What do you mean by "Wtf is this game anyways"?
It's a classic that implemented special attacks that work off each other, new concepts like alternate times effecting the outcome of your game or ending. Great music, great graphics, memorable characters with unique moves and storylines.
I've played the game too much, and it has currently lost its appeal to me to replay again, but thats only because it is my favorite game and I have exhausted it.
I really wish the brains in charge would remake this game. They do it for Bionic Commando and Mario bros...why not remake this classic (and an rpg to boot, when does that ever happen?) into a specticle of the eye and ear with a broadened experiance of the same game (more tech's, more area's, more effect on the outcome...but keep everything that was in the game originally)? Telling me that wouldn't make a lot of money and have the potential to be Great?

Heh, for a second I thought you were talking about the Final Fantasy Legend games on the original gameboy. (Rebranding of Square's fantastic SaGa games.) First RPG on a handheld, apparently.aarontg said:
Good Lord. Someone needs to die for the "pause" picture. Also, I want a spell that summons a giant band-aid.BlindMessiah94 said:But if we are picking actually video games, I seem to recall a really bad game for my Macintosh Classic called Shadow Keep that I loved. It was all kinds of terrible but it was still a classic RPG in the sense that it was an RPG and was on a Mac Classic dur dur.
I can't really speak from the perspective of someone who played them back in the day because back then I was more of a platformer kid.
It'd be a close tie between FF1 and Fallout 1.
Yup, 62 viruses and a small chance of piracy chargesNuclearPenguin said:
Anyways, Mother 1 is tied for first with Chrono trigger, and Fallout 1 for best classic rpg in my eyes.
Except that the former had an epic storyline spanning two full games and two expansions, some of the most memorable characters in the existence of cRPGs, an immersive open-ended world, revolutionary gameplay design (for its time), and an awesome soundtrack.SulfuricDonut said:
The latter... not so much. It was just a linear (yet entertaining) dungeon crawl.
Earthbound and Mother 3. They just pwn. The humor, story, characters, music, everything was just a blast. and that's exactly what a game should be.
PS:The Underwater level in mother 3 was gay.
WHY MUST GOOD GAMES ALWAYS HAVE SHITTY UNDERWATER LEVELS???

What kind of person makes a list of classic RPGs and leaves out Planescape Torment?
Anyway the answer is Fallout. Most Freedom, best freeform story, best RPG mechanics, best RPG setting, best atmosphere. It just better and the only game that comes close to topping it is Planescape Torment.

Chrono Trigger, no question. Although Final Fantasy 3 (the version now called 6) is among my top favorites too.
...oh, and Illusion of Gaia. Freaking amazing game.

Technically, none that you listed.
Final Fantasy VI is my fave, followed closely by Suikoden I and then Earthbound. :B
But, I'm not sure if you meant your listing of FF 1 & 2 to mean 1 & 2 or the US versions, in which case I'll shut up and save you all the eyeball rolling by not getting technical.
(Chrono Trigger was fun, too, tho.)
