Someone posted a bit ago about the super station one fpga system and i decided to preorder one. Now I’m curious, what would all of your essentials be for the playstation system?

No need to give me a whole list, but if you can share me some of your standouts and why, id appreciate it.

i’ve played very little of ps1 and didn’t even realize it was a system until the ps2 came out!

Final Fantasy VII/IX (not VIII)
Tales of Phantasia (has a PSP remake with a lot of extra content but that's JP-only...)

But have you considered FFVIII, the best of the PS1 RPGs?

IX over VIII, my brother/sister

I'm currently replaying all of them via emulator the last few weeks, and I have to say I respectfully disagree.

IX's combat system just feels simplified compared to the depth that VIII had.

Could you absolutely cheese the draw system...of course. But if you avoided the temptation, the almost limitless mechanics of stat pairing was fun to play around with when taking on different enemies.
