I like how u explain the game and don't spoil it at the same time

[ophidianmind]

It is always interesting to hear a personal best games list because it gives a glimpse into how someone connected with these games and what they mean to them as a gamer. You discover what elements of a genre are more important than others to this person and what it is about games that hold appeal. Then you can compare that to yourself and see where you overlap in what is important to you in a game. No two gamers will have the exact same priorities, there may be many similarities but what keeps you to continue playing games you enjoy is something very personal, and sharing the reason these games are so important to us without any grandstanding egos getting in the way is something that should be done more often. Regardless of how much your personal list might overlap with OJ's, just sharing which games we think are special and telling why is a great thing in itself. That is the core of who you are as a gamer.

Man, by far the best video you’ve done in a while. Bluntly I don’t like your news coverage, but when you cover just games I find your enthusiasm infectious.

I would like to see you cover more classics you enjoy in an in depth way.

[AvidanSmith]

As a creator, I have to acknowledge your efforts with the titles. You had 25 teaser titles that dont reveal the actual game

[acegio]

You put Atlstral Chain on 4th! So happy there's someone to constantly mention this epic game❤

[GracelessTarnished]

1. Final Fantasy VII
2. Final Fantasy IX
3. Chrono Trigger
4. Skies of Arcadia
5. Dragon Quest VIII

My personal top 5. I feel these games have absolutely impeccable pacing and only JRPGs i would consider absolutely flawless.

[dakotawinston]

Kinda disappointed I didn't see the Legend of Heroes series on here. That series IMO has the most "humanity" needed when we're talking about the "role playing" aspect of rpgs. Plus Dragon Quest 11 had me choked up when you saw a certain character's lifeless body on screen considering I have a daughter.

[Xenokhaos]

I can't chose between XC1, XC2 and XC3, I usually rate them all as my favourite games ever, including even X lol 😭I just love them all so much

[fakerstreet]

Crazy how people are saying you're crazy for your preferences lol. This is an amazing list that proves you're a solid jrpg fan. I also love the astral chain mention. Such an underrated game. I how platinum follows through with the sequal they mentioned years ago.

[BigBossCQCLegend]

Triangle Strategy is an Underrated Gem 💎 and I got the 3 Non True Endings and have to do the True Ending Path

[KingKarrot]

Ff7 and ff8 are my favorite games of all time. And somehow the 7 trilogy is even better

[elemthero]

OJ! Love and respect your list! I was surprised not to see Legend of Dragoon, Star Ocean 2, and Golden Sun. I’m sure you have buy if you haven’t played any of them. I’m sure you would love them!

[enhaylo]

I know this is your list... but the absence of any Nihon Falcom game on a JRPG list is heart-wrenching lol

[noa]

I'm really missing the Legends of Heroes series (Trails in the sky, Trails from Zero, Trails in Azure, Trails of Cold Steel I-IV etc). Totally agree with FE three houses and Persona 5 Royal

[jeffreytawney]

Great video! Lots of nostalgia. Surprised you had so many Pokémon games, but can't fault the list. Keep it up OJ!

[keithcastillo]

I am surprised Ys Viii Lacrimosa of Dana is not on your list. I played Astral Chain, Xenoblade Chronicles 2, and Octopath Traveler and all three of these cannot hold a candle to how good Ys Viii is.

[dylanpeddle]

Final Fantasy 9
Dragon Quest 11 /Dragon Quest 8
Kingdom hearts 2
Paper Mario TTYD
Super Mario RPG
Tales of Berseria
