Top Five favorite RPGs on the PS1

Radiata Stories is also PS2.

Oh.

Alright, I got this. I got a crap ton more games to replace my two wrong options.

Front Mission 1, 2 and 3.

I had a lot of people on another board tell me they had some cool stories. I think they were talking about 4 and 5 but...well, it's still three more choices.

[Fynn]

Wasn't the first front mission originally an SNES game?

Well actually FM 1 is an SNES game as well I'm afraid. Though it is a pretty cool series, especially if you like military mecha. It's a shame we only got three games in the series but I guess since a lot of the story is in supplemental materials like manga, radio drama, and novels; it would be bit lost on Westerners. I still think the whole reason FM5 got snubbed for Western release was because the whole game is just one giant kudzu plot trying to tie up the loose ends in the entire series.

1) FFVII
2) FFVIII
3) Wild Arms
4) Alundra
5) Breath of Fire III

I still haven't gotten round to playing FFIX which is happening soon. Wild Arms is the only one threatening the two Final Fantasy games though... I thought it was excellent.

FF7, FF8, Chrono Cross, FF9, Xenogears.

Honorable mention to Mega Man Legends, not really an RPG, but one of my top 5 favorite games ever nonetheless.

[Skyblade]

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.

Surprised you put Tactics on that list, actually

I could say it deserves to be on the list even though I have a ton of huge issues with it. Or I could say that it's one of the only five RPGs for the PS1 that I've played. Take your pick.

[Jiro]

I am like Pike. I cannot for the life of me remember any RPGs I played on PS1 that aren't Final Fantasys.

You two need to get on it then, there were quite a few gems on the system.

I'm confident that very few of them were released in Australia though.

[Perducci]

In no particular order...

Breath of Fire III
Suikoden
Final Fantasy IX
Grandia
Chrono Cross
