yes, i am another rpg junkie. since i am aware of the fact that a good majority of you like rpgs, i will ask you which one i should get:

1) vagrant story
2) dragon quest VII
3) xenogears

i have heard great things about all three, but i do not know which one is the best emulated or indeed, which one is the best of he three.

Xenogears is essential. Vargrant story is rockin, and hven't played Dragon Quest

If you prefer graphic to story than you can eliminate DQ VII.

Na.. if you like graphic and story you can try Xenogears (perfect with ePSXe, except that I have some problem, check my thread ^^)

Vagrant Story is also good. But it is more action oriented. I can't stand this game. Actually it it good but I don't think the gameplay suits me.

I say... Xenogears

I'd go with that, exept that I really got into Vagrant Story, so it worked

ToD was never released in Europe. DAMN YOU EA!!! :rockets:
I've played the Snes translation of Tales of Phantasia though, is it like that?

all the "Tales of" games are similar, especially in battle. Its just that the newer ones will have better graphics (obviously). they did increase the number of characters you get to have in your party in ToD compared to ToP.

I might see if my Godfather can pick up a copy of ToD for me when he comes accross from the US in a few months

I would grab all 3 if I can. :) ... actually I did. :rolleyes:

If you have to choose:
Xenogear is the overall best. good graphic, good story, nice all around.
Dragon Warrior VII has better story, but the graphics is less encouraging. :D

I would put Vagrant story last. Don't get me wrong, it's a great game, but it's not much of a RPG. So if RPG is what you are looking for, it's definitely not it.
