In Ultima 7, if you collected enough silver serpent venom and drank it all at the same time, when it wore off and permanently reduced your strength it could cause your strength to wrap from 0 to 255 making you godlike.

Revenge is the most OP skill in the game. It has easily scalable damage as it does damage based off the difference of health you have and max health, and ignores all defenses and resistances.
Let's say your hexer has a max 999 HP with a single health point remaining, with revenge maxed out, you would multiply that by 2.55, you would be doing about 2545 damage per attack. With three hexers, you would be doing about 7635 damage per turn. The overlord has 8000 HP, so you would just about be killing the final boss in a single turn.

If it wasn't for the censorship and the game's "loops" getting dull, I'd have said it was perfect.
It's kind of a shame, since I prefer making each character fit a roll, but the game is really built so everyone maxes out skills in everything to make what you want. Dunno how they could have encouraged that beyond a character saying "HEY LETS USE ALL THE JOBS GUIZE."

Link's Awakening on Gameboy. The split second as you're moving to a new screen, press select to open the map screen and then press select again. You'll warp to the other side of the next screen. This usually results in all kinds of other sprite glitches, but you can use it to get items early in the game.
Also, while not really a glitch, with RPGs like Dragon Warrior, Final Fantasy and the like, play them on an emulator with the game speed cranked up to the max.

I figured this one out on my own for Final Fantasy II SNES that let's you level up your party very quickly.
Some monsters can summon other monsters. In Land of the Monsters (the path to where the callers live) in the underworld, you will encounter conjurers that summon random types of enemies.
Cast fast on them a few times to speed up their attack. Then kill off party members all but Cecil. Then wrap a rubber band around your controller or find some other way to press the attack button down. If you do everything right, the conjurer will summon a creature first (he's fast now) and then Cecil will attack what he summons on next turn and kill it in one hit. Conjurer summons again, rinse and repeat.
After you've killed enough summoned creatures, you revive your entire party and then finish the fight. You will gets millions of experience for your entire party. What's even cooler is if you revive only one member and then kill off Cecil and have the revived member finish the fight. They will get 4x the experience and will level up like 10-20 times. However, you have to be careful because, if you get too much experience, it will wrap back around to zero and you won't know it until you've finished the fight.
I used to do this and leave the game on while I slept and then finished the fight in the morning before school while I watched Batman: The Animated Series on my other TV

The "band combo" in Final Fantasy Tactics:
-Team of 5, with Ramza.
-2 Mimes. 2 others with any job, but a male with "Bard" and a female with "Dancer" as secondaries.
-Ramza using any job with his Squire job as secondary.
-Every turn: Ramza on the lead vocal, using "Yell" to raise speed (2 Mimes copy, making 3 times speed up + 2 back vocals), the one with Bard as secondary plays the main instrument, using any of the buffs (x3 because of the Mimes + 2 back instruments), and the one with Dancer as secondary dances, using any of the debuffs (x3 because of the Mimes + 2 back dancers).
-By the time that the enemy troops reaches you, you are too fast, much more stronger, and they are much more weaker.
-Eliminate them all without any difficulty, while having a party, playing, dancing and singing.

Here's some casual shit.
Skyrim: Works on unpatched console versions, not sure about anything else now. Acquire item that grants alchemy boost, wear it, make potion of fortify recovery. Drink potion, remove equipment, equip it again. Make new potion of fortify recovery. Keep repeating the cycle until you start making insanely powerful potions, then make insane fortify enchanting potion. Use disenchant your alchemy equipment, then remake it after boosting the shit out of your enchanting with the hax potion you made. Now everything you make with alchemy will be game-breakingly powerful. Handy for boosting skills like blacksmithing, so you can make legendary iron daggers and other bullshit to mop the floor of this piece of shit game. At least it's a decent time sink.
Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel
Captain Cuck and Pansy Bitchfraud's means of killing 2K Australia. Anyway, play as Jack, and acquire the You Have My Shield skill, which grants your holographic duplicates a copy of your shield. The fun part is, the fucks coding the game made the melee damage boost for melee shields MULTIPLICATIVE instead of ADDITIVE, when it applies to the damage your duplicates do. The rest of your skills should be set toward keeping your duplicates active as long as possible, restoring their health, and making them gain power. You can gib bosses with this shit. The Avalanche shield is a legendary melee shield in this game which is perfect for breaking the shit out of it, if you can stand playing it.
