[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.

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.
