1. the final battle in illusion of gaia for the snes. when Will has to fight all the bosses from earlier in the game all over agian, one right after the other without any breaks, and then the final showdown with Gaia. great rpg moment!!
2. exploring the lost forest in the legend of zelda, ocarina in time.....i love the music, it's so catchy.
3. can't think of a third right now

1- The floating island in the sky in Chrono Trigger. Purdy colors!
2- The best ending in Chrono Trigger, where you get to talk to the developers.
3- The whole game. Best game ever.

I love in Chrono Trigger where you're in the future, the world's destroyed... snowy wasteland, cool freaky music... the race with Johnny, the sewers, that gigantic guard robot... that game was sent to us by God. It will never be topped.

FF8 had bad gameplay, but a great story and AWESOME graphics and sound. The gameplay sucked ass. Enemies gained levels WITH you? And that dumb magic system...
But the story and everything else redeemed it, still a great game.

Ending 1- 'Dream Team'
You get the 'Dream Team' ending one of two ways. First, you could step into the right telepod and examine the sparkling object BEFORE you get transported to 600 AD for the first time. Like, before you even talk to Lucca, step into the pod and examine the dot. This will transport you to Lavos' shell, where you'll have to defeat all three forms. The second way is to beat Lavos when you meet him at the Ocean Palace.
The 'Dream Team' ending is kind of strange. You wake up after beating Lavos at the End of Time. There are people scattered everywhere and you can talk to all of them. Actually, they are like bodies for the programmers. They all have a message that the programmers wanted you to hear. Some even have the names for you to see. After you talk to every single person, the Old Man will let you into the room where Spekkio was. Now, it's occupied by the Dream Team, Nobuo Uematsu, Yasunori Mitsuda, Yoshitaka Amano, and Mr. Sakaguchi himself. They tell you some wierd stuff and then play the credits for you super fast. The End.

let's get some more memories!
FF4: when most of your buddies sacrificed themselves to save you, parlom and parrom turned themselves into stone, Cid exploding himself and i think somthing happened to that shaolin monk...anyways...it was ulta bad ass when they all came back in the end to help one last time!
FF4: when you're in mysidya and they all hate you, and turn you into things like pigs and toads.
FF7: finding othopedic underware in tifa's dream
FF7: when sephiroth and cloud have that last dramatic battle one-on-one and you bust out the omni slah!
FF6: KEFKA!!!! KEFKA!!! KEFKA!!!!!!! need i say more?!
heh, keep 'em coming guys!

I thought nothing could top the FF6: Half hour emotional ending...
But then Crono Trigger came out with 11 different endings.
They are both masterpieces.

agreed. i STILL need to beat the original FF6, i've only beaten the revised one for the ps1. and since the ending was in cg, i'm pretty sure they were diffrent.
anyways...
i loved chrono cross, but they ruined that game with their suikoden ripp off charecter engine! Did you know that guile was suposed to be magus?! but since they had SO many pointless charecters, they felt that they couldn't develop his story well enough, thus no magus!

I used to play this Mud called Dark Castle, and well killing other players that played it was great fun... with one of the classes Monk, you could rip out the heart of the other player, and so I'd run around ripping out peoples heart and then I'd give it to them... or sometimes eat it... it was great fun!!! :)

I guess Mario Brothers 3 isn't an RPG, but I had a great video game experience with this game... I was at a friends house one time, and there were maybe 20 or more people there watching these two people playing in the eighth world for the first time... it was great!!

The storm-scene intro to The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. Just that sound of rain when you're inside your house and then stepping outside - and then entering the castle to hear the muffled sound of rain again. Not very impressive by today's standards, but back when it was released it really struck me and I get the same feeling everytime I play it.

In Everquest, finally getting my rogue to level 46 (minimum level to go to the planes) and getting my first piece of Ravenscale armor, and my first 10 damage piercer.
But then I had to stop playing because that fucking game took waaaaaaay too much of my time.

word up to tha mothership! i just found out that i have the FULL 4 DISC FFX OSV! (japanese!!!!) in high quality VBR! once soulseek is back up (make sure that i know) and you can dl it from me! It's fuckign awesome! great tracks, stupendous!
Sometimes, I enjoy the sndtracks to a good rpg better than the game itself (even though I really like FFX) talk about nostalgia...it's like playing the game, but not haveing to wait all 80+hrs! and you get to really submerse yourself and foscus on one single aspect.
goddamn life can be great. the highlight of my day!

oh thank you, whoever started this thread. i could talk about rpgs for ages. here are some of my favorite rpgs, and the parts i remeber most:
ff7:Aeris is praying, and down from the sky comes sephiroth, with sword in hands. and then....its too sad to talk about. cloud is too late.
ff8:Floating away, lost in space...lifeless. squall goes out on a limb, with only his space suit and jetpack to save rinoa.
ff9:zidane discovers his past on the moon.
ff10:Yuna and Tidus kiss in the twighlight
Legend of Dragoon:Dart descovers who his father is, and Rose gets a suprise of her own.
Chrono Trigger:Chrono is killed, the prophet reveals his true identity and purpose, and the kingdom of zeal completely dissapears, in one night.
Chrono Cross:The truth is revealed in Chronopolis.

Seriously, i think Chrono Trigger had a huge impact on who i am today, and all of the things i like today, i know it sounds weird, but its true. The deep story was so amazing, and then with chrono cross. it makes me giddy almost thinking about those memories, back when i was like 12, and i was sitting in my room, soaking it all up. aw...those were the days. anyway, i think ophecks mentioned the future, the way it was cold and snowy, and the music. yes, that was sooo cool. and the music for those two games is really stunning, considering that they were just video games. i read something about a new Chrono game! can't wait! hope we get to see more of magus...hehehe.

*busts out RPG Icon*
Hmmm, hard to remember all the best moments from all the different RPG's I've played.
Exploring the Great forest in Secret of Mana where each section of the forest had different seasons would probaly be my favorite.
FF8 had a great story? Haha, I don't think having your whole party growing up at the same orphanage as children only to meet each other once again without remembering one another is a 'good' story. A little to lame there.
Ah, I must say beating Revelations Persona after having it for 4 years was a very nice RPG moment.

Another one that comes to mind is Saga Frontier 2 and how Gustave and his relative Gustaf own about every damn thing in the game.
And ontop of the fact that Masashi Hamauzu is one awesome composer. Even the songs that he composed in FFX are too good.
btw, this site here is filled with interviews/media and the like of videogame composers.
