DQ 8 I'm still not done yet so I cant put it higher yet.

Beaten others but for me they don't deserve to be on the list.

Glad to see someone else who likes Shadow Madness.

Heh. I hated Shadow Madness the first time I tried it. Thought it was ugly, put it aside and play Star Ocean instead. Eventually I went back to it though, once I got based the butt ugly polygons I found I really enjoyed the characters and the dialouge. Game was extrememly well written and actually very funny. I'm really glad I gave it that second chance.

Wow no Suikoden II love?

Suikoden II > FF7 :P (IMHO)


PSX:
Alundra
Arc the Lad
Final Fantasy VII
Final Fantasy IX
Lunar
Lunar 2
Parasite Eve
Persona 2
Suikoden
Suikoden II

PS2:
Dragon Quest VIII
Kingdom Hearts
Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne
Suikoden IV
and Maybe Suikoden V (need to finish it)

But that's just out of what I have played, I'm sure I have missed some stuff... :)

Cheers,
Ben

I don't play many RPGs so this list won't be long.

Not necessarily from best to worst.

Valkyrie Profile
Disgaea
BoF: Dragon Quarter - I'm surprised so many people listed this one so far. I never thought it was popular.
Alundra
Persona 1/2
Final Fantasy Tactics
Final Fantasy 7
Dragon Quest VIII
Grandia 1/2
Dark Cloud 1/2 - The game is kind of meh now but it reminded me of those old dungeon crawlers I used to play when I was a kid.
Suikoden - I'm still looking for the second one. :)
Everblue 2

Final Fantasy VIII -- best RPG on both systems.
Final Fantasy IX -- 2nd best RPG on both systems.

Phantom Brave, Final Fantasy X, Final Fantasy X-2 and FF Tactics were all good. Dark Cloud was as well.

Really can't come up with any more titles. I like the original playstation RPG's more than the PS2. The first 4 are the only games I liked a lot. Some reason I enjoyed BoF DQ just about more than any game I listed.

Final Fantasy VIII -- best RPG on both systems.

Brave man. It's nice to see some FF8 love on here once in awhile.
