In FF9 at least you can have someone else control half the party in battles.

the multiplayer in phantasy star portable could be okay, I guess - the trouble I had is

a) communication sucks
b) it is pretty impossible to get people around your level to play with so you end up having some level 100 steamroll stuff for you... meh

It did make me excited for the future possibilities of portable online play though.

oh yeah then that would be awesome. Seriously. The game is a lot of fun, and if you both have psp I think you can multiplayer without net even (would have to check that, I haven't done it... but there is two multiplayer modes I believe)

from my experience with PS-portable 2 I will probably check out the new phantasy star online game they are putting out, give it a shot. I would love it if they remastered the early (Sega) games - I bought them as part of the sega collection on PSP & Phantasy Star collection on GBA - but they could use improved sprites and sharper backgrounds (would love to see them get the same facelift Final Fantasy 1,2, and 4 got on the PSP) straight emulation doesn't do them justice.

I know I'm bumping a 3-week old thread here, but I thought I'd add "Borderlands", because it fits the concept of having multiplayer play available like FPS multiplayer (which is essentially what the game is), but it also has RPG elements. The OP did say "not necessarily "MMORPG", which gave me the impression he didn't really want another MMOG.

I don't consider it to be a great game in many ways - I've said that if World of Warcraft is the "delivery pizza" of MMOGs, then Borderlands is the Twinkie of them; they both have great elements that make them fun to play, Borderlands has even less depth in its content. Still, who doesn't love pizza and Twinkies (not necessarily at the same time :D )? My complaints about Borderlands hasn't stopped me from playing it for hundreds of hours (generally when I'm taking a break from whatever MMOG I'm playing regularly).
