Working on another piece and want some feedback...

1. What is your favorite JPRG of all time?

2. Why is that title your favorite JRPG?

3. If you can't narrow it down to one title, feel free to list two or three and list why you liked each.

First person to list a WRPG or non-JRPG title in this thread gets a one-day ban for utter stupidity. 

Please, DO NOT list just the title of a game. 

Final Fantasy VII

Because it's the first JRPG that I've ever played, and I love Cloud.

Final Fantasy IV because it was my first.

Chrono Trigger

Because it made me cry when it was over

Final Fantasy VI

Why? It has a incredible good story who is one moment cool and the other moment very emotional.

It has great gameplay. A hell load of Characters, Summons..

Excellent music.

Etc...

Final Fantasy X and Final Fantasy XII
Because they are the only two JRPGs that I have ever played.

Oy. These votes are turning out exactly how I thought they might.

Chrono Trigger

Because it is a deity in a small grey cartridge.
One of the best stories ever put into a game, incredible characters, tight beautiful combat system, a soundtrack that is almost impossible to match, and one of the most emotionally engaging games I have ever played. Truly a god among games.

Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne.

Because it shows the sort of innovation and depth that very few other games in the genre do. It's a challenging dungeon crawler, a creature-training game similar to Pokemon, and a game world with so few cliches it's difficult to find a single aspect that's not something you've never seen in a game before.

Oh, and it's one of the few games in the genre that emphasizes gameplay over story. (Which is a good thing, since most JRPG stories are throwaway anyway.) That means no having to sit through oodles of boring dialog to get to the next dungeon. And when you DO get to the next dungeon, you actually have fun with it.

If you're willing to drop $60-$70 on a PS2 game, I can't recommend it enough. And it honestly is worth every penny.

FF VI - First game I intentionally faked sick to play (parents got suspicious on day 2). No need to praise it, it stands by itself. If I'm alive during a nuclear Holocaust, I'll play Dancing Mad as loud as I can (Also probably be peeing myself)

Chrono Trigger - First single player 24 hour marathon gaming session, never repeated (closest since then is 16 hour). Pre Work Routine involves an energy rush from listening to World Revolution.

Breath of Fire II - Alright, I gotta give it some love. Still like the intro, who doesn't like summoning dragons, or the horny flaming monkey ninja inspiration for Chimchar in pokemon. Or a horny french frog. While not on par with the above 2, it never bit me like FFXII and at least didn't tease me with only 1 meh sequel. The love is strong enough for me to even bite the bullet and buy a 360 (wincingly) if a new game in the series came out for it. Capcom? Ps3 or Wii it if you're making #6. I don't like wincing.
