it just seems to me that after the pinnacle, it is getting gradually worse with respect to rpgs in general. still alot of solid ones appearing, but I dont get the epic feel I do when playing the (self imagined) classics.

16 bit era was ceetainly great, it just reached a pinnacle for me the next gen. while games like earthbound and ffVI are among my all time favorites, I feel that square (and def working designs) produced an onslaught of quality rpgs the likes of which we wont likely see again.

if you want innovation look at the star ocean 2 battle system/item creation system. it was way ahead of its time and I really havent found a comparable one to this day (including any other star ocean game).

Saturn did have an amazing library of rpgs considering it was a flop...shame as it was a good console.
I have no problem with wrpgs, morrowind is in my top 20 all time for sure. I just dont think any 'generation' can stack up to that of ps1 as far as quality rpgs. -- . |

I like a variety of different kinds of games, but jrpgs from that era are (at least from my perspective) the best. it was an era of many innovations in the genre, but there was alot of consistency as far as dialogue, character and story depth, replay value and overall enjoyability.
what generation would you say trumps psx era with regard to rpgs? -- . |

with classics like ffVII, VIII, tactics, star ocean 2, suikoden II and a lot of others its hard to argue with psx generation rpgs. also, the best localizations (mostly from working designs) including the two Lunar masterpieces and the arc the lad trilogy put it head and shoulders above the competition.
