Top 10 RPGs of all time

[Mystik3eb]

Because the Terra one is quite weaker and less developed. They're incomparable.

Wait...doesn't aweful mean "good"? damn...
I meant the story is very good, sry for that.
In my oppinion: Terranigma=Good story+Good gameplay+good rest=good game
Even though there are a few translation difference, like on Eklamata(sp?) the 2 mountain animals there(donno name). In the english version they are husband and wife, in the german they are "just" friends.
Both are official translations.

[Magus22]

in the top ten . . . for me atleast

i'd put Legend of Legaia and Legaia 2 Duel Saga with the Chrono series

Mitsuda also did compositions on some of the music in the Legaia games which are incredible

Sorry, you said "awful" instead of "aweful". Dont worry about it.

How can I like CT's story, and not Gaia's?  Simple.  The characters were sub-par, IMO.  There wasn't any central quest, other than to find out about the main character's dad.  You randomly get to turn into a kick-ass knight, for no particular reason (that I could tell).

CT's story is much deeper, the characters are much better, and the plot drives the game.

I still found Gaia to be beautiful. Like when you are on the raft with Princess, and the shark is circling you, and it just leaves, and the she goes "My grandpa (or something) told me that we are the only animals that kill for no reason". Cliche? Yes, but the moment was...beautiful. And the ending looking at the Earth from space was AMAZING.


Now this one aint as great as the one I love:

The garden over the Nasca Lines was where I stopped.  I mean, it wasn't the fact that I was going to real-world locations in a fictional world, it was that I was doing it for no good, driving reason.  And I remmbered the raft scene, didn't think it was anything Chrono Trigger-calibur.

[Burning Zeppelin]

Nothing can compare to CT. Thats a fact. But IOG and Terra just struck a chord in me, due to its...serenity

[Chrono'99]

The raft scene is Xenogears was much more touching, IMO.

[Mystik3eb]

Yasunori did a little bit for Legaia 2, that's true.

The raft scene is Xenogears was much more touching, IMO.

...er...what raft scene?



It's true IoG is full of clichés, but it's nice that way. It's...comforting, almost. Though the delivery was a bit shallow, I still felt emotion toward some of the characters. I really felt for them. Possibly the crypticness of the translation made it more mysterious to me, and helped stir my imagination a bit, or made it seem more intruiging to me. *shrug* I dunno. But I liked it, alot.

[Chrono'99]

The raft scene is Xenogears was much more touching, IMO.

...er...what raft scene?

When Fei and Elly are stranded on a ship wreckage for several weeks. They drift, catch some fishes, speak about their friends, etc...

Well, FF4 is better.  And it just barely beats FF6....

[Magus22]

i never really did get into the FF's

but Legend of Legaia was a life changer for me, the plot was very good yet it never got any attention in the RPG world. . .

the Chrono's? nothing compares to them in my views

though Secret of Mana was not bad, never got into the PS version though, heard it was lame

never kno when u try i guess

[Mystik3eb]

When Fei and Elly are stranded on a ship wreckage for several weeks. They drift, catch some fishes, speak about their friends, etc...

Oh oh OOOHHHH!!! Now I remember. Then they get found by the Thames, right? Gotcha.

That does sound exactly like the IoG one...haha.

Might as well post my list as is.  I tried dropping a little blub for each game to explain why I like it so much, but I always get interrupted when I try to get my thoughts together.  So screw it, here’s my list.  I’ll get around explaining it some time.  Maybe.

10.  Final Fantasy XI
“It began with a jewel, or so the legends say…”

9. Dragon Warrior I
“Art thou the Decedent of Erdrick? Have thee any proof?”

8.  Final Fantasy Tactics
“Blame yourself or God.”

7. Secret of Mana
“I’d rather have my gums scrapped!”

6. Kingdom Hearts
“One who knows nothing can understand nothing.”

5. Xenosaga (series)
“Ye shall be as gods.”

4. Final Fantasy VII
“Because you are…a puppet”

3. Final Fantasy IV
Say it with me now:  “YOU SPOONY BARD!”

2. Final Fantasy VI
“What fun is destruction of no precious lives are lost?”

1.  Chrono Trigger
“Are you saying it’s the reason we’re all here?”  

And because I can, I will include the following:

Fei Fong Wong Awards
For Great Ideas Hopelessly Marred by Poor Execution:

Xenogears

Final Fantasy VIII

Chrono Cross
