Best RPG on PSX?

evil wasabi · Oct 13, 2002

I think Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete was an excellent RPG, with Final Fantasy IX coming in second, what do you think?

Holy Shit, talk about a loaded question.

For me it would have to be Chrono Cross, but I'm biased since Chrono Trigger was my all-time favorite RPG.

Chrono Trigger was my favorite as well, but I didnt dig Chrono Cross. I tried playing it for several hours but couldnt get into it, so I gave up. Very dissapointed.

I'll second that. Suikoden is one of my alltime favorite RPGs.

I am suprised the whole world isnt posting Final Fantasy 7. I really dont see why so many people worship that game. Suikoden was an excellent RPG. And I suppose it doesnt count because it is a SNES port, but Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy 6 are 2 of, if not are my favorite all time RPGs. They are both available on the PSX.

I love a lot of rpgs on the Playsation. Suikoden sticks out in my head a lot, but right now Chrono Cross is probably my favorite. The music in that game is some of the best music I've ever heard, and when it sets up such a good atmosphere, you can't help but be drawn in!

Note: Compilation discs from games that originally came out on other systems shouldn't count.

That is a tough question, PSX had a bunch of great RPGs.

The two that stick in my mind the most are FFVII and Lunar:SSC.

FFVII was just such a huge game, with a killer battle system and nice graphics (walking character polygons aside).

While L:SSC was a nice upgrade from its previous incartions with a slew of new extras and secrets.

Honorable Mention: Grandia

Yeah the Saturn did it first and it had a poor translation but it was still a great game.

I loved every FF game on PSone, especially IX. Great story.

I'm tempted to give Chrono Cross first, because the story line is so amazing, but the gameplay is definitely a turn-off. Strangely though, Chrono Cross is the only PSone RPG that I still play once in a while. The music is also so amazing and I like the tropical atmosphere.

Oh, since I'm sure I'll need this, can someone tell me again what I do to get the Green Tinkler that you use in Hydra Marshes? I remember I was supposed to visit this guy or something. Thanks in advance.

Wtf?? Chrono Cross?? FFVII??

No one even dared to mention Xenogears and Final Fantasy Tactics! For Shame!!

Legend of Dragoon is great as well and yeah I accept Lunar.

KaedesBlade · Oct 13, 2002

Final Fantasy VII and Xenogears.

Head over to gamefaqs.com, look up 'green tinkler' in a faq guide, and I'm sure it will tell you. I thought a long time ago I scanned a page for you out of my guide.

Chronotrigger. The extra animation is so badass (yeah I'm a Toriyama sap).

X-death · Oct 14, 2002

I have 3 words to say, Final Fantasy VII!

Just replace the exclamation point with another I because you know FF8 was one of the greatest RPGs of all time you have to admit I mean c'mon now.

evil wasabi · Oct 14, 2002

Top 5 for me
1. Final Fantasy Tactics
2. Lunar Silver Star Story
3. Final Fantasy Anthology (FF5 is the shit)
4. Arc the Lad Collection
5. Lunar 2 Eternal Blue
