i actually tried both CT/CC
played CT for a few hrs and got bored
played CC and got confused with their complex eclipse system, only played 10hrs, by the time i bought the game (b/c of it's rave reviews) the graphics were dated

i actually tried to get back into FF6 ( a game i almost finished) but the graphics were too crappy (by today's standards) that it was a bit unbearable

i think we've become spoiled by these new next gen super powered graphic consoles

Dude, that's terrible. You know as well as I know that good graphics don't make a game, but if you're spoiled to the new high end graphics, then there's nothin' we can do. I personally HATE FFX and FFX-2. The graphics are AWESOME, yes. The gameplay? Shit. The older Final Fantasies, like 4,6,7 are QUALITY. The graphics in CC are choppy, I will admit it, but the storyline, music and gameplay make up for it. FF8 had decent gameplay but the storyline was messed up a bit, and choopy graphics. The same applies to FF9. I love FF and will continue to buy the games, even if they are sucky becuz it's part of my collection.

+1

Final fantasy VI was the greatest RPG ever... followed closely by chrono trigger and final fantasy V.

hated chrono cross though.

i may have to bust out chrono trigger again... ive gotten like, 100 different endings with that game

...right now I'm playing through Earthbound again on my dreamcast... that game was hella underrated, but it's a fucking awesome RPG, if not just for the quirky jokes and random weird shit throughout the game.

I also recommend Secret of Evermore and Terranigma for the SNES
...and Phantasy Star IV and Landstalker and Shining Force 2 for the Genesis

Damn , it's very difficult to find these games here...
I haven't bought a RPG since last year so I am playing now FFV...

Am I the only one who thinks FF9 is the best RPG ever? (*haven't played the classic FF7 yet)

Shining Force 2! Wow I remember playing that like some kind of animal! I passed it too, same withthe prequel.

In theory, one could download ROMs of these games, and play them on an emulator.....TRANCE ADDICT .COM DOES NOT SUPPORT FILESHARING

Yes. It was part of the Final Fantasy Chronicles game package, which included Final Fantasy IV (SNES Final Fantasy II) and ChronoTrigger.

emulators for dreamcast, my friend.

it's like having a Genesis, SNES, NES, Gameboy Color, Game Gear, Atari, Amstrad, MSX, PSX, and Neo Geo all for one console. it's much better than playing them on the computer, since it's a console, and you don't need a modchip.

I'm a firm believer in the dreamcast (they're only like 30 bucks nowadays too)

i just beat earthbound btw and now i'm busting out Illusion of Gaia... RPG's are teh win

one of the things that made trigger what it was for a lotta people, was the melding of the DQ-style toriyama art with the FF system...

now that enix and square are one company why isn't there a new work of this nature yet?

BTW did anybody see the trailer for this unofficial Chrono sequel that of course got the cease & desist treatment?

looked beautiful, it's exactly how I think a lotta people imagined chrono trigger would have looked if brought into true 3d with the toriyama style art!

There is, it's called Dragon Quest 8.
