Collecting all type of eternal dragons, and maxed out storm dragon, 1 by 1 from junk shop. loved this one more than monster rancher. I wish they make a new one these days. with more dragons. and have one that look like saurian without changing it to humanoid version.

      Its amazing so far, though the tank controls and D-Pad movement are giving me serious carpal tunnel xD

      Rhapsody! Great game, even if most of the dungeons (except the tower with the warps) can be solved by the old advice of "put one hand on the left or the right wall and follow it to the end" it is still great and is loosely tied into all the other NIS games via the Rosenqueen Shop and even having your rival in this game be part of the Rosenqueen family. IIRC, Rosenqueen was a real-world shop, but I could be mistaken.

    Okay, once again, you're speaking my language... figuratively.
    Threads of Fate - I think I gave this a rental back in the day, or maybe just played a demo. It didn't really speak to me, but I'm glad it exists.
    ----
    Koudelka - I know I've given this shout-outs commenting before. I own it, and I need to play more of it, but finding time with all the other things going on is sometimes hard. I might even need to do emulation since memory cards for the PS1 are hard to come by nowadays even if I have the discs.
    ----
    Guardian's Crusade - Its art style is very off-putting to me, and probably why I passed on it back then.
    ----
    Azure Dreams - I honestly don't remember it, either I never played it or rented it and didn't get far enough for it to be memorable to me. Looking at your footage, I feel it's most likely the former. Concept is interesting, and worth a try at least.
    ----
    Saiyuki - Journey West - Well, I know the basics of the story since it's the basis for several TV shows (Dragonball, Saiyuki, Monkey and many, many more), so it intrigues me to see a new take on it.
    ----
    Dragonseeds - I remember this one, I think I either rented it or played a demo. I preferred the Monster Rancher (a.k.a. Monster Farm) games, but it was fun to try it out at least.
    ----
    Thousand Arms - I remember seeing this game on shelves, but I didn't try it. Based on your footage, that is a mistake I hope to correct. It's going on my "to play" list.
    ----
    The Granstream Saga - I don't think I played it, but yeah, I don't know anyone who hasn't seen that shower clip you closed the segment out with.
    ----
    Legend of Legaia - I think I played the demo for this way too much because I could never find the game for purchase back when it was released.
    ----
    The Legend of Dragoon - This is one that I passed over because of how many other good RPGs I was playing when this came out. It's one of my biggest regrets that I never played. It's been on my "To Play" list for decades.

Threads of Fate I only have Gameboy Color cart of, although I heard big differences between both (besides graphics obviously). Threads of Fate/Arc Lad 2 I'm also in middle of...I have to stop this playing 4 games concurrently thing!! It blows my mind how many good RPGs PS1 had that I had no clue back in the day though, great vids like this bring it to everyones attention too!

    I played most of these, and I think Azure Dreams was the one I spent the most time on. Used to play every Sunday evening as a post weekend wind down, and did it for over a year. No clue how many hours I put in, but I think I tried a run with just about every monster available. Also one game I've not seen mentioned for a long time is Vandal Hearts, it did reasonably well back in the day and had a few ports and a sequel or two, but I've not heard or seen anything about it for ages

    I bought Threads of Fate out of whims together with Chrono Cross. There's no expectation aside that it was made Square, but they both turned to be my favourite game even until today. The story also went deeper than I could ever thought. The playtime is just good and hunting the abilities for Mint and Rue - by visiting all ex-bosses locations - are so much fun. I really miss that game. Maybe instead of going to PS4/5, Nintendo can take it over for Switch.

    when searching for games like one of the ps 1 Digimon World games, I came across Jade Cocoon. never heard of it before then, maybe it's obscure enough? summoning in it takes forever but you can capture enemies too.

    Gianstream Saga and Threads of Fate are.awesome, very underrated actually. Dragoon... Well, it's a class of its own, one of the greatest RPGs despise its haters.
    Jade Cocoon and Berond the Beyond deserve a mention too.

    I’ve only played Tomba 2 all the way through, but only very little of Tomba and Brave Fencer Musashi, but those three games are pretty good.

At a time that FF7 was renown for its "Summon Animations" Legaia was a strong contender to beat it. I would put it at the top of the list of the best RPGs of all time.
