Such as Chrono Trigger for the SNES or the Final Fantasy series.
I'm almost finished with Chrono Trigger. I am really enjoying it, I might try Chrono Cross if I can get a working PS emulator.
I'm going to play Final Fantasy Mystic Quest next I think.
I've played Final Fantasy 7 but I never beat it.
What games would you suggest? Any games for the sega genesis?

Wicked old RPG game... DarkStone.

Chrono Cross is a meh game. Trigger is much better.. you can barely call cross a sequel. It's redeeming quality is the massive list of characters you can recruit. Tho, it all evens out so it DOESN'T MATTER who you choose to be in your team really.. guess just pick whose skin you like the best.
Mystic Quest is OK. I like it, but it's kinda bland. It's completely linear (no side quests) your team is always changing, it's got the classic "must save 4 crystals or earth is destroyed" theme.. It was good for the time. Story isn't that bad. Game mechanics leave alot to be desired.. So basically it's not great but it's worth a play through.
FF7 owns bro you should play it again. I've beaten it so many times.. now adays when I play it I don't even really beat it. Caz Sephiroth is SO easy compared to the real bosses of the game (optional) Ruby and Emerald weapons.
U play FF8? That one is my favorite. the stat system is a little tricky to get used to but once you get it down it's the most customizable FF there is. Any character can do anything you want (Physical, magic, summons, items). The story is great, too. I think it's the graphics that turn alot of people off... I hated the game when it first came out, for years. Then when I actually played thru and beat it I realised how stupid I was.
Earthbound and Super Mario RPG are my favorite SNES rpgs right along with Chrono Trigger, I would suggest those if you want to play another good turn based RPG. Man that was the golden age.
Oooo another good lesser known RPG for SNES is Star Ocean. It was never released in the USA. It came out RIGHT before ps1 hit the markets thus it uses a bitchin graphics card. It even has VOICE ACTORS. It's a good, long story. n you can have many different party members as well. In fact you gain/lose party members based on actions in the game and answers you give to questions. Some characters are only available if you have/don't have certain ppl in your party. Then there's the skill system where you can learn A TON of different abilities such as cooking, music, painting, alchemy, blacksmithing, etc etc which makes for awesome customization. Like I said it was never released in the US but because it's so good you can download an SNES rom with a translation added to it.
As far as psx.. there's alot of "meh" rpgs.. that's around the time the industry started caring more about graphics than actual game play/story.
FF tactics is really fun. The story confuses me alot of the time tho. Also used to hate this game but once you get going it is really fun (I play on emulator with speed increased caz the default speed is too slow). Lot of customization here, too. It's like Tactics Ogre if you ever played that. You can pick between like 15 different classes.

Well, the older ones were pretty inaccurate, not that they're particularly accurate now
The original was called the RPG-2 and it was largely based on the panzerfaust. It was renowned for its inexpensiveness, effectiveness, and ease of oper...
Oh.
Did anyone get stuck on chrono trigger forever because their emulator wouldn't let them press l and r at the same time to put in the "xaby" password for that one door?
I figured it out eventually, but I wandered around that stupid area for like two weeks because I thought I had to find something else before I could get through
^FF tactics is my favorite RPG series. If you have a DS get tactics advance 2. Cheesy and has one of those artificial difficulty spikes later on but it's a lot of fun, over 400 missions if I remember right

Don't go into Chrono Cross expecting it to be Chrono Trigger 2 it's more of its own game. Final Fantasy 6 is still awesome to this day I've been playing through it again.

Baulders gate and icewind dale for life foo....these were for pc btw
-
It's all about final fantasy tactics and breath of fire 3 motherfuckers.
-
I think I liked BoF4 better actually. Fou-lu was a pretty cool guy if you can get past his annoying as fuck ye olde chinglish.

Oh damn how did I forget about BOF 3 I love that game. Tactics still has one of the best story lines ever great game as well
-
Never played BoF3 because I owned the BoF 1 and 2 cartridges (back when my collection was bitchin') n as much as I wanted to love them.. they sucked.
I'll try 3 tho.
Oh and the Dragon Warrior games for NES are great. The only RPGs on NES besides FF1 that are worth a damn, and they blow FF1 out the water.
Dragon Warriors 1-4 all good basic turn based RPGs. Medieval setting, multiple characters with alternating story lines that eventually come together. Only thing that pisses me off about that series is it's all one giant story, but the games are out of order.
Like DW1 is 4th on the timeline, DW2 is 3rd, DW3 is 5th, etc. That's an example not the actual order.

I still cum over FF7

i found a way to duplicate basically any item in the game. it's fucking hilarious. i ended up maxing all my chars stats. i had to slow everything down to the slowest speed because their attack bars filled almost instantaneously.
