The best game you have ever played.

[Esmoreit]

I hate these threads. It's like picking one of your child to be your favourite.

I want to say this about Chrono trigger though:
Chrono Trigger I played for the first time last year (it never came out in the EU) and it will probably be my only JRPG for some time, perhaps ever. From the momentI got into the time machine i was hooked. It's not my best game ever but to me, it is the game I would recommend playing to anyone to take their first steps into JRPG land.

It is not my most favourite game.

I'd give that title to Ocarina of Time. this was the defining title, the one that got me into games. I played on my snes before... all Mario's, street fighter, mortal kombat just all the classics (though I missed A link to the Past and Super metroid). I even played Mario 64 and Goldeneye prior which got me hooked bad.

But OCarina of time was the first game to show me what games and gaming were capable of in terms of story, emotion, technology and overall feel of... epicness. It got me from one amazement into another and made me realize that gaming can rival any art form.

But in terms of best... well that is a different story. I sank most hours either into Ocarina of time or Battlefield 1942 but best ever? I don't know, though Ocarina will always be a contender for that spot.
