What is with the Final Fantasy 8 love in this thread? It is generally an unpopular game in the series (for, in my opinion, good reasons), so it is odd to see so much love here. Not that I am stomping on your parade or anything haha. ;)

You sure about that? People generally refer to the glory days of Final Fantasy as 7-9 often including one or both of 6/10 as well. But still 8 is included in there

Final Fantasy 8 was viewed as a huge letdown gameplay-wise and is generally considered the worst on Playstation from what I've seen. So it was interesting to see more than one or two people mention it in this thread, in sequence. Personally I would rate IX, VI, IV, X, V and VII above it. Nevertheless, the game gets hate for its broken gameplay mechanics, realistic style, and drab story.

FF7, 8, and Tactics were all brilliant. It is FF9 that's easily the worst on Playstation, it was a game about kids with tails involved in a completely uninteresting and unmemorable story.

 

When it comes to Chrono Trigger though, there is no RPG which does so many things correctly and well. Every part that went into Chrono Trigger is one of the greatest examples of those parts in any RPG ever made. Even with its aged 16-bit graphics, it is still one of the prettiest games ever made, looking not justbetter, but MUCH better than most RPGs today. Chrono Trigger is arguably the greatest game in history.
