It is a fantastic, if extremely flawed, game
I only played the demo, sorry.

I am like Pike. I cannot for the life of me remember any RPGs I played on PS1 that aren't Final Fantasys.
1. Suikoden II
2. Final Fantasy IX
3. Chrono Cross
4. Suikoden
5. Final Fantasy VII
As with my SNES list, not absolutely sure about the placement of any but #1 or #2. There are also a lot of important PS1 RPGs I didn't play.
I might have to rearrange mine later.
You two need to get on it then, there were quite a few gems on the system.Originally Posted by Jiro

No particular order:
Suikoden II
Suikoden I
Final Fantasy Tactics
Final Fantasy VII
Breath of Fire III
One of these days I'll get around to playing Vagrant Story. If it's as good as people say, it might end up kicking out Suikoden I or FF7.
The PS1 was definitely my favorite system for RPGs, containing a good chunk of my all-time Top 5.
Xenogears and Final Fantasy VII definitely top my list. I'm glad plenty of people are mentioning Legend of Legaia, it's so fun and would probably also be on my list. My girlfriend is currently enjoying it right now, and though it's simple and quaint, the battle system is still unique and fun. Lunar The Silver Star Story Complete should probably also be on my list. I never played it for the SegaCD, but I know it had a significant overhaul for the PS1, so it probably still counts as a separate game
The last spot's a bit harder, as I didn't really enjoy FFVIII or IX, and never got a chance at Vagrant Story, or Threads of Fate, or the Suikodens, or Breath of Fire. Alundra and Tales of Destiny were pretty awesome, but didn't retain my interest long enough to warrant a spot. I think maybe Grandia or Wild Arms would have to be it out of the games that I played. I didn't beat either of them, but they were pretty fun games with really likable characters for their time. Though Wild Arms had a really ugly battle engine in contrast with it's lovely SNES style sprite work for the over world and whatnot
Final Fantasy VII
Final Fantasy VIII
Final Fantasy IX
Final Fantasy Tactics
Chrono Cross
I have a wide and diverse range of experience with RPGs for the PS1.
My friend Delzethin is currently running a GoFundMe account to pay for some extended medical troubles he's had. He's had chronic issues and lifetime troubles that have really crippled his career opportunities, and he's trying to get enough funding to get back to a stable medical situation. If you like his content, please support his GoFundMe, or even just contribute to his Patreon.
He can really use a hand with this, and any support you can offer is appreciated.
Surprised you put Tactics on that list, actuallyFinal Fantasy VII
Final Fantasy VIII
Final Fantasy IX
Final Fantasy Tactics
Chrono Cross

What about Star Ocean 2?
Threads of Fate?
Radiata Stories? (sp?)
Azure Dreams? (I think that's it... Psycho Mantis can read if you played it in MGS1, only reason i know about it)
Drakengard? (Drakengard is an RPG for the PS1, right?)
Note I have not played any of these games but I'm just trying to stir the pot some beyond the obvious choices.
Two of those games are PS2 RPGs.
There are a lot of RPGs on the PS1 but I think the battles over what were the best ones ended years ago I'm afraid.

And how about those SaGa Frontier games? I see nobody naming them and yet the fans of those games seem extremely passionate about them online. Thought they would be good. Might try them someday?
What? I just checked and Drakengard is for the PS2 but what else?
