           Lunar 2 is a real rpg classic, 2D, great storyline, the kind of game  that made me love rpg's! Anyway, i just love the animation, and the dialogue is hilarious! (examples: "yeah baby yeah!" ~ronfar, "Can I use a life line on that? a 50/50?" ~Ruby, "Well I'll be a monkey's uncle-in-law..." ~Ronfar, "Don't worry, my intentions are pure" "Pure lust you mean!" ~Ronfar and Ruby ). Game Arts really did an awesome job at this, and the game is pretty long too, unlike the newer rpg's that came out recently... It's just awesome, You have to play it!

    I would say that i didn't expect much in Final Fantasy IX after playing FFVIII, which i thought was really dissapointing (to me anyway). I was expecting it to be a mediocre game. I was blown away midway the game, the storyline gets really exciting (although gets kinda boring at some points but it really gets better) and the game characters really connect to each other. The graphics, as all of you know, still in lush three-dimensional worlds (but much clearer and denser than the past Final Fantasies). Got to admit that IX is the best, after VI and VII, i recomend IX to everyone.

Breath of Fire IV

    After playing one of the best rpg's ive played a couple of years ago, i was expecting the same for this installment of Breath of Fire. But...it was dissapointing!, the characters doesn't really connect to the storyline, and the storyline DOES get better BUT trust me, you will see it coming (in the dialogue, they say it as a surprise, but there are hints before and it gives you signs that that will happen).Also, the story feels short when you get to the game, it just seems that there's more to be done. I also realized how they made it kinda similar to the last one, fishing, mini games, etc. I hate to say this but, if you're a fan of the series, go ahead and play it, but if you're looking for a good exciting game, IV will not fit it.

Chrono Cross
Developer: Square

    The long awaited sequel to Chrono Trigger. But Chrono Cross is a game that stands on its own, the only thing that lings trigger and cross is Shala and Lavos. Besides that, the game is pretty amazing, the storyline is probably on of the most unique i've ever played, it's kinda fun to go back,back and forth and forth in parallel worlds. The graphics is also amazing, pretty much the same as a FF graphics game on the PS. I highly recomend Cross to everyone.

Legend of Dragoon
Developer: Sony

Game Guide

    Probably one of the best rpg's that came out for the PS. The game is just full of surprises! It also has real time three dimensional graphics, and the characters really relate to the storyline. Turning into a Dragoon in one of the battles really impressed me, and to know that a king is on your party is just unbelievable! (it's kinda rare to have a king traveling around with you!). In my opinion, i think it matched Square's Final Fantasy VII. (commercialy, FFVII still reigns...). Really a unique and great rpg. Everyone should play it!
