this is a list of everything I know about psone rpgs(without counting all the final fantasys from one to nine and tactics)

legend of dragoon

chrono trigers(remake/port,originaly a snes game)

chrono cross

vagrant story

grandia

persona 2

xenogears

wild arms 1,2

alundra(only the first one)

suikoden 1,2

breath of fire 3

star ocean the second story

OTHER RPGS WORTH TO MENTION:

azure dreams-a game that is a mix of pokemon and dungeon crawler that isn't a game for everyone and is never really great but somehow interesting enough to try and play for hours and hours

legend of legaia: an average rpg that somehow manages to be entertaining

and tactical games with a little bit of rpg elements are:

vandal hearts(only the first one)

front mission 3

Definitely Persona 2. It's such an awesome experience, even today.

For me...

Suikoden 1 and 2- they are very different from normal RPGS, in every game theres an optional 108 characters to recruit and lots of different endings and side quests etc.. not that great graphics though..

Now for PS2.. I could mention loads.. lol, but yeah.. suikoden for the PS1, classic.

How could you guys not mention Valkyrie Profile! One of the most incredible games of all time. Though I havent played them, I'm surprised no one mentioned Lunar Silver Start Story or Lunar Eternal Blue, I thought they were good games.

not really a RPG but more like a zelda game.... a zelda game with an actual epic story one of the best stories ever written for a videogame.

Legacy of Kain Blood omen

the only legacy of kain game that i ever liked. and it was absolutely epic. some of the best writing and voice acting ive seen.

It's really too bad that it seems half of all good RPGs are rendered unplayable by truly horrific dubbing. I just tried playing Lunar 2 Eternal Blue and was afflicted with literal, physical pain.

That with Working Designs going out of business because they put too much effort into localization... kinda ironic...

Star Ocean 2

Tales of Destiny

Beyond the Beyond

Vagrant Story

Tactics Ogre

Legend of Legaia

Guardian's Crusade

Parasite Eve I & II

Final Fantasy Tactics

Lunar I & II

Suikoden I & II

Valkyrie Profile

PS1 was my favorite system because it had so many RPG's and I discovered so many of my favorite games because I'd simply just take it off the shelf and buy it w/o ever knowing anything about it.

I didn't really like it but Unlimited Saga. From Square Soft. Theres another one in the series but I can't remember it's name. It was a better game though.

Fixed.

Oh, and I loved Xenogears, greatest story in any jrpg. Although I hated the last boss (usual Squaresoft cheap-endboss).

Well, I'd say Final Fantasy VI (trumps all the others, maybe even IX) and Vagrant Story.

I'd recommend Alundra, Vandal Hearts, and most definitely Grandia. I wish Grandia's sequels were as good as the original.
