<div style='font: 11pt "comic sans MS"; text-align: left; '>I have only 4 I could play without getting bored.
#4 Wild ARMs - my first classic RPG. I saw why it's such a popular genre.
#3 Vandal Hearts(simple yet...I don't know, I liked it)
#3 FF9 - cliched? Hell yes but it was fun to play. Likeable char's.
#1 FFT - gameplay was challenging, graphics were cool for its time, memorable levels.
There's been a lot of RPGs I've missed out on.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt Verdana, Tahoma; text-align: left; padding: 0% 10% 0% 10%; '>Hmmm... probably FF4, FF6, CT, FFT, and Link to the Past. With the exception of Tactics (due to the fact I played it at a time when free time was scarce, and has been ever since), I've played them all many times.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>Definetly agree with you on all games EXCEPT Vandal Hearts, but maybe I should play that game sometime. For me, my favorite RPG currently is Skies of Arcadia,</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>Link to the past, if you liked that game, Try the GBC Zelda's they remind me very much of that one. Also, Try Illusions of Gaia and Terranigma, just my simple recomendations (Personally, I like Terranigma the best out of all the games mentioned)</div>
Well

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>My favorite RPG isn't necessarily something I play a lot of times. Things I can play a lot of times whether getting bored are:
1. Grandia 2 - Yeah, there are problems with this game like the main plot sucks and the main characters suck, but the battle system is great, and I like the supporting cast (in fact they're the only ones I like, aside from Mareg). I play this quite frequently though I only completed the game once. Trying to beat the Eye of Valmar allowing only two Heals is *tough*.
2. Chrono Trigger - Haven't played this in a while, since I only have it on the emulator, but it's still a balst.
3. Terranigma - It's one of those rare games that actually have a good plot. Hard to find those these days. The gameplay is pretty nice too, and the music is just incredible.
4. FFT - This is just such a nice game...</div>

<div style='font: 12pt Arial; text-align: left; '>People prolly should not have included ARPG's in their lists, as there's too many of those that are replayable (Castlevania, any of the Zelda games, and even obscure stuff like Neutopia and Soul Blazer).</div>

<div style='font: 12pt Arial; text-align: left; '>Oh, and umm.. I guess my answer (for turnbased ones) is Chrono Trigger (although it does employ a more action style fighting system).</div>

<div style='font: 12pt Arial; text-align: left; '>Basically all of the GB and GBC games are enhanced (full pallette and such) for Super Gameboy, even nowadays. The only forced portables now are the GBA ones (although that'll change with GameCube).</div>

<div style='font: 12pt Arial; text-align: left; '>Well, if so, then definitely include those ones I listed. But still, SRPG is closer to traditional style (by far) than ARPG's.</div>
