Chrono Trigger, Then Chrono Cross. Both very good games. FF IIV was good, very good. But I do think that there were better.
>> Anonymous
Here's how it goes...
Last good and true FF was 7 (11 doesn't count because its like, online or something weird like that, x-2 was crap and you all know it.)
CT was fucking awesome, but CC was worse than FF lately. Xenogears is above average. D&D is too broad a subject to bring up and FF12 I do not hold my breath on. This is how I see the current environment. (PS. KH2 is shite, not an anti-fanboy)
>> Anonymous
xenogears was not better. I'm not say ffvii pwns all, but xenogears is a tad more overrated. Its dull, predictable, and its production quality is subpar. As much as this game tries to be EVA, its boring and fails, badly.

The OP may be a fanboy, but that doesn't mean your not a bunch of losers. If you hated FFVII, its either because you have never really beaten it or because you consciously decided to just because everyone else liked it and you thought you were "cool" to go against the crowd. You are all fat lonely weeaboos who prefer to play free Japanese hentai games alone in your parents basement rather than to expend the effort to find meaning in your own life.

Chrono Trigger was pretty good, but I still think SMRPG is far superior. The timing battle system was very innovative and it kept battles from turning into "mash A, watch battle animations, repeat" like in CT. Active time battle is an OK system but it gets old.

Final Fantasy is like the Micheal Jordan of RPGs. They have been playing for a too long, they are way past their prime, but they don't realize it and just keep going. FF needs to retire. Square needs to make a proper SMRPG sequel.

I agree with that.

I concur.

D&D beats the piss out of any Japanese RPG I played, mainly because I'm with four friends of mine and we can just goof off while playing.

Don't get me wrong, I love some Japanese RPGs, but lately they have sucked, really badly.

Final Fantasy VII is not your high school sweetheart. Just because it was the first to break your heart doesn't mean that better games won't come along. In fact, FF VII's major lasting contribution to gaming (besides making nerds cry) is the prettiest male villian in history. Seriously, you'd thing the FF gang was dressed entirely in clothes left over from Duran Duran's 1984 world tour. And what is Cloud doing while the fashionable yet feminine Sephiroth is destroying the world? Decorating weapons with jewelry, talking to a stuffed animal, and making birds fuck. Hey, you can't rush heroism...especially when your most powerful magic attacks clock in at a full minute. It's a sad day when watching a metallic space-dragon incinerate an entire hemisphere is just boring. Oh, and "One Winged Angel" is a Carmina Burana rip-off. Deal with it.

FF6 Owns all, they should remake it, not fuck it up, add some sweet FMV and if they want add one some good shit that won't alter the story but make it even more non-linear, unlike other games *Cough* FFX..etc
>> Anonymous
Quite bitching. FF6 was great, don't get me wrong, but I couldn't sit through playing FF6. I got my save on the damned game and I never want to go through it again. On the other hand I enjoy playing 7 a couple dozen times. Not just the story, you idiots. Its the music, alot of people have very GOOD childhood memories of this game, as well. First RPG for the playstation I ever played, as soon as it was released. Blew me away. I'd rather cherish that memory, not try to rape it in order to make another look stupid. ANd quite your bitching and faggotry. FFX was sweet as well and if you want to sit there and compare it to the others in the series and say it sucks (FF1, 2, 3, 4, 5 wasn't too good either, 8, 9, x-2) Its a hell of alot better, storyline, music, graphics, battle system, the whole damn thing. So quite bitching and post some gifs.

<-- Yes, I realize the hypocracy of me not posting a gif. XD

Way to rip-off an already stupid article from Game Informer. It wasn't funny, clever, or insightful then, neither is it now.

I refuse to enter these arguements personally. I loved FF7 and await the rerelease, but it's not no.1 on my list as best RPG is. There is no clear winner there, too many options. Xenogears, Chrono Trigger, Shadow Hearts 2, Mario RPG, FF7, FFX, the list goes on. They each did something impactful, some better than others.

-Xenogears brought story truely to the forefront, and cared not about how the game looked as long as you were kept interested. It worked.
-Mario RPG showed how battles can involve timing to sway them in your favor, paving the way for the Judgement Ring in Shadow Hearts.
-Shadow Hearts 2 told the story it wanted while keeping the characters completely bizarre and obscure, also making each one's advancement based on something different.
-Chrono Trigger should not even need to be explained, it was a turning point for fantasy games.
-FF7 introduced a new magic system that was both enjoyable and gratifying, and shocked the world with the second time a major character is annihilated with no bringing them back. (Yes, they were the SECOND to all you goddam Aeris fanboys. Phantasy Star 3 beat them to it)
-FFX turned our expectations around when it's very linear story was both engaging, and at points surprising. The best ending in any RPG in my opinion, I'll just pretend X-2 never happened and screwed it all up.
>> Ogre !cTlGHfNtik
Oh, and I forgot to make my lame speech about the 'RPG' genre. Everything mentinoed so far are not real RPG's, they are FANTASY games, placed in fantasy settings, with no actual Role Playing involved.

Actual RPG's: Fallout, Elder Scrolls series, Neverwinter Nights, D&D, RP servers on MMO's.

ps- Fallout 2 rocks your world.

it's not so much that it's a cool thing to hate FFVII now but that we're seeing the first couple of generations that were untouched by FFVII coming of age. Shallow, evil eyed creatures they are with no soul and an insatiable thirst for graphics that demand more and more processing power. Fear them.

FFVII, while a good game, is really, really overrated. It was good, but it wasn't the fucking second coming.

Earthbound, Final Fantasy IV, Chrono Trigger, and Chrono Cross were all a lot more interesting and enjoyable.
