Great video OJ, I haven’t seen you on my timeline for a while, and here you are with a banger!
Great video! I have some new things to pick up now!
I'm excited for this one, thanks man.
Great video, wow the switch's jprg library is insane. So many top notch games
Awesome video. Looking forward to see your GOTY list.
Bro the game timeline descriptions are absolutely perfect. Laughed out loud quite a few times. Thighza had me rollin.
Phenomenal video a few standouts missing but mostly classic ports and hopefully we get a top 15-20 rpg ports who knows lol.
Great video, love the switch rpg lineup and recently played through baten kaitos 1/2, last remnant/grandia remasters, and fairy fencer f
Cant wait for mario rpg remake next month and dragon quest monsters dark prince
Amazing list! I find it satisfying that I own quite a few of the games on this list. I'm currently about to start playing Fire Emblem Engage. Seems like a great journey ahead!
What were the games shown in the beginning before the countdown?
this is the video i've been waiting for - i have the same taste in games as you so really appreciate recommendations!
Thank you for this list. It really helps me alot to decide buying a switch as i thought there isnt that much rpg on this console but i was wrong. keep on creating rpg list. thank you and kudos!
thansk so much this is great! Haven/t played any of these games before.
Thanks for watching and commenting man!
A very good list for those new to JRPG and switch
can you play xenoblade 3 even when you havent played other xenoblade? or do you suggest an order to play them.
These are my favorite style of videos that’s you do
Great ranking. I love many games you mentioned.
Xenoblade 1, 2, 3, SMTV and Astral Chain are my top favorites.
Monster Hunter Rise, MH Stories 2, Atelier Ryza series are very good aswell.
I loved Monster Hunter Stories, one of my favorites!
8
Valkyria Chronicles II was released for the PSP in the West. However, III was never localized like you said.
Nice list! Would have put P5 number one though like the channel you got a subscription
Thanks for the sub!
am new to Switch, and love these kind of videos, thank you for making these
This the type of content I like too see you make💯
Not much new here, lots of brilliant games in the list as always
That chapter describtions got me I am laughing haha. I love how you did it, especially the " Edelgard was wrong" title. As Fire Emblem three houses was my first switch game I bought switch for and I have played around 400 hours so far. Going for another playtrough sometimes this year, just hearing the music makes me want to cry...
I am The Legend of Heroes addict but damn they are long. 70 hours in ToCS 3 and I begun chapter 4. 100 hours easily every game no kidding.
Currently working with gf abroad for 6 months and took switch with me. Got lot of games that were on my backlog for a long time I bought physical, but never got to play them (thanks to pc online games mostly) so now I have so many options available and your list helped me sort it out.. well sort of. lol Xenoblede 1, 2, Torna and 3 (never played before), Persona 5 (ps5 version didnt hook me, so handheld will probably be more comfy for evenings), Astral Chain, Nier Automata, Octopath Traveler 2 and SMT5. Currently getting trough ToCS3 as well as Xenoblade chronicles 1 (when cold steel 10 hours of dialogue is too much for me).
Great content I love it!
Persona 5 and Astral Chain are both absolutely phenomenal. Coincidentally, I played them for the first time back to back and I just couldn’t believe how much I enjoyed them. You’re in for a treat 😁
Edelgard was not wrong though
@@badmeetsevil6163 alternative title: "Kill every last one of them!" haha its the universal answer to anything happening in the series. Cant go wrong with that describtion of the game.
Thank you! Altho Astral chain I saw is like 20hours of action, but Persona is gonna be like 70? ish? So maybe I am better off starting with this, or do one Platinum game, that being either Nier or Astral chain, follow it up with 70-100hrs long jrpg or swap between them based on mood, and then finish off with another Platinum game that I didnt play at first. @@worldsboss
@@Aizengale Persona 5 Royal took me around 120 hours, and I know that sounds incredibly intimidating, but I don’t regret a second of it. It took me a few months to actually roll credits on it, but you could probably play both at the same time and still be ok.
I liked the way you named timestamps 😅
The way you talk about these games really makes me enthusiastic to play them. I own but not yet played Live a Live, XC DE, XC3, DQ XI S, P5R, Ni No Kuni, and a few others. I own and played BotW and started TotK, but now I am into Nier Automata. I definitely want to buy XC2 and Astral Chain now too. Thanks for your awesome and honest review. Cheers!
MHSR looks amazing on the Switch indeed, really smooth.
After seeing it on pc and ps5, the switch is the worst place to play it by far
25:11 Pokémon has always had a compelling single player they always prioritize their lore it’s very detailed
All games are very good. Thank you so much!
I can't resist to click this video because of the thumbnail😅 love both of these characters
Sick thumbnail, OJ 👍🏼 someone should make a really cool fan art of the Nahobino and Pyra, and not one of THOSE fanarts lol
Great list, Nintendo Switch is my favorite way to play JRPG.
can I have the games listed please so I can reference them?
I really love that Xeno 3 is on the first spot, my God that game is a masterpiece, it's my favorite game ever
OT 2 has one of the most beautiful HD2D graphics.
How is Ys Viii Lacrimosa of Dana not on your list?
Im still trying to find that one switch game with blue menues and it shows the the party together i think 3 or so very artsy and there was a witch character too
I know it's a good list when I see Xenoblade and Persona on the top. The GOATS of modern JRPGS.
Astral chains has very similar ties to chaos legion from the ps2 era. The sword, arrow, fist legion etc.
Can you do a meh & mid 25 JRPGS thx ☺️
Xenoblade 3, octopath traveler 2, fire emblem engage, triangle strategy,shin megami tensei v, fire emblem three houses in that order lol
I hope they make a physical for Sea of Stars, and Chained echoes while waiting for eiyuden chronicles.
Monster Hunter Rise is one of my favorite games on the Switch. Sunbreak was definitely worth the jump. *still watching*
Neo the world ends with you is such a based pick, you deserve a like just for that
I would love to play Atelier Ryza 3 but I honestly do not think I now have the time to play the first two before.
Thats my problem with JRPGS can be unnecessarily long wanted to play Persona ever since i was young and now that im an adult and own the console , man i had to drop P5 an hour in because of the excessive needlessly long dialogue and diversions.
Looked it up and was right its handholding tutorial stops at around 20 hours in which is crazy and on average need 120 hours to complete.
Its really tough as an adult with not so much free time.
Tried to look into shorter series established series and most of them have a bunch of previously release iterations that you need to go through to catch up.
I already knew Xc3 was gonna be number 1 before I watched this 😂 good video
The only thing they might throw people off in his Top 5 is remembering that he thinks Astral Chain is an RPG.
@@bethanyh1637 how do you define an RPG? IMHO:
1. Is there a Level up system with STATS increase.
2. Do you have HP, MP or SP?
3. Do you have some kind of skill tree or any other grow system?
4. Is it Story heavy?
5. Can you explore the world?
6. Any craft system?
7. Any shops to buy items?
I did not play Astral Chain, but if all above is answered with a Yes, Astral Chain is an RPG.
@@aaron6493 With those rules, Call of Duty is an RPG.
@@bethanyh1637 I have never played Call of Duty but I really doubt that CoD will get a YES on ALL the 7 questions.
@@bethanyh1637you tried it
SOLID LIST. Couldn't agree more!
If he thinks SMT5 is hard then I'd LOVE to hear him talk about SMT3
Imo, there are a few other games that deserve a spot here, like Tales of Vesperia DE, Ni No Kuni 1 and 2, Bravely Default II, Ys VIII and IX, Fate Samurai Remnant, Rune Factory 5, Trials of Mana. Otherwise, great and almost complete list.
You can beat the trails games relatively quick if you use the turbo button
Man I dunno there's more than 10 games
@@athorem and? All are good to amazing
@@obba40 I don't doubt it. I'm making the way through the series myself. It's good but it's taking a very long time even with a speed up button
@@athorem not a problem imo. I don't see the issue worrying about that
NEO is so slept on
i recommend cyber sleuth complete edition aswell. its two games in one and goes on sale all the time.
Watching this makes me realise how many great exclusive RPGs released on this damn system lol. Astral Chain, Xenoblade 3, Triangle Strategy, FETH, MH Rise+Sunbreak, SMT V etc., stone cold classics.
It’s even crazier to think that it will get even better on the Switch 2, what with stronger hardware and more devs that will take the system seriously from the beginning (looking at you Atlus 🙄).
1# XC2 + Torna is the correct answer
Great list still I miss Front Mission Remake, Undertale and TWEWY 2. My personal favorites are SMTV, MHS2 and FE3H... and Xenoblade 3 Future Redeemed if that counts.
I know some are angry but I also know there will always be disagreement, I am happy to see 2 trails games on the list.
well this is interesting, especially the #1 on this list.
Tactics Ogre: Reborn deserved a place, it's better than Triangle Strategy. Fantastic story and top tier tactical gameplay.
Reminds me to play both of them again...
Yea, but at least Triangle Strategy is new.
I think the list omitted ports for a reason. If it didn't, stuff like Ni No Kuni, Tales of Vesperia, Grandia 1/2, FFVII and FF IX would dominate the list. These all got physical releases too.
23 Games in my collection 😊
Something very small and unique about JRPG SKIES OF ARCADIA is that the main character has 2 girls who like and travel with him and romance is not even the main genre of the game.
AND ALSO ITS NOT SOMETHING STUPID WHERE YOU HAVE TO CHOOSE 1 OR THE OTHER
MHS 2 runs amazing on Switch (lite).
I'm a big fan of Xenogears and Xenosaga, so now I'm trying out Xenoblade Chronicles, seeing what it's like.
I'm starting with the third game, which people say is the best, but I also have the first one.
I also really love ff12 zodiac age but I'm its a ps2 game remastered so probably doesnt could but that is soo good to play on switch. Also smt3 nocturne
Excelent.
Yes! Thank you for showing astral chain😊. I don’t see many talk about this game 🥹
"the new goat"
You're goddamn right
I am interested in or have played 10 out of these 25 JRPG's
Make a space for Astlibra Revision.
Is JRPG a Style of RPG?
A Japanese style
"Edelgard was Wrong" omg THANK YOU
Another banger
It is truly a pitty that Fate Samurai Remnant is THE best RPG out there on the Switch and it's not getting all the fuzz it deserves. I have clocked so far 40+ hrs in this game so I can give a solid opinion on how good this game is.
It's a very good RPG for sure, but far from the best on Switch with the likes of SMTV, Xenoblade 3, FE Three Houses and Dragon Quest XI S available on the platform.
@@Murasakitsuyukusa it's all about preferences, no game has hooked me like Fate Samurai, the more I play the better it gets, both in the mechanics and the story. Because I am playing on the highest difficulty it is a true challenge some boss battles are really tough on hard mode and with every win is a great sense of satisfaction. IMHO is deserves a seat in the top 5 at least. I played all the games you mentioned except SMT V, DQ XI feels like a kid's game, the monster designs can hardly be taken serious.
@@aaron6493 Fate Samurai Remnant is mid, not lower because Gilgamesh is there but also NOT higher than mid because he ISNT playable.
@@ludwigkoopa3343 he will probably be in upcoming expansions so I am fine with that.
my all time favorite jrpg series is the Tales Of Series. but Xenoblade has become my #2 . well its pretty close with Xenoblade and Dragon Quest. however for me Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is my favorite of the series thus far . i love all 4 games but XB2 just holds a special place for me .
Best action RPG OJ, Fate Samurai Remnant.
Id like to add an Honorable Mention to this list in the form of Star Ocean: The Second Story R who couldn,t make it to this list because it releases tonight as of writing this comment
Fire emblem engage is a great game
I don’t know about you but the main characters on Neo World Ends with You are DU-umb to the tenth power. Like… wuuuh??? 😂
Xenoblade 3 is phenomenal i actually respect it as number 1.
But for me my list is
1.persona 5
2. Nier automata
3. Dragon quest 11
4. Xenoblade 3
5. Fire emblem three houses
6. Monster hunter rise
7. Xenoblade 2
8. Smt5
9. Octopath traveller
10. Dragon quest builders 2
In my opinion Dragon Quest XI S is the best jrpg on Switch. Its just that good.
Early contender!
great list!
Story
Overworld Section
Battle phase
Charaters
Once Atlus releases a mainline SMT game with actually good story, characters, and alignments, SMT V is going to be forgotten so quickly. People will struggle to remember anything about it other than "It's the one with the femboy protagonist and uhhhh.... deserts."
People value different things in these games, for me personally story is near the bottom of that list.
@@anab0licRegardless, when a franchise's claim to fame is the alignment system, you'd think they'd put more effort into that system than just making it a Mass Effect 3 style 'choose your ending'
Same Here. Playing Smt4 and 3, I think five was just lackluster. Something about 5 has the inspiration of smt3 nocturne but fails to capture the spirit of 3 nocturne and world-building of 4.
@@protagnist5622 Well said.
@@athorem Is that really its 'claim to fame' though? For me these games are mostly about the combat mechanics/demon fusion/party customization. That's why this game is often referred to as 'Pokémon for adults.'
“edelgard was wrong” VILE💀💀💀
25:11 The franchise has always been innovating and changing things up so I wouldn’t say predictable
Predictability isn’t the samething as tradition
They have always experimented with new concepts and mechanics
Like breeding,natures,abilities, following pokemon, overworld encounters, physical special split, mega evolution,Zmoves, gigantamax/dynamax amie/refresh/camping, even motion controls from let’s go do these features not count as evolving/progressing are these things not ambitious?
The restructuring of the traditional Pokémon format by having the third legendary as the main focus not to mention being the first Pokémon games ever to do DLC and the regional evolutions
Also the various QoL stuff even having dynamax and gigantamax and you would not have SV without the wild area all of these new ideas and things for the franchise
Are these not ambitious
I mean all these things have changed the franchise in substantial ways
Every generation offers something ambitious is replacing gyms with trials not ambitious? Or making the galar league a tournament like the anime instead of a traditional elite four is that not ambitious
Sure none of them have ever been this super drastic
But to say it’s “finally evolving” is a bit disingenuous
Has the steps in previous games been a bit smaller I mean sure
But baby steps and even medium steps is still progression
Why do we count this and not those
Shouldn’t it all count?
Some of these things maybe temporary but they are still creative and ambitious and drastically change the course of the franchise so they count
don’t think you actually expect someone will read this lol 😂😂
There are only two endings to Sea of Stars. You keep acting lile there are several. You can find secret "developer" room, if you want to count that as a third, but it's not a true ending of the game.
Just because a game is made by a Japanese developer does not mean its a JRPG (Nier Automata and Monster Hunter Rise)
chained echoes number 1
SMTV was So Good, I almost left my wife for it. I regret that I didn't.
Thanks for the xenoblade 3 spoilers
a new list... three days before Star Ocean 2 R....
Cold steel 3 has a good pacing? Funny
No Ni no Kuni ? No Final Fantasy VI ? No Tales of Symphonia? No YsVIII ? No Trials of Mana? If ports are disqualified, why is Valkyria Chronicle 1 and The World Ends with You on your list? (Although I agree that Valkyria Chronicles 1 should be on your list, it's a phenomenal game.)
Your comment is a great example of why Neo The World Ends With You was a truly awful name from a marketing perspective. This isn’t the game that originally launched for the DS, this is the newer sequel that came out for Switch and PS4 in 2021. They look exactly the same in trailers though, so I do get it.
Don't forget Tales of Vesperia and Ni No Kuni 2

You gamers y’all just love to complain don’t you?
This is OJ’s PERSONAL top choice of JRPG games on the Switch! And they’re just 25 of them in the title at that. Not EVERY RPG that you like has to be exactly what HE likes, let alone be on the top 25 list!
Also how dare you put the Xenoblade Chronicles series in the category of BASIC!
Your list is very basic and most of those game would have been considered a action adventure game back in the day.
That tales of games don't belongs on no list when you remaster a game and Break it.
Nier Automata is the best game ever made IMHO. I wouldn't consider it an RPG though.
WHAAT LONG VIDDDD
Great list OJ, the Switch is a proper haven for quality RPG's.
no fsr huh damn and here i thought it was decent enough to be played by people who doesn't know fate series
SmtIV was 5x harder than V
(also 5x better than V)
So what?
xenoblade nr.1
Monster hunter rise is not a jrpg...just becuase a game is made in Japan doesn't make it a jrpg. Its an action game with rpg elements like Zelda.
Some are PC Games.
I can’t believe how badly you still care about graphics when that’s not the focus of the game
They prefer to prioritize worldbuilding and lore over something so shallow and superficial
Their research and lore that goes into the franchise is actually high quality and very well thought out lore is more important to than graphics and performance they know where their priorities are and that’s smart so it’s not that they need to change it’s that you just don’t understand what they’re going for and who they’re appealing too and what makes the franchise special to begin with
Lore is their priority
I know that the game isn’t perfect and that there’s issues
Pokémon is a franchise where the theme is friendship is magic and meeting cute and cool unique monsters
What the hell does graphics and performance have to do with those things?
Nothing if you wanna criticize a franchise criticize it on whether or not it delivered on the messages and themes it promised
Was friendship magic?
Did you meet cute and cool unique creatures?
Ok then it’s a good game
Those are what’s important to Pokémon
As the og theme said
Pokémon is about
Oh your my best friend in a world we must defend
I will travel across the land searching far and wide each pokemon to understand the power that’s inside
Our hearts so true our courage will pull us through
you teach me and I teach you”
That’s what it is about and that’s what it will always be about and if that’s what it continues to be about until the end
Then that’s a strong enough ending for me
Not sure what graphics and animation and performance has to do with that
Performance graphics those things never Mattered
You have to remember pokemon games have only been 3D since 2013 that’s pretty recent compared to other games like Zelda that have been 3D since the 90s and early 2000s so obviously they’re gonna be behind Mixed with the fact that They can’t delay the game because main console for only 5 years compared to Zelda since n64
The franchise was designed so that every aspect of it has a symbiotic relationship
The games can’t release without the anime the merch and the manga and the manga the merch and the anime can’t release without the games
And it’s about time you all understand that by now
They are doing their best trying to balance the games with the tcg and the anime
The Pokémon franchise is like a game of jenga
If you move one thing it all falls apart
They are doing the best they can sorry I’m the only one who appreciates that
Unless you want them to hypothetically release the Gen 10 anime and then wait till the anime gets to Gen 15 to release the Gen 10 games
they are still learning as they go so y’all gotta be patient and give them time to catch up
Their partnership with take two they’ll apply what they learn back into Pokémon so that’s good
You have to remember gamefreak are inexperienced with developing open world games so of course there will be some trial and error the more they work on and improve the game and do future games the better at it they’ll get
Rome wasn’t built in a day we need to be patient
Assuming we get more open world games
NOT TO MENTION ScarVi’s development was probably screwed up by the pandemic
Probably turned it upside down
And before u say just delay the game
They can’t delay the game
The franchise was designed so that every aspect of it has a symbiotic relationship

They choose to live in their own bubble and be one of a kind and not imitate what everyone else does and they have my respect for that
