This is a very hard decision.

With the exception of those released in the past 3 years, I've played almost every RPG there is, and these two are by far the best.

Chrono Trigger had the mutliple endings and the New Game+, which totally kicked ass and actually added replay value to an RPG, which a very rare and unique quality for the genre. I liked the time travel and how anything you did in the past affected the future. It's one of those games that you don't wanna stop playing.

FF7 also had some very kick ass qualities as well. Starting off in Midgar only to find out there's a HUGE world just outside the door was an awesome beginning. Tons of hidden stuff, and the weapons were awesome as hell.

I think the Ruby/Emerald weapons were THE BEST "optional extras" included in an RPG ever. Your jaw just drops to the floor when you realize that they beat the shit outta you at level 99 and it'll require a bit of strategy to beat 'em.

The story line in FF7 was also pretty twisted.

My choice would be with Chrono Trigger simply because it was one of the best ideas for an RPG ever. The multiple paths and endings and the ability to go back and forth in time was really something never before seen. Almost everything about it was unique.

While FF7 was a great game and one of the best RPGs ever made, everything in it (short of the weapons) had been done before. The only difference is that FF7 did it better than everything else before it.
