FFVIII is underrated... I still need to finish a max-stat playthrough someday. it's probably the best game ever to do something like that with, given the level scaling and the ease of obtaining endgame items from the card game.

fuck, now I really want to do that. see what you've done?! lol

[Tyrath]

8's Omega Weapon is still the most frustrating boss of my childhood because I didn't wanna beat him using invincibility potions. I may have to replay this soon now too ><

Top 5 geez that's really tough. In no specific order:
Xenogears
FF7
FF10
Chrono Trigger
Star Ocean Second Story

Most of the FF games are absolutely awesome. The first really was blast despite it being imperfect at the time. I think with the newer iterations they really perfected that game. That's why I wouldn't mind seeing more remakes of a lot of classics.

Also another franchise game that got screwed by poor sales was Xenosaga. It was better than .dot hack which had 7 games from the same company but given Xenosaga unfamiliar subject material and huge emphasis on story it really got passed over.

2. The Legend of Dragoon (F Albert and that stupid pole was twitchy as hell)

Holy crap I couldn't agree w/ you more . I used Lavitz because his polearm was actually slow enough for you to time everything but Albert was <Impossible to Gauge>!! Last time I played this on my PS3, the final fight was so laggy that I couldn't do any combos lol. Still a great game despite that though.

1. Final Fantasy 9 (First RPG, replayed it so many times)

I honestly didn't play a lot of RPGs before this gen of consoles. The ones I do remember from back then are Mario RPG for N64 and Dark Cloud for ps2. If MMOs are counted I would have to say FFXI and even WoW(I played it too much).

The only current-gen RPGs I've played and would remember to mention are ME 1 and 2, ranked in reverse order. Keep in mind, the only JRPG I've tried since... Dragon Quest VIII(wich was good) is about 2 hrs of Folklore, so I can't list any of those goods ones.

So, with my limited playing:

1) FFXI
2) ME2
3) WoW
4) ME1
5) Tie due to fuzzy memory from so long ago: Dark Cloud, Mario RPG, Dragon Quest 8, Folklore and one other sequel for ps2 about a female demon(?) the sequel was a button masher and the first was traditional RPG.

[Zetanio]

So are we counting Zelda or not?
If not, I change that to ME:2

[MoogleAura]

Star Ocean 2
Shadow Hearts 2
