Top Five favorite RPGs on the SNES

[Yellow_Magic]

It really is criminal that I haven't gotten round to playing Chrono Trigger yet. I should really pick up the DS version at some point.

Be careful of the post-game crap on the DS version. It's not very good and will make you question your existence

Approximately from Best to not so best
Final Fantasy VI
Chrono Trigger
Seiken Densetsu 3
Seiken Densetsu 2 (Secret of Mana)
Final Fantasy V (though I never finished it)

[Fynn]

In no particular order:

FFV
FFVI
Chrono Trigger
Tactics Ogre (only played the PSP remake, but still)
FFIV (but only if you count the DS version)

I was a Sega brat so I didn't play many games on the SNES.

1.) Sailor Moon RPG: Another Story
2.) Final Fantasy V
3.) Final Fantasy VI

I expect this to change when I get around to playing Magic Knight Rayearth, Secret of Evermore and Super Mario RPG.

Dude, the only thing we had in Poland before the PSX era was a Pegasus, an NES knockoff that only played Mario and like 3 other games. Now, the gameboy, on the other hand...

My brother went straight from the NES to the Sega so SNES wasn't an option until Summer visits with my cousins. And I still didn't play many RPGs on theirs.

1. Dragon Quest V
2. Tactics Ogre
3. Chrono Trigger
4. Final Fantasy V
5. Dragon Quest VI

VERY close between number 1 and 2 but while Ogre Battle Episode 7 stays true to its incredible mechanics, DQV constantly flips its mechanics on its head while telling one of the greatest stories ever in an RPG.

Looks like you got over your issues with DQVI, last I remember you were not getting into as well as you hoped.

[Colonel Angus]

Can I just say "Super Mario RPG" five times?

The only issue you may find w/ SoE is that it can be a little tedious looking for ingredients for your spells.

[Skyblade]

Wow, Magic Knight Rayearth. Been a while since I thought about that game.

[Bolivar]

You know, the more I think about it, the more I wish I didn't rush into it immediately after playing DQV and Xenogears. DQV would've been a tough act to follow for any sequel and I now appreciate the things the game accomplished on its own merits. I'm actually looking to play it all the way through from a fresh file soon.

Besides, it was either that or put Final Fantasy VI in my top 5 and a man has to stick to his principles.

I would say something but considering I don't have an FF in either of the Playstation threads I can understand sticking to principles.

5. Secret of Mana
4. Ogre Battle: March of the BLack Queen
3. Breath of Fire II
2. Final Fantasy VI
1. Chrono Trigger

Outside of Ogre Battle, pretty much my entire SNES list are games that have been talked about to death. Especially by me with BoF II.

[Bubba]

Yay, someone else who likes Soul Blazer!

I remember buying it on a whim when I was a teenager. It was one of those purchases that I made purely on the fact that it had a cool name. I didn't regret it

I suppose I could always download the original onto my Wii. Yeah, I think I might do that.
