Best rpgs you've ever played & why?

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..
