12. Secret of Mana
11. Dark Cloud 1 & 2
10. Shadow Hearts 1 or 2: Shadow Hearts 1 is scarier, its one of
the best horror themed RPG's I played. It had an interesting ring based
battle system which was quite fun. I miss this series. The company that
made it is now defunct|
Metacritic-critic & user rating:85,91 (Shadow Hearts 2)
9. Suikoden 1 or 2: good story about geopolitics, conquest and
war. Although the game had 2d graphics which kind of let it down. But it
didnt stop me from enjoying the game|
Metacritic-critic & user rating:82,98
8. Tales of Symphonia: my first tales game, highly addictive
battle system, quite of number of side quests and very difficult
optional bosses. The story was average and was quite cliche|
metacritic-critic & user rating:86,90
7. Chrono Trigger: epic and addicting battle system, excellent
story, just 1 optional boss in the original, I wanted more. The music in
the game isn't better than FF 6, 7, 9 or 10| Gamerankings (snes):95.1%
6. Final Fantasy IX: has the magic FF formula that always
works=good turn based atb gameplay + mini games + hard secret bosses +
epic stories=WIN, Square Enix seems to have forgotten this formula.
Maybe if they played this game they would go "oh damn, thats why our
games used to be great"| Metacritic-critic & user rating:94,91
5. Persona 4: the gameplay is ok & much better in the hard
mode of the game. But what stood out is the amazing story, it has quite a
lot of plot twists. I have not seen a JRPG with plot twists as good as
this game| Meta-critc & user rating:90,91
4. Final Fantasy 6: this game possibly has the best story of all
the FF games. I didnt think it was as good as FF7 or FF10 though,
because it didnt have that many mini games, hard bosses (except the
dragons, czar dragon was missing which was a shame) and this game has a
few serious bugs. If you used the "sketch" ability it could potentially
crash the game depending on who you used it on, and what their status
effects was when you used it| Meta-critic & user rating:92,94 (gba
ver)
3. Kingdom Hearts 1: what i loved most about this game is the
gameplay & difficult secret bosses, this game should not be judged
based on face value. Just because it has Disney characters in it, does
not mean its an easy or rubbish game | Meta-critic & user
rating:85,89
2. Final Fantasy VII: everything about this game is "cool", when I
first played this, it was 1 or 2 years after the PS2 came out, the
graphics did not put me off. The game has a deep story, excellent
gameplay, mouth watering CGI (for its time) and bad ass characters |
Meta-critic & user rating:92,89
1. Final Fantasy X: This was my first FF & JRPG, so there
maybe some bias here. But even then you can't deny that FF 10 is an epic
game with an excellent story, wide variety of customization and
beautiful cut scenes. Not to forget the excellent emotion extracting
music. Just listen to 1 tune below.
If only Square Enix made FF games like FF10 and those before it
again...but we know that will probably never happen| Meta-critic &
user rating:92,87. This is 1 of many awesome tunes from FF10:
