no, Final Fantasy Adventure was Secret of Mana in disguise.

shadow: I bought 1 of each of the GB FF games (FF Adventure, Legends 1, 2 and 3) for 10$ a piece at gamestops. Also, as a sidenote, the other GB FF games Final Fantasy Legends 1/2/3 are actually from the SaGa series, they aren't Finaly Fantasy games at all (just like FF Adventure, they were named Final Fantasy to increase sales).

Out of the listed games, I would choose Chrono Trigger to be the greatest. I am curious to know if anyone else believes that Golden Sun belongs here. That game really pulled me in for the time that I played it. It gave me this epic feeling that I still can't shake off.

I liked those I like part 2. but I really like part one better it had serval short gomes built into one I never played the ps2 version tho.

As for golden sun It reminded me a whole whole lot of a first generation ps1 game called beyond the beyond. which I Kinda liked back in the day. But by the time it hit gba The whole idea of the simi 3d battle system lost its apeal to me and seemed cheap. I suppose if I had given the golden suns more of a chance. I could have liked them. There is a bright side to all of this tho. At least no one has mentioned pokemon as an all time fav , lol I dont think I could take it lol

Redking bro I had to put all those different ff's in there. a whole lot of people dissagree which ff is the best ff. To put just the name final fantasy and just leave it at that, wouldnt be fair cause it would cover all of final fantasy and give it a truely unfair advantage.

out of the list i picked trigger, but i think panzer dragoon saga and Skies of Arcadia are better....to name 2

**ptr.exe** · July 27th, 2005, 11:52

Seriously, how was Skies of Arcadia not on that list? if it was it would get my vote.

I decided with Chrono however i havent yet played FF6 and in some circles it is said to be better than CT.

i think its ZELDA ocarina of time...

I would'nt classify that as an RPG, its an adventure game.

Skies of Arcadia.

...Not on there? Despicable.

(Chrono Trigger out of that selection.)

There where a lot of great games that sliped my mind while I was createing the poll..If I had thought it out a little better,a lot of the suggestions you guys have made would be on there, plus the lunars would be up there too, Its my bad for not thinking the list through well enough

I would creat another but it would seem lackluster now that the poll is already under way . But any game anyone mentions here is open for the spot to win best RPG of all time. And anyone can vote for any game that sliped my mind while createing the poll. And I will tally up the score and anounce a winner when the thread is nearing the end of its life cycle.
So people keep those votes comeing in!!. We all really want our own game to win. and the only way to find out what truely is the best Rpg of all time is to cast a vote so keep em comeing

i wonder of all the people who have posted chrono trigger, how many are going with the whole online 'chrono trigger = holy grail' sentiment, and how many own the game and have actually played all the way through it multiple times.

But ive played through the complete game sevral times, in fact im working on going through it again now for the, umm im pretty sure the tenth time. Its been a really long time since ive been back through it all tho. But I just liked it that much. thats somthing I cant say about all the games ive completed. ive only been through ff 5 once, ff6 once, I never went through the plus game in chrono cross. I have to truely be hooked on a game before I will go through it multiple times. Some games such as ffx 2 I never even finish. just collecting them I suppose

but seriously on the note of ffx 2 ,that game really sucked.
Just cause the graphics where really good. and it was full of chicks doesnt make it a good game, or a final fantasy in my book,
Square has just been sloping the FF name on garbage (yes SLOPING!-not a typo-) cause the name sells.
I Sold my crystal chronicles for gc ten mins after I played it for the first time to a friend. If square doesnt stop FF is going fade away and die

i don't think chrono trigger is the holy grail, i never had a snes, but i did play most of it in a snes emu about 5 years ago, i thought it was very good (i thought i went on for too long ,but i turned out i stop playing just before the end! )

also i have not played any of thoses other rpgs
