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.

FFIV, FFVI, and Chrono Trigger were also on the PS1 via Final Fantasy Anthology and Chronicles. They had some issues but were largely the same game so that removes them from the table for comparison. Even with those I'd still say the PS1 by a country mile. ;)

See my edit; I came to the same realization after typing that :p

azure:
Oh, tough call. I would say PS1 for me.

matimo:
Ps1 by far.

Honestly I'd love to say PS1 because it has my favourite Final Fantasy games but I really can't think of any other RPGs on the console that I liked. Parasite Eve is okay, but I really struggle to think of it as an RPG. Always seemed more like an ATB Resident Evil to me.

Whereas SNES has more RPGs that I like, though it doesn't have my all-time favourites. And it does still have FF5 and 6 which I love nearly as much as the PS1 entries. Plus it has Chrono Trigger and Earthbound.

I'll probably go have to go with with SNES, as much as it pains me to.

(Edit: I should mention I haven't played Chrono Cross. It's difficult in the UK. Took me ages to be able to play Parasite Eve and Xenogears.)

Edit 2: In fact, you know what? Sod it. Out of revenge I'm going to go with PS1. We didn't get jack all RPGs on the SNES here in the UK and I'm salty. PS1 was the only console of the two with good RPGs here. I retract my vote and vote PS1.
