Your Favorite Square RPG (updated!)

chrono trigger was easily the funnest. I think all the final fantasy's are all just a huge hype up.

Final fantasy seven is my vote definetally. FF7 is what introduced my to the world of RPGs all those long years ago. It was nice and long, it had a strong plot, the fighting was quality, and best of all -- i actually LIKED the characters. Not so with these new square games, like ff10. Regardless of how good that game was, i just could not get into it because of the characters. Runnerup: chrono trigger. And by the way, i thought that ff8 was pretty good too. Not great for sure, but i really did enjoy it. Gunblades are cool.

And ye gods man! Those "chicks" were not hot!

RE: u all wrong!

i can't stand standard RPGs... i greatly enjoy games that have HUGE customability and replayability... recent and past great RPGs: Wizardy 8, Baldur's Gate, Arcanum, Fallout... those games have so much replayability with so much customization and different styles... i must have played Wiz8 about 7-8 different ways.

i know these are a different type of RPG than the FFs.. but, damn do i think the FFs are bad and boring. also... computer RPGs are where its at. 100x better than the system RPGs.

RE: u all wrong!

i liked kingdom hearts cause it's realtime (turn based fighting, more like boring waste of life battle system, and yeah i know secret of mana is on there, but come on!). But out of those FFVII owns.

Wow, quadruple post. To answer you questions in order of post:

1. Check the "n00b forum" and read the stickies. There is one that is called "Need help getting an avatar or signature?"
2. OK...
3. Never played it, and there is a thread about it somewhere in here. IMO, it's overrated.
4. Thanks for sharing.

You know, there is an edit button. And don't double/triple/quadruple post.

I would advise you to read the rules, it will help. You can find them in the Chit Chat forum, or the n00b forum, and some other places.

I'm not going to read through all of the 14 pages, but I'll give my opinion.

FF6 = easily the #1 Square RPG... Most fun... longest... Maybe not the greatest graphics... but they really aren't what make a game. FF7 I think was overhyped.. it was a great game.. but can't compare to FF6.. which I own in Japanese for Super Famicon. :O

FF8 was decent, FF9 was ok... FFX was.. fun but really didn't live up to my expectations. It was too easy, I didn't like the massive cutscenes over the greater gameplay. FFXI was fun for about 3 months, then I stopped paying for it.. =\

Secret of Mana is my #2 pick... I'm not sure if it was on the poll or not. Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross were definately a lot of fun, but to me they just didn't compare to the FF series.

Another great game (can't remember if it's made my Square or not) is Tactics Ogre, for GBA. Not a very well-known game, there were limited copies of it made... but it was based on the Ogre Battle series... and plays a lot like Final fantasy tactics... which came out soon after on GBA... was also a very good game... though I thought Tactics Ogre was better. :P

No Xenosaga?

Oh yeah, that was made by Namco. (and Monolith)

Xenogears I guess.

[StarOceanFanboy]

What about Star Ocean: Till The End Of Time? Well, I guess that's really a Tri_Ace/Enix game, but then Square and Enix combined, so I guess it's a Square RPG....
The battle sytem is real time, and there's multiple endings.... so that's my favorite RPG, period. Of all time.
