Mario RPG, FF III, EarthBound or Chrono Trigger?

Super Mario RPG ranks the lowest I think, but there's no denying it's a fantastic game.

Between the other three choices, it's like picking which movie in the original Indiana Jones trilogy is best. They're all superb.

Personal preference makes me choose Final Fantasy VI, but Chrono Trigger and Earthbound are essential.

The Last Crusade was the best.  Last Crusade > Temple of Doom > Raiders of the Lost Ark
See, that was easy

But what if I threw a monkey wrench at you and said that Temple of Doom was the best? From top to bottom, it's jam packed with adventure and interesting characters. Chrono Trigger is Temple of Doom in my analogy.

Raiders is Final Fantasy VI, the oldest of the three, the most straight forward "Empire vs. Little Guy" story with bad guys driven mad for power.

Last Crusade is Earthbound, the funniest one with an emphasis on family.


Does this mean that I secretly like Chrono Trigger most?? I DON'T KNOW!

Definitely FFIII (VI).

can't say i've played enough of FF6
and i have never played chrono trigger (dodging flames now)

so between super mario rpg and earthbound...
yikes.
i like them both a lot. uh... shit.
uhm.
fuck.

my aunt had earthbound, i had SMRPG as a kid.
my aunt still owns earthbound and the guide, mind you. i tried buying them off her. no dice.

but i remember being entranced by that game. very intrigued, because the four character following was so unique to me and the battle system was just... yeah.
i really fucking wanted to play. she never let me, fear of me saving over her file, so i had to play it later in life but i really wanted to play that fucking game.

SMRPG got me into rpgs tho. i still own my copy and for a while i played it once a year. it's so easy tho, it's incredibly easy to breeze through. hmm...

ugh, i'll have to say SMRPG because of memories and stuff. nostalgia is heavy here.
but earthbound is hella close.

i have played a bit off FF6 tho, it is fantastic.
i need to play CT, just haven't.

I assume when you say FFIII you mean 6? Definitely FF6 for me. I love me some FF6. My order would go:

1. FF6
2. Chrono Trigger
3. EarthBound
4. Mario RPG - Though I haven't played it for very long.

Of that list I've only played Chrono Trigger and SMRPG. I haven't finished either of them.

I think Bravely Default and Bravely Second has eclipsed them all.

For me Chrono Trigger is the best game ever made!
