This kind of piggybacks onto another thread. Square put out a  lot of great RPGs on PS1. But they weren’t the only ones. Once FF7 took off almost every company was bringing in the RPGs. What is your favorite?

Bite my shiny metal cockpit!

My choices

1- DQ VII
2- Valkyrie Profile
3- Star Ocean 2nd Story



Suikoden II by a wide margin. Barely a competition.



Out of the 9 games listed, I've only beaten LoD.  However, Suikoden 1 is a masterpiece, so it gets my vote.

Reading the options for the poll, I realize how much of a Squaresoft fanboy I was back in those days. I haven't played any of the titles listed but played most of what Square released for the PS1.



Signature goes here!

1. The Legend of Dragoon
2. Grandia
3. Suikoden II



Digimon World, Digimon World 2, and Digimon World 3 were fantastic RPGs for the PS1 not made by Square.



Vandal Hearts it would still be top if I included Square RPG's I'd also put Suikoden II and Wild Arms there as well then after that a lot of Square games get mixed in with others.



Suikoden II, it has some of the most brilliant writing I've seen in a game and lots of memorable moments and characters.
