now this whole list needs to be thrown out cause XC3 is too good imo. lol
Solid list guys! My own top 10 (not counting ports because it's more fun that way):
10. *Pokémon Legends Arceus*
9. *Shin Megami Tensei V*
8. *Bravely Default II*
7. *NEO: The World Ends With You*
6. *Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition*
5. *Triangle Strategy*
4. *Fire Emblem: Three Houses*
3. *Octopath Traveler*
2. *Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition*
1. *Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age - Definitive Edition*
Awesome list!
@@aidankhaos7687 I would argue a definitive edition with new content is not a port.
The best JRPG on the Switch is Xenoblade Chronicles 2 for me!
Monster Hunter Stories 2 is definitely one of best Switch RPGs to play hoping we get a 3rd entry eventually.
Yeah that game showed me that turn based system can still be completely epic. Just a shame that it wasn't a open world when you get flight
Best JRPG made for the switch HANDS DOWN is Octopath Traveler. Game is a literal MASTERPIECE and one of the best games i have played in my entire life. I put it up there with Suikoden 1 and 2
Yes! I totally agree with OPT
I love JRPGS I wish I had more time to play them
Same 🥲
Solid list of games. The Switch has so many games it's wild.
all Final Fantasy games, all Xenoblade Chronicles games, Dragon Quest XI, Chrono Cross, The World Ends With You 1 and 2, Bravely Default II, the Mana games, and the Team Asano games
Great picks!
I played Ys 8 multiple times and it has hands down one of the best stories in any JRPG, I even cried a bit at the true ending :')
Great taste my friend 👍
I haven't yet played Rune Factory 5, Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition, Monster Hunter Stories 2, Atelier Sophie 2, the Trials of Mana remake, or Dragon Quest XI but I agree about the others on the list.
My top 10 Switch JRPGs in no particular order would be the following: Shin Megami Tensei V, Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne HD Remaster, Phantasy Star IV (available as part of the Sega Genesis Classics collection), Ys VIII, Fire Emblem: Three Houses, Triangle Strategy, Langrisser I & II, Octopath Traveler, Grandia HD Collection, and the Sega Ages version of the original Phantasy Star available in the eShop.
Some honorable mentions would be Ys IX (this would definitely be in the top 10 if there were less technical issues with the port, I love the game itself just as much as Ys VIII), Ys Origin, Bravely Default II, Collection of Mana, Phantasy Star II, Shining Force, Shining Force II (all of these last 3 are also on the Sega Genesis Classics collection), and Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition.
Great list!
My favorite JRPGs on the Switch are The World Ends with You and its sequel.
Great list. Triangle Strategy is my game of the year so far. I loved that my choices really mattered and unlocking all the characters. Dragon Quest 11 is my favorite on Switch. It was so much fun livestreaming it with Miss Bubbles.
Thanks both of you for a great video. Every game on it is great.
Ys is criminally underrated still? I got into the series recently and VIII is just fantastic.
brooo i been playing Ys series non stop
What be good to also add in which of these games you can pick up without having played the prequels first.
Thank you for this amazing collab! Super happy to be here sharing my top picks with you 💜💜
And yeah, please like the video or I will SQUISH YOU.
Thank you so much for joining and bringing your bubbly energy 😁
Sorry you are way to sweet to be scary. Great choices. Thanks for this video.
@@Matthew7772005 awww thank you Matthew 🌸
That Triangle Strategy game looks dope
It's really great! If you're into strategy RPGs it's a must-play.
11:54 This pick warmed my heart.🥰
Seiken Densetsu 3 original is my favorite game to this day and its remake was very competent.
Trials of Mana is such an amazing game :D
The Switch has become the JRPG machine at this point & with Xenoblade 3 coming soon it'll be even better 🙏🏼
It really is amazing!
Yep, 10/10
Laughs in PS4/PS5
When you play at Fire Emblem permadeath is not for "people who don't want to lose characters" because nobody want it..
It's to have the full gameplay experience and find the best way to win without lost.
I have over half of these either on my backlog or wishlists between Switch and PS4.
Oh man, I really need to play a JRPG this year!
Top jrpg
1- xeno
2- monster hunter rise
3- monster hunter generations ultimate
I don't consider Monster Hunter games to be JRPGs or even RPGs with the exception of Monster Hunter Stories
Pretty good list but I would reverse most of the order. DQXI can stay at the top, but Ys VIII, DQ Stories 2, Xenoblade, and Rune Factory 5 need to be higher up the list.
Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is underrated af
Hate auto combat
Is it because every video like this has it on there list.
Sony has to get back in the handheld market because I feel like most JRPGs work so well on the go
I’d love that!
Lovely list. Hopefully Soul Hackers 2 and (non-Cloud) Kingdom Hearts ports make their way over soon.
Really awsome list! I've only played 5 of these so far but I'm familiar with all of them. I really want to play Triangle Strategy when I get the time because I very much love the demo. So far my top 10 JRPGs on switch would be:
1) Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition
2) Fire Emblem: Three Houses
3) Xenoblade Chronicles 2
4) Dragon Quest XI
5) Ys VIII
6) NEO: TWEWY
7) Shin Megami Tensei V
8) Monster Hunter Stories 2
9) Final Fantasy IX
10) Final Fantasy VII
There's a lot of other JRPGs that are coming to the platform so this list will probably change 😅
I am also late to this party but one of my favorite JRPGs of all time for the Nintendo Switch is Bravely Default 2. SquareEnix did a fantastic job with that game’s story, soundtrack, battle mechanics, and everything else. The switchable job class system contains 24 different classes and each party member can equip two; a main job and a sub job however, only the main job earns job points towards advancement. Even though battles are turn based, the boss battles felt like a game of chess as you had to carefully plan 3-5 moves ahead and it was so satisfying when you emerged victorious. I don’t usually pull all nighters for games but this one warranted the effort. If you ever make a part 2 to this video, I recommend having a look at Bravely Default 2 and hope you enjoy the game as much as I did.
My favourite Switch JRPGs are Fire Emblem Three Houses and Xenoblade Chronicles 2,
Don’t hurt me, miss Bubbles 😅
😈😈😈😈
Sorry it took me three weeks to notice this video! I love to see collabs with other people I follow. Nice work, both of you! My biggest challenge with JRPGs is their length. They can be such massive time sinks, and my gaming time is limited most of the time.
I'm sorry but everytime I see Ys 8 out in the wild I get a massive grin on my face! I played Ys 8 in the middle of 2020 and I honestly think it was integral to sustaining my sanity during the pandemic.
SUNSHINE COASTLINE IS A BANGER SONG AND I LEGIT BOOTED UP THE GAME JUST TO HEAR IT AGAIN
Hell yeah 🌞
The Miss Bubbles angey photo was a blast! Loooool. Amazing video from two of my favortie RUclipsrs 🤩
Aw thank you!
Thank youuu 🌸
A great solid list! I have to say that Bravely Default II exceeded my expectations in terms of gameplay, but playing Bug Fables: Everlasting Sapling was really nice to play on the Switch for the first time.
This may not be the place to ask, and I apologize for that, but it is okay to play Monster Hunter Stories 2 first for someone who has never played Monster Hunter before?
Absolutely! The stories don’t really connect as far as I know. You could go into MHS2 fresh no problem
@@TheGamingShelf Thank you for answering my question and for the heart!
Yea , I still havent played a monster hunter game, monster hunter stories 2 was amazingggg
Nice vid! My personal top 5 would be
5: Triangle Strategy
4: Fire Emblem Three Houses
3: Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition
2: Xenoblade Chronicles 2
1: Octopath Traveler
I'm actuallynot sure yet which Xenoblade I like more tbh but definitely in my top 5. I definitely gotta play an atelier game and Dragon Quest XI. Still JRPGs I need to touch. Switch really is the JRPG machine
Great picks! What about Octopath had you put it at #1?
@@TheGamingShelf
It’s one I had an amazing experience with when I first played. Everything just felt good from the sprites the music and going through the menus. It’s a game I honestly feel nostalgia for.
Tales Of Vesperia....Xenoblade Chronicles 2....Dragon Quest 11....Ni No Kuni....Xenoblade Chronicles ....Ys 8
Great video and great games indeed. My favourite JRPGs on Switch have to be Bravely Default II, Xenoblade and Octopath. BD and Octopath have set such high standards in turn based gameplay that it's hard for me to imagine it any differently nowadays.
Finally, I beat Xenoblade for the first time last week and it has quickly become one of my favourite games of all time. I knew it was a good game, but it went well beyond my expectations. Loved the story, character development and its twist and turns.
For the future, I really hope we'll get the strategy jrpg we deserve after Triangle Strategy (FFTactics please!).
Great picks! And yes more Tactics please :D
I own all but 2 of those listed, heh. Though some are still in my backlog. Waiting for better sales on Triangle Strategy and Ys.
finally a new video! , it's super cool and mega excellent list
🥳
Octopath traveler 1 is imho the best JRPG 🫶🏼
Bravely Default 2 definitely deserves a spot
Great game!
Xenoblade series!
Great picks! These are all pretty solid games!
The. Switch has so many great JRPGs it’s hard to go wrong 😄
My favorite is a tie between legends Arceus and Neo The world Ends With you
NEO TWEWY is great! I still need to finish it.
Thumbed up just cuz the first 3 seconds were already pretty funny
I'm just starting on Rune Factory 4, so far I like it, I'l probably get RF 5 later. Xenoblade Chronicles DE is an awesome game, there's just so much to do, the second one isn't that bad either. Monster Hunter Stories 2 is on my list after playing the first one on the 3DS. Ys VIII I have the physical release and love the game, it looks even better on the OLED Switch. The Atelier series are fun games, I started with the Mysterious Trilogy Deluxe pack. Trials of Mana is fun I agree. DQ XI is good I just cant stand Sylvando, that whole part where you make people smile annoyed the crap outta me, just way to over the top for me. My main complaint though with Switch games in hand held mode is the text can be way too small even with 2.0 reading glasses! I still love my Switches though.
Great video from both of u, xenoblade chronicles one of my favorites and trials of mana...I subscribed to ms bubbles channel also ✌
Thank you 🥳💜
@@MissBubbles no problem 😊
Such a great video! Hopefully Miss Bubbles can try a few of these out to get more familiar with the turn based genre 😊
Great list!
I don't play too many JRPGS on switch if they are also on other system but I would say The World ends with you final remix would be up there for me, took a fun DS game and made it even more interesting (even added a tiny bit more content.... not a 10 years wait amount of content but that is on me for getting hyped.)
Also, to no ones surprise. Tokyo Mirage Session # FE Encore on switch is amazing, more content more songs and just takes a criminally underrated game and makes it that much better
Also Three heroes is good but I still need to completely the other stories~
Great video and love the collab with Miss Bubbles! keep up the great work!
Aw yeah Tokyo Mirage Sessions! Such a gem 😄
Great list, i will also add in smtv & arceus.
Great list! Just wrapped up DQXIS this morning, well worth the recommendation! ♥️
My top Nintendo JRGS hmmm 🤔
1. Fire Emblem Three Houses (probably my fav Switch game overall)
2. Pokemon Legends Arceus (wait no pokemon on this list 😮)
3. DragonQuest XIS (JRPG equivalent of a shone jump anime!)
Akira toriyama was involved with dragon quest so that adds to the shonen vibe
Missing one the best: Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE Encore. I’d also add Chrono Cross, Tales of Vesperia, Pokémon Legends Arceus, Xenoblade Chronicles 2, FF XII, and Grandia HD.
I am too late for the party....
to be honest this is such great collab and I can't agree more about these recommendations !
It’s never too late! I’m glad you enjoyed the collab 😄
Currently playing and loving Star Ocean Second Evolution Remastered
great picks guys. I'm definitely enjoying rune factory 5 and don't want it to end. i beat ys 8 on switch and it was great , i may do a new game plus.
Which there was one where I can create my own character…
Tactics ogre GBA.😍 Triangle strategy. Ah the nostalgia...😌😌
*oh my god* the fact ive bought and played all these games already (except I have Y's 9 and Atelier ryza instead) .... *I need help*
Haha or you just know your JRPGs ;)
whew, i just about in the market for more games! thanks!
Perfect 🤩
0:15 dont god damn threaten me!
Definitely going to checkout Triangle Strategy and Monster Hunter
Do it!
I disagree with Triangle Strategy. Its a beautiful game and well thought out with one exception. There is way to much dialogue and cutscenes in comparison to actual battles. It needed to triple if not quadruple the amount of battles that occurred throughout the game. It was more like a visual novel with the odd element of gameplay thrown in.
That guy top 5 is not bad. All his 5 games are on my top 10.
Rune factory is one of my favorite series especially rf4 special and rf5. I also love nino kuni wrath of the white witch and the atelier series.
All great choices!
Night of Azure 2 is awesome.
permideath on three houses almost killed me. .. to the point were I didn't want to go into battles ahhahah .. didn't wanna lose any of the homies. ya know ? ahah. great list 👌
why the hell would u even play 3 houses with permadeath?? thats just for masochists.
play on casual-Hard.. best way to play 3 houses.
normal is too easy and maddening is extremely hard..
Playing hard games is not a luxury. It's a worthwhile challenge, for those who wish to engage their reflexes and wit.
Nothing more. Nothing less.
Great list! I would just add Shin Megami Tensei V, Bravely Default 2 and Trails of Cold Steel 3 and 4 to make an even better list!
Good call!
Rune Factory 5 been legit and XBC2+3, disgea is decent too
How is Shin Megani Tensei 5 not on the list?
Sophie>ryza? Never Played one, which is better for younger childs?
Sophie probably. They're both relatively easy JRPGs so they're good entry points.
@@TheGamingShelf thank you!
Enjoying dragon quest. Didn't know have diff clothes
You have to build them at the forge I believe.
This was a GREAT video. Great recs guys. I might pick some of these up. Especially with some being on sale but please and I can’t stress this enough.. time stamps please! 😄
what do you mean by slea? also are there any turned based like the FF or DQ games. that of turned based are the only ones i can play do the my disability
My favourite ones are xenoblade chronicles 1 and 3( 2 is just good but worse in my opinion), fire emblem three houses, shin megami tensei v.
My favorit JRPG so far is Fuga Melodies of steal. I finished it 7 times alrady and I dont own it fore that long.
Oh wow nice! What did you enjoy about it?
@@TheGamingShelf It has the best turn based combat I experienced so far. Totally blows the combat of Persona 5(have not played the Royal btw) and Final Fantasy X and Fantasy IX out of the water.
The story and characters clicked really well with me personaly.
And I love the music.It has some great vocal tracks. I listen to those every day. "Flower on the Trail" is my favorite Videogame boss theme so far.
When it comes to characters I must say the series of shorts the creators released on RUclips also helped with me getting attached to these characters.
My fave type of graphics
Love her accent. ^__^
Thank you 🥺
Waiting for an update after the persona is released on the switch 😆
Monster Hunter Rise over Stories all Dayyyy 😊
I hate openworld.
Xenoblade Chronicles is my favorite
Wow so much good rpg in switch😊
I ain't gon lie... Xenoblade's story and characters bored DF outta me and that hurts because Xenogears is my favorite RPG story wise of all time.
Oops my like made it 421...... Oh well you deserved the like
Haha thank you, I’ll take it!
Shin Megami Tensei V should definitely be here.
Good game but neither me or Bubbles really vibed with it.
I remember that YS 8 game being really disliked but it is interesting know it's liked by others.
Disliked by whom? I feel like the game as a whole receives impressively low criticism. Perhaps you're thinking of the low-quality ports? The Steam version was terrible for a while, and I think one of the handheld versions was also less than stellar.
@@BlueGrovyle
Just by hardcore YS fans or something.
Probably for the localization at launch. Thankfully they fixed it.
Idk abt dragon quest 11, I told myself I have to compete a game fist b4 play another because I too many back game and I been on dragon quest for last year just cuz I have no motivation to play it
No SMT5?
Blasphemy!
Great game, just not for me.
@@TheGamingShelf I saw. Still, id objectively place it in the top 5 on the list.
Funny I didn't Saw Shin Megami Tensei V on this list.
Very sus.
Oh no 👀
monster hunter stories 2? hm? is it important to play to first one?
Triangle amazing, 3 houses had annoying school nonsense.. now tempted on xbc3 but didn't go for xbc2 as the reviews were a bit off and grind game
Three houses, you can easily skip the school nonsense once you have gathered the team you want. But I agree without the school the game could have been so much better.
I thought you quit RUclips
Nope! Work just got really busy then I got COVID :P
@@TheGamingShelf Ohhh! Recover soon😃
Shin megami tensei 5 is the best
Valkyria Chronicles IV
Also a fantastic game!
Good luck
Xenoblade is fun
hard disagree on Trials of mana, playing it now, the action combat is clunky and not rewarding at all, maybe i'm am just ruined after playing a ton of monster hunter.
People say “one of the best ____” about every other game . Such a broad statement when there are like 40 other jrpgs of this decade that are referred to as “one of the best.” It would really be more specific at this point to say “one of the worst.” then there’s “probably one of the most underrated” lol cringe
I could never get into games like FE or Disgea. Just not my cup of coffee.
No love for shin megami tensei 5? Damn lol
I recognize it's a good game but just not my jam.
Octopath Traveller beat Fire Emblem, Ys and Xenoblade? Lol ok
Just my personal opinion, not facts :)
Octopath is good until you realize it's the same structure, 8 times 4.... It got old really quick.
@@erwinekkel9676 what a dumb comment… you didn’t understand the whole package of OPT
