It makes me SO happy to see FF6 on the list. While I'm not really surprised, it still makes me happy. The fact there is a four part piece of music where there are callbacks to other pieces is either a stroke of genius, or a way to save some space. Either way I think this is Nobuo Uematsu's best work, BY FAR.

I would replace Breath of Fire 2, Terranigma, Dragon Quest 5, Seiken Densetsu 3 and Mario R.P.G with Dark Half, Shin Megami Tensei, Zelda: A link to the Past, Metal Max Returns and Super Metroid. Dragon Quest is the most boring and creatively bankrupt R.P.G. series except maybe Might and Magic, Terranigma is mediocre, Breath of Fire 2 has an excellent beginning but the rest is unexceptional, Mario R.P.G I just find incredibly boring and repetitive and filled with annoying characters and Seiken Denssetsu is great for the first half but eventually turns into a tedious and frustrating boss rush. I love this system, this is the perfect system for R.P.G.s and it would be my favorite retro system if not for the NES.

I really recommend Metal Max, an excellent series that is overlooked because most of it does not have an official translation. Metal Max Returns is a remake of the first game and one of the best. Metal Max 3 and Returns got fan translations recently, I beat them and loved them.

Just another reminder of the how absolutely amazing the Super NES is. Though there is one thing; I would say Square isn't screwing up Mana right now, I think they're doing pretty good, but in the early-mid 2000s... yeah, that's when they were screwing it up xD Also, Bahamut Lagoon was ported to the DS in Japan, so it got snubbed for localization TWICE. At least we finally got an official localization of Front Mission on the DS though. Other than that... man, I need to get on it and finally play some of these that I missed, ESPECIALLY Lufia and Terranigma

I didn't own an SNES until 2008, long after the system had passed on. In many ways, this was an advantage because A ) the games were cheaper, B ) all of the system's classics were already out, and C ) fan translations existed for games we never got back in the day. SNES is still my favorite Nintendo system.

Partially it’s Nintendo’s fault. They’re insistent to perpetually innovate / re-invent everything, and will go on record to say “what can we do differently that we haven’t already done?” For SMRPG, all I can think about is clay-animation, but then it’d eventually devolve into clay jokes...

"last great mana game as far as I'm concerned" Them fighting words man. Legend of Mana is pure soul the game and Sword of Mana is an example of a good video game remake. EB is my GOAT game to this day, I wish more games did what EB's ending does as well. I do like CT a lot though but EB, Lufia 2, FF5, Terranigma, BoF2, and Mario RPG I just like more for whatever reason. FF5 is my favorite of the classic FFs. People keep thinking the plot is nothing special but a world being divided into 2 in order to seal off a time compressed world destroying black hole of a void is quite unique story wise and the party mesh is the best in the classic FF games. Bartz and friends mesh so well together and a certain event with the old man still stands as one of my favorite bad ass moments in classic FF (really what is up with FF having bad ass old people? FF4 has Tellah, FF5 has Galuf, FF6 has Cyan)

Star Ocean always left out :(... Saddens me, cause Ratix is still one of my fav characters of all time, I don't think I've ever felt connected to a character as I have to Ratix (Maybe Dart from LoD). The story blew my mind, and the combat felt fresh and compelling, no to mention the skills system!!!. Ill always be the biggest Star Ocean fan ever lol Tri-Ace are my heroes.

It's so weird to have grown up on these games and yet there's full grown adults who were born after these games were released. Starting to feel old. Good list. If Secret of Evermore was longer, I'd be complaining that it's not on your list.

The Problem with the Chrono trigger sequels , was that Akira Toriyama had the main Characters Copyrighted and was still in Contract with Enix while Chrono cross was in development in the late 90s early 2000s .

Rudra no Hihou/Treasure of the Rudras is a game I often see on peoples' "Hidden Gems" and "greatest RPGs you've probably never played" lists. Haven't played it yet myself but it's definitely one I want to check out. Since it originally started out as Final Fantasy VII (unless I'm mistaken) and is another fan-translated Square game makes it all the more worth trying out. Have you played it and if so, what did you think?

Great list. I don't think anyone can really argue with it. I finally jailbroke my SNES classic to add the fan translations to is and it works so well. Final Fantasy III (VI) is the reason I bought a SNES and Chrono Trigger was the first game I bought Day 1. =)

Flawless list and I agree that the SNES was the pinnacle of JRPGs. The simplicity and timeless graphics (they mastered pixel art by the time Chrono Trigger came out) makes this system the greatest of all time in my eyes. Terranigma is so good that I can't believe we never got it in the states, but at least we got most of the other ones.

1:29 "This is a strange bird. And some american may have never heard of, because well, we got Secret of Evermore, Europe got this sweet child" i'm European and was in junior high school during the SNES years, and I can tell you we had BOTH Terranigma AND Secret of Evermore (And both the games were sold under blister, including their own 60 pages guides to replace the notice! This also happened as well for other games such as Secret of Mana, Illusion of Gaia (renamed of some reason "Illusion of Time" in Europe), Super Metroid, and Final Fantasy Mystic Quest ( renamed "Mystic Quest Legend" in Europe)). Actually the Action RPGs such as the Enix trilogy, the Seiken Dentestu's that came out in the USA, the Actraiser's games were coming out in Europe and doing well. But for some reason Nintendo Europe was very uncertain with the turn by turn RPGs believing they wouldn't succeed in our lands. Final Fantasy Mystic Quest was actually a first attempt in 1994 on the SNES to release a turn by turn RPG and see how the audience would receive it before releasing others. I can't really understand why they were so frightned because on the other hand was releasing almost all of it's most famous RPGs on the Megadrive (Genesis in USA) such as Shining Force or Fantasy Star and the Sega kids were loving them. So we eventually had a release of Breath of Fire II and Lufia II by the end life of the console (Terranigma was also an endlife release btw) while Nintendo of Europe was realizing that people in Europe were playing turn by turn Rpgs on the new coming Playstation and Sega Saturn... Unfortunatetly we never had games such as FFIV, FFVI, Chrono Trigger, Earthbound, Super Mario RPG... But that's when the import market from the USA came in handy in the local video game shops, with the exclusive AD-29 game adaptator wihc allowed thousands of European kids (including me) back then to play all these games, and many others alongside! (I actually owned all the previous mentionned games way before Terranigma or Lufia II!)
