Warmor-

The 3 SNES games you listed, Illusion of Gaia, Earthbound, and Mario RPG.. I wouldn't say they sucked, but I wouldn't really say they're the 'best rpg' either..

Illusion of Gaia - Around you get Shadow ( I think that's who it was anyway ) the game becomes extremely boring, so this is usually where I stop playing.. Even once you have the option of using Freedan, it almost becomes too easy once you switch... Overall it's an ok game, if it's your first time through, =/ ( Soul Blazer was probably better than Illusion of Gaia, at least imo )

Earthbound - To be honest, I used to like this game quite a bit. I went to play this not even 2 weeks ago, and couldn't really play for more than a few hours.. After you get the nerd, it's pretty easy, with no real thinking involved.. but then again, I guess it is only a SNES game..

Mario RPG - The battle system was decent for an rpg, since you had to do more than just click and wait like a typical RPG.. but the storyline was just bad.. I personally got quite annoyed with the story, and eventually stopped reading anything that I didn't have to.. Not to mention that the max level was far too low.

The other games you listed I have no real problem with.. Chrono Cross was ok, but I never played it all the way through, so I can't exactly comment on it fully.. Chrono Trigger on the other hand, at least had something to aim for.. Trying to get all ... 7? endings without using New Game+ was always fun..

Star Ocean - Second Story- It had enough to do to keep you occupied, which is about all I look for now a days.

Lunar- I don't think i've played it, at least the name doesn't ring a bell..

Star Ocean - Till the End of Time- It starts out nice, but once you start fighting angels or whatever they were, it becomes far too easy.. You can have an exp bonus, and gain far too much exp per battle.. One plus of this SO though, it has 16:9 support, and Dolby if i'm not mistaken..

FF6 - Arguably the best one in the series

FF7 - Not as good as f6 but still extremly great

Chrono Trigger

Super Mario RPG

Deus Ex - Ok, so it was an FPS/RPG, it still kicked ass. It's a shame that they buttraped it and dumbed it down for the sequel.

WoW- Best..MMORPG..EVER.

[quote:post_uid0="Warmor"]I guess this is the best place to ask. If I were to create a RPG page, would anyone like to be staff? I would need people to play and write reviews and get screenshots on several RPG's.[/quote]
Im your main man if your going to go through with that page idea.

@SBYRD5: Yes indeed, legend of legia was uber, i still have some of the music stuck in my head a times.

SBYRD threw in some good ones I have forgoten about! Yeah...Legia...I enjoyed that, but I got stuck in this one town, that was like a tower, and at the top you have to fight some knight...could never get past that part, I should pick it up again! The thing I didn't like, was you would battle all these easy monsters, that gave nill for experience, then the boss battle would be too hard! And it would take forEVER to level up and get strong enough.

one things bothers me so i must corretc the guy...

CHRONO TRIGGER do not have 7 endings !
it has 13 !
but i don't know out of 13 how many can be achieved without new game+ !

any one can comment on those...

SILVER
EVOLUTION 1 & 2
TIME STALKERS
BLUE STINGER
SKIES OF ARCADIA
PHANTASY STAR ONLINE

i'm probably a shame to have mentionned EVOLUTION and TIME STALKERS but heck i wanted to know your opinions on those !

I think you mean the tower of sol.

I got stuck there too, you had to feed the guard dog statues that bread for them to let you past to get to the genisis tree in the basement.

And that old knight guy(Gaiza i think his name was) was pretty tough, i forgot how i beat him, ill have to unearth my old ps games tonight.

Warmor thanks alot, now i wont feel right until i type a review for that game. :O

@Karma: Evolution? Hmm..mediocore at best but then again when i had my dreamcast that was all i played.

Skies of arcadia and phantasy star online owned, but i never had the money to play PSO online...i wish i could, i heard somewhere that there was a computer version of it..

Good, then send it to me :biggrin:

Skies of Arcana, I've heard good things about that, I was thinking of picking that up for the GCN. You know, now that my fiancee left me, I have plenty of times for these games again!

evolution was decent, a bit too little on the story for me though...

i'm surprise no one ever reported on SILVEr yet, its like a very good game !
LIVE ACTION you do your own combo's and it has a good story to it as well !
a bit cheesy at start but still pretty damn good.

anyway i'm sorry to have mentionned evolutioon yeah it was pretty stupid game wise !
i liked the concept though, just like mastermaxz said, the story is childish as hell !
