Chrono Trigger was on the SNES, wasn't it?

Yeah Chrono Trigger was on SNES, to my knowledge (Which may not be much). I'd suggest Rudra's Treasure, if you haven't played it yet, because it's pretty good, well, to my standards it is.

Rudra's Treasure is about 4 characters (Which you can name, and I'm pretty sure they have differen't stories) which, basically, RPG around. Basically killing enemies, et cetera, but with a pretty good plot, but has a pinch of cliche in there. Haven't played much of it, so I can't really tell anyone much of it.

EDIT: Not sure about if it's more than 4 characters or less, can't recall.

Rudra's Treasure\Treasure Of The Rudras is about four seperate people and their parties who basically do a lot of shit (not spoiling anything here) over a period of 15 days. You can choose any character you want, but you have to finish all 4 of them in the end. Funny thing is, if you're playing one of the characters, all the actions that would happen in the stories of the other characters will happen automatically. For example, Riza's story has you purifying the polluted air in the world around day 2\3. So when you hit day 2\3 in the other stories, the air gets purified. It's pretty well-done.

And the magic system has you write something (anything will do) and the game will convert it into a spell. There are some keyphrases which will give your spell certain effects, but you can just ignore that. It's pretty awesome.

EDIT: And as said before, you should try Soul Blazer, Terranigma and Lufia II.

Star Ocean if you can find the english and graphics patches. Great game. Has a few bugs in some versions and it's hard to find a complete english patch that is proper. Still a great game, though.

Dragon Quest/Warrior IV, V, VI. Love this series. They're like Final Fantasy with better storylines... in some ways.

Breath of Fire. First one is pretty good but the second is the best imo. It was also the first RPG I ever played so I may be biased. It has cat/frog/tree/monkey people (and more)! What's not to love?

Terranigma. Great game. Lots of fun to play... not the typical RPG romp. One character party but allt he characters are really well developed. Best played with a controller, though.

Lufia was a little lacklustre but Lufia II is ace and has a 100 floor random dugeon that you'll lose hours in. One of my all time faves. Also has killer puzzles, great characters, 2 New Game pluses and PETS!

Earthbound. Only just got it myself after hearing angryblackman and others rant about it. It's been pretty good so far. A bit wacky though.

Magic Knight Rayearth. One of the first 'girly' RPGs, I think. Pretty good. A typical 'save the princess' storyline that turns out non-typical.

Secret of the Stars. Pretty old but still fun to play. Surprisingly addictive once you get in to it. General save the world plot, but enjoyable none the less.

Secret of Evermore. Great game! Lots of fun trying to find those alchemy ingredients and spells. Time/Parallel universe travel with your dog.

Secret of Mana. Another great game! Lots of fun saving the world. And flying luck dragons to boot. ^.^ The battles are fun and the general feel of the game... great!

Illusion of Gaia/Time. A pretty good game. Some interesting bosses. Reminded me of good ol' Link and Zelda a tad.

Chrono Trigger. Best game eva! Or something like that. If you haven't played you need pity. Frogs and time travel. ^.^

Dual Orb. Hard to find an english patch for it but well worth the looking for. Another save the world plot but still nice. Eye candy, too.

7th Saga. It's okay. The encounter system is one of my favourites. Not exactly pretty to look at though, but good gameplay.

Zelda, anyone? A classic. Link battles it out to defeat teh ebil!


All worth getting. Yep.

Please play Terranigma. I had a great time with it.
