As a bit of a spinoff from a question from toei , I'm now curious as to what RPGs/JRPGs/ARPGs/SRPGs most folks around here have finished. I'm probably going to need to do this piecemeal, so I'm going to start with the SNES. - Arcana 8/10 - Chrono Trigger 10/10 - Dragon View 9/10 - Earthbound 8/10 - Final Fantasy IV 8.5/10 - Final Fantasy V 6/10 - Final Fantasy VI 9.5/10 - Dragon Quest V 7/10 - Dragon Quest VI 9.5/10 - Dragon Quest III 9.5/10 - Final Fantasy Mystic Quest 8/10 - Soul Blazer 8/10 - Illusion of Gaia 8/10 - Terranigma 9.5/10 - The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past 9.5/10 - Breath of Fire 8/10 - Breath of Fire II 9/10 - Lufia 7/10 - Lufia II 9.5/10 - Secret of Mana 8/10 - Secret of Evermore 7.5/10 - Seiken Densetsu 3 8.5/10 - Front Mission: Gun Hazard 9.5/10 - Treasure of the Rudras 9/10 - Super Mario RPG 9.5/10 - The Twisted Tales of Spike McFang 7/10 - Alcahest 7.5/10 - Magic Knight Rayearth (I think?) 6.5/10 - Mystic Ark 7/10 - Ys V 7.5/10 - Neugier 6.5/10 I think that's all of them. There are still more on my list that I want to finish, of course. Hmm, adding Genesis could be quick: - Phantasy Star II 7.5/10 - Phantasy Star III 8/10 - Phantasy Star IV 9.5/10 - Beyond Oasis 9/10 - King Colossus 7.5/10 - Light Crusader 7.5/10 - Pier Solar 7.5/10 - Shining Force 8.5/10 - Shining Force II 9/10 - Star Odyssey 4/10 - Wonder Boy in Monster World 7.5/10 - Monster World IV 9/10 - Exile 7/10 And we'll throw in Sega CD... - Lunar: Silver Star 7.5/10 - Lunar: Eternal Blue 9.5/10 - Shining Force CD 8.5/10 And the Duo: - Exile II: Wicked Phenomenon 6.5/10 - Dungeon Explorer II 7/10 - Ys I & II 6/10 - Ys III 6/10 |

Alright, let's start with the SNES, since it is the best RPG console, in my opinion. Let's go with the Genesis/Sega-CD/PCE/PCE-CD next to finish with that generation.
EDIT - Apparently Sarge had the same idea while I was writing my post. I'll come back with them later cause this post is already long enough.
Funny thing is that my SNES list includes every single game on Sarge's.
- 7th Saga
- Alcahest
- Adventures of Hourai High, The*
- Ancient Magic
- Arabian Nights
- Arcana
- Bahamut Lagoon
- Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon: Another Story
- Brain Lord*
- Brandish*
- Brandish 2
- Breath of Fire
- Breath of Fire II!
- Chrono Trigger!
- Crystal Beans from Dungeon Explorers
- Dark Law
- Der Langrisser
- Dragon Quest I & II
- Dragon Quest III
- Dragon Quest V*
- Dragon Quest VI!
- Dragon Squadron Danzarb
- Dragon View
- Dual Orb 2*
- Earthbound!
- Emerald Dragon
- Energy Breaker
- Eternal Filena*
- FEDA*
- Final Fantasy IV*
- Final Fantasy V
- Final Fantasy VI!
- Final Fantasy Mystic Quest*
- Front Mission: Gun Hazard
- Glory of Heracles III!
- Gunman's Proof
- Gulliver Boy
- Holy Umbrella*

- Lennus II
- LiveALive*
- Lufia*
- Lufia II!
- Magic Knight Rayearth
- Magna Braban*
- Metal Max Returns*
- Monstania*
- Mysterious Dungeons: Taloon's Great Adventure
- Mysterious Dungeons 2: Shiren the Wanderer*
- Mystic Ark*
- Neugier
- Paladin's Quest*
- Ranma 1/2
- Robotrek
- Romancing SaGa III
- Secret of Mana
- Secret of Evermore
- Seiken Densetsu 3
- Secret of the Stars
- Shadowrun
- Shin Megami Tensei
- Shin Megami Tensei 2
- Shodai Nekketsu Kouha Kunio-kun
- Silva Saga 2
- Slayers
- Star Ocean*
- Super Ninja Boy
- Super Shell Monsters Story
- Soul Blazer!
- Super Mario RPG!
- Tales of Phantasia
- Tenchi Muyou*
- Terranigma
- Treasure of the Rudras!
- Treasure Hunter G
- Twisted Tales of Spike McFang, The
- Wozz*
- Xak
- Ys IV: Mask of the Sun*
- Ys V
Some of the best that Sarge hasn't finished: Holy Umbrella (great platformer / RPG hybrid), Hourai High (fun little wacky comedic RPG), Wozz (solid traditional RPG), Dual Orb 2 (solid traditional RPG), Metal Max Returns (great post-apocalyptic non-linear RPG), Eternal Filena (amazing pacing, this one makes me think of Final Fantasy V if it had a good story, for some reason), Magna Braban (understated humor, fun and well-paced), Paladin's Quest (great world and setting especially, unique look).
*I'd forgotten about this, but it'd be a decent entry for SRPG month as it's very, very short. Monstania is even shorter, I think - under 10 hours - but its gameplay is more clever, so I'd def recommend checking it out.

You listed a few that I forgot, but whoa! Yeah, I'll defer to your expertise for this era.
Anyway, missed Cadash (both versions) and Holy Umbrella. And Gunman's Proof. I also beat Tales of Phantasia, but on GBA.

I think we can safely say that at one time toei was as fervent about beating JRPGs as @tsumuri is about beating FPS games. - Sometime soon I'll chime in with my definitive list of console RPGs beaten. My lists will be weak compared to what's come so far, but I'm interested in doing this as a reflective mental exercise. |
