Which had better RPGs? SNES or PS1?

SNES has some legendary RPGs, Chrono Trigger is one of the best ever.

But FFVII, love it or hate it, really blew the doors open for RPGs in America. After that, we got a TON of RPGs, especially JRPGs, and especially on the PS1. Between Squaresoft and Working Design's releases alone, the PS1 takes it. Not only the JRPGs, but thanks to the popularity of Diablo, we started seeing action-RPGs proliferate more, as well. And out of the consoles, PS1 got the best selection of those, as well (though nowhere near the PC, still).

There were so many different RPGs, too, between sub-genre-stretching titles like Diablo, Parasite Eve, King's Field, Legend of Legaia, FF Tactics, and Brave Fencer Musashi; and we STILL had the old stalwarts like Dragon Warrior, Breath of Fire, and Final Fantasy. And we even got some arguably superior ports of last-gen titles like Lunar Silver Story and Eternal Blue, Final Fantasy V & VI, Final Fantasy Origins, and Chrono Trigger.

PS1 wins.

Both equally for me, I however have moe fun finding and collecting the SNES.

sworddude:
There are barely any RPG's on the snes if you don't count the japanese library

And if you do actrually include the japanese library than the ps 1 would beat the snes by miles since there are a crap ton of ps1 rpg's that have never been released in the west.

I don't think I can even name 10- 20 rpg's for the snes if It's only for the western released games. the snes has some great rpg's but there aren't to many so it is not the console for an rpg gamer.

The only big worthy exclusive titles on snes are terranigma, earthbound, mario rpg, secret of evermore, illusion of time and secret of mana.

wartoy:
PS1 has way more rpgs than snes.

i used to until the collecting scene for retro Nintendo blew the hell up. Most of the SNES games I currently have were found over 3-years ago, haven't picked up a whole lot for it since.
