c and c++ are both good languages to use.  They can easily handle an 
immense amount of data and graphics.  The main thing to remember if you
use them is that ANSI C doesn't bounds check arrays for you.  Course, if
you know C well enough to program an rpg in it you'll already know that.
:)  Visual Basic is also a pretty good language for games and is fairly
easy to learn if you don't know it already.  C gets a bit confusing at 
times.  If you don't know C or C++ very well, use a language that you
already know or look into visual basic.
Happy Programming
