I like the list, I think a lot of people wouldn't understand why trails is #1 unless they have played it thoroughly.

[npcsenpai]

Haven't played a lot of JRPGs but the ones I played on this list are ranked as -
1. DQ 11
2. The Legend of Heroes - Trails in the Sky (what I'd give to get a Remake in a 3rd person modern graphics)
3. Nier Automata
4. Tales of Arise

[Kevinberg]

Love to see Trails at first place, so good across all games

[XBC-GOTY]

The Legend of Heroes Trails Series is the Most underrated JRPG Series of All Time

[phongpham]

Trails series is much better than final fantasy
Trails had zero bad game period

[Duchessclotho]

I just finished Trails of Cold Steel IV and I legit cried at the end. Partly because the ending was so touching but mostly because I will miss these characters. I've played all four and it felt like I was there with them. Amazing series. I played Trails from Zero (it was excellent) and will be playing the Trails to Azure when it comes out. If you don't want to play all of the Trails games, I highly recommend you read the lore so when you play Trails of Cold Steel III and IV, you will know all of the characters and it will give much more depth to the story.

Trails series #1
I love that they keep it consistent world that makes world that feels alive more alive because it keeps progressing as you live through your life, while other series just happened to have the same old name but always reset or make new world.
And also the series is pretty down to earth, you deal with underworld, secret organization, and political situation. Not the, travel to another realm and fight God unrelatable kind of story.

[thefallenone]

Good top. Trails series is great and doesn't have really bad games

[femtrooper]

Awesome list! Love how everyone’s top JRPGs are so different. Great video!

[tigerex]

It was interesting to see the perspective of a young person make his favorites list interesting. It is so different for people like me who grew up in the 80s and 90s.

Great list.
Especially appreciate you put Harvestella on it. A highly underrated jrpg with some of the best storytelling I've seen past decade. Some of the plot twists, even those of the silly side quests, kept me thinking about them long after finishing the game.

[mystic]

Props for the Kiseki series. I'm a big fan myself <3

[RikyPerdana]

This list was saved when you included Suikoden 2. But the lack of Breath of Fire 4 is unforgivable still

[colinmunro]

I'm glad to see Xenoblade Chronicles ranked so highly on this list. The series is finally starting to get the recognition it deserves. I was so happy to see Xenoblade Chronicles 3 nominated for multiple awards including game of the year at The Game Awards this year. I think it would have won best score and music, best role playing game, and possibly game of the year if The Game Awards didn't so heavily favour games that cater more strongly to Western audiences. I'm not disappointed that Xenoblade Chronicles 3 lost game of the year to Elden Ring. Out of all the nominees, Elden Ring is the only one that I had no qualms beating Xenoblade Chronicles 3. Xenoblade Chronicles 2 wasn't nominated for anything at The Game Awards in 2017, but that's most likely because it was probably the weakest numbered Xenoblade game coupled with the fact that it had to contend with more well known heavy hitters from both sides of the Pacific just to be nominated for anything at all. It's ridiculous just how good a year 2017 was for gaming. I think if The Game Awards were around in 2009 then Xenoblade Chronicles would have been a strong contender for game of the year, for single-handedly reviving interest in JRPGs in the Western market at a time when industry heavyweights like Final Fantasy were seeing fewer sales outside of Japan. Operation Rainfall was a miracle, and sight to behold. I humbly thank the dedicated fans of good games who passionately wrote to Nintendo of America en masse to bring us one of the best games of all time, that spawned a series that has touched so many hearts and minds and will hopefully stand the test of time. Only time will tell.

[chumbosaurio]

Yakuza like a dragon, trails of cold Steel series and YS lacrimosa.

[Turbo_Waitress]

I am loving Harvestella, so I’m glad to see it on your list!

[wpelfeta]

Final Fantasy 14. It gets overlooked often because it is an MMO, but it is really one of the best stories in the franchise.

[ExWhizzy]

Thought this was a serious top list. Then I realized that my man was trolling when I saw Suikoden 2 at rank 16. 🤣
Aside of that its a great list. :D

[ru]

I love how that Giant's attack in Suikoden 2 at @6:51 has more oomph than so many current gen moves.
