2 Games only! Boo-hoo brother! LOL...I gotta agree, given the importance of Chrono Trigger to the RPG history, and the awesomeness of Chrono Cross, I shouldnīt have left the Chrono games out...my bad then!

EDIT: Interesting...BoF is a pretty popular series and got no votes...

Popular doesn't equal best.

Yes, look at dark cloud 2. That's a great game that was ruined because dark cloud 1 sucked and nobody bothered to even look a #2... except for me.

Look at dragon Warriors, that's very popular (as it just came out with it's 8th game) and very few people seem to like that because of it's cheap battle systems.

My fav is Chrono Trigger (chrono series) by far. Best music, best plot, best overall characters, and damn cool techs.

i agree totally

but i still say the best is a toss up between final fantasy and zelda

How about the Mario RPG games? Those were all pretty good, and (especially M&L:SS) extremely funny.

 I was going to point that out. But I didn't really like M&L:SS, I hate RPGs where your character doesn't say a damn thing, ot even options.

But does mean theyīre good, simply because otherwise it wouldnīt be bought/played/known by so many people...

I havenīt played Mario RPGs...theyīre said to be awesomE!

My next target is Magna Carta...and I'll finish it quick, you'll see!

Shadow Hearts is missing too...Itīs not that notorious yet, but I can firmly affirm that the already released titles rule...

EDIT: Thereīs really something about Suikoden that I love...as the titles are released, and a new hero gathers 108 stars under his command, the games start interacting and showing relationship with the others. Nowadays one os my favourite sites is www.suikosource.com, in which they have images and the complete story of all the characters, and the relations they have with other characters...As the "web" is formed, everything starts making sense, and the whole series makes you think that there is life behind all that, that the story really moved on for those characters. Those who fought together in a war, those who knew each other because of the war and, after it, sticked with their partners and so on...

No game has that feeling...when they end, the characters fade away. Suikoden makes me keep playing because I know I might see those guys again (like when Ted appeared in S4!).

Grand Theft Auto. 'Nuff said. Very popular, way too overrated, sucks.

[Almeidaboo]

Iīll highlight a "term" you forgot to put in your statement:

 

Grand Theft Auto. 'Nuff said. Very popular, way too overrated, sucks IMO.

I mean, if it is so popular, if it sold so much and the crits, even being dumb as doors, praised it, something about it is good.

Zelda got my vote. Although I like the FF series, I think X-2 killed it (I can't say 8 because I liked it and it was my first FF game) I also would have voted for xenosaga, but it gets annoying sitting though the 30 minute cutscenes.

First of all, I mean no flame to you or anyone that agrees with what you said, but itīs really, really dumb to say that FF was killed because 1 game sucked (and it didnīt imo...). Weīre around Final Fantasy 12, c'mon! You have 11 against 1 and the whole series is thrown in the garbage? First you play 'em all, then you say something like this.

Same would be if I stated that Breath of Fire sucks cuase of Dragon Quarters (saved by the battle system...and thatīs it.)

Correction, 12 against one. FFX-2 was game 12, FFXII is game 13.

[Cerebus]

More than 12. There's all the Legend, Adventure, Tactic, Mystic Quest and maybe other I forgot...

[WingZero]

and anoter series you forgot was Shadow Hearts   I guess thats wy they called it the unknown RPG

[MrMister]

Okay, popular things don't have to be good. Sometimes they don't have a reason for being popular. Like Ashlee Simpson.. or.. Jessica Simpson.

I think Dark Cloud 2 ruled, and it was long, but it got unbelievable repetetive. After half way through the game it got a LITTLE more interesting, but not by much. The bosses got less creative through out, too.

The newest Dragon Quest had ugly *** characters. You can tell from one glance they were done by that cock jockey Akira Toriyama.
