| Brii said: Gotta say, the Final Fantasy series never really grabbed me. Though the argument in the OP seemed to be a little .. weak. My personal favorites (not necessarily games I'd call the BEST in the genre) would have to be Shadow Hearts, Xenoblade, Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey, Persona 2, and Tales of the Abyss. Unfortunately, I missed out on a lot of classics from the PS1 as a kid since we never owned the console, and playing them now just doesn't have the same impact. |
Sure it does. Xenogears took the top spot in my favorite 5 games of all time only recently taking it from FF IV. I didn't play it for the first time until my 30s well into 7th gen.
It was clunky and ugly as hell of course but my jaw dropped and the hairs on my neck stood up so many times. The story revelations....wow.
Good JRPGs are timeless, though the early 3D doesn't stand up.
