xenogears was so incredible, that it got released twice. No joke, I bought the game when it first came out and the boom they released it again way later. One of the Best RPGs I have ever played.

Chrono Trigger is a masterpiece, no argument there. However the top spot for me, would have to be Star Ocean The Second Story. The amount of different things possible in that game, the story, the crafting (during a time when crafting wasn't really a thing), the fact that it was action rpg during battles(which also had a 2-player function), the stealing system and let's not forget the 80 different possible endings!

As much as I love the original kingdom hearts, the only reason you should ever rank that as the best game in the series, is if you have never played Kingdom Hearts 2

[BrianHallmond]

SUIKODEN 2 IS THE BEST! So glad you mentioned this game. It's a masterpiece.

Fans will forever debate which JRPG is the best (or worst), but one thing is undeniable...the genre itself has produced some of the finest and most memorable games in history.
JRPGs > all other genres.

[JaidynReiman]

Wish Tales, Golden Sun, and Lufia II would've at least gotten honorable mentions...

[BillyboK]

Wow, me and WatchMojo can actually agree on something. I actually support all the games on this list spot-on. I was expecting Pkmn Red and Blue, which was the "typical" choice for 3rd, but I was so damned happy Crystal got it! 

Ironically I made my own video of this a few weeks back, and look what made number one here and there, haha!

Thank you for the Xenogears love which is usually left off most lists. One of my favorites of all time and most wished for remake of all time.

Anything with the hand of Akira Toriyama on it it's pure gold.

I saw Top 1 Chrono Trigger, automatically clicked "like" in this video. A true masterpiece.

[Fernando-gznu]

Chrono trigger needs a rerelease on the Switch or PS4

[ssrafael]

As a classic JRPG game (NES, SNES), I have something to say that might upset some people, but it's just my opinion. I always said Chrono Trigger was the best RPG of all times... until I played Suikoden II... That game is just FANTASTIC.

Chrono Trigger being at number 1 is no surprise, its the greatest game of all time

[Wiconder]

Suikoden II, Persona 4 and Chrono Trigger are my faves off this list!

[mercurybby]

The Mother series is fucking beautiful. ❤ It's my favorite video game series. While it's sad to see EarthBound ranked #8 on the list, it's nice to see it mentioned in the video.

[NashMuhandes]

Chrono Trigger is the best SNES RPG ever made, hands down.

[SatoshiMatrix]

I don't entirely agree with this list, but not gonna fanboy rage the writer's opinions differ from my own.
