Does anyone know of any good snes RPGs besides chrono trigger and zelda? thanks in advance :)

[PsiRedEye22]

Secret of Mana, Final Fantasy 3, Super Mario RPG, start with those.

[Lachrymose]

The Breath of Fire series is decent.

[Boxcar_Racer649]

[SkimI3oarder]

Secret of mana, Seiken Denetsu 3 (sp?), Super Mario RPG (my fav along with Chrono trigger), Terrignama, and Bahumuts (forgot the rest of the name)

Secret of Mana for sure. (All time fave game.)

7th Saga for a more subdued gameplay.

Lufia series is pretty good.

there are tons of good RPG for the SNES that never made it outside of Japan. if you use an SNES emulator, you can actually dl those games and patch it with these files:http://www.rpgclassics.com/trans/snestrans.shtml for English translation. those are all RPGs that most people never knew existed.

Note: that site contains English translation patch files, not actual roms which you will also need.

for the actual roms, try this site: http://romhustler.net/roms/snes

you will also need to dl the patching tool here: http://www.rpgclassics.com/trans/howtopatch.shtml

good Japanese SNES RPG i've tried are: Albert Odysssey, Fire Emblem, Dragon Quest Series, Final Fantasy Series that never made it outside of Japan, and many more.

for SNES-earthbound

[Frosty]

Final Fantasy III/VI (Probably the best RPG on SNES.)

Chrono Trigger (I know you already said it, but tied with FF3/6 for best RPG.)

Super Mario RPG (As mentioned, excellent game.)

Earthbound (Another excellent one.)

Illusion of Gaia

Secret of Mana

Lufia 1/2

[PsiRedEye22]

Earthbound is way too hit or miss. I love the universe, but the game is so one dimensional and easy, obviously made for a much much younger audience.

[refoops]

What would you guys reccoment to start off someone who never got into the whole Zelda, Secret of mana, Original Final Fantasy Scene. Or hasn't played any of them?

[Gentle Giant]

Seiken Densetsu 3
Secret of Mana
Earthbound
Illusion of Gaia
Super Mario RPG
Final Fantasy III/IV/Mystic Quest

rofl, the FF series isn't any harder.

All of the Enix/Quintet games are good: Soul Blazer, Terranigma, Illusion of Gaia, Robotrek, Actraiser, E.V.O: The Search for Eden. Those are mostly action rpgs. Uncharted Waters: New Horizons is a niche game but its a ton of fun if it fits you. Secret of Mana/of Evermore/SD3. Shadowrun is alright, but the Genesis version was better imo. Treasure Hunter G is pretty cool. The original Star Ocean and Ogre Battle games.

And PALADIN'S QUEST. Get it now.

Crusader of Centy, Shadowrun and Shining Force games are the only good ones I can think of for Genesis.

Are you asking which you should get into first, or are you looking for alternatives? For the former, A Link to the Past, Secret of Mana and Final Fantasy 4 are probably the best starting places for most people.

[handsock]

Harvest Moon for the SNES. May not be the kind of RPG you're thinking of though.
