Video & PC Game Discussion

And then this for SNES: my favorite in the trilogy PS: this pic rocks makes me want to play Zelda Those games are awesome. DKC2 is my favorite DKC too. Zelda : a Link to the Past pwns though. My personal favorites on SNES are Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy 6. Oh and Secret of Mana.

Wow, I forgot all about that photo!

Chrono Trigger is great, but I've always had a soft spot for the two Lufia games, as well as FFVI, of course.  Secret of Mana 2 is also excellent and really pushed the SNES, back in the day.

Lately I've been playing Fire Emblem 6, 7, and 8, but mostly just the latter two.  

I'm considering pulling out Ocarina of Time later today.

So I gave up.

I was able to beat that game pretty easily when I was 10 or 11....

Didn't care for Final Fantasy XII.  The story wasn't very interesting and the characters had no personality or development whatsoever.  The world was cool, I even liked the battle system, shame the story/characters were mediocre, which is the essence of a good RPG.

X was great, however, despite what many others might think.  VI and VII are still my favorites, and I'll be buying IV soon (never even played that one).

I agree with everything you said. The only thing that I've never forgiven myself for is never playing early FF games....I bought VII a while ago, cause I heard it was the best FF, but I was so young then and had no patience, and sold it just because the stupid graphics and all the reading and wacky controls...if only I was as wise then...

But I heard that there will be a VII remake for PS3. I think it will be exactly the same, just crazy graphics, new controls, and speech. (that may not be true, though). If that is the case, then I'm definitely going to save up for 2 years and buy a Ps3.

EDIT: And by the way, I'm looking for a new RPG to play for the last few weeks of summer. I want one with a really really interesting and layered plot and good characters. Any suggestions? I don't care about controls, graphics, or how long it is, I just want a good story.

Every six months or so I pull out Ocarina and beat it again.  It never gets old!

I had it ever since it came out, got stuck on the water temple and didn't beat it until last year.
