There are many top 10 lists out there of best rpgs for the PlayStation, but they're all clogged up with the Final Fantasy series, so I wondered, what would a top 10 look like if I eliminated those games from the running? In fact, I pretty much eliminated all but one Square game, so here is the result!

Lunar has by far one of the best stories I've seen in ANY media. When I finished it, I thought it's the kind of story I'd like to introduce to my son one day (he was a baby at the time). Now he's 17 and he finished it. :)

I've been playing this game since SegaCD! The story changes a little every remake, but still the same idea all around. I have it on a PSP emulator that I've only tried out for about 20 minutes, but it looks phenomenal!! Oh! And there's a Lunar 2! "The Eternal Blue" Not as good, but still great! IMO.

If it didn't bear the "Chrono" moniker, I think people would appreciate the game more. Visuals and especially music are crazy gorgeous, and it's got high replayability with all the characters. Unfortunately, it gets help up against Trigger and is viewed as an unworthy sequel. Which it really isn't meant to be. It's no Xenogears or Grandia to me, but it definitely gets brushed aside way too often.

@@demonpride1975 the director knew how much time and $ he had for the game and just went way overboard with how much he tried to cram in there. i like the story in xenogears but there is quite a bit that was not all that great and could have easily been cut without compromising the main plot. some of the overly silly characters didn't really fit in with the more serious story anyhow so i doubt anyone would have missed them. the story just dragged on for way too long at times and the game could have benefitted in every way by shortening it a bit imo.
