Help with PS1 RPGs
Megatron:
Hey guys, I have a question. My big collecting goal right now is to acquire all the NA NTSC PS1 RPG titles (that is a lot of acronyms in a row). I have the majority of them and am winding down, however it is difficult finding a cohesive list for what counts as an RPG. Below I have put the list I have been going off of for my collection (emboldened means I still need to acquire it). Can anyone think of any titles that are not on this list that should qualify? I'd appreciate any input anyone has, as there are certain titles (like Blood Omen) that I originally did not think would count, but have been persuaded to include. This is my last big collecting goal for a while, and while I am in no rush to complete it, I want to be able to definitively say that I caught them all.
The list I have so far...again, looking for US releases only.

wiggy:
SotN is a pretty far cry from an RPG.
Nectaris probably qualifies for the list.
Megatron:
I don't disagree. But you may be surprised as to how many "official" lists out there include it. My guess would be because of the leveling up and stats features. I figure I'd rather have the list be too big than overlook something. Besides, I already had the game so it doesn't really matter.
Thanks for the suggestion. I will check out Nectaris. :)
Bear78:
Gran Turismo 1 & 2 :P
But really, Gauntlet Legends maybe?
Also the Deception games have RPG elements I believe.
ShoothimNow:
Mega Man Legends 1?
Mega Man Legends 2?
With an open world, and weapon/armor progression, and story line, I personally would classify them as RPG.
As stated above... ehhh... SOTN is a stretch... as thats really not... open world... (along with story line? I mean.... kill Death / Dracula), but still
