Hello folks. Anybody here still plays/collects rpg's for the ps1/psx/psone?
This topic is locked from further discussion.
Yep, just picked up a few not too long ago: FF Anthology, VIII, & IX; as well as Parasite Eve in a single purchase.
I've had others for years. Brave Fencer Musashi is a fantastic game that's best described as Legend of Zelda meets Final Fantasy with a sense of humor. King's Field 1 & 2 (2 & 3 in Japan) are 2 of my favorite RPGs of all-time, made by From Software who's better know these days for Demon's Soul and Dark Souls. Legend of Legaia is a very fun JRPG with a unique battle-system involving different button combinations = different special attacks.

Brave Fencer and Parasite eve 1 never came to Europe :cry: . Why SquareSOFT? Why???
Don't forget games like Star Ocean 2, Suikoden, Vandal Hearts, Alundra, Wild arms, Thousand Arms, Tail Concerto, Kartia, Azure Dreams and of course Grandia :D
I'm currently playing Final Fantasy Chronicles, specifically Chrono Trigger.
I personally think the PS1 is the best system out there in terms of RPGs, even better than the SNES imo. I have about a third of all the PS1 RPGs that were released in North America, I hope to complete that collection some day.

I really need a copy of Alundra. I bought about a month ago, and when it got to me the disc was cracked. :(

That blows. If you have a hard time finding an affordable copy, it is $6 on PSN(I know you were talking about getting a PSP a while back, don't remember if you did or not).Final Fantasy 8, Breath of Fire IV, Dragon Quest 8, and Parasite EVE one are the only real good Rpgs on the system, the Western Rpg ports are terrible. For decent games that won't take too much time, there is Threads of Fate and Azure DreamJakandsigz
I disagree, there were many very good rpg's on the ps1 (that I would rate above 75%):
Alundra 1 and 2
Suikoden 1 and 2
Breath of Fire 3
Final Fantasy VI, VII, IX and tactics were also very good (I really liked VIII btw)
Vandal Hearts 1 and 2 were great SRPGs
Tales of Destiny 1 and 2
Brave Fencer
Star Ocean 2
Front Mission 3
Grandia was excellent
Chrono Cross and Trigger, how can you forget these, shame on you!
Azure Dreams was good but you're wrong on the taking little time. Getting to the top level is hard and takes from 20-40hours to get there.
Wild Arms 1 was also really great back then. Didn't play the second one.
Vagrant Story, not my cup of tea but got to admit it's a great game.
Arc the Lad series and Lunar series, haven't played those but I know they're great games.
Tail Concerto was also great.
Saga Frontier games were also great.
Kartia was good (not so much to me, but people like it)
The only games I think were not that great were Granstream Saga (I like it, but most people don't, had flawed battle controls), Eternal Eyes (stay away!), Dragon Quest VII (I don't like it, and it took forever to make, turning for me, into a disappointing game), Brigandine was also cack, Technomage too. I don't really like King's Fields games, but then again, the games are designed that way, I just think it's too slow (incluiding Shadow Tower).
