    So I missed number 8, unfortunately. I'm not sure which game would fit in that number, but if you guys had to choose, which JRPG would it be? Come on, I know you all love saying "where is this game?" or "this game should have been on the list" so here's your chance to include THAT particular game!

    Hoo boy, since I've made it a habit of making my own lists on the same subject as you, but 100 games seems a bit steep, so I'll meet you halfway there. So yeah, here are my top 50 JRPGs, with my three rules just to make things a little less monotonous:
    1. I'll only include games I've played (duh)
    2. I will only list a game once, so for example, I won't be using both Persona 4 AND Persona 4: Golden.
    3. Only three games per franchise, just to avoid too much repetition (looking at you Tales and Pokémon)
    Anyways, here we go:

    48. Bravely Second: End Layer
    47. Fairy Fencer F: Dark Advent Force

    24. Pokémon Heartgold & Soulsilver
    23. Arc the Lad: Twilight of the Spirits

      @acidwizard6528 5 лет назад +6

      Chrono Trigger is one of, if not the greatest JRPG of all time. Erick prefers Chrono Cross, which to me was a disappointing mess of a game. There is a huge cast of utterly forgettable and interchangeable characters, with no thought or development to them. Cross is also extremely easy, and can probably be beaten just by spamming regular attacks with no need for the convoluted skill system and field effects. The last bit of critique for now is the leveling system. In Cross you only gain a level after beating a boss, which in theory negates the need for grinding. The problem is, that makes regular battles pointless, and they just end up wasting your time. Also the game is so easy that level grinding wouldn't be necessary in the first place. Trigger is full of memorable moments, characters, development, and you feel like what you do matters, as it effects future time periods. Trigger has many endings depending on what stage you are at when you beat the game as well as what choices you've made throughout. The music is amazing, and the art design of the legendary Akira Toriyama stands out.

    Awesome Video man. I saw all my favorites!
    One game I think everyone slept on, and deserves an Honorable Mention is World of Final Fantasy. That game was nuts. Super deep "mirage leveling system" reminiscent of FFXs sphere grid. Kingdom Hearts level graphics, the implementation of past FF games was a love letter to longtime fans. The story was interesting and had decent (not amazing) character development. Along with grindy endgame dungeons, the pvp scene is pretty fun to do in the post game.
