Top 5 psx rpg's

[Xexyz]

I've only played around 6-7 PSX RPG's so far but I only enjoyed 2 of them...

Top 2:

1. Suikoden
2. Vandal Hearts

I'd list FFT too but I gave up on it a little more than halfway through. Too much grinding got the better of me.

1. Star Ocean: The Second Story
2. Final Fantasy Tactics
3. Chrono Cross
4. Final Fantasy 7
5. Breath of Fire 3

Honorable mention:
6. Legend of Mana
7. Azure Dreams
8. Final Fantasy 9

I think it's pretty retarded to group multiple games of a single series to one line, but seeing as how I don't care much for Final Fantasy at all it doesn't really effect me. :P

1. Valkyrie Profile - Beautiful game with a fantastic storyline. Gotta love any game that revolves around recruiting the spirits of the dead to wage war at the end of the world. Also really enjoyed all the senarios that explained why these warriors died, made them very human.

2. Persona 2 - Pretty much the same reasoning, both games are very dark and I love all the references in the Mega-ten series to Chthulhu.

3. Alundra - Wonderfully dark and depressing plot, with challenging and intelligent puzzels. A must for any Landstalker fan.

4. Dragon Warrior VII - One of the best Dragon Warriors ever created. Ugly, but the characters are very human and memorable. Also love the time traveling gimmick, much like Chrono Trigger had.

5. Lunar Eternal Blue Complete - A classic. Great cast of characters, hilariously funny, and a fun adventure story.

With Kudos going to the following games for just being admongst my favorites:

Breath of Fire III - My first Playstation RPG. I just fell in love wih everything about it.

Tales of Destiny II - Good game. :P

Shadow Madness - Hilarious script. Otherwise a sort of ugly FF7 knockoff.

Koudelka - Great trifecta of characters. Plays like a survival horror game with random battles and retardedly easy puzzels. The first of the Shadow Hearts series.

Rhapsody - Reeeeaaaly easy game. I wouldn't have botered with it at all if I didn't love the humor and the characters. But being an easy game you can whip through it in about 10 hours. And despite being all girly and colorful the storyline's actually quite sad.

Final Fantasy IX - My favorite Final Fanatsy game. Meaning one of the only ones I liked. Great characters with a fun, fast adventure plot. Until the very end where everything got all stupid. Vivi for the wins!

1. Suikoden 2
2. Lunar Silver Star Story Complete
3. Final Fantasy Tactics
4. Alundra
5. Wild Arms 2

Honorable mention:
Thousand Arms. I actually tried to play this on the 1.80 PS3 upgrade. Didn't look any better, but reminded me how much I loved this title.

1. Rhapsody

I don't care about the rest. Xenogears was "allright". We need more A) gay-ass chick RPGs; B) fucked-up quasi-anti-religion RPGs; or C) something other than the same stupid fantasy-sci-fi-wizard-bullshit RPGs that come out every year. Yeah, I know a couple of the ones you guys mentioned are questionably in one of those 3 categories, but for the most part, the RPG genre needs to fucking expand. We need some wild-west-RPGs, zombie-RPGs, alternate-history-RPGs, political-RPGs, etc. etc. That's another topic however. The PS1 had plenty of traditional-RPGs if you're into that sorta thing.

petewhitley, although not PS1 titles, I'd think about the Shadow Hearts series and Live-a-Live for the Super Famicom (fan translation exists). Both of those I think did a good job of taking RPG elements and putting them in non-traditional RPG settings.

Thanks for the recommendations. I've never even heard of the Live-a-Live game; I'll have a look.

Tales of Destiny II - Good game. :P

Did you know that was actually called Tales of Eternal III in Japan?

Umm... yeah look next time you feel like spamming a thread with one of your little known "facts" you may just want to brush up on the validity of said fact.

1. Shadow Madness (easy as hell, some questionable graphics, but great story/dialogue and some memorable scenes.)
2. Chocobo's Dungeon 1 (japan only but better than the second. I'm a fan of the Wii and WonderSwan versions and also the Rogue/Nethack games that inspired it.)
3. Chocobo's Dungeon 2 (only one to get localized, but not as good as the first. Still fun though.)
4. Wizardry: The Llylgamyn Saga (first compilation of remakes for the original Wizardry trilogy.)
5. Wizardry: The New Age of Llylgamyn (second compilation with Wizardry 4 and 5.)
