No, it's amazing. Especially with this new graphic mod I got!

Morrowind Graphic Mod

To choose between Chrono Trigger and Skies of Arcadia, I'll flip a coin.

*flips coin*

Chrono Trigger it is.

Xenogears. Next question.

I've been playing Xenogears. 30 hours in and it's not doing it for me. I hear so many great things about it. Maybe it wraps up well?

Depends on where you are at 30 hours. I typically put in over 100 per playthrough.

Probably Xenogears.

Lost Odyssey

Has all the cliche's of a JRPG, too.

Young kid ventures out, collects party members, random encounters in certain areas, ends up saving the planet or destroying some evil organization through "the power or friendship and teamwork", plus cute and furry animals. It's just not a JRPG without at least 1 cute and furry animal.

I haven't played as many JRPGs as I'd want to, but it would probably be a tie between Pokemon Gens 3-5 games (fine, I'll give it to BW), and Mario and Luigi SuperStar Saga.

I got hyped after I watched the GT retrospective.

Final Fantasy IX.

I'm surprised. There used to be a time when threads like these would be about FF6 vs FF7. I'm glad there is variety now. Persona 3 or FF9, from my experience.jimkabrhel

Yeah, I'm glad there's not too much FF7 dickriding in this thread.

Between Skies of Arcadia, Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy 8, and Tales of Symphonia, I'm quite torn. I'm even considering Xenoblade.

**** it, Final Fantasy 8.

Final Fantasy IX.

Seabas989

FF9 is definitely the best of the PS1 FFs and probably the best FF overall TBH.

FF8 has gorgeous art design, but I disliked the junction system.
