Can't beat the Golden Age of RPGs. It's like games companies have forgotten how to make a 'proper' JRPG. It's actually rare these days to see towns full of NPCs and almost unheard of to see a world map any more.

Golden Sun 1 & 2 were so great games!
Not only for GBA standards but for RPGs in general.
Too bad the series never got the conclusion it deserved.

The entirety of the Mario & Luigi RPG series holds a very special place in my heart. They may not be groundbreaking like Dragon Quest or Final Fantasy, nor are they my personal favorite JRPGs (that honor belongs to both Chrono Trigger and Xenoblade Chronicles), but they're fun enough in both their story and gameplay that I really recommend them to anyone who's just looking for a great time.

Ps1 and ps2 are the best jrpg games ever in my opinion. The golden era

"Final Fantasy IX, the last game on this list and the last of the classics."

*SHOTS FIRED AT FFX*

[klaymeister]

I heard the "Searching for Friends" theme for FF6 and was thinking how amazing the music for that game is. Then you said "can we just talk about the soundtrack?" Yes, yes we can.

"because no one wanted that dumpster fire Chrono Cross"

Okay, calm down. It was shit, but it was MY shit ;__;

[liveyourdreammedia]

Aaah yeah my lucky day, David uploads another list!

[istrasci]

1:37 - I'm convinced that "Techno de Chocobo" can put absolutely anyone in the best of moods at anytime.

[codeninja]

Your lists are how you like your jrpgs. No filler. 30 games in under 12 minutes? Excellent. Some games I've never heard of like that popolocrois which looks fantastic.

[awesomemccool]

Thank you for doing this list. I've been looking forward to it.

[joshuawatts]

I named my daughter after Noa from Legend of Lagaia... this list of the 30 favorites is right on par with what I would consider most of my favorites.

[carlosaugustoferreirakopp]

Great list! I love that you always put some hidden gems instead of predictable choices.

I was surprised that you didn't put Dragon Quest XI, I loved this one!

[CorndogRocket]

Love the nod to Legend of Legaia. That game seldom gets the love it deserves.

[alexiere]

I think you are my RPG soul mate...I miss the good times. Getting lost in the story, worlds, music. Great video.

[quezcatol]

This is a very solid list, I would include Persona 4, 5 and trails in the sky FC and SC on my top 30 though but yeah- those FF & DQ games, Vesperia, Star Ocean 2, Grandia 2, Lost Odyssey, Lunar and Chrono Trigger would def be in my list as well.

[testosterone]

shocked that there were no megaten games.

[liamobrien]

0:23- “And I’m probably biased cause I’m an old bitch” I DIED LMAO

[nintenjoel]

and the finisher!!!! #30 is one of my favorite games of all time and I constantly mention it on my channel! One of the best combat systems in a jrpg ever and an amazing story, to boot. Great vid!
