    The fact that games like Final Fantasy Tactics, Legend of Legaia, Mega Man X4, Grand Theft Auto 2, and many others didn’t make the list is a testament to how awesome the PS1 was.

      I remember having the first PlayStation in the Christmas of 94 at the time the only game we had was Ridge Racer. It wasn't officially released in the US until a year later and none of my friends ever heard of it yet. Of course no one believed me and my brother that we had this system that no one else had that took CDs and had "realistic" graphics at our dad's house that lived in a different County that we visited on weekends 😂. His friend he got it from was the type that could get anything on the black market back in the 90's. So explaining how he got it sounded even less believable lol

    Parasite Eve would make my list. It doesn’t hold up in terms of graphics but the mechanics, story, music were all masterfully executed. The fmv were one of the best back in the days.
    My top pick would be Vagrant Story. The art style transcends time. The gameplay and story are also excellent. I never liked tactical games but this one is made different.

      You need to check out Xenogears. It is often considered by quite a few people to be the greatest game of all time. (the development team went on to make Xenosaga for Namco, and then split off on their own and made Xenoblade Chronicles for the switch)
      It was unfortunetely cannibalized by FF8's development, so like FF7 there was cut content that for decades people have wanted to see an update or remastery for it.
      Unfortunetely because it came out just before FF8 it's hype cycle was drowned by the release of squares larger RPG.

    Vagrant Story is my number one favorite game of all time. If Dark Souls had turn-based combat, it would just be a modern Vagrant Story clone. The writing, the interconnected map layout, the methodical combat, the difficulty, the dungeon-crawl feel, the knowledge-based system, the intro cutscene to each big bad, the tension, and a lot more similarities.
    That said, Dark Souls Remastered is also one of my favorite games of all time. Man i wish SE just gives us Vagrant Story HD. I still do play Vagrant Story to completion at least once every 1 to 2 years, it isnt that long a game, but it's always a fantastic time everytime i boot it in 1080p resolution with widescreen hacks on my phone with duckstation emulator.

FF9 is more of call-back to 2D-titles in tone and benefited from technical experience two previous entries had given. There even was pondering about it's name.

      I agree with parasite eve, definitely not 8 though lol. It's weird, i got 8 right when it came out, all hyped up over it. And my first experience was awed. Until I realized the weapon crafting, junction system, and enemies scaling level along with you. Those 3 things caused me to not enjoy 8 as much as the others. Literally puts it on my list ranking at the very bottom ONLY FF game below it for me is 2. Sad be8i loved the story, exploration, secrets, characters, and summons. Had the game changed those issues to what they usually did, 8 would be right next to 7 for me. Sadly we got what we got 😢

    I had a demo disc with Metal Gear Solid that had the entire first level. I played thru it soooo many times until I actually was able to buy the game

    this channel seems like some writers who haven't played the games looking up basic info on the games and writing the scripts

      Yep. They can’t be bothered to make
      their own game footage.

    great list 👍👍 I would say Abe's Exoddus is a way better game than Abe's Oddyssey though, absolute must play

    I can't believe that Parasite Eve and Final Fantasy Tactics are not in the list.
