Anime-inspired presentation, martial-art style turn-based combat, your own mech to run amok, deep and philosophical storyline, memorable characters, everything about this legendary game is fantastic. Except one thing, the game was never properly finished. Total meltdown on the second disk was almost infuriating. One JRPG I desperately want as a future remake with proper production.

The best JRPG not made by Squresoft and Enix. Swashbuckling space pirate adventure with your own airship, huge 3D overworld, ship to ship combat, huge character galore, this updated edition of Dreamcast is definitely a winner.

Sequel to one of the most revered JRPG 'Chrono Trigger' is equally outstanding entry that stands tall with FF series in terms of production value and exciting combat system. Epic storyline that spans 4 PS1 discs.

'Tales of Eternia' is released in the U.S. as 'Tales of Destiny 2'. Although little primitive when compared to the latter entries, real-time combat in random encounters is really distinctive.

Remake of Enix's classic JRPG is the first edition available in the U.S.

The most mature and artistically impressive entry in this long running franchise is even more popular than FF series in Japan. Heavily influenced by 'Wizardry' series as opposed to 'Ultima' series influenced FF. One of two most important JRPG along with FF series.

Unique JRPG infused with survival horror and sphere-based pseudo-real time combat.

The definitive version to end all previous FFII iterations. Heavily influenced by 'Ultima' series as opposed to 'Wizardry' series influenced Dragon Quest series. One of two most important JRPG along with Dragon Quest series.

One of my two all time favorite FF entry along with FFV is now better than ever with this awesome remake. The fourth one is where FF really became something special with great characters, melrodramatic but touching story, active battle system, haunting and memorable score by the maestro Nobuo Uematsu, underground world and moon besides the typical gameworld.

Two best 16 bits JRPG in one package.

Fan favorite and the best-selling entry in the series. This really put JRPG on the map and brought video game RPG into the mainstream genre, and solidified Sony Playstation as the most important game console of all time that made video game as legitimate mainstream entertainment.

Homage to pre-32 bit classic FF series. Little underappriciated after mega commercial success of FFVII and FFVIII.

The first-ever direct sequel in the franchise is surprisingly fun game. Don't let the trio of divas fool you. This is definitely worthy of FF Roman numeral.

The first FF entry in the current console generation.
