Valkyrie Profile
Vagrant Story
Grandia
Breath of Fire III
Breath of Fire IV
Suikoden II
Lunar: SSSC


Which one would you suggest the most and why? Also, are there any other big PS1 that I'm forgetting? (except FF7-8-9, Chrono Cross and Xenogears)

Vagrant Story is the only one of those I've played.

But I'd rather play Brave Fencer Musashi or Parasite Eve.

Lunar

But it should really be Lunar 2 Eternal Blue instead

Valkyrie Profile is the best. Suikoden II, BoF3, and Grandia are also good choices.

Valkyrie Profile or Vagrant Story

If I had to suggest another, I'd say SaGa Frontier 2.

Star Ocean 2: The Second Story and The Legend of Dragoon are pretty big. Big enough, I mean.

I'd go with Vagrant Story, Valkyrie Profile or Breath of Fire III. If pressed, Vagrant Story.

Haven't played Suikoden II, for the record.

I actually only played it for the first time ever last night. I was pretty tipsy, granted, but oh so very impressed.

Cool 2D implementation. Intriguing battle system. The comfort and feel of Star Ocean 2's musical oomph and vivid interface. Fun item creation. Unique plot. Female protagonist that isn't a complete whore.

I was enamored.

one of these 2. I can't say I was blown away by them, but they were both entertaining and would recommend playing both of them.

Suikoden II is the best, but you should really play Suikoden I also, if you haven't yet.

If not that, then Lunar.

Lunar is easily the most correct answer from that list.

And then play Lunar Eternal Blue after.
