Best RPG Games

When it comes to video-games, role playing games are arguably on a league of their own. When someone enjoys playing RPG’s, they will usually become adepts of the genre. Since this is such a multi-faceted and diverse genre with many different types of games with all imaginable kinds of game-play, there’s much room for experimentation and personal taste. Regardless, there are many RPGs which convey a substantially unique gaming experience and rapidly become legends. A half dozen such games easily come to mind: Final Fantasy VI (FFIII in the US), Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, Diablo, and Chrono Trigger. While all of these games have great merits and awesome entertainment value – in my opinion Chrono Trigger is quite possibly the single best RPG ever.

There are three things that make an RPG truly memorable. When these aspects effectively work together, a game will easily stir the players’ imaginations and carve a solid place in their gaming hearts. These aspects include the storyline, the characters and the game-play. Chrono Trigger is one of the best RPGs in existence because it excels in all these aspects. The characters are memorable and vivid, the storyline is absolutely epic and engaging, and the gameplay is rather unique and meticulous. But there’s another thing that allows me to confidently refer to Chrono Trigger as the single best RPG ever: its technical limitations. This is a game that delivers so much out from a system that is nowadays absolutely primitive and crude when compared to the latest generations of videogame systems. To think that something like Chrono Trigger would be possible in a system such as the SNES… it’s truly unbelievable. Almost two decades past, this is a game that still stands quite proudly when compared to the latest iterations in the realm of the RPG.

Chrono Trigger is a huge game spanning different worlds and time-lines. Its approach is rather unique an original. Never before or after there was a game that was capable of conveying the same feeling. It’s the kind of game that can be played dozens of times without losing interest. There are several different possible endings and there’s an insane amount of side-quests. The story is told is such a masterful way that you cannot help but to get sucked into the adventures of Chrono and his crew. If you’ve never played Chrono Trigger, just do yourself a favor and try it out. I’m confident it won’t take long before you realize why there are so many people who think this is the best RPG ever.
