Post some good oldschool rpgs! (action and turnbased) 2 per post!

to start us off, my two favorite games ever, on ps1

Lunar Story
and
Legend of Lagaia
Zim: You can't have an invasion without me! I was in Operation Impending Doom 1! Don't you remember?
Tallest Purple: Oh yes. We remember...
[flashback]
Zim: [in giant robot destroying a city] AH HA HA HA HA HA HA!
Pilot: But sir, we're still on our own planet!
Zim: Silence! Twist those knobs! Twist those knobs! You! Pull some levers! Pull some levers!
[end of flashback]
Zim: I put the fires out.
Tallest Red: You made them worse!
Zim: Worse... or better?

I'd make one small change to that, and thats cram in Final Fantasy III and VII in there some where, III was cool with the whole game over world gets destroyed start over apocolypse bit, and the 7th OMg Sephiroth! nuf said. The rest are my old fav's as well.

You are in a green field facing south, to the east is a paved road, to the west is a large rock, to the north is a city gate.

What do you want to do?

Soleira plays some Breath of Fire game on PS1...

I never got into RPGs, WoW is the first one I've stuck with for more than about an hour or two.

Final Fantasy III was the best game EVAR! No questions asked. Other favorites are the breath of fire series, secret of mana, secret of evermore, chronotrigger. I really want to go home and play my snes now...

no, although it is good it does not count as old school just like FFX, XI, XII, or maybe even FFVIII or IX don't count. In fact if it's in more then 64 bits, it may not count LOL
