FFV
Lunar the Silver Star
Grandia
Xenogears
Dragon Warrior VII
Breath of Fire III
Panzer Dragoon Saga
Shining Force III
Chrono Cross

I haven't played FFV all the way through and haven't played Panzer Dragoon Saga at all, but I wouldn't think you're so cool for "being the only one to suggest the others"


most of those would be on my list of favorites. And Chrono Cross is horribly overrated. Xenogears may be the best of all time.

I'm not going to be straining to look cool in a thread about one of the dorkiest hobbies in existence. I was just throwing some of the less widely appreciated games into the discussion.

If you can find Panzer Dragoon Saga somewhere, you really should. It's kind of short, but it's easily one of the best games of that generation. Chrono Cross is horribly unlucky for being the sequel to a game that can never be adequately followed up. Xenogears should have been the greatest of all time, despite it's flaws, but the developers seemingly gave up by the time they got to the second disk (which is almost understandable, because that game is a behemoth).

To the guy who mentioned Vagrant Story, I'm with you, great game. The guy behind that game (and FF Tactics) is currently in charge of FFXII, so I'm pretty pumped.

Oh and another underappreciated great: Skies of Arcadia. One of my top five.
