Which console do you think was more inconic for JRPGs and RPGs :D. Chrono Cross, FFVII, FFVIII, Xenogears, vagrant story, tales of fantasia, versus the likes of Chrono Trigger, FFIII (VI), Mario RPG, secret of mana, earthbound, secret of evermore. :) Which RPG heavyweight do you think released more quality RPGs? |

Are you talking about the remake on the PlayStation? Or are you talking about Tales of Destiny? Either way, PlayStation gets the win. Secret of Mana is one of my favorite games of all time. I spent hours on Chrono Trigger, Romancing SaGa 3, Breath of Fire, Breath of Fire II, Tales of Phantasia, Soul Blazer, Illusion of Gaia, and so much more. However, I spent even more hours on PlayStation mainly thanks to its RPGs. SaGa Frontier is my favorite game of all time; even more so than Secret of Mana. And that's just the start. My time was spent with FFVII through FFIX, Vagrant Story, Chrono Cross, Xenogears, Tales of Destiny, Tales of Eternia, Legend of Mana, SaGa Frontier 2, FF Tactics, and...I could go on for days. Both systems were pure magnificence for RPG players. |

It's a tough call, I would probably give the edge to PlayStation as well. It had more variety, and with Chrono Cross, Suikoden, Final Fantasy, Legend of Dragoon, Breath of Fire III/IV, you can't go wrong with that! Plus because a lot of SNES RPGs never made it out of Japan until later, that unfortunately lessens what the SNES has to offer. |

That is really tough call. I am definitely partial to the PS1's library, but quite honestly the PS1 definitely was more of a successor in terms of the types of games to the SNES than the N64 was. I could be wrong about this, but in terms of both quality and quantity of RPGs I think that the PS1 has it beat despite games like FFIV, FFVI, Chrono Trigger, and Super Mario RPG being on the SNES. EDIT: hahaha I just realized after typing this that all of those games except for Mario RPG are on the PS1 also. Yeah, PS1 has it beat for sure :p |
