    Chrono Trigger, Secret of Mana, Final Fantasy II and Shadow Run. Awesome games with great replayability!

    On the Super Nintendo?
    Probably Chrono Trigger. I can’t think of another Super Nintendo roleplaying title that is as fun to look at, listen to, or play.

    Without a doubt, my favorite is Chrono Trigger. I actually recently replayed it with an emulator, though using a Game+ file so I could go through the game pretty quickly, and it still holds up very great.

    Final Fantasy III (now known as Final Fantasy VI to take the Japan-only games into account) was also awesome.

    Then if one counts adventure/RPG’s, with live fighting instead of battle menus, The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past and Secret of Mana were awesome, and Illusion of Gaia wasn’t half bad, either.

    Hands down it would be: Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past

    I don’t think I’ll ever be able to top my experiences with Final Fantasy 6/3us. The first game with a storyline intense enough to actually make me cry.

    A long time ago I would have said Final Fantasy II. But now, I’ve got to go with Earthbound.

    Now that you mention it, Tortimer, that reminds me — I definitely would have to go with Earthbound.

    I don’t consider Zelda: ALTTP an RPG (I’d call it an adventure game), but I guess you could maybe consider it that way if you really stretched the modern definition of RPG.

    I did enjoy Chrono Trigger quite a bit as well. But nothing will ever top Earthbound in my mind.

    I remember the RPG vs adventure game dichotomy was strong back in the 8 & 16-bit eras (i.e., nobody would have called Zelda an RPG back then), but being a bit out of the loop on modern RPG’s, does that distinction still exist today? Or is no one making RPG’s with battle menus any more? I assume at least the Final Fantasy series must still be battle menu based, right?
