Hey SwitchUp Family - it's not easy to choose just FIVE games each - what would your top five be? Mark

[SwedePotato]

Octopath Traveler, especially 2, changed me as a gamer. Ive never had a gaming experience like that. It was different than BotW, I dont know why, I cant really explain it, but the characters, voice acting, soundtrack... It just got me.

[jaydenmoon]

after 890+ hours in the Xeno series - Xenoblade 2 is my fave - but god I loved getting lost is all the worlds and lore - great picks on your games - I love hearing what JRPGs people love

[eggygazali]

Nintendo Switch is an RPG machine. So many incredibly great RPG to play!

[MrJimithee]

God, I LOVED Xenoblade 3... Never played one before
Completely out of my comfort zone, but I ended up doing 200 hrs on it...
And, yeah Mark, when I inevitably return to it I'll have to start all over again!
SO complicated, but still approachable for noobs... a nice drip-feed of mechanics

Xenoblade Chronicles might be, pound for pound, the single best RPG series I've ever played. Still waiting on that XC3 review, but thrilled to see it mentioned here!

[kriddikulous]

I finished xenoblade chronicles 3 and it's DLC last week, took me around 150 hours and I bloody loved it! Only issue now is i don't know what to tackle next, this list came at a great time!

[evenheller]

The Octopath games are truly special. Cherish them to bits.

[gtracer]

These are definitely some great picks. If I were limited to 5, I would have probably gone with The Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster Collection (IV, V, and VI are all masterpieces), Persona 4 Golden, Xenoblade Chronicles 3, Octopath Traveler 2 and Unicorn Overlord. Sea of stars, Star Ocean 2 and Golden Sun would be an honorable mentions.

My Switch top 5 (that I’ve played): 5. Triangle Strategy 4. Chained Echoes 3. Witcher III 2. Skyrim 1. Disco Elyseum

Nintendo Switch is the home for an ultimate selection of RPG's.

Paper Mario TTYD remake is really fun that I'm happy to have this and Super Mario RPG remake in my collection and soon to get Mario & Luigi Brothership to be next on my list.

[FictionalPersonality]

XC2 is my favorite one in the series. It almost makes me want to go inside the game and live there, it is that amazing

[concretecurse]

Great list. I finally got around to starting Chained Echoes. It's awesome. Good story, good art direction, good characters and skills. The reward board, switching characters mid battle, upgrading weapons and skills, fast travel, crystals, and healing after every battle, it has such a great modern feel while looking like one of the most beautiful SNES games ever. And as the guys mentioned some nice optional sliders to adjust the games difficulty to your liking. Rad game

[adam]

Would definitely add Neo World Ends With You and Monster Hunter Stories 2 to the list, or perhaps another video?
Both can be found for cheap and provided me a lot of fun. Neo has one of the most customizable battle systems and it just oozes style.
MHS2 in the meantime replaced Pokemon for me because it has a reasonable amount of monsters to choose from and they all feel distinct.

[perfectomega]

Finally. An actual JRPG list that acknowledges that zelda isn't an RPG.

[ppbunt]

Finally starting to enjoy JRPGs after 40 years of gaming! Better late than never eh?

[Knusper-Knoppers]

I would add Ni No Kuni. It's definitely not the best RPG, but it has a Lot of potential and it's still quite a good Game.

[TonyLaranjo]

I wish we’d get a Bravely Default 1 port to Switch as well. Bravely 2 was such a good game

[melaniapina]

Wow, loved the music choice in this video! Thanks for showing some love for Final Fantasy VIII, at least in the intro and outro 😊

[scranman]

Xenoblade Chronicles 3, Sea of Stars, Trials of Mana, Triangle Strategy, and Ys VIII
