    Not sure if someone has already mentioned it, but Magna Carta: Tears of Blood wasn't here, even though it's a turn-based RPG. However, that is a Korean game. This list was about Japanese games.

    The Ar tonelico series definitely is my favorite example of a JRPG that doesn't need to be difficult to be good. Apparently the lore came from a tabletop campaign the series creator ran back in like 2000, and he liked it enough to make it into a game.

    the first level is on a ship and the first monster is if i remember correctly giant tentacle, then suddenly 3 protagonist are warp back to the past in a deserted island
    3 protagonist = 1 magic sensei/teacher, 1 girl thats like the first apprentice, and 1 boy
    and then there is a playable character more like side character a boy that plays a flute
    the game is based on magical world and the enemy are all monster
    thats what i remember, i vaguely remember the sensei wears a blue clothes and a red headband and thats it

    *Alternative title: One of the best console generations for JRPGs period.*
    The PS4 was a pretty damn good resurgence but it wasn't quite the deserved return to form/comeback that the PS1/PS2 era of games pretty much defined.
    God fucking damnit. I wish my fuckin PS2 slim still worked. The bloody laser that reads the discs apparently died on me and something inside was scratching the discs so a bunch of my beloved PS1/PS2 that I used to play religiously back during my childhood is just collecting dust now and it FUCKIN SUCKS. So many games and JRPGs that I still have yet to play are on this system alone and it makes me depressed thinking about it now. I want to probably purchase a second-hand one from either Ebay but they're either so damn expensive or I can't find any decent, old-school game retailers that still sell classic PS2 games in general.
    Eh, I'll still be on the lookout for any functional versions in the future so we'll see. Either way, great complete lists of some of the best JRPGs to come out throughout the past decades.

    • @TheFunnyWeasel1
      @TheFunnyWeasel1 11 місяців тому

      This is because the PS3 introduced HD realistic graphics but at the exact same time, it cost a lot of money, time, and resources to develop these games.
      There was not a lot of chances to have experimental games. The ones who succeeded were the ones that have been doing this since the PS1 era.
      Square Enix came out with Final Fantasy 13 and straight up made two sequels to that game. They didn't even bother to make a mainline game after 13. They just returned to the area of Final Fantasy 13 and build off there.

      @@totallynotthebio-lizard7631 The people who developed the Wild Arms series came out with Wild Arms 3, 4, & 5.
      But when the PS3 came around and it got turned out that producing high quality, high definition games that contained bigger detailed worlds required a higher amount of effort, time, resources, money, and labor-power, it was blatantly obvious that reputable small-time developers didn't have it in them to continue soldiering on. And as a result, they have quietly withdrew.
      There's a reason why the PS2 had a massive library compared towards the PS3 when it came to the JRPGs. Sony gave out the signal of "you can make anything as long as the gamers (like you & me) enjoyed it".

    I have played Atelier Iris: Eternal Mana the same it released: 2005 up to 2006.
    I don't like the Sphere Grid System from Final Fantasy X. 😑
