Favorite RPG for the ps1

[chambersoul]

hey whats up, name is Awne, and im new to these forums.

Im sure you all have discussed this before, but i was wondering, what is your favorite RPG for the ps1?

you can only pick one!

mine has to be Breath of Fire 3

I know ff7 was a great game, but breath of fire 3 was my first RPG of all time, it was a major stepping stone for me in gaming. Turning into crazy dragons, fighting your best friend. the game was epic, and the boss battles were the best.

We sure did.

Dunno who decided to fuck this thread up, but the first post is a list we made of our favorite PSX games, including, of course, RPGs.

so its only natural that we have another one! XD

Sonic Chronicles when it is released is my favorite RPG (WOW WHEN DID WE GET THIS EMOTICON?!!)

It's a pretty hard call to make for me, I enjoyed so many of them so damn much! I suppose I really loved the suikoden series....I was so dissapointed when I got suikoden III and it was 3d!! While some games are meant to have the very best graphics(like elder scrolls) I think 2d has a special place in rpgs and I'm really saddened by the transition.

I'm an oddball on this issue because I love Final Fantasy VIII.

Me too! And of course Vagrant Story and Legend of Dragoon coz this one was my first RPG ever

Ff9

Um, I dislike RPGs with a passion, so I guess my closest choice would be Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, what with its RPG elements and whatnot.

I like FFVIII plenty. I just don't think it's among the best games in the series. Still a lot of fun, though. More than anything, I think I'm annoyed at how much the story falls apart after the second disc. At least in my eyes. I really, really love the first two discs, but I always find myself losing interest after that when I go to replay it. It felt like they threw in a bunch of unnecessary plot twists just because they could, when the game had been nice enough up until that point without them. And it just made the game such a mess to me. I love complex plots, but not when everything just...doesn't seem to mesh.

Actually, I hated the final acts of the game so much that I went away hating it completely the first time. Now I just try and forget about it, and focus on how much I liked, and still like, its opening half~

After saying that Final Fantasy VIII falls apart in its latter segments, and thus I don't like it as much as I might, it's probably a bit hypocritical to say that my favourite Playstation RPG is Xenogears. XD 'LOL budget-cut second CD' and so forth. Still, it's one of only a few games that I can safely say I will never forget. The gameplay is fairly standard RPG stuff, and the pixel-y sprites are pretty hideous. But the whole setting is so immaculately detailed, the plot is completely engrossing, and the level of development given to a bunch of its side characters exceeds that given to most other RPG leads. Which is saying nothing of the main character himself. I was having a pretty bad time in my fifth year of high school when I first discovered the game, and it kind of just...swallowed me up completely. I used to skip school and play it. Somehow I still can't make myself regret that~

Also, the soundtrack is maybe my favourite game soundtrack ever. <3 Yasunori Mitsuda.

You're so mean, forcing me to pick just one. I also really love Vagrant Story for its wonderful storyline, gameplay, and soundtrack, Final Fantasy VII for the point in my life at which I first played it, and the importance it took on as a result, the Lunar games and Grandia for their charming casts and light-hearted, adventurous atmospheres, and Suikoden II for its completely engrossing narrative, for the wonderful relationship portrayed between its three lead characters, and for one of the best game villains ever.

Also also Valkyrie Profile. It has been engraved upon my soul. *mentally high-fives Danny and Elmdor*

I'd have to say FF VII without a doubt.

If we're counting remakes (or ports) then I'd have to say Chrono Trigger. Still my favorite game of all time

Meh. CT is also my favorite RPG of all time, but compared to games originally made for PSX, it's a bit slow and dated.

True, but maybe I enjoy it on the PSX because of the added cutscenes and the fact that I never managed to beat it on SNES
