ITT: Only the best RPGs

I reckon 2012. Xenoblade chronicles is on which was a 2012 na release. But no FE awakening or ni no kuni, which are early 2013.

>Most JRPGs aren't even RPGs to begin with.

The list is pretty strong. Trouble is, the list is fucking old. Or rather the games are old and there hasn't been much progress since then.

The exact opposite is true. Reddit calls everything with stats an RPG.

FE Awakening and No No Kuni we’re both mediocre at best. Ni No Kuni had literally nothing going for it aside the art style and music, and awakening is the most poorly balanced, least fun fire emblem game I’ve played.

You guys sure seem to know a lot about what people say on reddit. If I didn’t know better I’d think you frequented there or something.

It organized well, at least.

>Devil Survivor but no Strange Journey
not even a big JRPG guy but this sucks. who the fuck made this?

Devil Survivor 1 is generally a good time though. Strange Journey is kind of boring to me, as far as SMT goes.

Radiant Historia is boring as shit.

>>KH1 over KH2FM
It seems like if it's a series with a continuing story, the chart just goes to the first one? I can't imagine why it would recommend Trails in the Sky over SC or Ao no Kiseki otherwise.

Is Valkyria Chronicles really an RPG?

Numbers are going up. That was enough for nips to call things RPGs for a long time.

I don't remember the name of the game but it was a rpg that made a reviewer seethe when he died multiple times to a boss which prompted a trophy that says consult a FAQ already. Just for that alone it deserves the title of a great game.

Ys Oath in Felghana

honest question: is dragons dogma an jrpg?

WTF I thought V liked Dark Cloud 2...

>literally missing by far the best JRPG of all time Xenoblade 2
KILL YOURSELF!!! NOW

LeRedditor in self-denial detected.

Most of these j"rpg" aren't actually RPGs...

Add Dark Souls and Dragon Quest XI

>no Front Mission
I guess Square werent the only ones that forgot about the series

Of the list, I still need to play:
Dragon Quest 5
Final Fantasy 5
Lost Odyssey
Skies of Arcadia
SMT Devil Survivor
SMT Nocturne
Star Ocean 2
Star Ocean 3
Tactics Ogre
Tales of Abyss
Valkyrie Profile

Currently going through Suikoden 2. Redpill me Yas Forums. What JRPG is worth playing next?

Play Ar Tonelico.

Nocturne.
Your list isn't that great.
DQ and FF are very formulaic.
Lost Odyssey has this retarded gating level at the end of the first disc that will likely require restarting the game and building for.
Devil survivor was a pretty bad SMT.
I played Star Ocean: The Last Hope (4) and it had a rather weak story. Fight mechanics weren't that great either. I assume 2 and 3 are similar.
I probably wouldn't bother with Tactics Ogre if you've played FF tactics.
Valkyrie profile games have good story but the combat sucks. Covenant of the Plume was definitely the best one.

I've always wanted to get into non-Persona SMT games and SMT 5 is taking forever so Nocturne it is. Thanks user.

>Devil survivor was a pretty bad SMT.
What a bad take.

That's fucking normie RPGs, not best RPGs. Most people haven't even heard of the best RPGs. These are the ones that had ads on TV and magazines thanks to $$$ poured in marketing them and their consoles being popular as duck.

>OG Nier
>And not Nier Buttomata
Nice taste /vg/

>no breath of fire
>no azure dreams
This is why /vg/ is shit. They don't know anything.

lmao fuck off retard. JRPGs are fucking trash dumbed-down weeb shit for literal subhumans. Nonexistent plot, nonexistent characters, grindfest. And i played through a lot of them cause i didnt know better

>no eternal sonata
Not the best jrpg, but a amazing story

You forgot SMT Persona 5.

>reddit
But jrpgs are the quintessential reddit genre

It's not a horrible list, but a lot of it doesn't make sense. Why are so many FF games on there but no Kiseki games past FC? Why is Chrono Cross first spot? Why is P4 on their at all? Where are the Mana games? Where's Wild Arms 2? Why is whoever made this the kind of person that pretends TWEWY was good? Why is KH on there but not KH2?

Holy shit, I just realized that was missing. So is the entire .Hack series.

XB1 is fantastic. XB2 is trash.

I will never forget comrade.

Guess you didn't play 2.

oh no no no no

Actually I was thinking about 2 specifically.
Though 1 hasn't aged well.

>a list not afraid to put more than 3 FF games
choice
Putting in Golden Sun but not TLA is questionable and Wild Arms + Fire Emblem deserve at least SOME representation, but otherwise that is a fine fucking list right there. I can even forgive the inclusion of Symphonia

Star Ocean 3 is the best of those

most wrpg fans are subbed to rpg_gamers or just rpg
