but chrono trigger too

breath of fire is made by capcom.

not the first one.

and on xenogears - i totally agree, xenogears is amazing.

ff4, ff6, ff7, ff tactics, chrono trigger, secret of mana, xenogears, vandal hearts, chrono cross, parasite eve, saga frontier 2

saga frontier 1 was ok but i never bought it so i didnt play it much

seiken densetsu 3 (the sequel to secret of mana - not released in the US - is available in an english rom for emulators) was ok, but i couldnt get into it, didnt hold my attention long enough, and somehow not paying $$ for a game makes me less motivated to play it, and sometimes it just fades out of my "things to do" list in my head.

ff3, the REAL ff3, not the one for snes, but the one for famicom, was pretty cool, but again, was playing on an emulator, and got stuck probably 15% into it, and never got back to it.

ff8 was ok but man, the story and characters blew. gameplay was decent though, had me hooked enough to play for 108 hours (100 of every spell on every character! everyone at lvl 100! almost all cards...etc)

ff9 had a cool "atmosphere" to it. the environments were very cool, pulled me in for a while, but after some time i realized that i hated every single character in the game, and the story was boring me. seems like the ff games are hooking people on the minigames and whatnot (and graphics), and focusing less on story and characters. i could stare at a black and white 240x160 pixel screen for a game as long as it had a good story. f*ck graphics. music is a big thing to me though. most square games have good music, especially chrono cross, xenogears, xenosaga, and saga frontier 2. i probably have like 500-1000 mp3's of this stuff, i love it..

What about Final Fantasy Tactics?!?!?!?!?! I can't wait for the Tactics game to come out for the Gameboy Advance!!

That game rocked... but the battles were sooooooo slow. I dunno if I want to beat it all over again. A little too much IMO. Plus I finished playing Tactics Ogre on the GBA so I dunno how much more I could take. Maybe they should make a book, cuz the story line was great.

Also the first one, Square US only translated it, the game was made by Capcom.

Noone mentioned Driving Emotion Type S (just kidding)

My faves are:
1: FF7
2: FF6
3: Kingdom Hearts
4: FF9
5: FF10

Haven't tried any of the Xeno games or FF:Tactics as they haven't been released in europe

Xenogears!!! Not many people have actually played it...but its an awesome game. The story is incredible. It slows down alot on the second disc...mostly because square cut the funding in favor of one of the Final Fantasy Games...but it could have easily been 3 discs.

All in all...about 60 hours of gameplay, and every single one of them flies by.

ya, i played it for about 12 hours, then i had to give it back to my friend (was borrowing PS and the Game)... I feel bad now because I didn't really appreciate it. My pal has since sold his PS and Xenogears
i was pissed

what are your fav sqaure games?

Either you're a square newbie or you have a very different taste than most Square fans. I personally like old school Square better.

Secret of Mana (which i'm playing again), Secret of Evermore was cool, I liked most of all FF series except FF9, Xenogear i played and beat the week it came out....and then i beat it again. Umm....yea, Square rocks my world. I think they easily make the more immersive games and best storylines as far as games go. And they make the memorable ones too.

I'm such a square fanboy. They own me.

Definitely Crono Trigger, Secret of Mana. I actually have not been disappointed with any Final Fantasy game, but they don't compare to those two. Xenogears was good... but GOD there's so much text to read.

i agree that there's quite a bit of reading in xenogears, but that's what makes an rpg

edit: i haven't played many console rpg's, but my pick is chrono trigger

 

[Kelvrick]

Chrono Trigger ownz joo!

FF7 was good, as was FF tactics and FF IX. I hated FF 8 and 10. I mean my god, the first hour of gameplay in 10 was like 45 minutes of cut scenes.
