Stemming off the PS2 RPG topic, what is your favorite PSX RPG's (preferably non-action)? I've been replaying PSX games, and feedback would help me compose a list of games I don't remember as well or completely missed out on. Preferably, leave out remakes of SNES games.

My favorites:

Final Fantasy IX (VII is worth mentioning, and I couldn't even bring myself to finish VIII)
Chrono Cross
Xenogears (I still think it's the best of the Xeno's)
Suikoden II
...
Thousand Arms (Yes, I liked this game, bar the story)

Yes, I realize these are mostly Square titles.

FF IX and FF Tactics are some of the best things to ever come out bearing the final fantasy logo

Star ocean 2 was probably the best star ocean in the series (although 3 is still my favorite)

I remember having a lot of fun with Vagrant Story, though I never finished it.

When the union's inspiration through the workers' blood shall run
There can be no power greater anywhere beneath the sun
Yet what force on earth is weaker than the feeble strength of one
For the Union makes us strong

1. Xenogears - to this day is my all time favorite game in this genre of gaming, and has been for the past 10-11 years or so since i first got my hands on it. Nothing else compares to it's magnificenc.
2. Final Fantasy VII - Yeah i know a lot of people say this, but this is so far my favorite FF game. I love it.
3. Tales of Phantasia - My favorite port of my second favorite Tales of game.

Xenogears

Final Fantasy Tactics, while great, is a strategy game not an RPG

Phantasia? From what I know it was never on the PSX in the US. Did you play the Japanese version?

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me

Thank you everyone who thought that FF IX was good. Not that many people say its good, since most people played VII anyways.

FF VII-9, Chrono Cross.

FF9 is basically the only FF I like other than IV. I really don't care for the FF series. X_X

Oh, that's right. I had completely forgotten about that since I've been playing the PSP version of the game for so long.... I'd assume you'd either have to hack your PSX or play a rom of the game on your computer, correct?

You can also just get a rom, patch it, and load it up on a PSP running custom firmware, which is what I did.

That involves a hacked PSP, I assume? My PSP isn't hacked at all, so it's probably not possible. I DO have the GBA version, but the gameplay is just awful in that version. I have the Japanese Narakiri Dungeon X remake of Phantasia too, which I'm currently playing.
