Top 10 RPGs of all time

Your free to not believe me.  However, I did abuse limit breaks, as they are broken as well.  Those 2 things combine make this game easy-mode.  And yes, this is how I did this game before I became bored of the story and stopped at the end of disk 3.

Your free to not believe thats it works.  Hell, if I wanted to, I could believe that I'm immune to killing by shooting myself in the head.  I'd be wrong, but I'd be free to believe it.

Has anyone realized how awesome the Terra Trilogy is? (Soul Blazer, Illusion of Gaia, Terranigma). It is so philosophical, on par with Chrono Trigger. We really should discuss it, but I don't want to start a new thread til I know people actually care about it or not...

I played Gaia.  It was just Meh to me.  Run around in a fictional word, explore the Great Wall of China, the Nazca Lines, Inca Ruins, etc etc, and poke things with a stick till they die.  It was alright I guess, but no where near the Secret of Mana series.

The Secret of Mana series is gold. But you have to admit, the ending of Gaia was the greatest ever.

The Mana series was good on the SNES.  Not so much the others.

I wasn't too moved by Illusion of Gaia either. In fact, I had a hard time finishing it. Good thing it wasn't my first RPG.

I haven't heard a lot of great things about Gaia. I heard someone nominate it for the worst game ever once. I don't think it is--Custer's Revenge wins that 'honor'--but I'm not really excited to play it.

I liked Gaia for it's deep emotion, and it was fun. Terranigma is a better game, but I have a hard time getting into it anymore. Soul Blazer is...well, very outdated.

Mana on SNES was great. I think I'm one of the few who actually somewhat liked Legend Of Mana. Oh well. Let's hope the new one rocks. As it should.

I played the first two. They were a lot of fun.

I played Terranigma a long time ago and basically forgot about it since it's not really popular on the web (a guy on GameFAQs posted something about it recently on the CC board though). Terranigma's ending is one of the 3 most touching endings I've ever seen in a video game, the other 2 being Xenogears' and Chrono Cross'. Terranigma's ending is really golden, but I think the game itself is unfortunately not that fun.

The storyline pushed me on. It was quite beautiful really. Gaia was amazing with the places you can go to. Terrangima had one of the...strangest twists I have ever seen. Plus, you have to admit, jumping into a box is awesome.

I played all three of them, and liked them.
Soul was a simple game with alot of fun.
Illusion of time(or gaia) was very cool and I liked the story. Not to mention the "secret" boss(which you also fight in the first game).
Terranigma is one of the coolest games I've ever played, awful story(with a few strange points)+ cool gameplay(except the magic system maybe, but never used it) and not to forget: Town upgrades! Yeah!

Opposite for me.  I didn't care about any characters, nor about what was happening.  The game just seemed like a bland action-RPG to me.
