    Greatest console RPG of all time

    Just another OT thread to go along with the rest.

    My favorites are Chrono Trigger and Lunar: Silver Star Story.

      All the old Zelda games were fun...not sure if the original Mega Man and Super Mario Bros. counts though.

        good choice man, lunar is one of my all time favs. but Shining Force or Dark Wizard(sega cd title...was wicked, if anyone has this i want it) are right up there with it.

          Consoles are evil.

          There is no console with games that match a computer, nor is there a console that performs as good.

          But I like Zelda and the first Super Mario Bros.

            ChronoTrigger was the BEST RPG ever, hands down. Baldurs Gate-style games are good too (Icewind Dale, Torment, etc), but they are for PC :-)

            I'm also a big fan of all the FF games. Playstation has some good ones too, like StarOcean: The Second Story, and Legend of the Dragoon.

              My choice is Parasite Eve for the original playstation.

              O damn, I can't count the number of hours I spent playing that. More than 50 definatly. I really liked how the game played so I just got hooked...

                ah! Zelda was too confusing!

                I like Gauntlet Legeon

                The PS2 one has much better graphics, it's beast.

                  The Legend of Zelda.

                  Gauntlet Legends and Dark Legacy (or whatever the new arcades are named) are really great for arcades, since you can resume your progress...

                  I really dig the Resident Evil genre too.

                          Saga Frontier (the 2nd one in this series bought the farm right out of the gate)
                          cant go worng with a game that can be played 7 different times with a different storyline for each charcter

                          FF1, 2, 3, 9 (havent played the others) now when is X comin out.... i only got 3% more to go in GT3A-spec

                          summoner was a little stange... but still not bad if you have it for the PS2 goto the credits view them then hit X while they are scrolling..... FYI goto the bathroom before doing thing... you will thank me later

                              Gauntlet Legends isn't an RPG, in any way I consider it. Yes, you "level up" your character, but there is no attempt at a plotline, and all you do is hack away at badguys constantly. RPGs involve a lot more than that.

                              The same goes for a lot of other games people consider RPGs.
