What was your favorite platform for RPG games?
I think it has a lot to do with which console you started with when you played your first RPG. My personal favorite is the PS1. FFVII, FFVIII, FFIX, Xenogears, Legend of Dragoon, Legend of Legaia, Star Ocean 2, Final Fantasy Tactics, Parasite Eve, Vagarant Story, etc.
However, I've been gaining an appreciation for the old SNES RPGs. I didn't get into these until later on (because I started with the ps1 rpgs) but they have their own charm. I'm really grateful for the virtual console for promising to make some of these more available, as well as to the DS and GBA remakes for doing the same.
ive always loved the dragon warrior series. probably the first rpg i got into, it will always have a place in my heart. they need to bring that game back.
Gameboy Advance.
I meant that was the best system. I don't know what you're talking about.
You should. It's a pretty **** good game.
I'm not really sure what my main system for RPGs is, partially because I've only recently begun to play them all the way through. Right now I have more RPGs for the PS2 than any other system, and I plan on collecting a huge number more this summer, so I'm sure that will soon be my main RPG machine.
When I think of "RPG'S" in general, the first system I think of is the PS2. Even though I didn't play too many on there, it really is probably going to be the last system for the RPG to thrive, or the classic RPG's that we all know and love. Though not too far behind that is the SNES. Earthbound, Super Mario RPG, FFIV; **** yeah.
Come to think of it, when it comes to quantity, I'll take the SNES over the GBA. Mainly because at least of the games I love GBA came from there first, and Secret of Mana was never remade. :( But for quality, nothing beats Golden Sun. Ever.
SNES.
WHY CAN'T MORE RPGS HAVE DUNGEONS LIKE LUFIA 2'S?!
When I think of the RPG golden age, I think of late SNES/early PS1: FF6, FF4, Chrono Trigger, Earthbound, Secret of Mana, Secret of Evermore, Legend of Mana, Legend of Gaia, Suikoden I & II, Breath of Fire III, all good.
You forgot Terranigma.
I was only listing some of the games that I played during the golden age. I would have also mentioned Bahamut Lagoon, but, as you know, both games weren't available :(. Yeah, could have imported, but imports didn't get popular until the PS1 got popular, atleast, that's how it was in my neck of the woods.
NES. Willow, Dragon Warrior series, and Destiny of am Empire made my Golden Age.
Willow is a pretty awesome movie. I love the scene where that hag turns them all into swine.
I liked it more as a child. As I grew older I realized how much better Ridley's Legend is.
Never seen it. But I'm willing to bet ten thousand gil that it doesn't hold a candle to Willow.
It most seriously does. More darker and the music is stirring. Willow's music was fun though. Legend is the closest film we have to the Zelda games. You got fairies and stuff. Seriously, watch it. It's quite possibly my favorite fantasy film. I can't think of a better.
I'm pretty sure it was the SNES, followed closely by the Playstation.
I was a SNES baby, and had my Final Fantasy games to play for hours on end. And I still do.
Well, not so much Final Fantasy anymore. I've been through 4 & 6 waaaay too many times.

SNES - however, some of my favorites of all time are on Sega systems, as well (Shining Force series, Phantasy Star IV, Grandia II, Skies of Arcadia)
