Your Playstation console might be gathering dust in a closet somewhere, but the games don't have to be. With two new generations of consoles that gladly boot up and run anything Sony pushed out 
the door in the last 12 years, you can guarantee that there are hundreds of gems that you're missing out on. The Playstation saw the introduction of countless franchises and companies that today make some of the best games in the world. But for those that didn't own a Playstation way back when or didn't take the time to play every amazing game that made its way down the pipe, you're seriously missing out.
The RPG genre took off on the Playstation console in a way it never could before. The introduction of the disc format made it possible to not only pack video and music into games, but to make them longer and bigger than ever before. Nintendo lost an entire genre by sticking with cartridges. And franchises like Final Fantasy reached all new heights.
Final Fantasy VII-IX
The Final Fantasy franchise has long been a staple of the RPG realm. Since the early days of Nintendo's NES, it's defined and redefined how we view the genre. In the late 90s, it did it again with Sony's disc playing machine, showing just how great these games can look and how big they can become. Final Fantasy VII was the first truly huge 3d RPG epic, and Square never looked back. Final Fantasy VIII introduced full featured human models, and Final Fantasy IX's epic scope and throw back to classic style are unforgettable.
Chrono Cross
As a sequel to Chronotrigger, one of the most popular RPGs released for the SNES, Chrono Cross was everything Squaresoft promised. With over 100 playable characters, multiple endings and much applauded New Game + mode that made Chronotrigger so much fun, the game had hours and hours of fun hidden in its depths. If only now they would bring back the Chrono series one last time for the fans of the series who've been clinging on for so long. One of the truly great franchises in RPGs.
