Suikoden 1 and 2 (2 is maybe the best RPG on PS1) Grandia Lunar SSS and EB (I prefer EB) FF9

Just to offer some counter advice TC... I could not stand Dragon Warrior 7, Xenogears, Vandal hearts 2, FF8, and Hoshigami. I also think FF7 did a lot for the genre but is not that great of a game now

Top five games of all times (regardless of systems) that i have played, and continue to replay due to this day because they are masterpieces.

  • Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay
  • Deus Ex
  • Devil May Cry 3: Special Edition
  • Xenogears
  • Gothic 2: Gold Edition.

I highlighted Xenogears because that is a PS1 game, and without question, the best RPG on consoles ever made. That's the game you, without one shred of a doubt, need to buy and play, right at this very moment.

This should be really easy for you! The PSX has an amazing RPG line-up.

I back all of the previous suggestions, and I would like to add Legend of Legaia!

Lunar 2 Eternal Blue is my favorite RPG, though I recommend playing the two Lunar games in order. Grandia, Suikoden, Breath of Fire III-IV, Tales of Eternia, and the Arc the Lad series are also very good.

my favourite is vagrant story. it's very much a dungeon crawl, similar to diabolo mixed with final fantasy tactics. it's pretty cheap on PSN.

Lunar Silver Star Story is one of the best on the PS1.

Thousand Arms is good.

Once you get past the first part, Grandia is pretty good.

FF Tactics.

Xenogears.

Chrono Cross is also one of the best.

FF7, 8, and 9.

A game i really enjoyed went under the radar and was very underated imo called Koudelka. it was made by some ex-Squaresoft staff and had stunning CG for its time and a very good story. the only thing that lets it down is the playing time. definately worth checking out though
