The Most Underrated PS1 RPGs

When it comes to the best PlayStation 1 RPGs, we’ve all heard Final Fantasy this, Chrono Chross that. Two problems that emerge when a steady stream of blockbusters are released on a system is is that some of the very good RPGs are crowded out and some games are less great in the eyes of players who experienced the best games on the system.

Legend of Dragoon Proper Remake!
Enuf said.

[Jiub]

I would rather have a Legend of Dragoon remake over all the FF7 ones tbh

[bouzebbal]

Some cool games right there.. I will add threads of fate it was an excellent action RPG

[RpgSama]

That's a good list, I would add Koudelka, such a great Horror Jrpg and the precursor to the shadow hearts games

[bouzebbal]

Oh mannnn! We have a true gamer right here!

Brave Fencer Musashi and Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together

[Name Last Name]

I loved BF Musashi!

[Magog]

Vagrant Story. So sad it never got a sequel.

[pietro1212]

Agreed. I'd love another Matsuno directed Square-Enix game especially if it took place in Ivalice.

[BlaqMagiq1]

Threads of Fate. Deserves a remake. That's all I'm gonna say.

[Knightofelemia]

Parasite Eve and my favorite Xenogears

[Jiub]

If they made a Parasite Eve set in NYC that was kinda open world-ish, I'd play every second of it

[Fist4achin]

Much needed. I second it for PE.

[pietro1212]

Outside of Cyberpunk, you have really good taste in games. ;P

[VersusDMC]

They need to stop waisting money on their yearly bombs(quiet man, left alive,balan wonderland) and just remake the first Parasite Eve. Just use the FF7R gameplay(pretty much the next generation PE combat if you think about it) and engine and you're good to go.

Legend of legaia

tales of destiny

[pietro1212]

Xenogears, Parasite Eve, Vagrant Story and Tactics Ogre: Lets Us Cling Together don't get the love they deserve.

[LiViNgLeGaCY]

Shadow Hearts 1&2!!

[Hofstaderman]

I remember Brave Fencer Musashi came with a FF8 demo. Man I miss those Ps1 days. A massive plethora of Rpgs.

[Magog]

They still make a ton of JRPGs unfortunately the mechanics and graphics haven't advanced much since the PS1 days if at all and most of them are for mobile.

[Godmars290]

"all and most of them are for mobile."

With focus to get you to spend money hence why mechanics hasn't advanced.

[Godmars290]

...That need to be re-released...

[lucian229]

no Valkyrie Profile or Xenogears?!

Well least Legaia is on the list

[Good-Smurf]

My pick would be PoPoLoCrois what a charming game.
Technically the game were ported to PSP with English dub and texts but it still a PS1 game.
One of the two JRPG game that I went with my good feelings trying it and was bang on about it.

[jjb1981]

Brave fencer Musashi is a classic! I played that every day after school until I was done.

[quenomamen]

Vandal Hearts 1 & 2
