ff7 hands down

Reply

Hmm. Most memorable doesn't really go to FF7 methinks. A memorable game is something that defined RPG games in it's own way. The sort of game no one forgets. I guess FF7 does fall in that catagory in a way.

Let's see. Final Fantasy 1 was of course a rocker. The world loved it, though it was still quite primetive. The Dragon Warrior series started near to it, and was also known for it's interesting ideas, away from the Ultima-type games. Of course, then, things like Crono Trigger made a debut on the SNES (or was it the NES?) and made a huge impact. The most memorable I can directly think of now, would be the latter, Crono Trigger.

It had a genuinly interesting battle system, with Dual Techs and direct in-map figthing. The story was brilliant (coming from Square, it's obvious).
Near to it would be the FF3, 5 etc Job-type systems. That was something that only came in in DW, and the Golden Sun games quite a while later.
Of course, Legend of Zelda, an action RPG was a huge hit even with the first installment, and made the genre for Action RPG's a reality.

So really, there's quite a few games. I don't think only one could count as memorable.

Well, I have to mention the Final fantasy Saga (in all versions). They have been the leaders in RPG games. However, there are many cool and memorable RPG games. My favorites are:

• Chrono Trigger
• Super Mario RPG
• Secret of Mana
• Tales of Phantasia
• Golden Sun
• Zelda (Saga)

There are others great RPG games, but they don't memorables.

Ok mine was FF11 ....

Because the game had several factors which I think I did not witness in most of the other RPG games I have played..Some of these factors are :-

~An amazing storyline
~A very original and advanced weapons system
~A unique way of showing how a little imagination can accomplish great things
~And the Characters in the game

I must say FF11 is a must for any RPG lover who has not yet played this game...I recommend you to play this game to truly fell the taste of an real good RPG game

Ultima Underworld and Dungeons and Dragons. Have to say those games were classics back in the day for the old 386 and 486 Personal Computers (PC).

for me ff7 is the most memorable, i remember it like it was yesterday. the atari died and so comes the nes, the nes was a good console but most of their games are casual games and rpg's in nes are not that good it was notable nonetheless. snes came and longer games are made and the consoles are not just their to be played a few minutes and turned off but to be played for hours.
chrono trigger, and such made their impact to console enthusiast but the snes is notable as a upgraded casual game console.

then the 90's came and the cd revolution came, and a not yet known ps console was considered a cd player that you can play games. then too many people noticed the complexity of the games that the ps comes up.

then BOOM! too much advertisement and hype has been read about ff7. the first real rpg that you can get out of the main story line a bit.

and for me a game is memorable if:
sold more than 5 million copies sold. (ff7 9.5m as of 2004 i think this increased because of the pc version and others)
a game so unique that it created its own myth . ( aeris can be ressurected) thousands of pages made because of this one
a game so good that they explain and theorize the story line of a game. ( an example, cait sith is merely a robot??)
a game so good that its sequels are bought even if they never heard of the plot/storyline. (i can attest to this one i'm one of them, didnlt know ff8 is somewhat of a love story but enjoyed it all the same)
a game so good that they created films, books, prequel games, and even hentai( sad...) about a game. (ff7 crisis core, advent children, and others.)
a game so unique that even today 10 years after its release, remade for todays grapics. ( ff7 xp version)
a game so unique that even after 10 years almost all playes who played this game knows the main characters of this game.
a game so good made the revolution about toys that are based on console games. ( who wouldn't like a chocobo plush toy )



there are also many unique things that started in ff7 too many to post

wow i'm a ff7 geek

- Chrono Trigger
- Secret of Mana
- Illusion of Gaia
- Earthbound
- Final Fantasy 3
- Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
- Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

It's funny that every single one of these games were on a Nintendo platform. You know a game is that good when you wouldn't mind playing it again... from beginning to end.

Speaking of which, I might have to dig up my SNES emulator to fire up some memories...

I would not agree with the legend of zelda counting as an rpg, even though in magazines and everywhere it was described as an rpg. I would have to say that it is more like an action / adventure semi platform game. A memorable rpg game for me would be chrono trigger, and after that it would have to be ff7. I never played the first final fantasy games before version 6 though... Earthbound was really fun too.
