Actraiser is an Action-RPG, at least, I consider it one. Harvest Moon could be considered a Simulation/RPG.
I always though of Actraiser as sim/action platformer. Harvest Moon I can sort of see, but I tend to call it just straight sim.
Anyway, not really favorites per se, but just what I consider the best in general;

Might be adding Romancing SaGa: Minstrel Song to this list.

I've played other Western RPGs, but none of them come anywhere near Fallout.
