Breath of fire 3.
It's your basic sprite styled RPG. You get to transform into different dragon types and kick ass. It was also the first RPG I played that allowed you to use your weapons outside of battle. 9/10

All the Final Fantasies (1-3 for NES 4-6 for SNES), Chrono Trigger (SNES), Tales of Phantasia (I think this is the one for SNES) and Breath of Fire (1-3 SNES).

I would rank them like this:
Chrono Trigger
Final Fantasy VI
Final Fantasy IV
Tales of Phantasia
Breath of Fire III
Final Fantasy V
and then the 3 NES ones.

I may give a review for each later if I have time. You can probably find some online, though.

Illusion of Time: I played this ages ago and if I recall correctly it's about a boy who's searching for his lost father. You don't have a party and you can change into 2 (?) other fighters later. It was my first SNES Rpg. 9/10

If you plan to go the route of emu and roms get a sega one too!!

Snes

lufia 1: 7.5/10 Score would be better, but the battle system is like the older ff’s

lufia 2: 9.5/10 Better battle system then the first. Good plot

Both are very cool games. They planned to make a second one from the start so the first is the second one in an odd sorta way. The 99 floor cave that constantly changes can keep you going for days alone.

final fantasy 3 8/10 imo the first good ff.

Secret of mana 9/10 Fun game, for it’s time very unique. Good battle ai system too.

Super Mario rpg 8/10 One of the last games they made for the snes so they pushed the snes for all the graphics it could handle. Fun game, and one of the best looking snes games.

Chrono trigger: 8/10 Fun good steady plot, a few side quests/ mini games too.


Sega

Phantasy Star 4!!!! 12/10 Great rpg! Anime influenced still panned cut scenes . Great plot …a little sad tho. Lots of weapons, skills, techs, and vehicles… you also travel to different planets. You can combine techs, and skills with other characters for better attacks. A lot to this game.


Phantasy star 3 9/10 Fun a bit like 4, but not as good still very much worth playing.

Phantasy star 2 6.5/10 Fun, but it doesn’t stand the test of time as well as the others.

Shining Force 1 8/10 Fun, Good strategy rpg. Kinda easy tho.

Shining Force 2 7/10 Not quite as good as the first one. a few of the characters are to strong, so if you like a challenge you end up picking the weak characters for your party.

Shining in the Darkness: 8/10 a dungeon rpg, fun, but not that big. If you sat down and really tried you could beat it in a day.

Dungeons & Dragons rise of the eternal sun. 5.5/10 Good enough to mention, but there are a few silly glitch type things in the game. When in caves or dungeons creatures won’t attack if they are 4 spaces away, but you can still do distance attacks on them i.e magic or throwing weapons. So you can kill a red fire dragon at lvl 1 by doing this.

man, i played Legend of the Dragoon day in and day out a few years ago. not the best graphics, battles get a little boring, but its one of those games you still like to play because you wanna know whats gonna happen. and i love those kinda games http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/laugh.gif

Terranigma is a badass SNES rpg, just started playing it. and a good place for roms and emu's is Cherry ROMS ('http://www.cherryroms.com')

Besides from the final fantasy games the breath of fire serie is quite good.

also secret of mana is a 9'er aswell as Terranigma (has another name but can never remember)

I have always been into RPG's so I think I know most that will be mentioned in here

Alright, I gotta throw in my 2 cents for a game that is often overlooked. Illusion of Gaia. This game is sweet. It combines elements of story telling, action RPG, and puzzle solving in such a way that there is never a dull moment. Find a complete review, w/ screen shots, here ('http://www.netjak.com/review.php/456').

They were better for the playstation Drunken_Lord. The sega cd couldnt contain the complete story or some thing. And the Fmv&#39;s Were on a tiny 2&quot; 2&quot; window with a black screen as background.


Since were all basically naming our favorite rpgs i wanted to ask if anyone played and loved XENOSAGA as much a me?

You guys are missing 1 more SNES game. ZELDA&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33; THAT WAS THE BEST GAME EVER&#33; Also, there was Secret of Mana, that was a good game, but if you&#39;re using an emulator, try getting Seiken Densetsu 3, or the second Secret of Mana. That is the stuff. FF 2 and 3 were really good too.

There for the sega cd and psx I thought this was like nes sega and snes.

I had/have a sega cd. The first lunar was pretty good. The 2nd rocked. perhaps the biggest game of it&#39;s time. Vay however would be the best rpg for the sega cd. other rpgs.... Shining force cd was odd... the worst of the shining forces without a doubt. I still played and beat it, but it wasn&#39;t as good as the other 2. Popful mail hehe... panty shot when she died.... I think I played that rpg just for panty shot. really those are about the only games worth playing on the sega cd.

For the psx I played lunar silver star ocean very fun lots to do in it.
