I agree that Chrono Trigger was revolutionary and a grat game, but nothing beats Xenogears. It was the pinnacle of plot and innovative battle system. Which goes to show that Namco is going to have a cash cow on their hands with XenoSaGa. It'll be beautiful. Feb 26!!!!!!!!! I will own it.

My GAWD there's a lot of great Square games left out of there!

The original Final Fantasy should at least get a -mention- on that poll, considering it's the game that started it -all-. And now, almost two decades later, FF1 remains one of my all time favorite games.

FF2 and 3 were...eh. FF3 was neat, 'cause it introduced the class change system, and actually had a plot, but it was a rather easy game. Though it was cool having an airship that was a submarine as well.

FF4 rocked, simply put. It remains to this day one of the hardest FF games out there, made even harder with the re-release of it on the PSX.

FF5...it was good, but I can see why it never hit the shelves in North America.

FF6. The single greatest achievement made by Square, bar -none-. FF6 was, and still is, considered the single greatest RPG ever made by anyone, ever, by many, many people, including way up there game critics, and myself included. It was simply fantastic, and I still love just sitting there and listening to the music. Ahhh, nostalgia.

FF7 was a -great- game, and comes in a close second to FF6. Brilliant plot, really nice system, and perhaps the coolest villain in FF history. >

FF8 ...blah. It was a good game by most standards, but it just wasn't living up to Square's reputation. The junction system was nice, but too much rides on those bloody GFs, and there are far to many loopholes and potential ways to abuse it.

FF9 and 10...well, as I don't have a PS2 (*sob!*) I can't give much input on them...but I hear they're pretty good.

I also hear that they don't come close to standing up to FF6 and 7, however...

Oh, let's not forget Final Fantasy Mystic Quest on the snes. *shudder* I wouldn't wipe my ass with that game. Square's biggest mistake, I think.

Final Fantasy Adventure on the gameboy (also known as Seiken Densetsu) was a pretty good game, and you can see the resemblance between it and it's sequel.

Secret of Mana (Seiken Densetsu 2) was an -amazing- game, to a point where I'd put it on a level just below FF7, I think. Brilliant story, and I think it was the first Square game to introduce those legendary hour-long boss battles that we've come to enjoy so much from Square games.

Seiken Densetsu 3...I was -shocked- not to see this game up on that poll. SD3, the sequel to Secret of Mana (which never made it to america, unfortunately) was simply -astounding-, compared to its' predecessor. I'd put this game almost on par with FF6, slightly better than FF7.

Chrono Trigger....oh, yes, one of the most well-known RPGs ever, though personally, I think a lot of people kinna hyped it a bit.

It's not as good as a lot of people say it is, though it's certainly one tough game. The plot's a -little- cliche, though, and it could have been done better.

Chrono Cross and Xenogears....well, same boat as FF 9 and 10, unfortunately. Though I've heard a lot about them...and what I've heard was that they don't even come close to some of the older Square games.

Hmm...let's see, did I leave any out? ...*coughs* No, I'm not a fan of Square, can you tell? Mwahahahah. >

But yes. FF6 was definitely the best, followed by Seiken Densetsu 3 and FF7. But that's just my opinion, anyway.

And now I shall stop the spammage.

CMCAdvanced · 02-7-2003, 07:19 PM

What other Good Sqare RPG's were there?
Two words,
Chocobo's
Dungeon!

It will rock your face in!

P.S I'm just kidding. I did not even play it.

NessTormented · 02-8-2003, 12:48 PM

Seiken Densetsu 3 all of the way. 100%!

**Freak83** · 02-11-2003, 02:46 PM

Hey it's an older game but I say the best one is Super Mario RPG Legend of the Seven Stars for SNES. That's an amazing game. FF7 is one of the best rpgs too. Also, Kingdom Hearts.

As for Chrono Trigger I've never played it, don't know what it's about, and will never play it because I'm too lazy and there are games I'd much rather play. New ones.

SotN · 02-11-2003, 02:55 PM

If you haven't played it, then it's new to you! :P

NessTormented · 02-11-2003, 07:20 PM

New. i am think...

kingdom hearts is crap. Disney and of squaresoft? Shoot me of now please.

**Freak83** · 02-11-2003, 08:29 PM

NessTormented... isn't that the kind of stuff that got Arch0wl banned? And anyway, that's what I thought about Kingdom Hearts at first, but Squaresoft made it. If Squaresoft made it, it can't be that bad. Well I think it's a good game at least.

NessTormented · 02-12-2003, 08:44 AM

No; i was of stating my opinion on a game. I wasnt of belittling anyone.

i am really not like of the idea of disney and Cloud.

**Freak83** · 02-12-2003, 02:45 PM

Heh heh, Cloud's cool.

NessTormented · 02-13-2003, 03:10 PM

But not of while fighting sephiroth with goofy.

Anonymous · 02-17-2003, 09:58 AM

*falls over laughing hysterically as he pictures that*

Yes, admittedly...Square should NOT have teamed up with Disney to make a game. It's so wrong on SO many levels.

However, I'm not about to knock a game until I've played it myself...and from what I hear, it's actually a really good game. At least the majority of people who've actually -played- it think so. The rest of you really have no basis to say it sucks to begin with.

You wanna know a damn good RPG to play...one I just started getting into the other day: Morrowind. I swear, that game will cause you to stop sleeping. It's the single most addicting RPG I've ever seen in my life. My GOD there's such much stuff you can do it's ridiculous! Fwahahah...I run the mage guild in my game.

...Until I got turned into a vampire and now nobody'll talk to me. So I just steal all the stuff I want.

You CAN'T go wrong with a game that lets you create your own spells right from scratch, enchant your own equipment, brew your own potions, scribe your own scrolls...and the sweet part is, if you have high enough thieving skills....everything's free!

Sithicus · 02-17-2003, 10:04 AM

Agh...that was me. Stupid idle time.

NessTormented · 02-17-2003, 11:46 PM

my friend ahs of played it. the storyline is good, but the teaming up...no no no no. as for morrowind,....played it. It is rocks!

**Freak83** · 02-18-2003, 09:45 AM

Want to know a really good game that's not an rpg? Natural-Selection, it's a half-life mod that's aliens vs. marines. Everyone who plays it says it's better than counter-strike, and I agree. I hate counter-strike now just because ns is so much better. Well try it, you may like it. And yes, I played cs for a very long time but now hate it.

**Freak83** · 02-20-2003, 07:56 AM

Yeah, I don't think the word "guest" really describes him.

T-pan · 02-20-2003, 08:46 AM
