I have to say, I was really surprised at how involved the story was in FF2. I was expecting it to be a generic FF1 plot but it actually delivered a half decent story.

And I agree with Mystery of the Emblem, that game was a great improvement over Shadow Dragon. 

OT: Honestly, I'll have to say Suikoden. Not sure if a lot of people have played the game but I had a blast with it. Other games would include Arc the Lad 2, SMT: Devil Summoner Soul Hackers, Dragon Quest 6. Also I think Chrono Cross is an interesting case. That game came out with excellent reception to it but over the years, there are Trigger fans that hate Cross but personally, I absolutely love it.

I recently bought Suikoden II. I played a lot of PS1 JRPG's, but shamefully must admit never to beat one. Played a most of FFVII and a bit of XenoGears/Chrono Cross, I'm really looking forward to having some spare time to beat these gems.

Howver can you really say any of these are under-rated? Never heard a single bad thing about Suikoden and Chrono Cross (just that Trigger fans prefer tigger).

P.S. YEs Chrono Trigger is my favorite JRPG, and I have yet to get into Cross (but from what I have played I loved it)

Did you have to spend a fortune on Suikoden 2? Online prices for that game are pretty high.

I don't think Chrono Cross is that underrated but I see plenty people of degrading it for not being a proper sequel. Nothing is wrong with the Suikoden games either but I think they're pretty under exposed and the series was abandoned partly due to dissapointing sales.
