14. Skies of Arcadia
13. Chrono Cross
12. Pokemon Cyrstal
11. Grandia
10. Dragon Quest VIII: in my opinion, the game has an average
story and good gameplay. Sometimes the gameplay is the part which shines
the most, usually when you need to be very strategic in hard boss
battles. but the best part of this game is the large amount of side
quests| meta-critic 7 user rating: 89,84
9. Disgaea: Hour of Darkness: a very addictive turn based rpg
where you move characters from place to place, it has a lot of replay
value and many side quests| meta-critic & user rating: 84,87
8. Secret of Mana: In my opinion, this is the game which is the
blue print for modern day action rpg's like Kingdom Hearts. It also has a
highly addicting battle system and reminds me a lot of the shining
force series| Gamerankings: 86.5%
7. Dark Cloud 2 (Dark Chronicles): This game is the Legend of
Zelda of the playstation. It has a very similar lock on system to LoZ,
tons of side quests, a sim style mini game where you can build your own
towns and a secret hard dungeon at the end to give it a lot of re
playability | meta-critic & user rating:87,92
6. 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)
5. 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
4. 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
3. Xenogears: the game is full of robotic battles and
customization. The game itself is constructed in the traditional
turn-based RPG style but with several innovative features that make it
stand miles apart from its predecessors. The combat system utilizes some
of the same aspects of a typical Square game by incorporating the
Active Time Gauge system. In my previous list, I somehow forgot about
this game| Meta-critic & user rating:84,94
2. Persona 4 & Kingdom Hearts: these 2 games are tied at
number 2. 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
2. Kingdom Hearts 1: also tied for number 2. 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
1. 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. Never the less this game
is a master piece | Gamerankings (snes):95.1%
