Vagrant Story is one of Squares best games in my honest opinion. The gameplay could be a bit fiddly in places, and some of the bosses are seriously rock hard, but with the best plot they've ever done (Yes, I think it's better than Xenogears, though not by much) and a fairly intuitive battle system, Vagrant Story is an excellent game.

Xenogears has arguably one of the worst gameplay's of Square's games, though most of teh time you won't mind it too much. What it does have though is great music and a brilliant plot that will suck you in. As I've said, Vagrant Story's plot is better, but not by much and both of these games keep you playing for the storyline more than the actual gameplay.

FF6 is an absolute classic that so many people absolutely love. I, on the otherhand though, don't. It's not a bad game and the gameplay itself is alright and has one of the best villains Square have ever created as well as some great music and some awesome scenes, at times the game is boring as hell and after a certain pivotal part of the game, the entire plot falls to pieces and the game becomes far too fractured for my likings. But still... it's FF6. It's a classic, albeit a flawed one.

I'm no fan of FF5 I'll admit, but for those who can stand job systems, it's not a bad game at all. I'd at least recommend trying it =P FF2 on the otherhand is a pain in the arse to play, but is another one of those games that has a pretty good plot, which is the reason I managed to finish it with my sanity intact.

Bahamut Lagoon is a tactical rpg, and a game I found so intensely boring, I couldn't get more than half an hour in before stopping and deleting the rom. I'm no fan of this at all, but others do say good things about it.

If you're going to play any Squaresoft game, I'd say you've GOT to play Chrono Trigger, simply because it's the best game they've ever done. While the plot isn't particularly deep really, it is incredibly fun, easy to pick up, has immense replayability and there are a few scenes that always mange to really hit home for me.

As for it's sequel, Chrono Cross, it's one of those games that you'll either love or hate. Personally, I love it. The battle system is reminiscent of Xenogears, though improved upon, the plot is deep and involving and again, it is fun to play, though not as fun as the original. Admittedly, far too much plot is on the second disc and not the first, and a lot of people complain about it being too convoluted for them, I say that's rubbish. As long as you actually think about what's going on, the plot isn't that difficult to understand. Also worth mentioning is the great music in the game, especially some of the battle tracks and the intro tune. The final complaint people have about this game is the large number of playable characters (42 in total), but I really don't see how that's a problem. Just don't play them then ¬_¬

Also worth mentioning is the earlier pseudo-sequel to Chrono Trigger, Radical Dreamers. It's not an RPG at all, but a graphical text-adventure really, but the plot is fairly good, and after playing CT, I just HAD to play this.

The Seiken Densetsu series (Final Fantasy Adventure on the GB, Secret of Mana and Seiken Densetsu 3/Secret of Mana 2 on the SNES, Legend of Mana on the PSX and Sword of Mana/Shinyaku Seiken Densetsu on the GBA) are action rpgs that are somewhat similar to the first few Zelda games, but in my opinion, rise above them. The plot can be a bit ropey in the first two, but all of these games are just plain fun, especially if you can find people to play them with since they encourage multi-player gaming. I'd especially recommend Seiken Densetsu 3/Secret of Mana 2 as the pick of the series so far.

Secret of Evermore was developed and made by Square USA, and as such, is one of their worst games, but it does have its good points, that must be said.

FF: Mystic Quest is without a doubt, the worst FF game I've ever played. I mean, the fact you can kill the final boss in one hit says something about a game, doesn't it? ¬_¬

FFT:A blows great big chunks. I've heard the original on the PSX, FFT, is far, far better, and it's produced by the same team that did Vagrant Story, so you can count on it having a fairly decent storyline.

As for the rest of the games mentioned, unfortunately I haven't played them =S

Finally, I'd like to point you in the direction of the FF Legend series on the Gameboy, especially the third and final one, which is the game that really got me into RPGs in the first place.

Oh, and one final thing, I'd recommend not limiting ourself to just FF stuff, especially with the merger of Square and Enix. The latter company has produced many a fine RPG themselves, including the likes of Terranigma and the Dragon Warrior series, not to mention Konami's Suikoden series and Atlus' Tactics Ogre series as well.

There, I think that's it =P
