Of all the JRPGs I´ve ever played, Xenogears has the best story.It´s very convoluted, and I had to look for explanation on the net, in order to try and understand it.

It´s quite complex and deep, plus it´s one of the best games I played on the PS1, a reminder of how good Square was in the 90s.

LOST ODYSSEY, a pure masterpiece from beginning to end.

Chrono Cross. *waits*

Xenogears, without a doubt. If you search through the web you will see some people saying how xenogears changed their lives. That game opened my mind.

Of all time? Suikoden 2, by far!

Lost Odyssey had me tears.

I enjoyed Star Ocean:Till the end of time a hell of a lot and its story, while a bit slow, kept me engaged the whole time. The twist near half of the game is also pretty mind bugging, for me anyways.

Valkyria Chronicles

Final Fantasy IX

I'm gonna go with Suikoden II.

The story is dark and troubling, partially because it has one of the best villains ever in Luca Blight, but mostly because it takes two best friends and throws them at one another. When their village is invaded and burned to the ground, the two friends are separated. They each end up in separate places and they each rise to power in different ways. The war and the tragedy has changed them both and made them into enemies with different perspectives and philosophies. They cannot go back but going forward means going through the other.

Damn it, that was a great game.
