Left feeling a bit empty after playing it for the first time a few months ago(why did I wait so long?) I am afraid no JRPG will be able to surpass it. Would love to have a discussion about similar games that reach the same quality level (Note: I have already played Final Fantasy VI ).
Phantasy Star 4 for Genesis. 2 & 3 were also really good but 4 was by far the best. I would not bother with the 1st.
