Your Top 5 SNES RPG's?

So, Here's the deal. I'm going to be stuck for a few hours at this school while my wife is in her class.
I need something to do. So I thought I would enjoy a good RPG so I don't go insane.
I feel like there is something AMAZING out there that I haven't played and I NEED IT.
So if you would please compile a list of your favorite RPG's( or something similar ) for SNES or even just one game it would be very much appreciated. Thanks Guys & Gals...

Just for fun, here is my list.

1- Chrono Trigger
2- Breath of Fire
3- Secret of Mana
4- Secret of Evermore
5- Final Fantasy III

Chrono Trigger all time number one.

Super Mario RPG ( i know i know, but it was fun)

I kinda don't have 3 more for SNES...

I also liked a series of Sega Genesis RPG's way better than any Snes ones, Phantasy star series, far better than the FF line of RPGS.

I agree with you on Chrono Trigger,
I've tried to get into Super Mario RPG, but after about 10 minutes I get bored. Does it get better? lol

I'll check out the Phantasy Star Series, I have a Sega emulator too.

Phantasy star 1 is a sega master system title.

Phantasy star 3 is probably the best, they did a generational thing where your starting character can marry and have a kid who continues the quest, and depending on who you pick to marry your charcater changes.

pretty crazy for the time

as for Mario, yeah I remember it starting slow, but I get real into it.

Ive never really liked the FF series, thougth Chrono Trigger was the best thing to come out of Square.

I am trying to think of other RPG I played during that time (I was spoiled I have always had all the systems available since I was little)

I seem to recall Shinning Force was decent again a genesis game..

Sweet, I'm checking the 3rd one out right now. Looks interesting.

Man, I wasn't into RPGs back then. I was about 10-11.

But my top Playstation RPGs are:

Final Fantasy VII
Final Fantasy Tactics (They need to make a sequel, or prequel, something)
Suikoden I and II

Those are some of my favorites for PS as well....
My computer is a dinosaur so it probably wouldn't be able to handle a PSX emulator.

DUDE! Zelda: A Link To The Past. One of my fav SNES games of all time!

Yeah, I have that one too. It's alright.

Chrono Trigger!!! I'm on new game + lol
Secret of Evermore is the only other I've played that I've stayed interested in long enough to play lol but I don't play many other games. Except I'm stuck

I've played Chrono Trigger so many times it's crazy.
Secret of Evermore I played alot when I was younger, I think I'll play it again today.

Zelda: A Link To The Past

I would of sugested zelda, but I look at that as Action and no so much rpg...

Along the lines of Metroid, you do all the same stuff, advance, gain weapons that unlock areas, but again, Not an rpg per-say, more action game with RPG elements.

Shadowrun was kinda cool as well, just thought of it.

Speaking of Super Nintendo, we had a yard sale this past weekend & I found my old SNES in the garage & hooked it up. It plays perfectly still after all these years. I ran through Super Mario World & beat it yesterday. Good times!

I personally don't consider the Zelda series (or A Link to the Past) as an RPG. That being said ti was totally awesome.

Gosh OP I like those games too, but not in that order. FF3, is my number 1 of all time favorite game.
I have replayed it over 100 times.

Final Fantasy 3 was a super fun game.

If you're a football fan Tecmo Superbowl 2 was awesome. You can play a season. Coach it. Hell you can set the roster and let it play itself.

Do you remember Joe Montana Sports Talk Football for the Genesis? I used to play the hell out of that!

Dude I got that for Xmas from relatives, I hate sports, but I played the crap outta that game it was awesome.

1. Final Fantasy II (or 5 depending on your perspective) - It was my first RPG. I played other games with elements, but it was the first epic I ever played on a game system.
2. Final Fantasy III (or 6, again..depending) - I loved the characters, and it was vastly superior on a lot of levels to II, but ya know, it wasn't my first, so nostalgia kinda bumped it down.
3. Chrono Trigger - Awesome multi-endings kept you coming back. The characters were fun.
4. New Horizons 2 - You could be a pirate, a merchant, an explorer, or a little of any or all of it in this epic tale of the sea that featured six interesting enough characters. Plus, first "open world" world game I ever played. Knowing some geography helped give you a leg up in this adventure.
5. Shadow Run - I enjoyed the genesis cart better, but this version was still a blast of cyberpunk awesomeness.
