Only 1 entry per series.
Chrono trigger already took the top place.

I can't believe Shadow Hearts 2 is not in the list !!

It's one of the best RPG's in PS2 era

The only RPG I played in that list is FFX

Apparently Shadow Hearts 2 is a relatively rare PS2 game. At least the original copy is quite rare and not many people actually played it.
May not be the case in Malaysia back in the 2000s … coz of piracy.

Part 2 is better than 1 lah.. Part 1 storyline and voice acting not that good.. Have u played the prequel Koudelka ? That's my favourite PS1 game

Shadow Hearts 3 is rubbish.. I didn't like it

I love Golden Sun.
I played for like few hours but not managed to finish the game.

Aside for that, I also like Final Fantasy III but I played the remake ver on PSP. Also not managed to finish the game due to corrupt savedata.

Old school RPG is still the best. I will take them over whatever new games we have now.

By the time i finish SH1 and 2, sudah tak larat go back to PS game due to graphic. lol. Besides, i am too poor to buy ps1 that time.

In reverse, i think SH1 has better storyline and more meaningful connection to Koudelka. The opening is still very fresh in mind.

SH2 is more like a longer epilogue for Yuri to die, with a weird antagonist and weird side quests. If i didnt play SH1, i will like SH2 more.

Wouldnt compare voice acting cause this stuff is usually progressively better as game advances.

To trigger people more, Parasite Eve 1 is better than Parasite Eve 2.

ff9 not famous compare to ff7 and 8 that time of era

ff10 out sales 7 8 9. GOAT of all time.
*
ff7 original alone sold 15 mil copies
ff10 only 8.6 mil copies

the reason ff10 got 21mil because of the total sales of ffx + ffx HD remaster + ffx2 + ffx2 HD remaster + ffx&x2 ultimate + ffx&x2 HD remaster and so on

as usual ign never do homework, goat muh ass
