Hmm... I'll take DQVIII - freaking loved the monster teams :D
8 was Square Enix...but is still a good game.

I am also (it seems) the only one here who enjoyed Cross more than Trigger, it seems. Then again, I did play Cross first.

I would say Xenogears, then Front Mission 3. I'm probably forgetting another one I really liked though.

I'm surprised you liked Saga Frontier that much. I played it quite a bit but also found it to be a bit sloppy and confusing. A lot of stuff wasn't exaplained and the difficulty curve seemed to go from simple to ridiculous in no time.

'Vagrant Story' and 'Xenogears'

Brilliant production, fantastic stroy, great characters... It's basically one of the perfect games.

Definitely Xenogears, with honorable mention to CT. I have yet to find another story that is as convoluted and involving as Xenogears was.

Parasite Eve but only first part thou (didnt like the 2nd part)Great gameplay, interesting plot and some of the best monsters ever in games.

also Front Mission 3 was great and way better than 4th part that was square-enix, Tactic battle system rules :D

Also Brave Fencer Musashi was nice, had many nice little touches to it but the story was somehow lame and could be made up by a kid but the gameplay rocks since there was so many abilities you could suck from your opponents that made it interesting. I even came up with a diabolical scheme while playing second time to have gunshot on the steam knight :D then the battle becomes even more piss easy :D

The Final Fantasy Legend for Game Boy.
Mostly because the monster breeding system was fantastic, and made grinding purely optional.
Loved it, and have played it multiple times after I got it for $2 at a GameStop, making it also probably the best value I've ever gotten for a game.

The cheap Einhander demo I got in a magazine was a better play through than any square enix title. I seriously gotta go back and find/play that thing.

Star Ocean: till the End of time
That was a good one, but its publisher was Enix and then later, Square Enix and, oddly, Ubisoft...
according to this at least...

Sorry for nitpicking! But I had a sneaking suspicion.
its allright

Seiken Densetsu 3, probably the best of the Mana series. Great leveling system, neat class changes, and you get different angles on the story depending on who you choose for your team. Why it never came out in the West, I'll never know. It easily outclasses the other Mana games.

-Chrono Trigger, if I must be locked away for the rest of my life with one game, this is it.

-Bahamut Lagoon, a shame this game was only in japan, it was a fantastic SRPG

-Vagrant Story

-Chrono Cross

Brave Fencer Musashi and Bushido Blade are my favorite "What, that was squaresoft?" games. Very few people I know played them, but they are awesome.

Einhander was a little clunky, and I prefer 2d fighters, and didn't care for Final Fantasy VII, so most of its charm was lost to me.

At around the same time Squaresoft had a pretty sweet Gradius type shmup out on the PS1.. I forget the name but it was pretty righteous.

I didn't care for Vagrant Story, mainly because I thought it looked like Piss, and had annoying Zelda puzzles with none of the Zelda charm.

Chrono Trigger is probably the best non-Final Fantasy Squaresoft game. It's arguably the best RPG ever.

Secret of Mana was ok, although I preferred Secret of Evermore. I had never seen a game quite like Secret of Evermore when it came out. It involved time travel, and alternate universes, and just was totally unlike anything thematically I'd ever seen.

I hated the SaGa games. SaGa Frontier 2 was the first and only game I've intentionally broken. I snapped it in one of my friends faces when they asked to play it. I hated it that much. I tried to get back into them with the PS2 SaGa game a while back, but it was just too boring, and the difficulty curve sucked.

Chrono Cross.. I never really played it. I've watched it be played.. I've played the first 2-3 hours of it, but I really didn't care for it. Within the first 3 hours I didn't see Frog, Magus or Robo, so I kind of blanked it out.

I don't care what anyone says, I liked the Bouncer, and thought it was a pretty cool launch title for the PS2. It certainly looked better then most of the launch titles (Load up Summoner, or Evergrace, or the Eternal Ring, and then the Bouncer if you don't believe me) Yes, it was short. Yes, it was tacky. But I enjoyed it a lot more then those other 3 games. It felt like something Capcom would release, and that's A-OK with me.
