Ok, since I am a big RPG fan, I can't resist. I played my first RPG's (dragon warrior 1 & 3, final fantasy 1) on 8-bit NES, but thinking back, I played my FAVORITE RPG's on Super Nintendo. So with that being said and done, what are your guy's TOP 3 Favorite SNES RPG's that you have ever played??? Here are mine: 1. Final Fantasy II 2. Chrono Trigger 3. Breath of Fire 1 BTW I have played through a TON of other RPG's that are lesser known. To name a few: Paladins Quest 7th Saga (man that game was SUCH a pain to beat) Inindo (another REALLY hard RPG much like 7th saga) Lufia I and II (the constant puzzles in these games were enough to make me want to die)

My favorite RPG, and favorite game of all time, would be Super Mario RPG. I know it's not as deep as the other RPGs, but it's so entertaining. Great battle system, great characters, great music. Still excites me to this day even after playing through it countless times. :D

The only one I care for is Super Mario RPG, but I don't really like RPGs that old, most stuff made by Square that old and especially Breath of Fire.

Final fantasy 3(VI in the actual numbering system) I also liked eye of the beholder as a D&D geek,and of course Earthbound (which was a remake of one of the mother games.

It's a tie between Final Fantasy III(VI) and Chrono Trigger, but I really enjoy playing Earthbound also.

I would have to go with Earthbound. It is such a forgotten game. I think more people need to know about this game. Even Nintendo has neglected to add more games to this series or get it on the Virtual Console.

A lot of awesome SNES RPG's I want to check out include Alcahest, FFV,FFVI, Terranigma, Dragon Quest I&II, Tales of Phantasia, Live-a-Live, Treasure of the Rudras, Seiken Densetsu 3 and many more. I recommend you check them out as well but I won't say how. American SNES games, I'd say Chrono Trigger, Super Mario RPG, Secret of Mana, Secret of Evermore, Soul Blazer are my favorites that I have actually played so far.

Final Fantasy 3/6 wins for me. Chrono Trigger comes in a close second, then definitely Earthbound.

Turn Based-no Stat Leveling- no RPG- well, yes No matter the argument being made the LoZ is classified as an RPG > Action Roleplaying. Hmm...Guess what else is placed in the same genre. Secret of Mana THIS & THISl

I still wouldn't ever consider Zelda an RPG more than it is an Adventure game.

It's the same reason I wouldn't consider a game like Halo to be an RPG shooter just because you play the role of a spartan against the Covenant. I mean it just isn't right.

Zelda doesn't posess the same elements that the RPG genre is known for. It does posess all the elements to consider it an Action Adventure, so I'm not sure why Gamefaqs wouldn't ****fy it as that. Definitely not an RPG though imo.

TC, i hate you. lol making me choose between 3 of my favourite games ever... Final Fantasy VI (3 to some of you), Chrono Trigger, and Secret Of Mana. All absolutely awesome.

Another amazing game was Super Mario RPG, among many others on the SNES.

If your going just on story then I would have to go with FF6.

Some that havent been mentioned are:

Shadowrun
Robotrek
Uncharted Waters: New Horizon (I cant get enough of this game)

Check out my signature for others, along with just great SNES games.

Id also would say Chrono Trigger aswell, sure it didnt have as many side quests as Square Enix's other RPG series; Final Fantasy, but still, it was a good effort and the results was a game that played excellently and had good must, A definate 10/10.
