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 ).
Xenogears for PS1
Very different from all the later ‘Xeno-’ titles.
Same composer as CT.
Not as polished a game design, but overall outstanding and interesting in story, mechanics, and scope.
