Ahem, the purpose of this thead should be obvious (and if it isn't to you I hope you get cancer), basically, name your favorite games of the OMFG RPG GENRE!!!!!1!!1ONE!!!

Oh, and what is mine? Final Fantasy 6 (3 in the US), period, well-executed story, excellent cast, one of my favorite soundtracks ever (if not my favorite soundtrack ever), and pretty much the best villain to be on a game, EVUR: Kefka Palazzo.

Chrono Trigger.
Since I <3 Magus.
Although...FFVI is like my second favorite since Kefka and Locke to kick major ass.

Oh yeah, Chrono Trigger kicks ass too.

The plot was good, but the time travelling element tends to create plot holes.

Legend of Legia really had me. Legend of Dragoon was kick ass too, but I loved the art fighting system in Legia. Haven't had a chance to play Legia 2 yet, but I will soon.

And just to spite people who think FF7 is the best game ever before they EVEN post:

FFVII lives up to the hype if you're a trendwhore. The graphics were bad for their time, the music fails to live up to the standard Uematsu set for himself in FFVI, the plotline is severely cookie cutter, the characters are bland archetypes at best, the FMVs are shoddily done, the mini games are tedious and yet semi-required, and as a cherry on top, the translation was so horrible it's difficult to figure out just what the heck is going on at times. The only thing that doesn't suck about FFVII is its gameplay, which is simply generic. Sure, materia was a new concept, but it's not dissimilar enough from buying spells in stores to be groundbreaking. Even things like limit breaks which supposedly made the game unique had a very "been there, done that" feel, possibly because the idea was swiped right from the Street Fighter series. It's a fun game and all, but it's less than deserving of its own praise. The only reason people even seem to have for liking it so much is their maligned nostalgia for the first FF game they ever played, which was the seventh itteration of it. That's roughly the equivalent of discovering Good News For People Who Love Bad News and saying you've always been into Modest Mouse.

And no, saying Sephiroth had a big sword is not a decent argument.

I like the Story of FFVII

Its still a good game

Nightmare X · « **Reply #6 on:** November 02, 2005, 12:23:04 pm »

To me, it's decent at most.

Chrono Trigger definitely, loved the music and the plot, also the game play was pretty different from other rpgs, such as having no battle screen and some other stuff too.

FFI > FFVII

but then again...

FFVII > FFVIII

My favorite RPG, hands down, without a trace of doubt, is Privateer. But since it's technically an FPS/space shooter too, I'll discount it for a pure RPG game.

Lufia 2 or Phantasy Star.

Lufia 2 had a lot of standard, unimaginative RPG elements to it, but they were so well implemented that it hardly mattered. For SNES, it's graphics were very well done. The music fits the tone to the situation even better than FFVI [not saying FFVI is worse, Lufia had music more fitting to the situation at the time.] About the worst thing with Lufia 2 is the final bosses are the same as the firt ones.... A bad move, I think. At least FF's keep the final bosses new and fresh, sort of. [they can try, but they will NEVER copy Kefka.]

Phantasy Star, being my first TRUE RPG [discounting Privateer] and my first console RPG, I have a lot of sentimental value to it, and compared to other 8-bit RPG's, it beats them down with a tit. sword. [classic abbreviation in the game.... XD] After playing FFI, then playing Phantasy Star, you'll see which is the far superior in statistics. The battle system, for example. In FFI, it's boring, hit here, take damage, boring boring. Very slow. In Phantasy Star, it's BACK AND FORTH HACK SLASH THIS AFTER THAT HARD TO KEEP TRACK OF BATTLE SPEED.
And Phantasy Star has FAR better graphics than FFI.

It's pretty unfair to compare a NES game with a Genesis game, 'specially in the graphical department.

What the hell isn't better than FFVIII?(although, mabye BoF V...that made me vomit)

hmmm I honestly liked FFVII more than FFX or FFX-2.
Though, all of the FF's for the sony consoles(except FFT and FFIX) have sucked bad.

Final Fantasy II (Or IV to you Japanese-wannabes)

FF 3 is the best game evars!

Why? Because my opinion is right. Logic will never work, becasue FFVII is sooooooo bad. You cannot argue it because I am right. OMG he's got a big sword. It must be bad.

*end sarcasm*

You forgot the fact that techno-fantasy isn't final fantasy. For that matter, neither was the movie.
