I usually have a list of RPG’s to play for the year, I am going to use your list and play these coming up in 2024 along with the great RPG’s coming out that year also, thanks OJ!!!

[cassiodvieira]

I played and beat the original FF7 for the first time this year, and I now understand why that game was such a big deal when it came out. Great game!

[danielgervasi]

Always enjoy these lists OJ. Growing up, playing FF4 (not the best but since it was my first ever RPG it will always be special), 6, Chrono Trigger and FFX happened at pivotal moments in my life personally and experiencing great games like that stays with you. Chrono is also my #1 and someday I need to check out the DS version. These aren’t just games, they are art forms like a great novel or movie especially when they are 10/10.

Lost odyssey is the REAL FINAL FANTASY 13 ❤

[MC_Hammerpants]

If I see a video praising Lost Odyssey in a thumbnail I'm going to click! It's sad Phil Spencer chose not fund additional sequels and prequels because the 1000 year old stories really demonstrated the limitless possibilities and potential of the franchise.

I consider these to be the THE TOP jrpgs for these consoles.

NES: Destiny Of An Emperor (this game is super slept on but it's an amazing blend of Pokémon, Dragon Warrior and Dynasty Warriors. I highly recommend making an emulator run)

SNES: FF 6, Chrono Trigger, Secret Of Mana, Ogre Battle, Super Mario Rpg

Genesis: Shining Force 1 and 2, Phantasy Star 4

PS1: FF7, FF: Tactics, Suikoden 2, Parasite Eve

N64: Ogre Battle 64, Paper Mario

GameCube: Skies Of Arcadia, Baten Kaitos, Gauntlet Legends: Dark Legacy

Dreamcast: Grandia 2

PS2: Shadow Hearts 1 and 2, FF 10, SMT Nocturne, Growlanser 3, Persona 3 and 4,

Wii: Xenoblade Chronicles (what a revolutionary game this was. The first game to successfully blend wjrpg open world mechanics into the JRPG formula. I wish it was mandatory for Square Enix employees to play this)

XBOX 360/PS3: Lost Odyssey, Resonance Of Fate, South Park: Stick Of Truth

Switch/Xbone/Ps4: way too many to even start!

[eldenknight]

1. Final Fantasy IV through X
2. Persona 4 and 5 (never played the others)
3. Xenosaga

[sporkticus]

Awesome list! Mine is Chrono trigger, FF6, FF7, Xenogears, Radiant Historia, persona 5, Star Ocean 2, Super Mario RPG, FF Tactics and Fire Emblem Awakening.

[KisekiGamer]

Xenoblade 3 for sure
Chrono Trigger Most definitely
2 more are sequels but they are God Tier
Trails in the Sky SC and Trails to Azure

[Elvenlijk]

Great list OJ. I agree with most of them. I just would put Xenogears in instead of Skies of Arcadia, but overall is a very solid selection of games.

[majoraz]

All these games are amazing! I think these are also some must plays: Dragon Quest 11, Fire Emblem Echoes, Final Fantasy X, Blue Dragon and Pokemon X/Y

[Ronsilk-puhr]

I'm so glad you put Skies of Arcadia on your list.
I played through it 3 times on the dreamcast.
I would love to play the Legends version someday somehow.

[apoplexiamusic]

There are so many incredible JRPGs in this moment in time, but of course there could be no other number 1.

[BadrYousef]

Thank you for mentioning Lost Odyssey.

[HappyFT-ynxe]

Great video, honestly your constant praise of the Xenoblade franchise is what got me into it and now it’s in my top 3 for favorite jrpgs

[joeb]

If your basing the game on what the system pulled off, you gotta mention Phantasy Star 1 on the Sega Master System. That was a great game, and still is!

[MrLGDdestroyer]

I like the vibe you have here, your sound more chill than usual, and i kinda like it!

[XBC-GOTY]

My Top 10 JRPG of All Time are:

1. Persona 5 Royal
2. Persona 4 Golden
3. XenoBlade Chronicles 3 Including Future Redeems
4. XenoBlade Chronicles Definitive Edition
5. Fire Emblem Three Houses
6. Lost Odyssey
7. FF7
8. FF9
9. Triangle Strategy
10. Fire Emblem Engage
have to play FF6 and Chrono Trigger to see if they can both be on my List

[chrisgideonrosario]

My favorite RPG's of all time in no particular order, cause they are THAT good to me:

Final Fantasy 4, 6, & 7
Final Fantasy Tactics (and Tactics Advance 2)
Chrono Trigger
Baldur's Gate 3
Dragon Quest 8 & 11
Fire Emblem Awakening (I almost forgot how AMAZING this game is)
Shadowrun (SNES)
Xenogears
Shining Force 1 & 2
Persona 4 & 5

Now if you ask me to rank them that would be VERY hard for me. Those are the top dogs in my book.

[MGSCOBRAgames]

For me, Lost Odyssey was the true ff10. I really missed alot of elements missing from previous final fantasies, especially the explorable world map and vehicles and Lost Odyssey captured that feel perfectly
