Is Chrono Trigger the best RPG?

Talking about a 17 year old RPG is also quite tempting, especially in such an ancient thread. Posting along with those elders.. *sigh*

Anyhow - I can never forgive myself for letting Marle get her legs crushed, because I played it on a Dreamcast and could get the machine code right with that dingy pad.
@Khris: what's your Chrono Tile Engine doing btw?

It's on hold

I still have to code the splicing of the sprites along tile borders and at this point I'm not sure if it's worth it. Recreating the tile engine only makes sense from a nostalgic point of view, and there's also Golden Sun now with it's really cool 2.5D tile engine.

Isn't almost everything here about nostalgia, that's no reason for putting it on hold

But of course creating an engine inside an engine without an active project around might be an awkward task.
But anyhow, it was really impressive and parts of it also made it into my engine (Promotion tile-code parsing).

RPG wise I believe that FF 7,9+10 are awesome ( Plot lines that really involve your emotions an make you want to play them again and again. Lands of Lore with mr Stewart was also awesome.
Did anyone ever play NOX ?
I haven't played Chrono Trigger but I hear its good..

@Calin: Ahh... it is revealed. All the hints (posts about lua plugins, pathfinding and whether to create a tile-engine) unite in this screeny

About damn time someone does something like this.

Also Mother 3> Earthbound> Chrono Trigger

Planescape Torment is a game I'm in the process of, and then I'll probably move on to Secret of Evermore, Terranigma, and FF6.

I never thought that Chrono trigger was anything special..I think it's quite overrated. I love RPG's but IMO there are better games...like Dragon quest 8 - Journey of the cursed king (Had lots of fun with that) Final fantasy VII (How original of me hehe) and FF XII. But my best RPG experience so far is without doubt The Elder Scrolls IV
