    I just finished FF 2 (5) which was a superb game but the graphics were pretty bad.Good artndirection certainly, but less than proficient graphics.

    I have just started FF 3 (6) and the graphics on a technical side were a huge improvement.

    So what snes RPG do you feel had the best graphics?

    I thought Terranigma was pretty impressive from a technical standpoint,especially with the overworld making good use of mode7.

    Probably Star Ocean, but I don't think there's a legal way to play it in English.

    Tales of Phantasia, Star Ocean, and Bahumut Lagoon all pushed the Super NES hard in graphics/sound.

    Drakkhen. ha, just kidding. really liked Chrono Trigger's/Secret of Mana's graphics. I think Earthbound had a really neat, unique look to it at the time.

    Super Mario RPG for the innovative (for the time) graphics that were used.

    As for "traditional" 2D graphics, that title goes to Chrono Trigger. It used all kinds of cool effects and tricks that weren't seen in RPGs on the SNES before it.

    Best RPG graphics on the SNES... hmm that's pretty tough to say.

    Art work in many RPG's is better to me then the new everything has to be as close to "photorealism" as possible.

    I think the following RPG's had a great art style

    Breath of Fire I and especially II for brilliant character models, animation, underwater scenery, backgrounds. monster builds, and awesome bosses. Where as the series in whole may not have the best graphics bit by bit it definately holds the most charm and in my opinion non forgetable sprites and scenery.

    Honorable mentions go to

    Lufia I and II= These games have an art style kind of like BoF only not quite as good. However, some could argue that the HUGE boss battles were captured perfectly!

    Final Fantasy II and III= beautiful backgrounds

    Super Mario RPG= lovable Mario characters with great graphics... however the downfall in the graphics department was most of the backgrounds although some were absolutely brilliant. My overall honors could not go to such a short game however.

    SM RPG quite easily, imo.

    It looked like a N64 game before the N64 came out.

    Oddly, the game was never officially released in Europe (probably due to Nintendo's policy to translate games in multiple languages and it came out rather late too).
