Which is the best square rpg?  Now im talking old school here, snes or earlier.  

My fav was FF VI, but i just got turned on to Ocean Star.  Its not completly translated, but its very good and it got me wondering what other imports i missed.  Any suggestions?

Toss up between Chrono Trigger and Secret of Mana.  I never really got in to the whole Final Fantasy thing.

Well if we're going OT, then what you ought to be playing is Link to the Past. But the dude's after Square games.

LOL Sorry, I always call them Platform Games, and think of RPG's as the ones you all sit around a table rolling dice for....

Just got an image of someone rolling on a D6 to see if their head collides with a brick with a feather on it ;)

Oh yes, and as far as the Topic is concerned, Ranarama on the Speccy :)

1). FF6, I mean even if its for Kefka alone :D
- (Shared first place) Chrono trigger, cool and complex story. Not your average bad guy/good guy. Nice time travel system. Good plot, good graphics, good battle system, etc etc.
2). Tales of Phantasia. Good game.
3). Terranigma, I dunno but the whole story around it just fascinated me. It had a nice Zelda battle system. Even better then the Zelda one even.
4). Zelda. Yes it was good but became boring after playing it a while. Too linear but still an awesome game.
5). Bahamut Lagoon. Just a plain more then good game.

-EDIT: Whoops... not all Square :p My bad...

I will brook no criticism of Zelda. Not one tiny scrap. Everyone bow down and worship its magnificence. Then watch this.

1) Romancing Saga 3, non-linear is great
2) Final Fantasy VI, it ruled, though it was pretty easy...
3) Final Fantasy IV, my first RPG
4) Chrono Trigger, fun, very fun
5) Final Fantasy V, neat system, didn't like the plot/characters
6) Final Fantasy II
7) Seiken Densetsu 3
8) Bahamut Lagoon

Yes, yes DG we all fear and respect the almighty Zelda.:nod:

Tales of Phantasia and Terranigma look pretty cool and i just got Bahamut Lagoon, :yes:.  Has any one played Front Mission?  Wanna know if its worth the time i spend looking for a good translation.

BTW I shouldn't have specified squaresoft, but thats what i think of when im talking about consol RPGs

Front Missions's great, not sure how good the translation is though. Only played the jap version. Customizing those 'bots is fun.

and if it's any oldy RPG here're some I like...

Fire Emblem (5 I think), fun SRPG
Der Langrisser, pretty fun SRPG, graphics look old though
Mother 2 (Earthbound), hilarious, didn't like the battles
Dragon Quest 5 and 6 (called Dragon Warrior in America)
Dragon Quest 3 Remake, looks are one par (or better) with 6
Lunar (Sega Saturn), old RPG, but it had some voice acting!

For Square? Final Fantasy IV all the way.

Overall? Tales of Phantasia is hands down my favorite. Chrono Trigger wasn't bad, neither was Legend of Zelda, but I loved Tales of Phantasia's battle system.

I'm gonna wait for Star Ocean to be completely translated before I start playing it.

Seiken Densetsu 3 - Kick ass game with multiple choices for main character and companions.

Tales of Phantasia - Real time combat.  Need I say more?

Chrono Trigger - Best story and character development I've seen in a game to date.  Awesome graphics as well.

Final Fantasy III - Great story and characters

Super Mario RPG - Played it once, loved it, didnt want to spoil the greatness by playing it again.

Shadowrun - Very good use of a psudo-3D environment with a touch of "Total Recall"ishness to the story.

Secret of Mana - A good story with real time combat and believable characters.  But whats with the pink head-gear?


These great games are in no particular order, but the best of them I believe would be, Chrono Trigger.

EDIT: Oops, Shadowrun is not Squaresoft, its Capcom.

I think you're missing out, mate. :) Find Chrono Trigger on a SNES emulator somewhere, and play it... it's just so... clever. There's like seventeen alternate endings and they all weave in and out. The only game that ever did time travel right, IMHO.
