Wow i am happy to see there are some fellow SD3 hardcore fans like me
Here's my tenative list, while i do play games from any genre, i am very biased towards RPGs though i tried to pick a better variety with this list.
1. Chrono Trigger - In my opinion, the greatest rpg achievement. Beautiful 2d graphics, awesome characters, amazing batttle system, gripping storyline, the list goes on and on. What bad things can you say about this game?
2. Final Fantasy VI - My favorite final fantasy, as if you've read any of my posts talking about my love of the game you can see why
3. Ico - One of my all time most memorable gaming experiences. Simple in design, yet to me more fun and well done than close to anything on the PS2.
4. Secret of Mana - I know to me it's hard to put this on the list without SD3. I mean basically SD3 upgraded everything there was in this game with more characters, classes, better graphics, etc. But to me this game started it all, and just because of it's nostaglic feeling to me, i put it on my list.
5. Chrono Cross - I think this game doesn't get enough credit (especially to from the CT fans). I think too many of the CT fans are looking for the next Chrono Trigger, and this may seem like a big change to them. Don't let that fool you, i think this is one of the best RPGs on the PS. Amazing soundtrack, some of the best graphics on the PS, a big cast of characters, and a kickass battle system. Did i mention the story and how it ties in with CT?
6. Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past - My favorite zelda game, and my first rpg to play. This game will never get old to me, classic zelda at it's best. And also, has some difficulty that the some of the newer zeldas are lacking.
7. Super Mario All Stars/World - I guess this is hard to put as one game. I mean techincally its one game and a collection of games. There are really like 5 games here, but this stand as the best in 2d platforming
8. Soulblazer series - One of my favorite old school series. Illusion of Gaia and Terranigma are two amazing titles, and if anyone is into action rpgs i suggest you give them a try. I talk more about them in my "quintet" thread right here in general gaming.
9. Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time - Boy did the zelda series make a good leap to 3D. This game rocked my world when i first played it, and i think it's safe to say that there is much reason why this game is so highly praised.
10. Suikoden II - My favorite game yet in the Suikoden series. I love the epic feel of the games, and this game to me is a big step up from Suikoden I. I loved the story and the conflict between two friends.
