PS1 and Super Nintendo RPG suggestions (please read!! :-) )

[TMA_1]

okay, well my dad and mom love to play RPG's together when they have time. They have an old Play Station and Super Nintendo out in the living room, and whenever they have the free time after work and if they dont read or anything they will sometimes play RPG's together. My parents dont have any new ones and I am wondering if you guys could help in making any suggestions.

They are looking for your standard type of RPG. Nothing fancy, just a typical decent RPG from the ps1 and the super nintendo. Do you guys have any suggestions? if so please post it would be a big help. :) 

And if you cannot make any suggestions, are there any sites that give decent reviews or RPG's? NOthing like GameSpot, or sites like that. They are a pain to navigate, and they dont really show a list of classic RPG's that are definite good buy's.

Can you guys suggest any good RPGs for the two systems mentioned? and if not could you direct me to a site that has a list of reviews so that we could find some games to buy?

thanks for the help:)

Final Fantasy I, II, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII and IX for the PS1.  Final Fantasy III for the SNES (which is actually VI).  I'm not too sure about the SNES (other than Zelda III: A Link to the Past) but the following are EXCELLENT and for the PS1.

Grandia

Breath of Fire III and IV

The Adventures of Alundra & Alundra 2

Jade Cocoon

Wild ARMS

Vagrant Story

That should keep you busy for a while.  Lots of them can be found on eBay, possibly some on Amazon, but more likely all of them can be found at specialist game sites.  Here are a few for you as well.

Gamestation

Gameplay

Hope this helps. :)

ChronoTrigger for the SNES was one of the first RPGs I ever really got into.  I highly recommend it.

[Andrew]

Yep, chronotrigger was one of the best RPGs for SNES, and one of the highest quality games for SNES.

Get it for sure.

For SNES...

Romancing Saga(2 and 3, I haven't played 1, so I'm not sure)

Live A Live

Chrono Trigger

Not sure do you count SRPG and ARPG also, if so,

Sword of Mana 2, 3

Tactic Ogre

Ogre Battle

Tales of Phantasia

PS1...not too sure, but add Valkyrie Profile to Dragoon Knight's list.

If you're not too sure, try to look for games made by Enix, Atlus, and Square. ~90% of good RPGS are made by them.

Final Fantasy, I played FFVIII, only PSX game which forced me to hurt my computer with an emulator  ;D

[ordos45]

I'm a tad late, but I must not pass up an option to promote Final Fantasy VII.  VII.  VII.  VII...

[Kiyouta]

There is Chrono Cross for PS1 too.

I'm a tad late, but I must not pass up an option to promote Final Fantasy VII. VII. VII. VII...

Hell yeah! ;D

Super Nintendo? Dragon Warrior all the way. It was called Dragon quest in some countries outside of the U.S.

[Vanguard3000]

I thought Dragon Warrior games were NES-only?  The first NES Dragon Warrior was pretty good, so if it's anything like that, then it should be pretty good.

[Barbarossa]

Nah, It was on NES, Super NES and PS1. Then Squaresoft (The maker of Final Fantasy) bought out Enix (Maker of Dragon Warrior) which is amusing because the two games had been the biggest of rivals.
