You're making me choose between Star Ocean 2 and Suikoden 2?
You evil, evil individual..I hope you're happy.
Making me choose between like 2 of my favourite games ever.

Meh, Suikoden 2.

Haha i know this was REALLY hard for me too. I think i mite even rearange a few of those depending on how i'm feeling, but i'd say my top spot of chrono cross will remain the same.

Xenogears. I loved every minute of it, well, almost. I didn't like the slow dialog boxes; it just made the game way longer then it should've been. The story and the music are definetley of my top favorites, nothing yet comes close to my love for the amount of detail put into the game.

The battle system was also really fun, I really liked how it worked and the way it played out; especially summoning and fighting in gears in combat.

Breath of Fire 3: I loved this game, as is stated very plainly in my top 10 list of games. The Gene system was awesome, the look and feel was cool, and who doesn't like dragons? You would have to be, well, weird, not to like the theme of this game. The only thing going against it is the shortness of the game. You can beat the entire thing on your first playthrough in around 12-15 hours.
Xenogears: Mechs+RPG= fkin awesome. I probably wouldn't of given this RPG a second thought if it hadn't been for the mechs. While the storyline was somewhat cool, Mechs, and the decent battle system kept the game interesting.
Lunar series(?): I really have no idea why I liked these games so much, I just did, the story was pretty entertaining in both games, and kept me hooked all the way through.
Legend of Dragoon: Look at my name and ask me why I love this game, it has dragoons, and they are your main characters. But, instead of going traditional Dragoon Via FF-esq, they changed it into a more mystical thing, linking it to draconic spirits in stones/gems. The whole story was grandiose in nature, spanning from kingdom to kingdom fighting a whole ton of monsters and overthrowing kingdoms. The dragoon attack system being able to do more than one hit, and the normal attacks capable of being combo'd into (potentially) massive attacks was a different way to go into the RPG thing, and Sony pulled it off marvelously.

On a side note, I never really got the hang of the battle system in Chrono Cross, it just was, well, weird, and I really didn't like it, and it thusly pushed me away from the game itself.

I could only really vote for the Final Fantasy games other then Tactics, because they are the only one's I've played, so I went 7 as my top one. Considering all the good I've been hearing lately about how good Tactics is I think I'm going to have to play it now, then maybe that will become my top vote.

Persona series, because it is very dark and takes a no holds barred view on topics other companies wont even dare look at.

Cloud Strife X · 03-20-2007, 07:37 AM

FFT, all the way. I just fell in love with the story/characters/battle system/job system/everything else. The convoluted and complex story, especially, was quite enjoyable. Political intrigues and backstabbing FTW, eh?

Other than that, Chrono Cross is another favorite of mine, if only because it's fun to play, very relaxing (or tense, when it needs to be), and hardly ever annoying
