 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

 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!

 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!

 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.

 | 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.

 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.
