That's a bit unfair, wouldn't you think?

There are plenty of RPGs I prefer over several main installments of Final Fantasy; Xenogears, Vagrant Story, Dragon Quest VIII, Disgaea, Valkyria Chronicles, FFT are all, in my opinion, better than FF VII and VIII.

good choices

I'm surprised that I missed Secret of Mana and Chrono Trigger though.

on that note, it's too bad SoM3 never came out of Japan, that game was pretty damn good, I think I'll just label you as a "mostly" Square Fanatic instead.

I agree, it was pretty good.

I don't think I'd agree with any label you'd try to apply. Surely you can't accurately do so from only hearing a few preferences. True, I loved just about all of their older stuff, but honestly... what JRPG fan didn't?

To be honest, I much prefer the efforts of Atlus, NIS, Intelligent Systems and especially Level-5 over Square for the past 7-8 years.

I prefer SoM over SD3 though. (whats with calling seiken densetsu 3 SoM3 anyway? if anything, it should be SoM2. I mean who calls Mother 3 Earthbound 3?) I don't like the battle system in SD3, I like the one with percents better.

I'm with you there. I, too, much prefer SoM. Being able to play multiplayer was the largest divide between the two for me.

Both games have 3-player support. You just have to patch SD3 to do so (you can get translation+3player patch in one I believe). As in matter of fact, me and 2 of my classmates just beat SoM few days ago and are playing SD3 now (both with 3 players).

Ah, I knew it had it, I just didn't think it was available to us in NA. Just wouldn't be the same though, for me at least.
