This is where my love for RPG games began ❤️

[@IbanBan27]

Me too 👍

[@Drakengard65]

FF6-10 was PEAK FF tbh. Its the main reason why i fell in love with RPGs in general. Freaking master pieces all of them!

[@IbanBan27]

you're right, but FF4 is also good, worth playing

[@humbertoperozo5767]

My first RPG ever was FF8 💓

[@MajorMajesticIce]

@@IbanBan27right 4 is where it really took off!

[@medmuscle]

​@@IbanBan27 That's the one that got me into RPGs, all the way back in December of 1991. FF4 was awesome.

[@thommccarthy1139]

@@IbanBan27 FF4 is bad and the most "press a to win" game in the series. No strategy whatsoever. The story/characters are good but they traded in too much gameplay to service the story.

[@neilharveybranzuela144]

For the first time seeing suikoden 2 on the top!! I agree with this ranking. 💯 So happy to see my top JRPGs on the top 15! 👍

[@Rbay853]

Suikoden 2, Grandia, Wild Arms, Vagrant Story

[@Luki81990]

Someone with good taste. Suikoden 2 ist perfection. And FF9 would also be my second. Third I would go with Star Ocean and then Suikoden 1. A good list!

[@syariefhidayatullah239]

BREATH OF FIRE IV ARE THE BEST PS ONE RPG I'VE EVER PLAY, remind me of my high school. I always play this game after school until night comes. What a good old days

[@IbanBan27]

I first played it when I was in elementary school, BOF 4 was the game that introduced me to the RPG genre. Following Ryu, Nina and Cray's journey to save Elina and help Ryu find his true self. One word AMAZING GAME

[@humbertoperozo5767]

1 to 4 only 5 sucks 🤣

[@morningdewgirl]

Xenogears is seriously needs a remake in todays graphic, and im glad the top 3 are all of my favorites, yeaaah!

[@IbanBan27]

Since 2021, there have been rumors of a remake of the Xenogear game, but until now it has remained as a rumor :(

[@sirgideonofnir87]

x2 i love xenogears!

[@humbertoperozo5767]

the same with the front mission saga an armored core too

[@morningdewgirl]

@@humbertoperozo5767 there are already remake i think, or remastered of Front Missions, but they failed miserably

[@clamjammer4927]

Xenogears was also a failed final fantasy script at first. That would be a perfect game to remake too with the curent ff7 remake combat would be epic

[@austinfisheroutdoors]

Thank you for making this video! It helped me find some games I've been looking for for years!

im proud that i have finished all of the list, except dragon warrior 7 and tactics ogre

[@rezandrean]

guardian crusade is also good, really hope it got the spotlight it deserve

Such nostalgia..! I've been looking for old rpg games (the 2D/2.5D kind) but I cant decide where to start. This video gives me great ideas how to begin my nostalgia trip. I've played all these before and really miss these type of games. Thank you! ❤

[@IbanBan27]

you're welcome, I feel happy and proud if my video can help you find what game you want to play 🙏

[@fahrizal6114]

oh maannn... finally someone with a good taste took suikoden to the top. 🎉🎉🎉

[@slurpking9509]

Awesome list but I would have added vandel hearts

[@pablo-x9y8c]

yea vandal hearts 1 is a mazing

[@ivangasparevic1727]

Nice list. But I think games like Chrono Cross, Chrono Trigger, Vagrant Story, Grandia, Lunar 2 Complete are all top ten games. Your top three on the other hand are very good choices.

[@kakyoinnoriaki6743]

Thousand arm The first Jrpg with dating sim system. The story theme is basic but yhe character interaction is great.

[@jomzrpg6312]

Suikoden 2, FF9, Tales of Eternia, Legend of Mana, Legend of Dragoon and Legend of Legaia and Xenogears were my most fave

[@imrahil2006]

Many beautiful games, but the first one in my opinion was never released to playstation. Shinning Force 3 scenarios: 1,2 and 3 were amazing and still enchants me to this day

[@SunburstGuitarsDan]

There are not on this list but Front Mission 3 and Star Ocean 2 are great PS1 RPGs I have many great memories with many of the games in this video. My love for RPGs begun with this console.

Really good stuff, you know the best ones! And I'm glad I was able to play all of them on my childhood/teenhood :'D

yeah that's because i grew up in the heyday of ps1, so at least i know some interesting ps1 games

[@ducphuongn]

this era of in-game soundtrack was unmatched

[@IbanBan27]

Agreed, I even still have the soundtracks of BoF 4, FF 7/9, and others. Very nice to listen to

[@pablo-x9y8c]

Very good list, i just add Vandal Hearts ps1 the golden Age of games

Thanks bro, vandal hearts is best rpg tactic games

[@treebusettt]

FF7-9 xenogears, legend of legaia, digimon world

[@megabyteDeSu.]

Not all games here are RPG, but are the the best of the best!!!

[@Dribble406]

was really hoping to see Vandal Hearts, but decent list overall, a tactical top 30 would be good! edit: seems you already did, good job

All great games. Old systems have more funny games than new era games

[@IbanBan27]

Agree 💯

Thanks bro 🙏

[@IsraelSilvaXV]

FF 4-10 are peak RPGs, all of them, people dislike 8, im playing it right now is its becoming one of my favorites of the series, great story, characters and the Junction system is good besides its flaws, and it gave us the Triple Triad (card game) probably the best minigame of the franchise.

[@jasonplaysgamesonyt]

...I thought that Final Fantasy VI was only released on the SNES, but after a bit of research, I learned I was wrong. Huh. Neat.

[@IbanBan27]

of course square enix ported the ff6 game to various consoles to make more money

[@anthonyasun]

thank you for putting Suikoden II on top

[@IbanBan27]

You're wolcome

All these games are so much better than any crap today!

[@HettoriHanzo]

[@ninjag859]

Gave most of my youth to all the game and beat almost all them all good some better then others but fun regardless

[@martinmelodist5441]

Legend of dragoon is the best of all !

Correcto señor

[@SeymourVarges]

So many great titles.

[@Noexistente]

Suikoden 2, LoD, FF VI and VII...you don't need more than that to be happy for days

[@fv1718]

Indeed, but it's difficult (ofr me), to left aside, Suiko 1, FF9, Vagrant Story and Chrono Trigger

[@zulzulapit3477]

Chrono Cross should be Top 5

[@Austin_V]

Breath of fire 4 still looks amazing to this day.

[@IbanBan27]

BOF 4 was the gateway that introduced me to RPG games. I really like the 2D character sprites combined with the 3D environment. For me BOF4 is the best in the series

[@Les_Fleurs_duMal]

All of my personal top 10 RPGs for the PS1 are mentioned here, so yeah, good list. Symphony of the Night is no "real" RPG for me. It has only some RPG-Elements. Same goes for Mega Man for me. I would also mention SaGa Frontier 2. Really nice looking graphics like Legend of Mana. Also a game which is forgotten now: Koudelka.

[@DiraSky]

I recommend you to play Parasite eve series,Jade Cocoon, and Elder Gate.

[@Sir4everKcRoyal]

@@DiraSky I was so disappointed Parasite Eve wasn’t on this. That’s such a fantastic game

[@DiraSky]

@@Sir4everKcRoyal agreed,parasite eve is one of kind RPG action game with gameplay such dino crisis and Biohazard series.... With some element of JRPG. What a phenomenal game,but the author of this video havent play it yet

I agree with ff9 completely that game doesn't get the recognition it deserves

[@MorcysZ]

I'll give you a like for the Harvest Moon song at the end

[@IbanBan27]

thanks 😁, that's because every time I hear the Harvest Moon OST it always reminds me of the beautiful memories of my childhood

@IbanBan27 CRAZY RIGHT??? i mentioned the same thing to my cousin back in 2005, back when WAP games were becoming a thing. i said one day games with the same graphics as mgs2 might be played on phones someday, he said it was impossible. lo and behold games look even better now

[@realbismark72]

Chrono trigger is not a PS1 RPG .It was on SNES.If it was a PS1 game ,it deserved 1th place

[@johangp1990]

Dang man....Breath of Fire 4 is such an awesome game, absolutely love those graphics and soundtrack hope it gets some love from Capcom just like Square did for Chrono Cross. Suikoden II best RPG game on PSX, period.

[@lawscx]

BOF IV battle music is outstanding🎉

[@Jongjinlee]

Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure

[@ericfortin5281]

even if some of these shouldn't have been included as they came out on SNES before being remade for PS1, I can clearly see them still in the top 30... in fact only two I have a huge "not sure what it does there" is Mega Man and Castlevania.. except those two.. played and own in physical copies about 75% of the rest of the list (don't even ask, I will get buried with them before selling them.^^).. and even if I would have placed them in slightly different order, I totally agree, Suikoden II is THE RPG that any true PS1 RPG fan should definitely try at least once in his life.
