I loved Soul Blazer back in the day but it was pretty soft on the RPG side of things. Also, there were so many better RPGs than a few on this list. Final Fantasy Mystic Quest was not a good RPG (it was not a good game for that matter). This list is missing:
Tales of Phantasia Star Ocean Live A Live Zelda a Link to the Past (if you are okay with Soul Blazer being here) Dragon Quest 5 and/or 6 Seiken Densetsu 3 (Secret of Mana 2) Final Fantasy 5
The main reason was the cd. It allowed for so much more content to be available per game. The graphics were better, the sounds(mostly the music) could be so much better on a disk than a cartridge due to space limitations. That's not even to talk about the ps1 controller vs the n64's. I was cut my teeth on the NES, fell in love with gaming on the SNES. However, when the N64 came out I was wildly disappointed by the look and feel of the games. The PS1 library was just better. Yes, I did love Mario 64 and Ocarina, but most other games were inferior to comparable games on the PS1 (007 did have the best couch multiplayer experience of its time, but again I am out of things that the N64 did better).
