Keep in mind that I’d your favorites aren’t on this list, they may show up later on the PS5 or Switch lists, I wanted to make sure there’s no overlap ❤❤❤
Dana in a thumbnail always makes me click a video! Great list, nice to see some DQ Heroes love! The Crossbell arc is definitely the best Trails offers, plus Noel being one of my favorite party members!
Love this idea. Can't wait to see the other parts, and this one has just begun. Always just awesome to see videos like this drop, get ideas for stuff I may have overlooked or just to keep an eye out for them more then I have. Tales of Vesperia and DQ XI I own, still have to get to them though. Have never played a Ys or Trails game before, but have been exposed to Trails (and to a lesser extent Ys) through a friend streaming. I feel I've played a game in the Mana series when I was a kid, but I truly don't remember clearly enough to say, so might be the time to pick it up and go through it. I've dabbled in some Atelier games, have picked up Iris 2 & 3 (still need to get the 1st though) and have a few of the Ps3 ones, what i've played is fun, but haven't dove into it as much as I feel I should - plan on fixing that soon enough though. I was wondering when Ni No Kuni was going to show up lol. I played it for a decent amount on PS3, need to finish it up though. I heard of Studio Ghibli prior to Ni No Kuni, and thats actually what drew me in. I have the Remaster and the Sequel for Ps4, and plan on going through them soon as well, the backlog truly is a problem lol. I've heard so much good about Star Ocean, although I've only played Star Ocean Till The End of Time on Ps2, but did enjoy my time with the game. The Heroes series seems really cool, although as someone who grew up playing Turn Based, I def take a while to get into the ARPG, least if they came from a Turn based series. A Live A Live I've heard so much praise for but never got into it back in the day, well never had the interest back then, but maybe it time to change and amend that. Fantastic List for sure. Only Games that come to mind for me, and this is just personally from enjoying them would be: Dark Cloud 1 & 2, Digimon Story Cyber Slueth and CS Hackers Memory, Digimon World Next Order (may not be a JRPG and more of a RPG, but still felt to say). Another absolute incredible video. Cheers to you and your family, may you all have a fantastic day.
Alliance Alive was such a pleasant surprise for me. I hadn't heard of it before the remaster, and it was just so good! Well worth a purchase. Now I'm looking forward to the Legend of Legacy remaster as well
I loved The World Ends With You on the DS, and the NEO one is underated as hell, with cool battles and a very stylish world and characters. Persona is great, but few people mention Strikers, which is very similar to DQ Heroes 2 (own both and love them to death). Great list, by the way. Played a few of them, and the rest are currently downloaded on my PS4 waiting for their turn. Backlogs are dreadful!
I'm surprised you didn't know about Studio Ghbli before Ni No Kuni. Spirited Away won an Oscar in 2002 up against 2 Disney movies. One of them being Lili and Stich, which Sprited Away even made more at the box office than.
I don’t really watch movies in general, and when I was 20 I wasn’t watching animated movies, I was grappling with coming out, getting kicked out and trying to work 3 jobs to support myself.
If you haven't checked them out yet Studio Ghibli definitely has some amazing movies. Princess Mononoke, Kiki's Delivery Service, & Grave of the Fireflies would probably be my top 3 suggestions. Be warned that Grave of the Firelies can be a really depressing movie though, but I think it really is a masterpiece.
Of these, I've played Dragon quest 11, Nino Kuni, Trials of Mana, Alliance alive. I would rank those four below average to so-so. If it weren't for Persona and Yakuza, I would have completely lost hope in the future of JRPGs.
"No harem antics in Trails to Azure." What? There are literally multiple girls who are implied to have a crush on Lloyd Bannings including maybe even his older sister figure. If you take Cecile to the fortune teller and she asks about Lloyd's future wife, she says there are so many suitors that she couldn't possibly pinpoint who it might be. Heck, Trails to Azure literally has a "beach episode" (which is VERY prominent in most harem anime) in the Intermission of the game before the main plot with Crossbell's Independence. Even many of the events that take place during that intermission involves Lloyd falling into the antics of a harem MC such as applying sunscreen on the girls. (The side mission of the monster removing a female character's swimsuit anyone?) There are statements of accusing Lloyd of being a playboy despite just being nice and having good manners involving every girl he meets. This is also right out of a playbook of a harem anime. Seriously, this statement couldn't be further from the truth. Are you sure we played the same game?
The PS4 really does have such an insane library of RPGs. It's still wild to think that one of the entries on this list came out when the system was about to turn ten years old!
2:01 The 2d mode saved so much of my OG switch's battery 😂 2:57 Also was on Vita even though I ended up buying the switch version I almost got the Vita one 3:42 I haven't got around to playing Azure yet even though I own it. 3:42 I bought both the collection and Trials because I loved and adored Seiken Densetsu 3 so dang much 😊
I really loved your list! Long time lurker and first time commentor for your videos and channel but, I recently re-tried the demo for Dragon Quest XI S ended up really enjoying it! Started playing Azure today since I finished Zero recently. Added Star Ocean 2 to my list when I get the chance, pending on purchasing Dragon Quest Warriors II but... not sure if it would work on my PS5 or if they'll actually port of the duology Switch version in the future. That said great list!
The PS4 is a JRPG heaven and my favorite system of all time. I love the Falcom love in here! Dragon Quest XI is the best jrpg on the system for me ˆˆ Looking forward to your Switch list and I'm expecting FF7 Remake on your PS5 list!
Ni Np Kuni, Trials of Mana, Star Oceasn and Alliance games pickued my interest. Thanks David for the upbeat and interesting videos on my beloved RPG genre
Going to have to pick up Trials of Mana soon for sure, still need to play through the collection of originals as well! Too much to play, too little time ugh. Hope you're enjoying the land of the rising sun!
It's a great game. I picked it up shortly after release. My biggest issue was the voice acting, mostly of the main healer girl. Most annoying voice over I've heard.
@@bicenhower7 I do not mean that to deter you from playing it. It's 100% worth playing. 1 character voice shouldn't ruin the experience. I just didn't use her lol
My manager at work was kind enough to give me her old PS4 now that she got a PS5 for Christmas so I am going to give all the games here that I don't have already on the Switch special priority.
Dragon Quest 11 is one of my favourite jrpgs of all time, although I have only played the demo on the Switch! It must be fun to play both 2d and 3d. Let's hope by the Gods that DQ12 will also be turn-based!
Cool video idea! I'm.all here for it! Currently 45h into octopath traveler 2 and tbh, I'm disappointed in both the combat and the stories, OT1 was better :/.
This list is stacked!! Theres a few games in here that ive considered adding to my backlog like Atelier Ryza, YS 8 and Alliance Alive. I was most surprised by Dragon Quest Heroes, I think I wrote it off as just another musou style game. But if its on Davids top 10 list Im wrong af and need to give it a go hahaha.
you saying the Atelier series has the best spinoffs just reminded me of how much I want the Mana Khemia games to come to modern consoles I never buy full priced games but I would buy those as soon as they come out, they were so good also I haven´t played most games on this list (thanks for the recommendations btw), but so far the best ones I played myself were Yakuza 7 and Octopath Traveler 2, I was honestly surprised you didn´t put either on the list but maybe these are better and I just don´t know yet
Wait! David aren't you in Japan? This is crazy how is he in two places at one? This has to be his look alike, Sabin. I just grabbed One Piece: Romance Dawn for the 3ds, and it is a chefs kiss (I am a huge one piece fan).
omg the trails of azure is a such a gem, i could never get into the trails of cold steel cuz im literally so over the school rpg fad! thanks for the insight David!
Looking forward to the other videos in the series! I have 9 of these but none on PS4… 8 of them I have for Switch and one for PS3 😂 my PS4 pick for this list would be Scarlet Nexus - it’s a NieR clone sure but a stylish one that’s loads of fun to play and has a great soundtrack
Good reminder that I need to pick back up on Dragon Quest Heroes II. Plus I did snag the first one and heard it's worth the journey even if you've played 2.
I would like to mention Grand Kingdom. This title was a big surprise on the ps4 for me. Also Ps4 had so many RPG-Gems.. but i am sure the Ps5 will get on that level in 2024 too.
Tales of bersiria and arise ( I couldn’t choose one they are both great games ) Ff 7 remake DQ11 Ni no kuni wrath of the white witch Nier automata Persona striker Ys 8 Yakuza like a dragon Odin sphere Trial of mana ( I platinum almost all of them except ni no kuni )
I love your list and agree with it a lot but, in my humble opinion, Persona 5 Royal should definitely be there: if you asked me, I would say that the best game ever (not only RPG, game in general) is either P5R of FFIX.
Was really into them on the SNES and PS1 but life happened and only now getting back into them. I've caught up with all the dragon quests I had missed which took me about two years to get through. Played Persona 5 which I liked and didn't like for various complicated and personal reasons. Then I've played the remasters like FF12 which was amazing and Legend of Mana which was underwhelming for the same reasons everyone else has mentioned but the upscaled art bothered me. It somehow stopped looking like a watercolor painting and more of a computerized mess? Then of course played through the Final Fantasy 7 remakes which are great, not super loyal to the original story so that hasn't bothered me despite suffering from rose colored nostalgia syndrome. lol
I just beat dq11 and vpg has a reprint of Dana so I’ve preordered that. Hey I have a question for you. Does it bother you that Ryza 1 has English voice acting and the 2 sequels don’t?
I am always looking for new rpg and jrpg games to play. Thanks for the suggestions. I love the tails and dragon age games. I think I played trials of mana more than any jrpg. 😝
This is a great list of rpgs, i have Alliance alive but havent played it yet. Too many games are coming out and there just isnt enough time in the day.
YS XIII LoD was originally on the PS Vita!😎 I have a Copy! 😉 Pretty Good list, I would like to go with Tales if Arise! Nier Replicant and even though it is a Western “Action” RPG it has JRPG elements and that was last years Amazing Lies of P! 😎
Very good list, I just finished up Star Ocean 2 R and it was a real treat to play, I don't think I could ever play the og version again, it's amazing. I feel the same about Trials of Mana, I had a blast with that game, it's the most robust Mana game to date imo. I played Tales of Vesperia DE about a year ago and it just never really clicked for me, I personally had Alot more fun with the intense combat of Berseria. As for Ys8, amazing game no doubt, but I often find it almost impossible to mention it and not talk about Ys9, which to me was equally great even though the two games had a vastly different narrative.
I've played most of these. Would love to play Trials of Mana. Excited for Visions of Mana coming out. The Atelier series is getting more popular. I would have added P5 Royal but it is your list. There are plenty more but Persona 5 has always been top of my list for PS4 JRPGs.
my list are top 10 jrpgs that I beat on ps4 (that's why star ocean 2r isn't on this list xD), lol trails kinda dominating persona 5/royale trails to azure trails from zero trails of cold steel 2 trails of cold steel final fantasy 7 remake nier automata dragon quest 11 tokyo xanadu ex la pucelle tactics ragnorak
I think David dont like school settings in his games 🤣, This top is great, but for me DQH2 is no that good and miss Yakuza like a dragon and Persona 5 Royal and Strikers, but they are two list more to go so will see. (Sorry for my broken english)
PS4 is littered with awesome rpgs. The only thing its not got is Xenoblade Chronicles :( Trials of Mana Visions of Mana Skyrim Kingdoms of Amalur: ReReckoning Ni no Kuni Wrath of the White Witch Final Fantasy 10 remaster Final Fantasy 12 remaster Final Fantasy 7 Remake Nier Automata Nier Replicant SMT: Nocturne Dragon Quest 11 Dragon Quest Heroes 1 and 2 Dragon Quest HD 2D remakes Suikoden 1 and 2 remastered Tales of Vesperia Definitive Edition Tales of Graces F Remastered Ys 9 Ys 8 Ys: Memories of Celceta Ys Origin Star Ocean: The Last Hope 4k remaster Star Ocean 2 Last Story R Star Ocean First Departure Star Ocean 5 Star Ocean 6 Star Ocean 3
There are a couple of honorable mentions for me personally, like Tales of Berseria, Valkyria Chronicles 4, Stranger of Paradise or the Nier games (if those last ones even counts). But I will never understand all the love for Tales of Vesperia. It has good characters, but that's about it. The story itself is just kind of OK, combat is my least favorite of the Tales games I've played (Symphonia 1+2, Berseria and Arise, so not all that many), but the pacing is one of the worst I've ever encountered in any JRPG. More power to the people that love that game, but it's just not for me at all.
Keep in mind that I’d your favorites aren’t on this list, they may show up later on the PS5 or Switch lists, I wanted to make sure there’s no overlap ❤❤❤
FFVIIRemake, Nier Automata, Ni No Kuni 2, Persona5, Chained Echoes, Sea of Stars!!!
Great list
I have to mention Yakuza Like a Dragon here as being deserving of at least an honourable mention
Glad to see all the Falcom love in this video. Trails to Azure is definitely the best Trails game to date.
Love that Azure got a mention!
The Square / Tokyo RPGFactory games (I am Setsuna, Lost Sphear, Oninaki) are honorable mentions for me.
Berseria for me.
Damn that game really have me my fix for RPG :)
Dana in a thumbnail always makes me click a video! Great list, nice to see some DQ Heroes love! The Crossbell arc is definitely the best Trails offers, plus Noel being one of my favorite party members!

That list is spot on and it reminds me I still need to play Alliance Alive... I keep seeing it coming around and I never got around to play it.

Thanks for your awesome videos
Really appreciate your championing of Alliance Alive, I probably would not have checked it out otherwise and I had a blast with it.
If you haven't checked them out yet Studio Ghibli definitely has some amazing movies. Princess Mononoke, Kiki's Delivery Service, & Grave of the Fireflies would probably be my top 3 suggestions. Be warned that Grave of the Firelies can be a really depressing movie though, but I think it really is a masterpiece.
Amazing list! I would add Yakuza: Like a Dragon since I played it on PS4!
That jab at cold steel 😂
He just knows what the anaconda wants. 😊
Getting these late David vids is money AF.
Late?
Love from Belgium 🇧🇪 ❤
Dragon Quest 8, like a dragon, star ocean 4, Dark Cloud, ff12, white knight Chronicles.
Of these, I've played Dragon quest 11, Nino Kuni, Trials of Mana, Alliance alive. I would rank those four below average to so-so. If it weren't for Persona and Yakuza, I would have completely lost hope in the future of JRPGs.

It is never the focus, though
@@AcidBurst1 I doubt it is in Cold Steel either, frankly.
Ys VIII was originally a Vita exclusive.

FFVII remake is not a top 10 JRPGs on ps4.
Thanks so much for your recommendations and entertainment! ❤
You are so welcome!
Great video! Going to try some of these games out!
You should!
Hi David! Alliance Alive is a really good hidden gem rpg. Anyone who likes the genre should check it out. Have a blessed day!
Great content David. You have a good vibe.

respect for the DQXI:S 2d praise. i sometimes feel like im the only one who played the whole game in 2D!
I'm playing Ys 8 for the first time and it's God tier. Absolutely loving the game.
Trails of Cold Steel IV & Final Fantasy Remake would be ones i would add. Great list though :)
Nice list, gonna check some of those
The trails of Azure, kinda reminds me of Azure Dreams PS1 game where you can go to towers and tame monsters.
Dragon Quest 11 is one of my favourite jrpgs of all time, although I have only played the demo on the Switch! It must be fun to play both 2d and 3d. Let's hope by the Gods that DQ12 will also be turn-based!

Ty bro! Good video
omg the trails of azure is a such a gem, i could never get into the trails of cold steel cuz im literally so over the school rpg fad! thanks for the insight David!
Cold Steel 1 was pretty slow tbh so a lot of people didn´t get into the series because of that
Looking forward to the other videos in the series! I have 9 of these but none on PS4… 8 of them I have for Switch and one for PS3 😂 my PS4 pick for this list would be Scarlet Nexus - it’s a NieR clone sure but a stylish one that’s loads of fun to play and has a great soundtrack
Good reminder that I need to pick back up on Dragon Quest Heroes II. Plus I did snag the first one and heard it's worth the journey even if you've played 2.
Azure is the best Trails game. The truth has been spoken by this man.
Great top list! Enjoy yourself in Japan, looking forward to the backlog of videos you have for us while you're overseas ✈️
Thank you! Will do!
Yakuza like a dragon deserves an honorable mention
I would like to mention Grand Kingdom. This title was a big surprise on the ps4 for me. Also Ps4 had so many RPG-Gems.. but i am sure the Ps5 will get on that level in 2024 too.
Awesome shirt!
Tales of bersiria and arise ( I couldn’t choose one they are both great games )
Ff 7 remake
DQ11
Ni no kuni wrath of the white witch
Nier automata
Persona striker
Ys 8
Yakuza like a dragon
Odin sphere
Trial of mana
( I platinum almost all of them except ni no kuni )
I played Vesperia on the Switch and I love it alot. And I got a sau starting off with it for this list tells me this video is GOATED!!!
Ys VIII ❤
That's the game that got me back into RPGs.
I didn't even know Allaince Alive was remastered, I've been looking to get it on 3ds, but might just get it for the PlayStation now!
Im a bit curious...what does the anoconda want?
He wants buns, hun. 😂😂😂
No love for Yakuza:Like a Dragon?
I love your list and agree with it a lot but, in my humble opinion, Persona 5 Royal should definitely be there: if you asked me, I would say that the best game ever (not only RPG, game in general) is either P5R of FFIX.

PS4 JRPG Time with DavidRPG
What is that big Dana book (looks like a book) we can see in the background in the beginning of the video?
I just beat dq11 and vpg has a reprint of Dana so I’ve preordered that. Hey I have a question for you. Does it bother you that Ryza 1 has English voice acting and the 2 sequels don’t?
I am always looking for new rpg and jrpg games to play. Thanks for the suggestions. I love the tails and dragon age games. I think I played trials of mana more than any jrpg. 😝
Fairy fencer f is definitely one of my favorites
This is a great list of rpgs, i have Alliance alive but havent played it yet. Too many games are coming out and there just isnt enough time in the day.
I own Ni no Kuni on PS3 and Switch. Such a beautiful game.
Edit: I type like Garbo.
YS XIII LoD was originally on the PS Vita!😎 I have a Copy! 😉 Pretty Good list, I would like to go with Tales if Arise! Nier Replicant and even though it is a Western “Action” RPG it has JRPG elements and that was last years Amazing Lies of P! 😎
Yakuza 7 is a masterpiece. Hopefully 8 is just as good.
Ys 8 is the best action rpg period.
Wow, no Persona 5 or Octopath Traveler II? Tough David. Solid list all the same.
Probably will be in one of his other lists as he said at the start of the vid that he doesn't wanna repeat games.
That’s exactly right
Tales of Berseria easily #1 for me.
There needs to be a part 2. Sometimes there are more than 10.
Do you have a best of for other categories? Valentine's Day is coming up.
HD 2D rocks!!!! baby.
Very good list, I just finished up Star Ocean 2 R and it was a real treat to play, I don't think I could ever play the og version again, it's amazing.
I feel the same about Trials of Mana, I had a blast with that game, it's the most robust Mana game to date imo.
I played Tales of Vesperia DE about a year ago and it just never really clicked for me, I personally had Alot more fun with the intense combat of Berseria.
As for Ys8, amazing game no doubt, but I often find it almost impossible to mention it and not talk about Ys9, which to me was equally great even though the two games had a vastly different narrative.
I've played most of these. Would love to play Trials of Mana. Excited for Visions of Mana coming out. The Atelier series is getting more popular. I would have added P5 Royal but it is your list. There are plenty more but Persona 5 has always been top of my list for PS4 JRPGs.
did you play nier? such a good game
my list are top 10 jrpgs that I beat on ps4 (that's why star ocean 2r isn't on this list xD), lol trails kinda dominating
persona 5/royale
trails to azure
trails from zero
trails of cold steel 2
trails of cold steel
final fantasy 7 remake
nier automata
dragon quest 11
tokyo xanadu ex
la pucelle tactics ragnorak
David ,any honorable mention that didnt make to the list?
There must be at least 8 of these Trails games on Ps4 lol, what order should they be played in?
We have Rebirth this month ❤️
I agree with all of these
What about yakuza 7 ? It’s been years since I enjoyed a game as much as I enjoyed it ! It’s one of my favorite rpgs
Regardless who has a bigger "harem".
Rean>>>>Lloyd
4:04 one of the reasons why I love your videos is because we share this opinion, lol. No more anime high school sexualized teens, pls.

There are a couple of honorable mentions for me personally, like Tales of Berseria, Valkyria Chronicles 4, Stranger of Paradise or the Nier games (if those last ones even counts).
But I will never understand all the love for Tales of Vesperia. It has good characters, but that's about it. The story itself is just kind of OK, combat is my least favorite of the Tales games I've played (Symphonia 1+2, Berseria and Arise, so not all that many), but the pacing is one of the worst I've ever encountered in any JRPG. More power to the people that love that game, but it's just not for me at all.
the combat in Vesperia is good when you learn to guard cancel, but yeah the story is kinda garbage
