What would you consider to be the 15 *essential* SNES JRPG's?

Metal Max 2
Metal Max Returns
Herakles no Eikou 4
Shin Momotarou Densetsu

>>11883212 (OP)
Final Fantasy
Final Fantasy II
FInal Fantasy III
Final Fantasy IV
Final Fantasy V
Final Fantasy VI
Final Fantasy VII
Final Fantasy VIII
Final Fantasy IX
Final Fantasy X
Final Fantasy XI
Final Fantasy XII
Final Fantasy XIV
Final Fantasy XV
Final Fantasy XVI
Not in any particular order.

>>11883212 (OP)
Final Fantasy IV
Final Fantasy V
Final Fantasy VI
Chrono Trigger
Super Mario RPG
Earthbound
Romancing SaGa 2
Romancing SaGa 3
Lufia II
Breath of Fire 2
Live A Live
Dragon Quest V
Dragon Quest VI
Shin Megami Tensei
Shin Megami Tensei 2

That's what I'd say for pure, non-action, RPGs. If you want action RPGs you can add stuff like Secret of Mana/Evermore, Terranigma, Illusion of Gaia, etc.

>No DQIII
What did anon mean by this?

>>11883317
I was going with games that were originally made for SNES. Otherwise yeah, Dragon Quest III would be a good addition.

And obviously the generic mages do exist in that world; you can have conversations with plenty of them. Same with the chocobo. It says kweh or wark or whatever. It smells like a chocobo. It's right there, in the game. I don't know why it's on the box, but it's in the game.

Romancing SaGa 2 & 3

>>11883212 (OP)
Bahamut Lagoon
Breath of Fire

Terranigma

>>11884675
you should add lufia 2 to your list. and if you havent played it, play it. dont even worry about the first one (lufia 2 is a prequel anyway).

>>11884675
Tactics Ogre is the only tactics game that I like

>>11883212 (OP)
>*essential* SNES JRPG's?
Chrono Trigger

Maybe FF6 for the artistic value. Graphics, music.

In no particular order:

FF6
CT
EB
DQ5
Romancing Saga 2
Romancing Saga 3
Star Ocean
Tales of Phantasia
SMT1
SMT2
Live-a-live
Ogre Battle
Metal Max 2

Idea no Hi

>>11883212 (OP)
FF 4-6
Tactics Ogre
Ogre Battle
Secret of Mana + sequel
Mario RPG
Chrono Trigger
Illusion of Gaia + Terranigma [sp?] + whatever the other one was called
Earthbound
Live A Live


That's 14. I seriously don't know what to pick for the last spot. I suppose Fire Emblem 4 might work.
