What is the best RPG (console style) of all time i'm a big fan of the Final Fantasy and Breath of Fire Series so personally mine is Final Fantasy VII the graphics maybe outdated but the freedom it gives you is great! What abt Breath of Fire III with its cartoony gaphics and dragon transforming or even Grandia or Star Ocean?

I haven't played many of those games and I wouldn't call them RPG's (well, I guess it's okay, since you added the "console style" at the end ), but the best of those I've played is probably Suikoden. I enjoyed it a lot.

Final Fantasy VII is considered the best RPG because for many video gamers it was the one game that got them into RPGs in the first place. There was nothing really special about Final Fantasy VII aside from the backgrounds and the FMVs.

Final Fantasy VII had a brilliant storyline the materia system is still the best around. Ok! it was alot different had olld style 2d but if the same game was in 2d (which my m8 tryed to do LOL gave up within the fiirst 2 days) it would still be amazing. Crono Cross and BOF are brilliant 2d games

I would have to say probably Final Fantasy 6 was one of the best of all time, it had many great elements to it, lots of characters, a cool story, a bad-a** villian, really great stuff.

I would for sure put FF 7 right afterwards though it's a worthy game.

An insane man working in the shadows of a major corporation/kingdom (usually evil itself), often manipulating that corporation/kingdom, while opposing a group of fighters looking for peace and freedom has not been an uncommon theme in RPGs, even before Final Fantasy VII.

The only thing Final Fantasy VII brought to the RPG genre was FMVs. There was nothing special about the Materia system (aside from how unique it was in itself) because many RPGs that came before Final Fantasy VII had their own special system of advancement anyway. In fact, there was nothing special about Final Fantasy VII.

Whether a game is 2D or 3D shouldn't make any difference. There were many really good 2D games, and very few good 3D games. Games do not have to be in 3D to be good. If a game's graphics are stupendous, you have to stop and wonder how much time they could have devoted to the gameplay instead of making the graphics look almost realistic.
