7. Terranigma (SNES)
This one comes in as yet another Enix piece for the SNES and not any less as epic as the previous one. And it comes as a spiritual successor to another great and lesser known game (making this one a two-for-one) called Illusion of Gaia (Illusion of Time to most English speakers). But dont worry this game stands alone incredibly well and isnt even a sequel to Illusion of Gaia. Honestly, the pure story around this one makes it one of the best RPGs Ive played in a long time as it follows a single boy on his quest to resurrect the world by traveling through the lightside and darksides of a fake Earth. Just to add to the incredibleness of this title as well is the great soundtrack, which really intensifies some of the major battles, like against Dark Gaia (the devil). Unfortunately this game was never released in the states, but you can find it easily enough these days through Amazon or similar places. However if you cant pick it up, the more common Illusion of Gaia was made worldwide and although the story is quite different it is still technically kind of in the same world as Terranigma. Regardless both can only be found for the Super Nintendo as well. It's likely because of this non-US release that many people in the states aren't aware of this game, but even with the UK release it was never truly promoted in favor of other Enix releases that were done around the same time (plus Enix wasn't that well known back then). Still, since this game falls in line with an epic battle of dark versus light and a character somewhere in between, you'll find some similarities and plenty of differences to other role-playing games.
