Why was it necessary to spoil dragon quest XI when you are recommending it?

[FelixS.]

Decent list, let me supplement your choices with some other classics:
- FFVII-IX or XII (all vastly superior to overrated Final onewaystreet X)
- Ys VIII (one of the best Action RPGs ever made)
- Xenoblade Chronicles 2 (I will never be able to decide which I love more: 1 or 2)
- Saga Frontier Remastered (another PSX classic which has been finally completed in this Remastered iteration)
- Harvestella (another SE hidden gem)
- Chained Echoes (most likely the best indie JRPG ever made)
- Live A Live (basically the inspiration for games like Chrono Trigger or Octopath Traveler)
- Dragon Quest Monsters 3 (the game Pokémon whished to be)
- Baten Kaitos 1 & 2 HD Remaster (the "predecessors" of Xenoblade by the same devs)
- Triangle Strategy (a very good spiritual successor to Final Fantasy Tactics)
- Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door (beloved sequel of the N64 orignal)
- Shin Megami Tensei 3 Nocturne (to me the athmospheric best SMT game)
- Trials of Mana (a superb remake of the SNES classic)
- Eiyuden Chroicle (the spiritual successor of the Suikoden series)
- Trails to Azure (as essential as Trails from Zero)

FFX you play as Titus, FFX-2 you don’t play.

nier automata is not a jrpg but an action rpg

Why isn’t Paper Mario thousand year door on this list?
