What is your absolute #1 Favorite game out of your enitre collection?

[Moriya Hanzo]

No matter how long or how many times i beat it i still comeback to play and love this game. A year or two can pass and i still can say that this is my absolute all time fav that i still own.

What is it you might say?

Front Mission 3 PSone.....over 300 hrs i have logged into this awesome RPG/Mech game. This is the game that got me into RPGs in the 1st place.


What is yours? post and make comments here.

[Ghost Soldier]

I'm going to go with Secret of Mana.  This game draws me in everytime. 

[The Metamorphosing Leon]

Probably Symphony of the Night.

Mine is definately Fire Emblem for the GBA.  I've beaten the game countless times (though never on Hector Hard Mode), and poured hundreds of hours into it.  I remember one time when I borrowed my brothers SP (I still had an Advance from launch) and played from like 10 at night until about 6:30 the next morning.  The best part was that I slept for half an hour, then went to school .

[Shimra]

Super Metroid
then Super Mario Brothers 3 (allstars version)
then Skies of Arcadia: Legends

[Sirgin]

Final Fantasy 9, probably largely due to the fact it was the first serious RPG I played. Somehow, nothing has ever managed to beat that experience. But Metal Gear Solid 3 comes in a close second.

[Cobra]

Snatcher
I probably will never play it again as I played it to death for years, probably beating it around 20 times. But It'll always be king.

Shadowrun Genesis.  I've played this game for FAR too long, having done everything you can possibly do hundreds of times over.  GREATEST GAME EVER!

[Wolfman Walt]

For consoles? Godhand.
PC? Probably Fallout 1/2 though Baldurs Gate 2 and Jagged Alliance come close.

Since he asked me to pick one game I would have to agree with Sirgin. There are only 3 RPGs I've felt the need to play through multiple times and this is the one i've spent the most time on. Two of the most memorable characters in my gaming career (if only I got paid to game) are from this game and I still love playing it and discussing it.

If I had to pick a series though it would hands down be Mega Man. I've played 2,3 and X- X3 a ton more than i've played any other game ever.

I have my fingers crossed that Jagged Alliance DS is somewhat of a good game. I love the series and to have a portable version of it would be marvelous.

As for my favorite game in my collection, it would have to be Morrowind GOTY Edition. Reason being it has so much replay value one can play it for years and then go back and have completely different characters and go through the game again and again.

^Not Oblivion?

[ga5ket]

Ikaruga on the Game Cube. If I had the Dreamcast version it'd be that for sure, cos I'm a Sega whore, but for now it's the GC version. I love shmups anyway, but the graphics and music just do it for me on that one,
I wouldn't consider myself any kind of expert at it, certainly nowhere near the level of the pros, but then again I do have a life

EDITed a stupid spelling mistake. d'oh!

^Not Oblivion?

Oblivion blows compared to Morrowind.

It's awesome, isn't it?

Sadly enough, not that many people seem to think the same.
Most people are either not a fan of the FF series or will either say #6 or #7 is their favorite. You almost never hear someone say #9 was their favorite, let alone favorite game of all time.

Ah, who cares...we know better don't we?

Also:

Final Fantasy IX is also considered by Sakaguchi to be his favorite game as "it's closest to [his] ideal view of what Final Fantasy should be".

Sakaguchi himself thinks FF9 is the best, how cool is that.
