Paper Mario: TTYD was the best-written RPG I've ever played on a console, maybe the best period, so you're definitely not alone in this.

You should put in the disclaimer that don't own any RPGs on the Playstation or Playstation 2 outside of FF7.

Oh I'm sorry, that destroys your credibility doesn't it?  Oops.

I've actually played quite a few which aren't in my profile, but I guess it's time for me to stop pretending to be the ultimate authority on RPGs.

Wait, I never did that. What crawled up your ass and died?

It's funny how it works. 

I look at your post and I see "maybe the best period" and I think to myself that it's pretty bold statement to make. 

I mean, you're saying it has better writing than Xenogears and Xenosaga.  Oh wait, your profile says you haven't played those. 

You're saying it's better than Suikoden and Persona games too.  Oh wait, you haven't played those either. 

Well gosh, that's a really bold statement to make especially when you've apparently skipped everything but FF7 on arguably the two biggest RPG consoles ever made.

I love the writing TTYD, but "best period"... I don't think I would make that claim about any RPG.  I simply haven't played nearly enough to even want to touch that topic but I find it simply fascinating that despite having not played a great many RPGs that you're perfectly fine with throwing that out there.

Shame on you for thinking a JRPG has the best writing. Planescape: Torment, Fallout 1 & 2, KOTOR 1/2, and others disagree.
