How did you develop such confidence ? Not a single game can play well on your current rig (maybe Super Fruit Fall xD)

Unfortunately for you RPGs are usually very demanding. I'm talking about GC/Wii/PS2 games.
But if you're a great RPG fan (as I am) you'll find a lot of excellent games on less demanding systems (SNES, PSX, even the old NES)

Ahh , I just remembered that extremely light-weight game on the wiki . It's called "Phantom Brave"
Not sure it's good or not though

The only RPG I can think of that you could really play at fullspeed given your system would be Final Fantasy IV: The After Years. Your CPU is pretty weak for Dolphin, and your IGP will bottleneck you even at 1x IR with no AA. Of course Xenoblade Chronicles, The Last Story, and such are out of the question, but so are titles like Tales of Symphonia, Skies of Arcadia, Phantasy Star Online: Ep. 1&2, etc. It's not that the latter are demanding games; your system is just too weak to handle much of anything.

It's a good old-school RPG. Rather "light" indeed

IF you included LLE backend , you could say my laptop is too weak to those games as well

Most GC games need only HLE audio to run fine. Any revision from 3.5-77 or higher will do. Tales of Symphonia and Skies of Arcadia were notorious for requiring LLE audio and hence being somewhat demanding. But even as early as 3.0-809 audio on HLE has become very acceptable, and after the new-ax-hle merge it's pretty much perfect for either game. LLE audio isn't even recommended anymore for SoA on the Dolphin wiki. It is recommended still on the wiki for ToS, but in my opinion it's totally unnecessary.
