@cklmb

definetely not

Chrono Trigger & FF6 disagree

ps1 is the greatest. end of story.

CC and FF6 (though not as good as the originals) was already on PSX. Add FF7, Xenogears, Vagrant story and Chrono Cross and you can forgetaboutit....

But then again ckmlb has a point since PSX games can be played on the PS2. So technically the 60gb PS3 is the best RPG console!


Eh, i don't know. Personally i'm not sure i'm willing to count BC. Aside from which the CT port sucked. If you counted ports i'd say PS1 and SNES were close

bud I'd still say SNES which had a lot of solid RPGs as well, along with Earthbound an RPG I really think deserves to be up there in the conversations of great RPGs of all time.

Of course I also thought FF7, Chrono Cross and Vagrant Story all sucked and gave all three games away.


What was so bad with the port? That was the only version I played and I loved it. From what I remember, the major differences were the addition of anime cut scenes and slight delay/load time for battles.


The sound quality was way worse... and if i remember correctly for some reason the colors were more dull. Also it didn't run as smoothly.

I mean, it's still good. Just not as good as the SNES copy... which my friend has. Reminds me I need to play FF4 again. It's actually superior to it's SNES version due to the addition of things cut out.

 


Aha! caught you red handed with a contradiction!

And yes, CC on PSX was not as good as the SNES except for the anime cutscenes. The loading times were also annoying on many of the PSX-SNES ports. But, as you said, it's still good and there's still many RPGs on the PS2/ PSX that's not listed which makes the PS3 60gb the best RPG console of all tyme! If not the PS3 60gb then the PS2.


Well I mea sucked compared to the SNES version. Which is why I consider the SNES better even counting the SNES to PSX ports. SNES also has quite a lot of rock solid RPGs that haven't been mentioned here.

Hard to tell what's a "JRPG" or not because i don't know who made a number of games... and whether to count games like EVO in the mix.

But i mean... Lufia 1&2, Breath of Fire, Illusion of Mana, Illusion of Gaia, Terraanimiga.

Then you've got off beaten games like Robotrek.

The PS2 had more quanity, but i'd argue the SNES had more quality, with a decent amout of depth of quanity.

PS1 wise, well, i'd still take the SNES over the PS1... which I think also had higher quality.

If you combine the PS1, and PS2 RPGs together... yeah combined their better.

Though until Battlefield of the Valkrie comes out I think the PS2 has beter RPGs then the 60 Gig PS3 cause all the PS3 RPGs do is brign down the average quality.

Well actually Battlefield of the Valkrie is a SRPG not a JRPG.  Unless people are counting SRPGs... then I actually do give the PS1 a nod over the SNES, because Ogre Battle is a wash per both systems, PS1 is better translated along with the port issues... and it has Tactics Ogre... which is an SNES game, but the SNES game never got localized... and Front Mission 3... and FFT.

Mostly it's Tactics Ogre that puts it over the top though... which is ironic.
