Name your favorite PS1 RPG. Only one!

You heard me, ONLY ONE! Some comment as to why you chose it would be nice.

Mine’s Vagrant Story, hands down.

Played it for the first time last month – yeah, I was nine years late – on my PS2 and it was mindblowing amazing. The cinematique, story, music, script, scenario, complex and engaging battle system made me love this game like no other, as well as recognize it as marvelous achievement on the hardware. I was so overall amazed by all its depth that when I think back, it’s even hard for me to remember it was not a PS2 game, lol!

In short, I’d say it was one of the games that reminded me why we, gamers, still play RPGs.

So, what’s yours?

Damn thats a tough decision! great topic!

lets see……. I will go with

Xenogears, but Suikoden 1 being a close 2nd!

It came down to the Lunar and Suikoden series, but I’ll go with Suikoden II.

By the way, I stopped playing Xenogears about a year ago, around where you have to fight in a tournament, but maybe I’ll pick it up again based on that recommendation.

Chrono Cross

And the reason is because it is so epic. The score is one of the best out there, the CG cut scenes are amazing, the story, the replay value, combat system… do you want me to continue? It’s just a great game and it’s actually the only PS1 game that I own because I recently purchased it off eBay w/ the strategy guide because I was feeling nostalgic.

Final Fantasy VII

Xenogears

Final Fantasy VII
I knew it!

I guess Final Fantasy VII IV

I knew it!

I guess Final Fantasy VII IV

Technically thats SNES, why dont u pick a PS1 Exclusive?

Xenogears is worth finishing! yes I know, it took me a whole year to gruel through it but its def worth!

KOUDELKA with no hesitation :naughty:

Final Fantasy VII

Koudelka was one of my favorites too.

Anyone remember IQ or Kurushi? Not an RPG but fuck that PS1 game was leet.

I did like vagrant story to a point, that point being the stupid town with the streams that i cant find my way past or was it the sigil key or something….. dont remember, reminds me of a stop and start version of FF12 or WoW anyways.

I’d say 7 or 8 but they were PC games before they were PS1 games, hence why u still see the midi files still flying around. So if ur gonna be ps1 exclusive locke, ud better have a go at half of us here.

And 6 was rereleased on PS1 along with anthology and origins, so id let her away with it. only one missing for sony but reclaimed for nintendo was 3.

Technically thats SNES, why dont u pick a PS1 Exclusive?

Ok, Ok….

Final Fantasy VII…..

lol, HER.

Also, he said IV, not VI. So it’s Chronicles.

and there’s the one we don’t understand but who was excellent,it’s samourai shodown RPG on NEO-GEO;shame they don’t put english subb

there were a LOT of pretty good rpgs for this system, its hard to pick just one….but i would go with xenogears just b/c i remember it the most (and i probably remember it the most cause it was a friggin timesink)

anybody ever play the persona games for this system? i never did, just wondering if they were as good as the newer ones

I really enjoyed FF VII and Valkyrie Profile, as well though. Tough choice :O

Chrono Cross

And the reason is because it is so epic. The score is one of the best out there, the CG cut scenes are amazing, the story, the replay value, combat system… do you want me to continue?

Anyone remember IQ or Kurushi? Not an RPG but fuck that PS1 game was leet.

Was Kurushi the game where these blocks were rolling towards you and you had to make them vanish by placing something on the floor?

I only played the demo of it but thought it was good.

FFIX

Ok, Ok….

Final Fantasy VII…..

Haha cool.

I just started Grandia earlier today – nostalgic reasons, anyone dig that one?

I’d say 7 or 8 but they were PC games before they were PS1 games, hence why u still see the midi files still flying around.

Final Fantasy VII (ファイナルファンタジーVII, Fainaru Fantajī Sebun?) is a console role-playing game developed by Square (now Square Enix) and published by Sony Computer Entertainment as the seventh installment in the Final Fantasy series. It was released in 1997 for Sony’s PlayStation and in 1998 for Microsoft’s Windows-based personal computers.

Final Fantasy VIII (ファイナルファンタジーVIII, Fainaru Fantajī Eito?) is a console role-playing game released for the PlayStation in 1999 and for Windows-based personal computers in 2000.

ORLY?

Haha cool.

Love the theme song. That’s another one I started but never finished.

Same here, ‘im started it up today to play it till end

I absolutely love every game mentioned in this thread so far.

Xenogears.

I imagine it was built on a PC, but released first? Proof please.

Xenogears.

The PSX was the golden age of RPG’s, and the SNES years!

I totally agree with doomjockey and you as well. Also, my favorite rpg is xenogears too for the ps2.

Ditto.

Every game is built is on a PC.

Was Kurushi the game where these blocks were rolling towards you and you had to make them vanish by placing something on the floor?

I only played the demo of it but thought it was good.

Yes, that’s the one. Was very awesome. 🙂

if u liked grandia, u must play grandia 2…a classic

i have it for pc, but i think it was on ps2 also

Grendia II was amazing. Had a really enjoyable time playing it.

Jade Cocoon. My favourite game ever.

I’m definitely trying out Vagrant Story and Xenogears when I have time, though.

I have Grandia II, not as good as one but worth a play through.

Every game is built is on a PC.

That was why I mentioned it. And sadly, not everyone knows this.

Wow, I can’t believe I didn’t notice that typo…

Too late to change now!

Suikoden V.

^^^Was that on the PS1?

Typo.

Meant Suikoden II.

My bad.

My fave was Final Fantasy Viii

Anyone ever play Hoshigami?

Never heard of it before.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mTbnU5pvWdQ

Looks like Final Fantasy Tactics.

Never heard of it before.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mTbnU5pvWdQ

Looks like Final Fantasy Tactics.

Hoshigami Ruining Blue Earth, I think thats the full title, yes its a tactics game. Very VERY Difficult. I beleive it was re-released on the DS a few years back, worth a play through, I have the PSX version.

FFVII

I don’t think Xenogears was ever released in the uk, or the chrono series

Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain
Released: Nov 15, 1996

This is probably my favorite role playing game growing up. Sure i love the final fantasy stories but this was the first real vampire game i got to play. It had a great story if you can follow it and understand as I know it could be confusing. Plus it was an open ended world with many secrets and places to explore. Personally my favorite part was during this big war that happened in the game it was pretty sweet. The rest of the Legacy of Kain games are alright but this is the original and is just amazing and has great voice acting. truly great rpg of the PS1 era.
Some places have it listed as Action/Adventure while other list it as RPG, which i’m quite sure it is an RPG.

I’m okay with people calling the final fantasy series and its ilk RPGs since they are almost exclusively advertised/sold as such (even if they are technically jrpgs), but I’ll never understand why people call games like Zelda "RPGs" or in this case, Legacy of Kain. Hate to pull a prak here, but why are you quite sure its an RPG?

Just basically from what an rpg is defined as for example the PC, gets more power as the story progresses, sure Legacy of Kain didnt use a level system, but your health and mana grow as well. You gain powers from defeating bosses, you also adopt the role of a character, there’s the main story quest, as well as finding all the secret locations. Sure it doesn’t have the menus like a FF battle, its more real time but i don’t think you can call a game an rpg cuz it has some battle menu. Your assuming the role of a fictions character in a fantasy world isn’t that what some Role Playing Games are? or am I wrong? please enlighten me if I am. I get my sources from various people and sites, i mean is WoW not an rpg it is live action battles but i do believe there is some sort of system working there b/c the character will wait but its not set up the older FF games.

I say Legend of Dragoon. I liked the addition system, plus everything in the game was just so shiny.

prak would probably be more articulate in the definition of an RPG. And what exactly RPG has become to mean (in terms of jRPGs). The "role" of a pre-made character is not a role at all, in terms of RPGs. I guess as far as the definition has been stretched, there’s no reason an action/adventure game can’t be lumped (inaccurately) into the same category. Games like Fallout or the Elder Scrolls series are RPGs because you create the character and essentially *are* the character. Final Fantasy and the ilk have either silent protragonists or characters with prescripted dialog who can select from a limited number of story-line options but you’re still essentially just watching a script unfold by moving a dude from point a to point b. RPGs, in the sense of jRPGs, come from the interpretation of: levels + skills [strength, intelligence, whatever] = RPG. In that sense, WoW is an RPG and possibly even more so than FF or other jRPGs because at least you have more control over who your character is, what he says, what he does, etc.

Prak and a couple others are more sticklers for this than I am. I’ve always argued in threads like this that when someone asks "what’s your favorite RPG" they are generally referring to jRPGs and so I overlook the misnomer, since even in game stores, Final Fantasy or Chrono Trigger are listed as RPGs. For someone unfamiliar with the true RPG genre, how should they know the difference? But it seems weird to me to be like "well even though people call it action/adventure, i’m certain its an RPG!" Hell, you could argue that bubble-bobble is an RPG because you control one character and he has health/life points that go down.

Well not only did i say people call it action/adventure on sites it’s also listed as rpg. When i think to action/adventure i think of like tomb raider, and games like drakes fortune. But I had never known of Jrpg i’m assuming its Japanese RPG? I just always viewed Rpgs as Rpgs no Jrpgs or w/e and that some games were more rpgish then other like TES or Fallout. Then, with your theory on a true rpg is were you create your own character and stuff couldn’t Madden, WWE, UFC 2009, or any other sports game where you can create a person be labeled as that? You follow a story, You gain attributes, You get more powerful so would this be classified as Sports RPG? Im not trying to be a dick i’m just stating my view on it if you classify an rpg as you ARE the character you create.

I’m probably a bit inarticulate on my definition of an RPG. When I first started playing video games, I was unfamiliar with pen & paper stuff, which is where the term RPG even comes from. The essence of an RPG is not the stats or the levels or even the character creation (that’s my own error in emphasizing that in my previous post), but rather the interactions your character has with others (this I did reference in my previous post when talking about the lack of any meaningful interaction in most jRPGs or action/adventure games).

You can’t really argue what a true "role-playing game" is. The definition has been bastardized and changed over time and allows for a ton of other genres to fit the category. The more its inaccurate definition changes, the more games/genres get tacked under the title of "RPG". FF and LoK are probably just as far apart from a "true RPG", but FF at least falls more properly under the standard "incorrect" definition of RPG (jrpg). I don’t know how Tomb Raider (or any other action/adventure game) is different from Legacy of Kain, really, as far as your definition. ie. why call one an rpg and the other action/adventure?

I’m mostly just nit-picking. ;o

I feel like a bit of a hypocrite for always arguing with Prak about him getting on people’s backs about this. I guess I have been more enlightened recently :O I should dig up some of his posts because they express the whole thing a lot more clearly than I can.

I know about the pen & Paper stuff as I use to own D&D stuff as well as other games like it.
Well with tomb raider i haven’t played it since that anniversary edition had come up. But as far as I remember LoK was different in the way you (not the fact that one is slightly more realistic then the other in sense of vampire/human) did the quests, find relics to increase your power. W/ tomb raider it was like go into this cave run from wolves, watch out for the weird t-rex and kill the butler in the training room.
Well whatever the case is some people find it RPG other find it action/adventure, my point of view its rpg, it was my favorite ps1 rpg and that’s basically it. lol

Stat advancement (in whatever form), equipment systems, or particular gameplay mechanics (e.g. menus), are not what makes an RPG.

The ability to make meaningful choices (e.g. resulting in significant plot consequences), regarding those whose roles you have assumed, is what makes an RPG.

I would argue that Blood Omen – Legacy of Kain is not an RPG. The player has virtually no significant choices outside of combat, and the plot will playout the same regardless of what the player does. Kain holds the same opinion, states the same lines, and works twoard the same goals, via mostly the same methods, regardless of player input. If there is any character development (outside of game mechanics), it’s well out of the player’s control.

I think "acton/dventure" fits the game perfectly. It has a story and setting to explore, as well as combat oriented gameplay.

Personally, I think it’s a great game, but it’s not really an RPG. That said, role-playing is what one does, not what something is. With the right mind set, you can take on, and play, the role of just about anything.

Alright then lol i will argue this from your argument. In Elder Scrolls: Oblivion, there is a story, and a setting to explore, as well combat oriented game play. So then is Oblivion a action/adventure too?
I agree with the ability to make meaningful choices
but in Blood Omen if i want to get technical you do have a
choice of an outcome at the end of the game. Sacrifice Kain, or Damn Nosgoth.
But your in the end i guess its what you believe it is and
that’s what i stated in my last post, its an rpg to me
and i couldn’t care what anyone said unless the maker
of the game came personally to me and told me otherwise.

Such categories need not be mutually exclusive. Oblivion can be called an action/adventure just as correctly as an RPG. There are also games that fit RPG better than Legacy of Kain that are also first person shooters.

Yes, Legacy of Kain does have a few choices and other RPG elements to it. So does Counter-Strike.

If we agree that the classification of a game is up to personal interpretation, why should the creator of the game (who never called in an RPG in the first place) saying otherwise sway your opinion?

Well they’re the ones who made it, and probably have an idea of what
they were aiming at when they made it. So I guess your right that if I thought it was an Rpg and the creators said it was not it wouldn’t matter. It doesn’t really matter anymore anyways this is my favorite rpg, end of story
thanks for different opinions and arguments lol.

There was a pretty comprehensive discussion about the matter of what constitutes a role-playing game a couple years ago. You can find it here (http://forums.ffshrine.org/showthread.php?p=609350). Reviving it probably isn’t a good idea, but you might find it interesting and informative.

Alright, i’ll take look thanks

It’s such a hard choice…

Castlevania : Symphony of the Night
Final Fantasy Tactics
Final Fantasy VII
Metal Gear Solid
Parasite Eve II

Out of them though… I’d probably vote for Final Fantasy Tactics.

Metal Gear is not a RPG….

Man, Tactics was so great.

Yeah, just copy pasted games from my top ten games of all time post lol.

Chrono Cross for me. FF7 probably comes close 2nd. Xenogears and grandia were great games too :}

I would have to say mine would have to be Legend of Mana or Chrono Cross. The music scores in both of them were amazing and they had me playing them over and over.

Tactics Ogre hands down.

Grandia!

The first Wild ARMs was a damn fine game. Definitely my favourite PS1 RPG.

Chrono Cross for me. FF7 probably comes close 2nd. Xenogears and grandia were great games too :}

damn, i would have had that the other way around for first and second.

both were fantastic rpgs, but FF VII had me gripped the whole way through as i felt i could start and stop chrono cross alot and come back to it at a later date. sadly i haven’t had the pleasure of trying xenogears and grandia just yet, but trust me i will. i played numerous other rpgs aswell like koudelka and the rest of the ps1 final fantasy series, but FF VII had me gripped to the end.

Drekast……

A tough one. Soul Reaver, FF VIII and Granstream Saga were the ones I liked most, but I guess I’d pick FF VIII in the end.

lol @ Soul Reaver being called an RPG

I can honestly say I never thoroughly played any RPG games for the PS1. I attempted FFVII, but got bored with it in the first 10 minutes or so. Just didn’t keep my attention.

Valkyrie Profile.

I played Wild ARMs before Final Fantasy VII, and that was a pretty good game. Graphically wise it was below average compared to FFVII and the music was really good that it got me hook to that composer (which slips my mind currently). Oh, I loved the story of Wild ARMs that I attempted a fanfic. That one name still lingers in my mind… Odoryuk.

Others (Final Fantasy VII of course is one of them):
– Grandia, I enjoyed on the Saturn even though it was ported to the PSX.
– Beyond the Beyond, only had good music to it.
– Koudelka, game I haven’t beaten because I kept freezing at a certain point.
– Persona 1, besides the english voices the story was good
– Saga Frontier, god dam this game was hard but the music was good.
– Legend of Dragoon, was sorta annoying at some points.
– Xenogears, an RPG that didn’t keep my interest that much but it was a new concept.
– Final Fantasy Tactics & Vandal Hearts was too hard for me to play.
– Rhapsody (Adventures of the Puppet Princess), way too fricking easy.
– Star Ocean: The Second Story, I loved that game.
– Tales of Destiny, didn’t interest me much.

JP games:
– Guardian Recall, Music is awesome
– Seishiroukan Princess of Darkness, I just leveled up my characters up and they were just strong.
– Madou Monotagiri (Puyo Puyo), fun game but beat it on Saturn.
– Little Princess, a little harder than Rhapsody but I beat it.
– Soukaigi (if I even consider this an RPG) was really hard.

I’m confused. So you just threw random games in there to talk about your inability to play them?

:colbert:

Mine would probably be Chrono Cross…I like the fact we are all Lavos Sperm…err…spawn. 😀

– Tales of Destiny, didn’t interest me much.

So why bring it up?

I’m also going to have to go with Chrono Cross.

While Persona 2, Final Fantasy Tactics, & Final Fantasy 8 are always on my ‘top games’ lists…

CC is the one I’ve played the most.
There’s just so much fun to be had with the game…and you can see up Kidds skirt.

:3

Well, it was Wild ARMs if you couldn’t figure it out. I guess my obligatory comment was trying to answering the non-existent ‘why’? Sorry.

Definitely FFVIII. Why? Cuz it’s better than the rest.

Definitely FFVIII. Why? Cuz it’s better than the rest.

That took a lot of thinking, just like your hogwash signature.

I never saw what was so wrong with FF8, it wasn’t as good as any otheres except for FFX. Shouldn’t have been dogged as much as it was though.

For me it’s a toss up between Final Fantasy IX and Suikoden. Final Fantasy IX loses points for getting a little too preachy at the end, but overall it’s forgivable because the game makes the whole "existing" storyline work because the characters are built in a somewhat realistic matter (from a personality standpoint). Lots of interaction between characters and time for them to grow makes it a relatable cast.

Suikoden just reeks of awesomeness. The only way to describe it is every RPG cliche done right. But somehow every town, character, and environment still manages to spark just the right emotions inside me to make me care. Couple that with the fun of building your castle and the mini-games….it’s a tough choice.

Final Fantasy IX wins out though, despite the Suiko-fanboywhore in me.

Suikoden just reeks of awesomeness. The only way to describe it is every RPG cliche done right.

Right on Bro

Final Fantasy IX.

‘Nuff said.

Final Fantasy IX.

‘Nuff said.

Is that only rpg you’ve ever played for PSX or is that your favorite?

mabey thats not ’nuff said.

Well, it was Wild ARMs if you couldn’t figure it out. I guess my obligatory comment was trying to answering the non-existent ‘why’? Sorry.

No apology necessary. I definitely understood Wild Arms. It was just that you mentioned good stuff about every game except Tales. So I got curious why it was there among the ‘favourites’.

Only one huh?

Well, out of all the RPG’s I’ve enjoyed, I’ll go with Xenogears. That game had a big impact on me.

Is that the only rpg you’ve ever played for PSX, or is that your favorite?

Maybe thats not ’nuff said.

It’s my favourite. Like the Thread Topic suggests.

And fyi, I’ve played all the FFs for PS1. I’m currently working through downloading and playing through all of the others, like Wild Arms, Suikoden, Lunar Star, etc. I’ve also played half of Vagrant Story (mediocre at best), and I’m currently playing the PSP remake of Star Ocean (First Departure), which is still technically a PS1 RPG. I’ve probably dabbled in others but my memory is hazy, it is 1:30 AM and I’ve been feeling light-headed all day anyway, so I cannot remember.

hmm let me think. Got it, BOF3. Ryu looked like an icecream as a kid, so i called him Mr Whippy on all my saves.

Gotcha.

first departure is a remake of the original star ocean, which was on super famicom and not translated/released to the US. Star Ocean: The Second Story (Second Evolution on PSP) was on PSX.

If this is a question of which game creates the most nostalgia for me then the answer is Final Fantasy IX. I just wish now, that during my 10-16 year old stage I had vested more interest in the likes of Xenogears, Chrono Cross and Vagrant Story, and not Final Fantasy VII. (Though on recollection, I did own a copy of Vagrant Story).

Anyway, vote for the worse game on the PS1 (which I also had) – Punky Skunk (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punky_Skunk).

first departure is a remake of the original star ocean, which was on super famicom and not translated/released to the US. Star Ocean: The Second Story (Second Evolution on PSP) was on PSX.

Ah, I see.

Star Ocean (Super Famicon) – Star Ocean: First Departure (PSP)
Star Ocean: The Second Story (PS1) – Star Ocean: Second Evolution (PSP)

Is simplez!

Thank you for clearing that up. I was under the impression SO1 was for PS1. Silly me.

Well, to be fair, I think the PSP version they updated the graphics and battle system stuff to make it virtually identical to the SO2 layout

Hehe~

Crafty Squeenix

Mind you, it’s a nice layout. Very easy to use, and very easy to get used to. Battles mainly consist of:

– Mash X
– Then again
– And again
– Consider pressing L or R to unleash a special attack
– Decide against it and just mash X again
– Victory! 300EXP and a Rusty Dagger obtained.

I’ll probably download the famicon version and see what it’s like. Even though it’ll all be in Japanese…

Final Fantasy 9 for me

There’s translations out for it, but yeah the voice acting remains in japanese and the names are different.

Thank you for all the info. =D

So many to choose from! But from the first time I played it, Xenogears has been in my heart. 🙂

my favorite RPG game is Chrono Trigger

mine is: FF VII (i???m not a fanboy and i know that it has some flaws, but it was the game that introduced me into the RPG world)

I think it goes without saying that Wild Arms 2 was fantastic.

I think it goes without saying that Wild Arms 2 was fantastic.

+1 The first two Wild Arms were awesome games.

yeah, after 2 the series lost it???s charm

I never played Wild Arms past 2. Are the rest that bad?

they aren???t that bad, but have change a lot (especially in the battle system) and you don???t feel the mystic the series had

Wild Arms 3 wasn’t too bad, it had its perks, after that though fuck – they just need to drop that franchise.

They really pushed to something completely different after 3.
Not even western themed.

They really pushed to something completely different after 3.
Not even western themed.

Right, but even beside that point, Wild Arms 4 was just really boring and just didnt seem to have the effort the first 3 did. And yes, the western theme was there unique thing, too bad they ditched it.

Anybody that has played Thousand Arm would know how much the ending sucked… but I did like the game though… it was alright.

you are right, the game was fun (the date sim was original and intersting), but the ending was really stupid and bland

I didn’t like the dating part at all. The Dating part was forced, you HAD to do ’em to get stronger weapons.

Anybody that has played Thousand Arm would know how much the ending sucked… but I did like the game though… it was alright.

I bought that game a while back because I knew it was rare, but haven’t played it yet haha.

SPOILER!!!!, you still wanna play it Locke? its a bad ending!

a really bad one!!

Shittiest ending!

a piece of crap, diarrhea dump

OK, I think he gets it.

Can smell that from my monitor, YUCK!!!
here more shit

Haha, mabey ill play it to the ending, and just not finish it! lol.

it???s the best thing you can do, the ending alone screws up all the game

gues you miss the point of completing the game, I like it.

I made home video last night in a hotel room with some girl that had a good ending.

*price is right fail tone*

Here comes a Brucie bonus, Guess you played your cards right.

yes?

Was Kurushi the game where these blocks were rolling towards you and you had to make them vanish by placing something on the floor?

I only played the demo of it but thought it was good.

LOL I still remember that demo it came with the playstation when you first bought it in 98/99, yes it was the rolling block game, lol kurishi.

The best PS1 RPG without a shadow of a doubt it is……Croc!

That’s an easy question:

Final Fantasy Tactics

Final Fantasy Tactics Hands Down!

I’ll be the first to actually say it out loud here I guess^^

We’ve had a couple good discussions about Saga Frontier in various threads here.

I didn’t see anyone saying SaGa Frontier was their favorite in this thread here. Maybe in others…

Ohh, you’re right 😛

Eshvoide wrote about it, my bad.

Saga Frontier is great

Parasite Eve

Parasite Eve 2…

Parasite Eve

XD a beautiful game, though Parasite Eve 2 was kind of a stretch from the original. As for me i would have to say…………………SUIKODEN 2!!!!!

As for Vagrant Story, i recently bought it only because it’s rare where i live and the whopping reviews i’ve read

Star Ocean the 2nd Story

Hey, people mentioned Vagrant Story. That’s all I needed. ^-‘)b

Man..a lot of good memories on PS1: Wild Arms, Vagrant Story, FFT, but my favorite would have to be Xenogears.

An rpg with giant robots? I knew what I was buying for my birthday.

Love Final Fantasy, but the game I will always come back to would have to be Chrono Cross. Out of all the rpgs I messed with, this one resonated with me greatly. That or Breath of Fire 4(that was a good game, even if the story comes together at the halfway point).

Suikoden II!!!

Suikoden 2!

Man I would seriously like to name one, but there are so many, PS1 is the best game console ever to me.

The Legend of Dragoon. Hell, I think that’s the only Playstation RPG I’ve played, sadly.

Star Ocean 2.

It’s FF IX for me, Chrono Cross is a close second and I’ve never beaten Vagrant Story, although from what I had played was good. I jusr kept getting stuck in the same spot and could never get passed it.

FFVII because that’s the only RPG ‘ve played on the PS1.

It my fave RPG overall though.

Probably FFVII

Chrono Cross.

Final Fantasy 7

Vandal Hearts.

Star Ocean 2.

Wins the thread.

Final Fantasy 7

Loses the thread.

Final Fantasy VIII….which is also my favorite game period 😀

Not to pick at anyone’s posts here, but there are many other RPG’s on the PSX/PS1 besides the FF series.

Ahhhhh he clearly must mean Chrono Cross.

Don’t get me started on Chrono Cross.

Yes, I remember that thread.

It’s quite possible we’ve played said other RPGs and still choose FF no? I have played Chrono Cross(which I love), but it doesn’t compare to FFVIII imo. Also, played many others, I stick by my previous post.

The Final Fantasy games are only a small portion of available RPG’s on the PSX. What annoys me is how some people think that only RPG’s (IE. The Final Fantasy Series) by Square are worth playing.

Put a spoiler tag on that shit man. I haven’t heard of half those games.

I will throw up some Front Mission 3, Legend of Legaia, Legend of Dragoon, and the Suikoden/Star Ocean/Lunar games though. Fantastic.

And you can’t possibly tell me you’ve played all those games, nor that all those games are worth playing. Just because Gamefaqs has a completed (is it?) library of ps1 rpg’s doesn’t mean that they are all worth the mention in a favorites thread.

Edit: And Breath of Fire is amazing.

I gotta be honest; the only PSX RPGs I’ve ever played are FF titles, so that’s all I have to choose from. Even Vagrant Story, the closest possible thing to one that’s not one, I’ve never played or even knew anything about until I read about it somewhere in this forum. I had a demo disc years back that included Brave Fencer Musashi that I always wanted to get, just could never find.

So, the answer I’m gonna have to go with here is FFIX.

I put that list there as a reference to all of the other RPG’s available for the PlayStation, NOT that I have played all of them. That list was just to refer to all of the other RPG’s available for the PSX/PS1. As I stated at the end of that post, the majority of people who I know myself, state a FF game as their personal favorite and have no idea of any other RPG’s available.

Some people play games with blinders on and are oblivious to any other RPG which isn’t made by Square.

Although not intentionally, I’m afraid I’m one of those people 🙁

gotta love over-generalizations 😀

Still pick FFVIII!!!

I have played The Legend of Dragoon, Chrono Cross, Xenosaga series, Jade Cocoon, Star Ocean series, Shadow Hearts, and many other RPGs and enjoyed them very much if that appeases you any…..vote still stands as previously posted. FFVIII is my favorite game of all I’ve played. Including non-RPGs.

All I am saying is this:

There ARE other RPG’s besides the FF games. That’s all. I am NOT attacking anyone for their opinion on what they consider the best or their favorite.

Sheesh.

My favorite would have to be Lunar Silver Star Story complete, though I wish I could find a complete copy for cheap. Otherwise that’s my pick.

Except for the fact that he’s usually right about that sort of thing.

Good damn luck with that, bro. I’m still kicking myself for parting with my copy of SSSC. I have EB, and it’s very charming and quite good, but it feels a bit like a rehash of SSSC.

Wins the thread.

Loses the thread.

Im sorry but FFVII is the only RPG i liked on PS1. Most of my other RPG’s I played are on N64, PS2, PS3, Xbox, and Xbox 360.

I do expand my tastes in games but most of the rpg’s I played were not on PS1 they were either on PS2, PS3, or Xbox 360.

back on PS1 I played mostly adventure and shooter type of games.

Yeah, wish I had Eternal Blue as well. Oh well, but definitely one of my favorite RPGs. Still love the theme song from the original Sega CD release. Might pick up for PSP but that limited edition still doesn’t hold a candle to Working Designs one.

Try Ebay (http://www.ebay.com). That’s where I got a lot of my games from.

No rush for them right now. Have played and beaten so I’m good for time being. Besides I got enough other games I want to get on my list.

Could also try Swapmeets, Flea Markets, Second Hand stores etc.

I got a mint condition copy of Super Empire Strikes Back from a secondhand store for 2$AUS. The Box was in new condition, the manual and even the safety manual Nintendo bundled with games back then, weren’t torn or falling apart. The game cartridge itself was still in the plastic wrap and the whole box was still shrinkwrapped.

I pissed off two of the clerks there, who wanted the game as well, when I bought it lol

Im sorry but FFVII is the only RPG i liked on PS1.

Because clearly, there hasn’t been any time at all to grab any games you may have missed since then. It’s not like ebay or Amazon exist. At any rate, newbies with Sephy usernicks, avas, and sig pics are easy targets–perhaps too easy.

Again, good damn luck. I’m sure there are several copies of SSSC available, but you’ll be paying out the nose for one. Last time I looked, which admittedly is a long time ago, copies were going for 70+ USD.

I agree completely. With Ebay, it’s a game of luck to get what you bid on.
I just did a search on Ebay (http://www.ebay.com) and found Lunar Silver Star Story Complete (http://video-games.shop.ebay.com/?_from=R40&_trksid=m38&_nkw=Lunar+Silver+Star+Story+Complete&_sacat=1249), about thirty copies for sale, ranging from 30$USD to 200$USD. So it depends mainly on A: How badly you want it and B: How much you’re willing to spend to get it.

Yeah. The shape of the game is another consideration. An actual "complete" SSSC will go for probably twice as much as a non-complete. Then there’s whether or not the game is mint. But even with pictures, ebay sure can be like Forrest Gump’s box o’chocolates, iykwim.

I want one that is complete as possible but am in no rush for it. Like said…I’ve got plenty on my platter as is. Still got White Knight Chronicles & FF XIII to look forward to this next year. Also Dragon Quest IX whenever that is localized as well.

lmao just because I have a Sephiroth username and avy makes me some type of noob? That is kind of funny.

but yeah like I said most RPG’s I play are not on PS1. By the way FF games are not my favorite RPG’s.

Yet you are all decked out in Sephiroth gear?

Psycho was right, they are easy targets! 😀

No im not lol. Just cause I use the name/Sig/Avy does not mean a thing.

FF in general is an over rated series to be honest and there are way better game series then FF. FF is good but not the greatest.

lmao just because I have a Sephiroth username and avy makes me some type of noob? That is kind of funny.

Reading comprehension ftw, pal. I called you a newbie because of your two-digit post count. On a slightly related note, you may be surprised to find out how many FFVII fankids come through with Sephy usernicks, avvy’s, and/or sig’s. Many wind up leaving before their post count hits triple digits because the rest of FFS doesn’t care about their CloudxSephy yaoi fanfic or we don’t agree that ZOMG FFVII IS THE BESTEST EVAR or whatever fanwanking they spew here. With that in mind, many of us (us being shriners who’ve been around a while) see the Sephy kit and naturally assume that the owner is another one of ‘those.’ Basically, it’s guilty until proven innocent in the eyes of many of us. For what it’s worth, while you haven’t proven your "innocence," I at least have a reasonable doubt about you, iykwim.

No im not lol. Just cause I use the name/Sig/Avy does not mean a thing.

But the fact that you either went through the trouble of making them/stealing them or you specially requested them from a av/sig maker buddy does say something.

What games do you overrate?

What games do you overrate?

FF games brah, duh.

:whatislove:

Honestly, after going back and playing a few of my "favourites" from back in the day, I’m fairly convince that this whole era was gut-wrenchingly awful. I guess I’m just not all that into JRPGs anymore.

What games do you overrate?

FF7 is over rated along with every FF game. There are way better RPG’s then FF.

No, I asked which games do you overrate. You personally, not which games you think other people overrate.

FF7 is over rated along with every FF game. There are way better RPG’s then FF.

Dude, no offense but, you keep changing your opinions it seems. First you’re 100% pro-FFVII, now you state that it’s overrated. To be honest, I have only ONE friend in real life who’s even into FF games. Nobody else I know is. So, I really can’t agree with ya that FF is overrated when only 1 out of 10 people you meet is into them :-/ It’s sad but true, but I can assure you the FF series is not overrated. VII is overrated among FF games, that’s all.

No, I asked which games do you overrate. You personally, not which games you think other people overrate.

Which games I overate? Not too many but the games that I overate would probally be the series from microsoft called Halo. That is one of the most over rated games in my opinion. I don’t really overate any RPG’s though.

@everyone else-FF7 will always be my favorite RPG on PS1 and nothing will change that.There is nothing u could say that would stop me from liking FF7. It is my opinion not yours. Dont like that I like FF7? Too damn bad.

No im not changing my opinions on the FF games or FF7, People say FF7 is over rated but it is not. If you say FF7 is over rated might as well say the whole series is over rated.

:seriously:

:seriously:

Yes seriously. Thats how I view it. FF7 is definitely not over rated.

But anyway lets just drop this cause it is pointless.

By the way FF games are not my favorite RPG’s.

Yes I did say FF7 is over rated, but that was because you people was saying it was over rated which I believe to be false. I said it was over rated because you people said it was over rated and cry cause the game is "over rated" which some of you say and I know it is not.

Anyways, I don’t care what people say about FF7. At least people at FFF and FFR people do not bash you for liking FF7. Here you get bashed for liking FF7 lol stupid.

You have your opinion about FFVII. Everyone else has their own opinion of FFVII. From my perspective, FFVII is overrated, and I do have my reasoning for that.

However, I will not go into detail about those reasons in this thread. I have already stated my feelings about FFVII in threads in the FFVII forum section. So let’s not derail this thread anymore. Any conversation about FFVII, whether for or against it, please take it to the relevant forum section.

That’s true, and I’m not faulting you for that. However the thread conversation has veered towards focusing on FFVII as a whole now and you have been targeted due to how your posts have been worded.

PROTIP: If something like this happens towards you again Sephiroth_, you have some options open to you. A: Ignore it. Don’t let it get to you, and they’ll move on. B: If it gets to personal of an attack, report it to a Moderator of that forum section. Don’t respond in kind, as that just perpetuates the cycle.

I personally like VII, and I think it is overrated.

But you implied that you knew it wasn’t overrated, that that was a factual statement. It’s opinion, not fact that it is/isn’t overrated.

That’s why I was posting that, because of the overall smugness of your views towards those that don’t bow with you for VII.

Also, you’re not posting on FFF or FFR, so fuck them.

Okay, I see. Well, I do not praise FF7 or anything like that like it is no.1.

Well you didn’t have to say "fuck them" about FFF and FFR. I don’t actually go to FFR but do go to FFF.

I meant that more jokingly than it came out, but I forgot to use my 😀 to do it. I haven’t even visited those forums ever I don’t think, but fuck ’em.

….:D

So…you agreed with a statement because more people said it was overrated than not, then you said it again because of some imaginary crying about it, and now you’ve grown a spine and now disagree because you say so? Oooooookay.

Funny, I don’t see where anybody actually "bashed" you for liking FFVII. If you call a "loses the thread" comment "bashing," then you won’t last long here, unless the mods have seriously cracked down on the vitriol. At any rate, I will bash you for being a contentious twat by completely ignoring an olive branch offered in your general direction and then pretending to be the victim of some imaginary flame campaign launched against you for the most spurious of reasons.

Hypocrit party!!! :D:D:D:D

Lol, I like you. Moar posts pl0x.

Sephiroth_, I never intended to come as hostile to you if that’s the way it seemed; I simply am trying to help you keep your statements straight. Nothing I’ve said to you was meant as a personal attack of any kind, so I hope you didn’t take offense to it. All I meant was that your view seems to shift a little with every post, and keeping up with it all becomes a little tough. If FFVII is your favorite FF, then there is nothing wrong with that. To each their own. Just bear in mind that you’ve come off as a little opinionated and brash, not necessarily to me in particular, but I’m only trying to help you out.

At any rate, I’ve already stated my answer to the initial question of this thread, and at this point I’m not going to post in this thread any further so as not to offset it any further.

To each their own. Just bear in mind that you’ve come off as a little opinionated and brash, not necessarily to me in particular, but I’m only trying to help you out.

At any rate, I’ve already stated my answer to the initial question of this thread, and at this point I’m not going to post in this thread any further so as not to offset it any further.

No, I didnt take it as offensive and I do appreciate you trying to help me out here.

So…you agreed with a statement because more people said it was overrated than not, then you said it again because of some imaginary crying about it, and now you’ve grown a spine and now disagree because you say so? Oooooookay.

Funny, I don’t see where anybody actually "bashed" you for liking FFVII. If you call a "loses the thread" comment "bashing," then you won’t last long here, unless the mods have seriously cracked down on the vitriol. At any rate, I will bash you for being a contentious twat by completely ignoring an olive branch offered in your general direction and then pretending to be the victim of some imaginary flame campaign launched against you for the most spurious of reasons.

Lol, I like you. Moar posts pl0x.

I am done arguing about this. it’s just pointless

Anyways, I know I said FFVII was only RPG I played on PS1 but there was another RPG i played on PS1 called Persona. Totally forgot about that one.

Mostly because I’m opinionated and I don’t like the game. Since you didn’t notice, I also made a comment about Chrono Cross. Why did you feel the need to apologize for being the token FFVII fan in a "fave rpg" thread and then lash out about it?

Also, don’t double post.

You know I don’t really know but im a just drop it.

Sorry bout the double post.

You actually didn’t say that. I’m actually not trying to argue now. One of my earlier posts has a quote from you only saying it was the only one you liked. While it seems a lot like splitting hairs, "only one I liked" and "only one I played" have totally different meanings. Anyway, I had a shitty night at work and I’m crashing.

Yeah, but I forgot about that RPG.

At the moment it’s FFIX. But only because I’m currently replaying it. I have a strong devotion to any Final Fantasy pre X. Except XII. Because Fran is that awesome.

Don’t get me started on Chrono Cross.

I want to get you started on Chrono Cross.

Right now its granstream saga…. Loving it, forgot how much fun the combat system was, and how much I liked walking around killing everything in my path like a badass.

The Legend of Dragoon was one of the few games i’ve played all the way through without stopping at some point, my fav ps1 rpg; in the final fantasy series it would be ff9

I want to get you started on Chrono Cross.

No, you seriously don’t. Last time I did, it got ugly. Funny as shit, but ugly.

I never got to play it. Heard some positive things about it. What’s it like?

No, you seriously don’t. Last time I did, it got ugly. Funny as shit, but ugly.

=(

Really?. I wish would have been there to watch that…

Tales of Destiny II (Eternia)

Final Fantasy Seven.

‘Twas my first real RPG…

Grandia I guess. Vagrant Story was nice too, the Playstation was really the golden age of boring jrpgs. All the RPGs I played on that machine seemed pretty samey to me, you were an orphan collecting orbs or whatever to restore world peace.

That sounds more likely NES & SNES

That sounds more likely NES & SNES

Well, I think 16 bits mastered that genre while Playstation just made it more boring and repetitive. I mean games like Faxanadu or Chrono Trigger were new and exiting back in the day but you can’t say the same about Vandal Hearts or Final Fantasy 8.

FFIX. I can’t say I really played many PS1 RPG’s though. I was more a Rayman and Crash Bandicoot kind of kid. But yeah, FFIX was my first FF and I loved it. It hooked me on the series and I’ve now played most of them. FFVII and FFVIII are also good PS1 RPG’s. just started Vagrant story which I bought off the PSN yesterday. Meh, story seems really good but really dark, not sure if good or bad yet. Battle system seems kind of lame but I’ll play more and see what I think.

Final Fantasy VIII. Still one of the best battle systems I’ve seen and the soundtrack is just amazing. Graphics are great for me even today. Story was meh, but who cares?

I think I’m opposite to you on that. I think the battle system is good but magic stocking becomes a chore and enemies levelling with you gives no incentive to try and become stronger. The story I feel is one of the best in FF (so far, I’ve just got to the part after the TV station incident in Timber, where you go to galbadian garden)

Story was meh in an RPG? Seriously? You though FF8 had so much to offer in the gameplay front so you just ignored the story? The story was crap, I do not play RPGs for a one dimensional love story, but the game play itself was terrible in FF8, the game just totalized the stupid soft gay story line they seem to do in every JRPG these days… I mean it’s not like that cool Hard Homosexuality like it was back in the 80s. The fucking linking/drawing magic was just stupid busy work. And you had to watch a tutorial on every fucking thing.

I mean Quistis was the only great thing in that game… Spank me teacher!

Recieved 4 Fires.

I agree about FF8 most shitful storyline ever in jRPG, Didn’t Played Faxanadu, but Chrono Trigger is awesome, but I didn’t feel that the RPG’s were mastered at SNES, I don’t know, I prefered Parasite Eve, Vagrant Story & FFT Storylines over the most RPG’s in SNES(I’m not Including Chrono Trigger, the aproach of the story in that game is just way to different in comparison to the most RPG’s of SNES), it’s just like that, 16 bit RPG’s storylines had a lot more MacGuffins in comparison to PSX, It’s just my experience, Of course there are a lot more stupid RPG’s than good in both Consoles, but everyone has his own choice to what pick up.
I think the really decay of the jRPG’s is the PS2, I mean we have out of the laboratory shitty games as FF X-2 & Shadow Hearts 2 & 3, very disturbing games.

My all time favorite is Breath of Fire 3

Final Fantasy IX, but thats probably because the only RPG i played on the ps1 is, Final Fantasy IX.

Why would that be the only reason?

Well, I actually really enjoyed the story of FF8 – for the first 2 discs. The first 2 have all kinds of epic sequences, including 2 of my favourites from any FF (Assasination attempt on Edea, and the Battle of the Gardens). The last 2 discs are just silly though, and focus almost exclusively on the dull Squinoa romance.

FF9 was a similar experience. I really enjoyed the first disc and a bit, but when you left the Mist Continent, the game plummets in interest. Seriously, the Mist Continent has loads of great locations and action sequences, but the outer continents… don’t. Being captured off-screen at the Desert Palace is still the biggest, lamest cop-out ever, too.

So I’ll be really boring and say FF7.

Oh Vry… You boring bored man… xD

Kinda thread necro oh well. I’m a sucker of the PS1, my fauvorite console ever.

I can’t name which one is my fauvorite, but you can throw a dice with these ones.

Final Fantasy VII, Vagrant Story, Parasite Eve, Final Fantasy Tactics.

Some Honorable mentions, Legend Of Mana, Chrono Cross, Suikoden I & II.

The only downsides for me with FFIX were, for one, after Disc 2 it seems that you’re taken too far out of your way and forced to take far too long to complete places that seem very trivial for their overtly long length. Oeilvert, Ipsen’s Castle, etc. The other is the DAMN SHIMMERING ISLAND!!! Once you’re in, there’s no turning back to level up, so if you’re not strong enough to fight your way through, you better start the hell over again ASAP. Yes, start THE WHOLE GAME OVER!!! I was fortunate enough to have a cousin who loves (well, at least loved) FF games many years back and helped me through the parts leading up to it so I was leveled enough. That was before I became good at RPGs. . . .

Final Fantasy VII no doubt about it.

Final Fantasy anything but VII no doubt about it.

I have to go with Tales of Destiny 2. The awesome story and side scroll action battles with a really nice soundtrack makes this game, in my opinion, untouchable.

So many games to list it’s very hard to narrow it down. I really want to say Xenogears but if I go by amount of time put into and amount of times replayed I will have to go with Final Fantasy Tactics.

Favourite RPG? If it wasn’t for the sheer overating of the FF series, I would have gone for FFIX. However, no matter how much I love that game (I actually love almost all FFs) It’s still overrated, and drives me off. So I’m going to say Digimon World 3 was my favourite RPG.

Digimon World 3? wow… That’s a different one.

I played that one & never finished it. I’ve got after you leave Amaterasu Server. Then my patience bar was empty after that.

well it hard to decide though,,

i’m gonna choose "tales of destiny 2", the battle, the story, skills, magic, it was awesome dude,,

but valkyrie profile, FFIX, FF VIII, Chrono Cross, Chrono trigger, are worth to play though,,

Legend of Mana. It had such an odd and charming world that sucked me right in. There were a lot of great rpg’s on the system.

yeah, i agree,,
i love the skills, everytime we used different weapon, a new skill appeared,,

Man it’s hard to pick between Final Fantasy 7 and Tactics. Both had excellent stories, but i’ll go with Tactics for the sheer fact it’s gameplay was as addicting as crack cocaine.

FFT has a storyline addicting as crack cocaine… XD

Definitely Chrono Cross
The Story, The gameplay, and the fact that there are so many characters!

Final Fantasy 7.

I looked back at the PS1 games I played back then, and noticed that I hardly got any RPGs for it. I lost interest in them at around that time, and I didn’t notice. I mostly got games in all other genres, like racing, action, sports, and platformers. None of the RPGs on the PS1 interested me. I didn’t get back into RPGs until I got a DS.

Digimon world… Only because I liked the way you trained the monsters.. Although I hated Pokemon and digimon a child that game was ok

Just the one? Suikoden II, hands down. Awesome story and gameplay (but crappy translation.)

Brigandine. I always find myself coming back to play it lol.

I think that I already posted my answer, I completely forgot 😛

Final Fantasy: VII

Plot: Everything started thanks to the greed of Shin???Ra (that happens in this world) then you go learning about life… I felt kinda jealous and sad >:,( because I thought that I was the only one who figured out something like the Lifestream (Gaia hypothesis)… Then after thinking a little bit more, I felt happy :3 because it was good to know that some people believes in that theory too.

Gameplay: Yes, the Final Fantasy style was lost (warriors, mages, thieves) but the Materia did everything easier, if you work hard you can get one free!

Characters:
*Cloud – I’d like to know what’s behind his crazyness, depression (whatever).
*Sephiroth – Schizophrenia? I’m sure that he’s not a mommy’s boy.
*Aeris – Isobel?

Bosses: Maybe the Weapons sympolize something, before the final boss… why did that thing looked like Jenova doll instead of Jenova? That One-Winged Angel looks really disturbing, once more, why did it have to look like that? There must be astronger reason than "it looks epic/cool."

The game didn’t get the best OST (FFIX did) but it has some good pieces. The game is great itself so stop debating the undebatable.

Final Fantasy IX. I’ve played it the most times and I still love it to death and never get sick of it.

Final Fantasy IX, since we are naming just one. My favorite RPG of all time, so how could it not be that. Characters, storyline, battle system, all awesome.

Xenogears.
Wish we had a more satisfying sequel than Xenosaga.
After all, at the end of the credits of Xenogears, they pulled a Star Wars and revealed that the game was Episode 5.

Lunar: The Silver Star

I just love this game! There are really good RPGS for PSX but this one won my heart. The music is so great and full of emotion, the characters are funny and develop as time passes and Kyle is one hell of a character. I just love the game and the series, I really hope Lunar 3 ever gets released ^^

FFIX great story, great characters and character development, simple gameplay, I really like that each character has a certain set of abilities, amazing soundtrack, great sidequests and mini games, and the references.

Final Fantasy VII
