Why on earth would you list all of the Final Fantasy games in one spot when they're all so different? Who cares if your top 5 winds up being 5 Final Fantasy games? They're generally diverse enough that it still shows a pretty broad taste in jRPGs.

For instance, I really liked Final Fantasy 9 but found 8 to be tedious and 7 to be too primitive. Final Fantasy I and II haven't aged well at all (II in particular was a tedious mess) while IV, V, and VI are still fun even with the technical quirks of the PS1 ports. Final Fantasy Tactics' battlefields were a bit cramped and the localization was awful, but it was still a joy to play. Chocobo's Mysterious Dungeon was poo.

Cuz it's his damn list :)

1 - Final fantasy
2 - Dragon warrior
3 - Suikoden
4 - Vagrant story
5 - I really liked Kings field 1 actually. But thats off the top of my head, sure I could think of better.

[RugalSizzler]

This is a really good question SInce Inever really thought of it myself I just wented by what is and will allways be best still:cheers:

Vagrant Story- The closet thing to Secret Of Mana and was the only other game that used this battle system besides Hybrid Heavan or Quest64.

Alundra PSX series - Was the alterative to Y's and Zelda at the time. When it went 3d the game itself was still just as fun. It was just amazing to see this game in action.

FF8- was a great improvment over FF7. The only reason this is better the fact after Midgar FF7 is pretty much meh. Also FF8 had only One Bahamut like it should be.

FF7- brought RPG games to the modern era or at least industrial era and basically was just FF6 revamped. I was also impressed by the transformation of etc character.

Personally I am not a PSX fan at all and the be RPG is not on the PSX. It is the Mother Series tied with Star Ocean/Tales Of Phantasia SNES. The PSX has alot of great games just not the gereatest and the only reason I picked Vagrant is the game reminds me of FF6+Secret Of Mana 3.

1. I didn't list ALL the FF games in one slot, I put 3 or 4 I particularly liked up there in order because I just enjoy the FF series.
2. I didn't say shit about Chocobo's Mysterious Dungeon. Try letting us know what you liked, instead of bashing other games not previously mentioned.
3. Cuz it's my damn list.



It just goes to show how many good to great rpg's there are to choose from, look at the variety in these lists! I completely forgot about the wild arms group, great games.

[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.

[Daria]

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!

[Eternal Tune]

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.

[petewhitley]

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.

[Snapple]

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.

[roushimsx]

3. Cuz it's my damn list.


And that's all it is. It's a list post with near-zero substance, encouraging other empty posts with a few scattered people actually bothering to expand on their lists by offering supporting information for what they liked about each game or why they rated their games the way they did. You know, making something worth reading and encouraging discussion.

Your post is just a bunch of postcount whoring crap while people like Daria, RugalSizzler, petewhitley actually brought something to the table. While you're at it, why don't you make a thread about your top five favorite RPG characters and then maybe make a poll of what people think is cooler, the keyblade or the buster sword?

Hell, while you're on a roll, you should also go out of your way to have a huge, obnoxious sig block, because people with low content posts tend to enjoy having large, annoying sigs, too.


petewhitley, although not PS1 titles, I'd think about the Shadow Hearts series

Shadow Hearts was pretty snazzy. I'm really looking forward to playing the second game, because I hear it's hella good. The first game was nice, but it was a little too obvious that it was just a PS1 game shoehorned onto the PS2 at the last minute. The judgment ring system was surprisingly fun.

[Gabriel]

5. Suikoden
4. Vandal Hearts
3. Final Fantasy VII
2. Final Fantasy Tactics
1. Front Mission 3

I disqualified Final Fantasy VI and Ogre Battle since they were merely SNES ports. The Lunars got left out for a similar reason. Even though they were "Special Editions" they merely covered the same ground the SegaCD had done just as effectively.

Suikoden had to fight Persona for the #5 spot. In the end, I determined that Suikoden had the broader appeal making it a more enjoyable game.

I find it odd that I'm the first one to mention Front Mission 3. It does have the flaw of linearity. The story also sucks goat balls (a problem which Final Fantasy Tactics also has in abundance). The gameplay is godly, though. It makes up for all the flaws and elevates it to the best of the best.

[Gabriel]

Final Fantasy I and II haven't aged well at all (II in particular was a tedious mess)

Personally, I find FF1 to be engaging. It's not terribly interesting in terms of story, true. It's just a solid old school romp. It's an entertaining test of endurance.

Please note, I'm referring to the remix on the PS1 with the improved graphics and slightly easier difficulty (although not all difficulty yanked out of it like the GBA version). The original NES version is too bland looking and a bit too vicious to be enjoyable.

On the other hand, FF2 is a pile of dogsnot. It could have been a decent game with a normal XP mechanic. Unfortunately, the game uses it's broken "learn what you do" XP system which prompts silly activities like stripping the characters naked and then having them slapfight each other in front of monsters in order to build up decent HPs. Perhaps one day Square will do a remix of the game with a proper game engine.

[goemon]

Some of my favorites (Japan only)

5) Shin Megami Tensei: To fans of the series, there isn't much else to say. It takes the Wizardry-style "dungeon crawling" engine and adds a modern storyline and the ability to reason with your enemies rather than kill them. If you give them the right items they can even fight on your side. I just got this game a few weeks ago and already it's in my top 5.

4) Monster Collection: Based on a Japanese trading card game of the same name, Monster Collection uses the first card series as the mode of battle for an RPG. You can trade cards with NPCs and other players, battle through dungeons turning monsters into cards, and entering tournaments. The actual battle system requires that you design a coherent deck that has good synergy among all the cards in it: the opponents are very unforgiving.

3) First Queen IV: The First Queen games are RPG's with a touch of real-time strategy. Instead of controlling one character, you control several armies of around 18 characters. You move the armies across the world map, and when you get into a battle you can control each soldier individually in real-time. The graphics are great, with nice large sprites when zoomed in. There are many improvements from the last First Queen console game on SFC: there's a money system, custom class change routes, multi-tiered battles, and a world map that's about twice as large. In short, FQ4 is one of the most addictive RPG's I've played in a while.

2) Black/Matrix Cross: I'm not sure if simulation RPG's count here, but this is one of the best. The graphics are great, all the cutscenes are fully voiced, and there are many new gameplay mechanics that make it stand out from other simulation RPG's. Most prominently, instead of magic points your characters can get blood points from killing enemies. These points can be distributed among the active party before each battle, so the magic users can get more and the main attackers can get less. The points can also be used to add abilities to weapons. There's also a gauge during battles that shows who has the advantage -- the player or the enemy. The side with the advantage gets increased damage and defense, so each move has to be carefully timed so that it lines up with the gauge. This may sound simple, but it adds a whole new strategy to the battles. You can ressurect dead enemies as zombies and make them suicide bomb enemy positions, but if the gauge is in their favor, the attack will barely hurt them. If the gauge is in your favor, though, the zombie bomb will kill pretty much everyone in its radius.

1) Kuroi Hitomi no Noir Cielgris Fantasm: One of the lesser-known Gust titles that was overshadowed by the Atelier games, Cielgris Fantasm is a refreshing twist on the "monster catching" games of the late '90s. The real-time battles with six character parties are great. The hand-drawn graphics (including watercolor paintings) are gorgeous and show the futility of photorealism in games. There are TONS of hidden events and items, an arena to conquer, secret monsters to catch, and plenty of endings. It's one of those games that you can play over and over and never play it the same way twice.

[PDorr3]

Its always tough for me to decide if I like ff7 or ff9 better, however I think I really have decided that I like ff9 better just due to its highly medievil and fantasy setting

1) Final fantasy 9
2) Final Fantasy 7
3) Final fantasy 8
4) Xenogears
5) Legend of Dragoon

[roushimsx]

Personally, I find FF1 to be engaging. It's not terribly interesting in terms of story, true. It's just a solid old school romp. It's an entertaining test of endurance.

(snip)

On the other hand, FF2 is a pile of dogsnot.

Yea, I used to dig FF1 as recently as ~1994-ish, but I guess the span of time between when I played it last and now has just been too great. It's hard to put my finger on specifically what I dislike about it that puts me off, but I guess it's the primitive combat system in comparison to everything else I've played since then. I have a similar problem going back to the Dragon Warrior games (though the interface in those is leaps and bounds worse than FF's... and I used to adore old school CRPGs) :(

I thought that FF I+II on GBA was the version of II that magically didn't suck. Should I still avoid it or give it a peek-a-boo?

[Gabriel]

You know, now that it's brought up, I realize I don't have a clear memory of playing FF2 on the GBA. I wonder if I attempted it? After all, the Final Fantasy Origins FF2 on the PS1 had left a really bad taste behind.

I do remember that FF1 for the GBA had all the difficulty ripped out of it.

[Three-P]

For me....

5-Beyond the Beyond.
4-Chrono Cross.
3-Parasite Eve.
2-Dragon Warrior VII.
1-Final Fantasy IX.

I guess that you and I differ on this. I love the old FF games, and I played the hell out of FFI and II on the Wonderswan Color. I think that FFII is especially good -- I love the atomsphere, characters, music, and the unique battle system that spawned the SaGa games. I like the old Dragon Quest games too, but I agree that the menu system is awkward to use. I keep on trying to talk to the stairs, forgetting that I have to use the climb option.

[RugalSizzler]

Shin Megami Tensie

Use the regular RPG board game style of gaming but in a Futuristic or Post apocolypic era. The game is popular among Japanese for years and could be conisidered the eqaul to Phantasy Star for the SNES.

The game itself has many diffrent variations, prodogies, and remakes. The original was on the NES and over the years the game play has not changed for the most.

While using the original FPview prospective for a realisitc view like Phantasy Star use. Shin Mega Ten use a representive map to show where you are going most of the time.

The Saturn has Soul Hackers and the PSX has Dark Messiah. Both series is just another variation of the original games.

[Eternal Tune]

Phantasy Star for the SNES.


??????????

Wha?

[Chainsaw_Charlie]

1.Suikoden 1
2.Alundra

5.Dragon Warrior 7

Honorable Mention
Koudelka
Saiyuki Journey West
Final Fantasy 9
Wild arms 2

[Daria]

...and the PSX has Dark Messiah. And the Persona spin-offs.

Tune: I think he ment that Shin Megami Tensei is the SNES equivilent of Phantasy Star.

[veronica_marsfan]

5 Parasite Eve 1
4 Xenogears
3 Chrono Cross
2 Final Fantasy 9 (yes I like this better than 7)
1 uh..... ran out..... I'm not a big RPG fan

[starfox316]

I got powned... = (


top 5 favorite rpg character's!!!:
1. Sephiroth- he's a goth hottie. He's just really dark, just like me. His parent's probably hated him and I have that same problem, we just connected on so many levels. i wish he was real...
2. Cloud- DUUUUHHHH!!!!!!!! He's ONLY just the main character to one of the best video games for any system ever!!!!
3. Tifa- She has really big boobies and I used to touch myself to her battle graphic.
4. Barrett- he was soooooooooooooooo funny! I also liked his guns for arms!!!!
5. Yuffie- I usually dress like her on otacon day!



some stupid fucks nit-pick the shit out of everything for lack of anything positive or relaxing to say. sorry I didn't add to the seemless efficiency of this extremely structured and extremely serious web site. I had better think twice next time I post, I apologize.

[Gentlegamer]

Here's a somewhat related question:

Are there any even remotely "open ended" type RPGs for the original PlayStation? Games that are closer to Morrowind and Oblivion than Final Fantasy?

[goemon]

Here's a somewhat related question:

Are there any even remotely "open ended" type RPGs for the original PlayStation? Games that are closer to Morrowind and Oblivion than Final Fantasy?

Some of the Japanese games I mentioned are fairly non-linear, like Cielgris Fantasm and First Queen IV. There's an ultimate goal in them (get to Balthia, save your friend, etc) but how you do it is up to you.

SaGa Frontier is very open ended too, and gets a lot of undue hate because it isn't Final Fantasy VII. There are seven characters whose stories overlap, and you can play them in whatever order you want. Many of the individual quests are completely non-linear -- you can go wherever you want and do whatever you want.

[Chaz From Phantasy Star 2]

Tales of Destiny II - Good game. :P

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

[shopkins]

1. Suikoden
2. Saga Frontier (my most played PSX RPG by far)
3. Suikoden II (its better than the first, the original wins because of nostalgia and story, mainly. I love Gremio. I named my castle Gremio Castle, which actually made Gremio happy in the game)
4. Lunar Silver Star Story Complete
5. Legend of Legaia

Honorable mention to FF Tactics and FF VII and VIII. Also, I think I would have put Grandia on my top five but I've yet to get around to playing it, yet.

[Mark III]

Here's a somewhat related question:

Are there any even remotely "open ended" type RPGs for the original PlayStation? Games that are closer to Morrowind and Oblivion than Final Fantasy?

Closest thing were probably the King's Field games as well as Shadow Tower, which I believe was also made by the same team. They're the closest thing you'd find to Morrowind on the PS1. They also all have the distinction of being terrible.


5. Dragon Warrior VII - My favorite game in the entire series. Good long RPG with a ridiculous amount of optional side quests and hidden town & Dungeons to explore.
4. Brigandine - Excellent strategy/RPG-ish game. Make sure to turn battle animation off though or the game will plod along at a wounded snail's pace
3. Final Fantasy Tactics - Tactical RPG at it's finest. Skip the GBA one though.
2. Suikoden II - Very good but plot tends to drag in some places
1. Suikoden - Short but well paced, still the best in the series

[Daria]

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.

:eek 2:

[Chaz From Phantasy Star 2]

Fine I will... but you need to brush up on your manners, Daria........ and don't accuse something with 3000 posts less than you of being a spammer....

Anyway these are my top five.

5. Threads of Fate
4. Final Fantasy 7
3. Tales of Destiny
2. Legend of Dragoon
1. Xenogears

[Eternal Tune]

Fine I will... but you need to brush up on your manners, Daria........
I'm sorry, but there is no known way of being nice while saying "you sir are a dumb ass."

[Icarus Moonsight]

:above me: Can't help but laugh at the truth sometimes. :)

@starfox316: Your last post (character list) is making determining your gender very errrm... difficult. Way, repeat, WAY too much information.

To form a list of my own I have to stretch things a little bit. There won't be five I assure you.

Front Mission 3 Mechs, guns and strategy! Oh my. Que Stan Lee, "Nuff said."

Valkyrie Profile Gorgeous hand-drawn sprites, side-scroll action/platform dungeons, rich story and real time battle system add up to one awesome game. I just recently got my mitts on a copy so it may knock FM3 down a slot in the future.

Legend of Mana Not as good as Secret IMO but, better than Sword... and I liked Sword. Skill system was something that stood out early on. I quite liked that.

Final Fantasy Tactics I've had this game for six years and have yet to finish it. It's more my fault though, I have a hard time committing to games as long as Tactics. When I do play it I have a ball. Throw stone FTW!

That's all the RPG/ish games I own. Maybe throw in Persona (series) to round out to five. Perhaps even Xenosaga. Won't know for sure until I find 'em and bag 'em.

[petewhitley]

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.

[j_factor]

1. Persona 2
2. Persona
3. Final Fantasy Tactics
4. Front Mission 3
5. Saga Frontier

I never understood why everyone hated Saga Frontier.

[Damaramu]

Well, here's my top 5 (in no particular order):

Grandia
Front Mission 3
Thousand Arms
Valkyrie Profile
Vandal Hearts

[Neo Rasa]

Brigandine
Front Mission 3
Persona 2: Eternal Punishment
Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together
Vagrant Story

[starfox316]

@icarus moonsight- yeah, man sorry for the confusion. I was using sarcasm/humor to respond to an earlier bullshit post someone dropped. Thanks for your list and contributing. I have a running list from all of you guys of the rpg's I need to pick up this month. I gotta stock up, as you guys know summer is coming and it's time to hold up in the dungeon with the tv and games until the sun goes away ; )

Im a guy, but hopefully preference shouldn't be applied first and foremost when identifying gender.


P.S. does anyone have a complete Lunar Silver Star Story Complete set? I beleive it came with a cloth map and cd/dvd and whatnot. just wondering if any completes are floating around still intact.

[Blackcrow]

5. Final Fantasy Tatics
4. Wild Arms two (I hardly know anyone who likes it :eek 2: )
3. Final Fantasy VII (Even if I do play it more than the others. I just happen to love the music.)
2. Front Mission 3
1. Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete

If I had to pick my top 5 any system/computer though

5. Final Fantasy (NES)
4. Fall Out (PC)
3. Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete (PSX)
2. Baldur's Gate
1. Ultima V/VII (PC)

Edit @ Starfox316
I've seen maybe two complete sets in my area for sale, one used and one new. I wish I would of picked them up though as my copy has been stolen off me.

[starfox316]

damn homie, that's a pain! Just as a reference point, how much were they asking for those completes? I haven't seen one since shortly after it came out, someone must have traded one in up at Babbage's but that was like 6+ years ago. I friggin' knew I should have picked it up then.

[Blackcrow]

Used was $32 and the new one was going for $60

[Raedon]

Bwahahahaha!!!

[Manhattan Sports Club]

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.)

[The Adventurer]

Bwahahahaha!!!

You have 8000+ posts.

Why the FUCK would you bump a 7 year old thread for that?

[Manhattan Sports Club]

Just a note to anyone who finds my taste questionable: That list was meant partially in jest, but some of them really are underrated or misunderstood like Chocobo's Dungeon 2 or Shadow Madness. Never got far in any of the Wizardry games to be honest! ROFL

[xelement5x]

You have 8000+ posts.

Why the FUCK would you bump a 7 year old thread for that?

Because you can?

DP seems to have a hardon for not making new threads anyway and wanting you to ALWAYS bump an older thread if it's relevant so I don't see the problem.

[Daria]

You have 8000+ posts.

Honorable mention to vagrant story and front mission 3, wasn't sure if everyone in here could agree on vagrant story being an rpg or not and front mission 3 had shitty characters, shitty dialogue and a not so memorable story but the fucking gameplay hooked me for over 100 hours in just 1 scenario.would have mentioned xenogears but that game is crazy overrated also wanted to add parasite eve 1 but couldn't decide where to put it so I said fuck it, you're going here
