Ark...give me Arc back!!

lol that was for a friend.

Just play Chrono Cross!

Or since everyone else is just spewing suggestions without reading comprehension, try Legend of Legaia and Xenogears!

Ark...give me Arc back!!

And I just sold off a copy of Arc the Lad Collection too

Chrono Cross is fun, but not as good as trigger IMHO.  The soundtrack is amazing like others have said though, it's basically the Chrono Trigger arrange album of the time. 

From your list though, I would say BoF IV.  It's a solid RPG romp and won't take too long to get into and play through from my remembrances of it.

Beyond The Beyond
Arc the Lad Collection

I like your taste in games sir.  I wonder why no one has listed DiscWorld though?  Though technically NOT a RPG, but still...storyline and all.  A worthy addition to the PS1 library.

If you dont mind dealing with a translation or have a basic understanding of Japanese, Growlanser is the best RPG on PS1.

Star Ocean 2nd Story is a very enjoyable RPG!

Suikoden II  There's rumors it may be coming to the PSN finally  !?

[InfraMan]

so i just unboxed my PS1 that has been stashed away for a bit.
i want to start a new RPG this weekend and im torn on where to focus the time.
these are my choices...

chrono cross
legend of dragoon
breath of fire IV
vagrant story

any suggestions?

Vagrant Story is far and away my favorite PS1 RPG. The story is great and there's a ton of depth to the gameplay, yet it never becomes over-complicated. I really can't think of anything to compare it to, as I haven't played anything else quite like it.

I have both Discworld games. Except for Discworld Noir (European release maybe?), but I think that was only released on the PC. I suggest if you are going for a epic go with Dragon Warrior 7 or better yet Temcos Deception.

Suikoden II  There's rumors it may be coming to the PSN finally  !?

I'll take that, & hope for 3, 4, & Tactics, but more then anything, I want me a Suikoden 6!

I still have my copy of suikoden II but a psn release would let more people play it.Beside the fact,how valuable the game has become it is one of the best PS1 rpgs.

Breath of Fire is getting no love in here. I'd play Breath of Fire IV first. Didn't really like Chrono Cross much, but maybe I went into it with a 'This is supposed to be a Chrono Trigger sequel' mindset and I don't think I gave it a fair chance. So either BoFIV or Chrono Cross.

I can't suggest BOF IV to someone who didn't play 3 and doesn't have it available.

Me too, I still have all my Suikodens, including the PSP game that still hasn't been localized now that I think about it!  I'd purchase it on PSN just to support it!

Why? I liked 4, possibly more than 3...
