Gosh I miss those days of my life, playin' SNES RPG games, but I simply got my memories back by downloading a SNES Emulator and the best SNES RPG games are:
Chrono Trigger
The Legend of Zelda: A Link To The Past
Final Fantasy VI (Final Fantasy III in the USA)
Final Fantasy IV
Illusion of Gaia
Secret of Mana
These are the memorable SNES RPG games I've ever played
My List(my favs, the best overall I think is Final Fantasy VI, then the rest)
1. Super Mario RPG
2. Chrono Trigger
3. Final Fantasy VI (Final Fantasy III in the USA)
4. The Legend of Zelda: A Link To The Past
5. Secret of Mana
If you haven't played Super Mario RPG, then you really should. Although, I have been a Mario nut since the Super Mario Bros. 3 days, but Mario RPG is still good.
Also, note that the best games listed are either Square or Nintendo, in my opinion the best game companies out there.
You guys are lucky, we Australians never got Super Mario RPG, but I've played it on a emulator, pretty damn good!

Those are my fave in order. the top 4 were hard to rank because their the best games in video game history IMO.
The top 4 would still be top 4 if i would have made an 'all time favorite' list. Zelda Ocarina of Time would be #5, Metroid Prime 1 and 2 would be #6 and #7 Super Metroid would be #8 and Super Mario RPG would be #9
I suggest you try out Paper Mario on the N64 as well if you liked Super Mario RPG.
shareIts a close call between Chrono Trigger and FFVII, but I enjoy Chrono Trigger more.
1. Chrono Trigger
2. Final Fantasy VII
3. Earthbound
4. Xenogears
5. Secret of Mana (Multiplayer is awesome!)
6. Final Fantasy VI
Wow, this is a great post. Im glad that people recognize that SNES made the greatest RPGs, because I have always thought so too. Anyways, Final Fantasy III is my favorite game of all time - such an amazing storyline, so many different complicated characters, tons of sidequests, fun gameplay, and probably the greatest video game soundtrack of all time. Chrono Trigger is my second favorite SNES game. It is also an amazing game, for many of the same reasons - also a very clever take on time travel. I also like Super Mario RPG -interesting to see a whole different type of Mario game. The Secret of Mana is another great game too.
Zelda's not RPG, it's adventure people! :) If you really wanted to, I suppose you could classify it as Adventure/RPG, but....
Anywho, here's my top 5...
1. Chrono Trigger
2. Final Fantasy II
3. Breath of Fire
4. Earthbound
5. Harvest Moon
LOL.. Most of the games you've chosed here isn't even RPG-games.
-------------
I like goats.
There isn't any real order in this list.
1.Chrono Trigger
2.Final fantasy 6(3)
3.Final Fantasy 4(2)
4.Seiken Densetsu 3 (secret of mana 2)
5.Star Ocean
dark raven - awesome choice, and don't listen to that other guy that said they're not RPGs (glad you chose Earthbound)
mine are:
Chronotrigger, Earthbound, Secret of Mana, Terranigma, Breath of Fire 2, Lufia2, Soulblazer, and Illusion of Time(Gaia to the Americans)
Notice that Earthbound, Secret of Mana, and another (terranigma?) are also the second in a series?
2 is a magic number!! (agree?)
yes it's very good, I also love golden sun 1 and 2

These are my favorites:
1. Earthbound- This is my 14th year playing video games and this game is the most fun I have had playing video games ever.
2. Chrono Trigger- All hail the sword-wielding frog. A classic rpg from the kings of rpgs.
3. Super Mario RPG- A Mario game codeveloped by Nintendo and Square. A greater combination there never were.
4. Final Fantasy VI- Tied with FFX and just above FFVII for my favorite FF game. Great characters, fantastic story, this is why you play rpgs.
5. Star Ocean- Get an emulator and play this game. One of the final rpgs for super famicon, this game's graphic style is superb. Innovative battle system. Quite a bit of fun. If you have played the equals on playstation and ps2 you may want to check this out.
6. Tales of Phantasia- Same graphic style as star ocean. First in the tales seris, really cool hybrid battle system that plays like a simplified fighter. Grab the rom and have fun.
7. Secret of Mana- fun, action based rpg with a good story and bright, colorful graphics.
8. Link to the past- The king of the action based rpg. All hail nintendo and the power of the triforce. I have probably beaten this game more than any other game I have ever played. I return to it and play it every couple of months. It never gets old.
If these were actually in order, it would be earthbound,link to the past, ffVI, and supermariorpg, and then the rest in no particular. Tell me if you have comments or disputes with my list.

Chrono Trigger (2nd best rpg to FF7)
Zelda a link to the Past
Super Mario RPG
*never played any of the final fantasys for snes
Why do people always think Zelda is a RPG? It is not! There's no turn based battles, no HPs, MPs, and experience points (except in Adventure of Link).
shareSNES was Probbally The best system I ever Played. I am starting to hate thwese Three D systems cause every time i play a VG I get a head AchI Like Playstation.
HelloweeN - Pinhead VS Michael - the ultimate fight

1. Chrono Trigger (along with FFVII the two best games ever)
2. Final Fantasy VI
3. Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
4. Secret of Mana
5. Super Mario RPG
6. Final Fantasy IV
7. Breath of Fire
For other games (in no particular order):

Actraiser
Donkey Kong Country
F-Zero
I Played Final Fantasy VII On MY PC The other night useing a Playstatation emulator it was I have to say more fun cause i could take it on the bus on a lap top.
HelloweeN - Pinhead VS Michael - the ultimate fight
Zelda: LttP is considered an RPG, not all RPG's are set up the same way. But thats not why I am posting.
- Chrono Trigger!
- Final Fantasy IV (II)
- Lufia 2 (My game was buggy, and if you even put it in wrong the save games would up and dissappear)
- The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (My first ever Zelda game)
- Super Mario RPG (I still think you should Mallow in Super Smash Bros., I know it will never happen, but here's hoping(
- and it doesn't count, but...... Zombies at my Neighbors! (I highly recommend it)
"Cindy's Pants are Going Down!!" - Jimmy Neutron
I am so glad my friend gave me a SNES Emulator... I never had a SNES in my youth. I had a NES, and a Sega Genesis...
Anyways:
1) Chrono Trigger
2) Zelda: Link to the Past
3) Super Mario RPG
4) Final Fantasy Mystic Quest
Haven't played any others but I'll take your suggestions...
"Walking this road without you to remake forgotten promises and meet you at road's end" KH:COM
1) Seiken Densetsu 3
2) Chrono Trigger/Final Fantasy 3 - Played them relatively at the same time I can't decide which is better
3) Zelda: A Link to the Past - The Zelda games are RPGs...Where're you getting this "not" buisness from?
4) Super Mario RPG.
5) Secret of Mana
6) Earthbound - Reminds me of Wes Anderson
7)EVO - Totally forgot about that one...
8)FFV - Fun 40 hour run ^.^
Really any RPG on the SNES but Secret of Evermore could be put here. Sorry to those that like it up there >.<
Please notify me of any typos up there and of course..."Go Don't Doing It Again!"share
Earthbound is the one with Ness, from Super Smash Bros
My other favorite SNES RPG games are
FFV - Loads and loads of fun
Seiken Densetsu
Lufia & The Fortress of Doom
Lufia II: Rise of the Sinistral (that is a true classic)
Long live the SNES. By the way, who misses Link's sword zap in previous Zelda games.
RPGs don't have to revolve around turn based battles, HPs, MPs, or experience points. It's about role playing and that is a big part of any Zelda game.
shareList (In No Particular Order)
