Vagrant Story it's maybe the most advance game in it's generation, surprisingly still an underrated one

[heartofShinRa]

The PS1 was truly a golden age in gaming for RPGs. As an honorable mention, have you played the Action RPG dungeon crawler side mode from Ehrgeiz? Still to this day don't know why it was included on that disc, but it was addictive and deeper than you'd expect.

Vagrant Story is the best game in the PS1. Even with 1 disc it is jam-packed with content that could even rival a 4 disc jrpg. I wish, there is a remake or a sequel before i disintegrate in this lifetime.

Great list and yea, Musashi deserves a remake with tight camera controls! What a gem that would be. Chocobo dungeon 2 is such a deep game, from those Shiren origins, and I really love how it uses those systems with Final Fantasy mobs, its great. Star Ocean 2 though, is my goat for action RPG on PS1, such a fantastic game.

Alundra's difficulty was due to Working Design's tendency of making games they localized harder.

There's a hack that reverts the difficulty back to what it was in the original Japanese version.

I always felt like Parasite Eve peaked with the first game. I love resident evil but PE 2 was way to much like it and should have kept it’s RPG routes.

[GameCubeGalaxy]

Oh man, I’ve been really meaning to play through both Mega Man Legends 2 and Parasite Eve 2. I played and beat both of their predecessors, and loved them. Dragon Valor looks really cool! The #1 choice is a perfect choice too. Awesome video as always man! Easily one of the best channels on YouTube!

[AnimeDynasty]

I love the MegaMan Legends Series it's just Awesome! I only hope they release MegaMan Legends 3 to give the series a good ending. Fingers crossed 🤞

As a guy who is trying to get into RPG, Brave Fencer Musashi looks like a very fun game, i might give it a try in the future.

[DubExp]

Alundra is such a amazing game. The story, the characters and the music are just too good. I no longer have my physical version. But the game is challenging and I did quit the game for a bit. Memoires are unlocked and now I wanna play again

[CrumpetsNBiscuits]

ty for this list. Vagrant story is my favorite PS1 rpg.

[fedupN]

Man, most of these passed me by. Once you mentioned Alundra, some old memory sparked my mind. Of them all, that one is one I meant to get around too, because, although I found the design style a little goofy, I did enjoy that it seemed like the next Secret of Mana or Illusion of Gaia.
Yeah, Vagrant Story never did it for me, but my buddy loved it.
Course, I loathed FF8, so there ya go :D

[kronnusalpha]

Oh man... Parasite Eve I and II are just awesome... I would love to see a remaster of the series...
Another great video, I really like your content... Thank you...

[whitewolf]

Have both the first Parasite Eve and the second one on the Vita, the first one is better in the story department, character development, and some of the science behind the game. Heck, even the game play is good because it is unique.

[Outrack]

3:30 That's not true. Parasite Eve was received well both critically and commercially, and sold just under two million units while the sequel barely broke half of that and was heavily criticized at the time for the gameplay changes. The reason the sequel shifted it's design is because it was originally conceived as a spin-off title, and had the head writer/co-director from the original Resident Evil working on it (as well as several other former Capcom employees).

It wasn't a bad game, though I'll forever be salty that the first one didn't get a PAL release...

[shhlimy]

That intro theme is too good! Awesome video aswell 🔥

[Orpheusftw]

I only bought Kings Field recently, and the series instantly became one of my favorite of all time.

[ajmohawk]

Glad to see you included Parasite Eve II on this list. Great video! Thank you.
I sure hope Parasite Eve 1 & 2 get a remake someday

[evilblader]

From SNES I can tell you... Star ocean never disappointed me. I'm glad Alundra is in the list, we need a new Alundra game (I mean a good one)

[brooklynboiprod]

Great choices, especially the last one. If I may add one of my favorite series on the PS1 is the Colony War series. I remember I would spend many nights with the lights out just playing the games just to make it more atmospheric
