For me, it's Panzer Dragoon Saga (Saturn 1998). I might have enjoyed some games more than it - very, very few to be precise - but for what it did back in its day there was no way of getting any better. The PD universe is as diverse as it is mysterious, the characters are fantastic, the drama intense - without comic relief EVERYWHERE just because it's supposedly an Eastern RPG - the scenario is serious and full of interesting events and the combat is great.
There is very little to be found in terms of "problems" in this title since it nailed down most of the problems of the genre and addressed them: No insane encounter rate, no endless fetch quests, no tons of obsolete gear everywhere. Everything in PDS had its purpose as much as every and each one of its characters had a specific role to play in the events.
Real shame that so few people got to experience it...

FiOth knows his stuff. Panzer Dragoon's the shit.
My vote for "Best Game Ever" (not favorite game ever) would probably go to Phantasy Star II.
Yes, it's dated. I still play it regularly.
I'll play it on my deathbed.
If we're looking at games post 1990 with flashy graphics and high tech thingamajigs, then I'd probably drop my pants in a toss up between Persona 3 and Shenmue.

I am sure Jack Thompson already has his eyes on this forum. You are playing with fire Chris. xD

Jack Thompson would call someone out on something like that seeing as he has no grasp of the law or constitution and that's the reason he's been disbarred.

Spending so much texting energy to state something about the creature in question gives it too much credit matie.

For me the I would have to pick either Final Fantasy III on the SNES (I think it was FF VI in japan) or Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past on SNES.
Final Fantasy III had Shadow, he was a freakin ninja.... A NINJA.... nuff said
Legend of Zelda had the Triforce, The Master Sword, Gannon and a Light and Dark World

In terms of sheer story, I go with Alan Wake all the way. I doubt there has been any other game that actually drew me in to the story like Alan Wake, kept me invested, and made me genuinely NEED to advance the game to find out what was about to happen. And the ending (not DLC, they did nothing for the story)!!! Perfect!!!
But, in terms of an RPG.....I would go with Lunar: The Silver Star. Great characters and you have to love any translation by WD. And how can you beat a game that has a miniature dragon that replies to one man with "I have a bugger on my paw, and I need to wipe it!".
