Chrono Cross
Chrono Cross may not have had the largest budget, but it has the largest heart.

The Legend of Dragoon
While it's a good first try, Sony's inexperience with the genre shows through, resulting in a highly generic RPG with some out-of-this-world FMV.

Xenogears
Xenogears' reliance on story, subtlety, and mood make it Square's most anime-like RPG thus far, in many ways making the game one of its best.
