[QUOTE="BrunoBRS"]golden sun and tales of symphonia come to mind.edo-tensei

A Fewthings wrong with your post:

1. I think you mean both are superior, in your opinion

2. Golden Sun does 'belong to Nintendo', but Tales of Symphonia doesn't. It was also released on the PS2.

3. In an attempt to imply someone is a fanboy, you have just made yourself look one.

Anyway, on topic, I would say Baten Kaitos, Digital Devil Saga, Eternal Sonataand Illusion of Time.

I didn't say you called him one, I said you implied he was one through the tone of your post, which other posters have picked up on. Just like by telling me to 'go back to my cave' you are implying I'm trolling. Which is ironic, really.

Baten Kaitos and TWEWY

bc1391

Someone else that loves BK! Now I have to try TWEWY as you like both BK and it ;).

BTW, if the question is purely on story and presentation and such, then my answers might change to favor FF X, as the story and feeling of that game are what drove me forward.

Anyways my answer is suikoden 2, followed closely by ff6

IMO, Baten Kaitos is one of the most underrated JRPG's of all time. I tink it's the unique setting that appeals to me. By contrast, most JRPG's use familiar cliche's in setting. Lost Odyssey is an example, it seems like such a cut and paste job, along with FF XII, most of the Dragon Quest series etc.

Then you have games like Eternal Sonata, which is truly bizarre, and all the better for it.

Chrono Cross and Trigger, and TWEWY. I absolutely love Golden Sun, but its story isnt as great as those RPGs.

[QUOTE="edo-tensei"][QUOTE="YuriSH"] Man, I hope Suikoden 2 has a really great story.....I'll be playing it soon.YuriSH

[QUOTE="YuriSH"][QUOTE="edo-tensei"] ohh trust me you'll love it, well as long as you don't mind playing 2d rpgs.edo-tensei

This is a no brainer. Chrono Cross is the correct answer. Of the FF games, FFIX is certainly the best.

[QUOTE="YuriSH"][QUOTE="edo-tensei"] ohh trust me you'll love it, well as long as you don't mind playing 2d rpgs.edo-tensei

I'm going with FFIX, Vivi's story alone is a winner.

I'll probably get flamed for this, but Vivi was one of my least favorite characters in the game...

nah, Eiko was worse :P

He kinda whined too much in my opinion, but still nowhere as bad as say Squall or Tidus.

final fantasy tactics/suikoden 2 i really cant choose....both are AAAAAA games for me.

[QUOTE="Ziek-AAT"]

some edit thing...

thom_maytees

I edited my post, you do the same....

Jade Cocoon (I think it was made by a Japanese developer)

If not, Pokemon. Most JRPGs are just big grindfests, and are quite boring because of that. Though, Chrono Trigger (DS) was actually pretty good in comparison.

It's cliche but I've always put FF7 and Chrono Trigger at the top. The quality of the original music and art in those games really stands out. Most JRPGS follow a very similar overall story of travelling the world in order to save the world, so I have to base the quality of story on how interesting the characters and their interactions are. Again, I think these two games really stand out. After these two I would say FF6.

Chrono trigger, Suikoden 2 and Shadow hearts 2 also Suikoden 5 had a nice story.

FFX!!Mr_Cumberdale

I'm detecting the winner here...

FF6funsohng

best JRPG imo are Golden sun 1 and 2 for the GBA, nothing has even come close

Dead-Memories

Xenogears, naturally.

FF6funsohng

This.

Magnificent Music. Magnificent Game.

Chrono Cross.

Chrono "The Masterpiece" Trigger. It just did everything right, amazing music, amazing gameplay, amazing characters, amazing story, the game is just plain amazing.

Chrono Trigger

Which one, and how long did you give it? I suggest giving it a fair shot, and whichever one it was, try the other because they changed it quite a bit. Same card based game, but very different way of playing. I prefer the second ones battle system although both are great to me.

How is the whole...108 (i think thats how many) party member thing? That personally turns me off a lot, but maybe I am misunderstanding how it works.

Also, is the story of SMT: Digital Devil Saga stand alone, or is it connected to another SMT? I am thinking I may pick it up on amazon as they have the 3 for 2 deal going on right now.

[QUOTE="YuriSH"] That definitely isn't a problem for me. I recently got done with Suikoden 1 so I'm kind of going to go in order with the series excluding 4 since that was my first suikodenYuriSH

How are the battles done in Suikoden? Do you only use a couple guys at a time? With that many people, wouldnt the story be week?

Haha if DDS 1 is good, then I will buy DDS2 eventually.

My personal choice would be FF7 and I know I'm not alone with it ^^

NaveedLife

Usually you fight with 6 guys in your team. The amount of character doesn't affect the story, some of them are pretty much random NPCs you can recruit by meeting some conditions. It just adds a lot of variety to the battle system to have a huge amount of characters to choose from. There is a main group of characters which the story focuses on the most
