Lets see some great old rpgs that arnt FF are Chrono trigger,Breath of fire series, Lufia series, Super mario rpg, Faxanadu (not sure on spelling) , Lunar, Arc the Lad, Dungeon magic, Gobbies quest from Rpg maker (I found it very funny thats why im listing it), Illusion of Gaia, Star ocean series, and saga frontier 1&2 (unlimited saga disapointed me) all of these games are great and most can go toe to toe with some final fantasys and they all are better than 8 it sucked because it had the most retarded system ever the monsters and bosses lv up with you what the hell is that its easier if you dont lv up
