They all look nice in their own way

Zelda's similarity to Graal may have gathered it more votes than it would get outside of the Graal community. Not that there's any problem with that, but interesting to consider.
edit: probably should say Graal's similarity to Zelda, rather than the other way around

Breath of Fire II looks so good!

Really surprised how Alttp is getting the most votes. The reputation around the internet from what I've seem is usually that its not all that great looking, and I agree. Guess that's because this is a grasl forum and Graal is heavily 'inspired' by a link to the past.

Secrets of mana looks the best to me. Love how the shadows are done on the tree.

I'm gonna have to go with Earth Bound

Harder for me to pick a best out of these rather than a worst. Earthbound is definitely the worst, followed by DQ6. I'd probably rank them as:

Secret of Mana II
FF6
Chrono Trigger
ALttP
Secret of Evermore

Best game is Chrono Trigger followed by FF6 though

Secret of mana & Chrono Trigger

Earthbound has the most 'charm', if you actually play it you'd grow to love the graphics. The quirky sense of humor plays well with the style, the colors set the best moods. It's just amazing. The whole game (writing/dialogue, graphics, charm, humor, gameplay) mixes nicely together and as an outsider it's easy to overlook the whole game---I've come to know it as; 'A face only a father could love." Everyone has their own taste, but the reason Earthbound/Mother 2 has my vote are the colors.

Zelda, and by far in my opinion. Really clean style which plays to the low resolution of the SNES.

Ditto.

I think Secrets of Mana has the most artistic value, but there's no place for that kind of art on the SNES. LTTP is the most enjoyable to look at since it doesn't try to be something out of its reach.

I personally believe secret of mana II looks the best, most appealing for me would be a Link to the past.

Sounds like your opinion is just bias and the whole argument you made sounds inexperienced and stupid

Okay?

Why do you still exist? You got fired on Graal for being an irrelevant loser, like you are in real life lmao

If I were to be real for a second I'd have to say something along the lines of:

1) "Secret of Mana II"
2) Chrono Trigger
3) Tales of Phantasia (the battle screens have some of the nicest GFX on SNES imo)

FF6 has really nice monster sprites and a couple of good looking characters but that's about it. As a kid I thought ALTTP looked a bit dull but not at all bad.
