No. 39: Grandia – 100 Greatest Games Ever
The single best RPG of the 32-bit era, Grandia was originally released for the Saturn before getting a English port to the Playstation. 60 hours of gameplay await you, a massive, beautiful world (with a 3D envioronment that you can swing the camera completely around!), and a story that gets increasingly dark without falling into melodrama like so many of its colleagues.
It's now available as a PSOne Classic on the PS3, so if you missed it the first time around no more excuses.
