We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson

Someone just let me know if I did this right. :)

Hard choices though since I played all but 4 on the list.

iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

Currently playing:

Final Fantasy VI (iOS), Final Fantasy: Record Keeper (iOS) & Dragon Quest V (iOS)     

    

Got a retro room? Post it here!

I call shenanigans on any JRPG showdown where the first two people score FF VI down.

 Yeah tell me about it... people just don't appreciate great games anymore. :(

I also followed the voting for FFVI on this thread and with mine included, it seems to be an 8 instead of an 11. People must really hate it.

Hard to choose, I love me some Vagrant Story and Fire Emblem. Leaving out FFVIII is punishable by death.



I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.

NO NO, NO NO NO.

 I wasn't very partial to the game, and there were already a lot of FF's on the list, but I do agree that it deserves a spot on there.

kindom hearts is not what you call a jrpg
it's a not-traditional action rpg and is misplaced in this list

 Point taken, but Square made it, and some people would be upset if it wasn't here.  By those criteria Folklore and Vagrant Story wouldn't be on the list either.  The main cutoff to make the list is just whether or not it is Japanese and is considered by most to be an RPG.
