I prefer 10, 8, and 5, but only because I love building different character builds than the usual. I took Auron down Rikku's path. Fucking hilarious to have him as the thief type.ChromeAlchemist said:

I loved 10, and I forget where I took Kimhari but it ended up doing him a lot of good. I also remembered teaching Yuna black magic and vice versa, and always wanted to take Rikku down either Tidus or Auron's path, asumming Tidus would have worked better for her.Onyx Oblivion said:
I would have to say that hands down its Chrono Cross for me. I consider it to be a more emotionally gripping game than its predecessor. I consider the vast array of characters to its advantage not its detriment. I consider its battle system to be excellent and require a bit of strategy (particularly to get the actual final ending). The game can be convoluted and people argue that when you understand the plot it sucks. But I love the fact that it isn't about saving the world. I love that its about minor characters and their major struggles. People who threw Chrono Cross to the side because it wasn't Chrono Trigger are idiots. You don't look at it as the sequel, you look at it as a new game entirely. A better game, in fact.Fruitloops89 said:
If you flame me, present actual points instead of saying inane shit I don't care about. I liked Chrono Trigger for the record, I just thought Chrono Cross was a better game in every way.
Hey, Trigger was good, but could you make a team out of a plump mother and her two kids? And did it have Sprigg? No...Then the choice is obvious. And did you have a lucha libre wrestler? And a baby dragon? And an alien? And that Eevee like thing...Pip, iirc?Fruitloops89 said:
Also no? Then this is really obvious. Trigger was good, but the tint of nostalgia played tricks with people's heads, you know?
*net five*
That's three good characters...Versus each of the decently fleshed out and unique characters in Chrono Cross. Shit, I still haven't even mentioned the awesome factor of Solt and Peppor tutorial/boss fights. And the deep elements systems that allows for use of your favorite, by powering them up somewhat when they are higher in the chain and vice versa. And the badass plot twist about 1/2 to 2/3 into the game. And the fact that one of your first characters is a Pink Pampered Pudgy Poodle named Poshul.-Seraph- said:
Better characters, better overall plot, awesome boss fights, and Pierre was just freaking funny, too.
That game is the single reason I grit my teeth every time a "JRPG" thread comes up. Seriously fun combat system, a plot that starts out cliche simply to lure you into a false sense of security, characters that start out somewhat flat until they each gain an extra dimension or two...why did Final Fantasy have to screw things up?UpSkirtDistress said:
...okay, that last part's a lie. I can forgive any series that has Nobuo Uematsu as a music director (and I've yet to play most of them).
I can't believe I forgot Baten Kaitos...shoot. The soundtrack alone is worth it (as long as you turn off the voices in the first game).reap579 said:
Congradulations. This poll was the reason I decided to sign up for another fourm so "hi".
"Other." Skies of Arcadia. It was the only JRPG that I finished and enjoyed.
