    I recently got hold of the Classic controller and i've been playing a few of the SNES games. I wan to play through one of the RPG. I'm looking at:

    - Final fantasy 2

    - Final fantasy 3

    - Chrono trigger

    Any thoughts on which one I should go for? I prefer the fantasy RPGs rather than the Sci fi ones.

    Chrono Trigger is the best JRPG on the SNES, so I'd say go with that.

    Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars is the REAL best JRPG on the SNES.

    I would say this, but only follow this advice if you want everything else to pale in comparison.

    I don't like JRPGs but I really enjoyed Chrono Trigger.

    If I'm correct, Final Fantasy 3 is actually VI. If so, get that.

    If it's the american 2 and 3, you should go for 3. It's better than Chrono Trigger, and I'll fight anyone on that point.

    If it's the actual FF3, I'd say you are better off not playing it. But that's just me.

    By final fantasy II and III you mean Final Fantasy IV and VI right? I enjoyed VI most would argue the last great Final Fantasy before Tetsuya Nomura got his hands on it and added his defining style to the series.

    SNES means not Japan, and also means SNES. So FF 2 and 3 definitely mean 4 and 6 here.
