I recently got FF Anthology and a PSone. I'm interested in FF7 (just to see if it deserves this being called "BEST GAEM EVAR"), and FF9. I'm also thinking of FF Tactics.

What other kinds of RPG-like games or games in general I should play for the PS1?

Chrono Trigger, Chrono Cross, Vagrant Story and Xenogears if you're into RPGs.
All of the Crash Bandicoots and Rayman if you're in for some platforming.
MGS1 if you're up for some stealth and a deep story.

OK so I'm just gonna say my collection of PS1 games and it has a wide range of genres (not any JRPGs on here though). I would recommend every single one.

Spider-Man
Doom
Alien Trilogy
Any Crash Bandicoot game
Any Spyro game
Oddworld Abes Oddeysee and Abes Exoddus
Resident Evil (1, 2, 3 + Survivor)
Tomb Raider (I, II, III, TLR and Chronicles
Tekken (I, II, III)
Legacy of Kaine: Blood Omen and Soul Reaver
Silent Hill

Doom
Ace Combat 2
Armored Core

Both Gran Turismos, Ace Combat 2, and both Tony Hawk's Pro Skaters.

Tekken 3, Silent Hill, CB 1 2 and 3 and Tomb Raider 1 2 and 3 are some of my favourites (I've got those)

These are the game I have for the PS1

Ape Escape
FFVII
FFIX
all 3 Spyro Games
Toy Story 2

I also have Lemmings and the Game of Life, but to most of you that would seem like worthless shovelware.

Ones I had but then sold include Croc and THPS2. I sold the first one because it was boring and the other because it didn't have the feel I liked of THPS3 and the THUG games.

Nice joke.

Twisted Metal 2 is an absolute must.

If you want to play a good RPG play Grandia or Koudelka.
Some other games I would recommend are:
Devil Dice
MediEvil
Galerians
Parasite Eve
Tombi 2
Future Cop L.A.P.D.

For RPG's, Legend of Legaia is worth a look. Not really top tier, but I had a lot of fun with it.

Colony Wars is sadly overlooked, probably played that demo more than any other game demo. Really wish it would make a comeback.

Same goes for the Gex series.

Hard as hell to find, but check out 'LSD the dream simulator' if you can.

As far as guilty pleasures go, I put more time into Star Wars: Masters of Teras Kasi than I should have.

I've heard nice things about Suikoden, and it being one of the best RPG's on PS1. My friend who is known for never finishing RPG's, played through the whole game without losing interest.

Also, one overlooked RPG would be Legend of Dragoon. To be honest, the character models look really bad, but the pre-rendered backgrounds are beautiful, music is decent, story is pretty nice, and the battles are fun. It's far from perfect, but I enjoyed it quite a lot anyway.

If I had to mention something that wasn't an RPG, or an obvious choise like Crash or Spyro, I'd say Dino Crisis 2. It's more action oriented than Dino Crisis 1, but I think it was, and still is, one helluva game. On graphical level, it looks pretty much as good as Resident Evil 2 or 3. And if you liked Resident Evil, then the first Dino Crisis is worth a try too (it has pretty difficult puzzles though, and thus might block your progress often).

Funnily enough, I was just thinking about replaying Colony Wars – Red Sun again after all these years. Right after I finish Phantasy Star IV.

ace combat 3: electrosphere

Arc the Lad, Medievil, Spyro the dragon, Megaman Legends 1 & 2.

I'd recommend Twisted Metal 2 and Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver.

Busby 3D

…Just kidding.

TBH: I've never owned a PS1, so I don't know any games for it.

Sorry.

i highly recommend finding the japanese version for this one.
The western version was stripped away so much of content that it feels barebones at best.

It's alright.

The Rayman games were pretty fun. And yup, Ape Escape is pretty good and Silent Hill is pretty spoopy.

WipEout 2097 or Wip3out. You'll be surprised what your console is capable of.

The original Battlefield

Panzer Bandit
GaiaSeed
The Rapid Angels
And some Asuka 120% titles.

^this
The Japanese version has multiple endings. That's right, multiple endings on a flight combat game.

Vib-Ribbon (Just get the Japanese version and region free your system)

No thanks, I don't want to pay hundreds of dollars for a Net Yaroze, and have to deal with playing a game that I can't read.

Vandal Hearts (Similar to Fire Emblem), SOTN, MGS, Bushido Blade

Disney actually made some fun platformers for the ps1. Monsters Inc. Scream Team, Alaadin, and Emperor's New Groove come to mind. There's also the Namco Museum series if you're looking to play some arcade classics like Tower of Duraga.

Any of the Xenogear series, if you're into mecha.
Defiantly crash bandicoot, maybe the megaman series on ps1.
But defiantly grand turismo.
