Legend of Dragoon, my first ever played RPG. I've been told that's an odd first playthrough but we rented it and well...the rest is history. Sorry 3 comments is a lot but you made a list of my fav gameplay!
Always glad to see when people mention lost odyssey because the story is just amazing and so well done, sad that when it was released it flew so far under the radar and didn't get the credit it deserved
Wasn't the games fault, it was just released on the wrong console.
@@slipknotsoad86 Unfortunately true.
Respect your list, its a tough one to make, especially with Persona and Trails being so high (I agree btw)..... but not seeing FF3/6 on a top 25 list of all time is a shocker. Any reason why it wasn't included? Again, I respect your opinion, just curious. Nice channel btw!
hmm i personally think ff6 might be strong contender. But i feel like in terms of overall aspect like gameplay, presentation etc, ffix and ff8 delivered it better. But i do feel like ff6 is also a masterpiece
@@JoelRPG Respect sir 🫡
Great list imo, glad to see you put Valkyrie Profile 2, but surprised VP Lenneth is not here. Thanks!
Thanks for including Resonance of Fate. That game was one of my favorites and is regularly overlooked by RPG fans.
I don't know how many have played it, but I just want to spread the word about two games being Legend of Legaia 1 and 2. You have 4 attacks and you can use a number of combinations to performs moves called arts and was one of the best ps1 and ps2 games for me
It's good for the 1st 10hours or so. Once you get enough points for action, you can combo loop your actions. I'm getting a special skill every action I do so every encounter becomes a chore when I'm wasting 30secs just for 1 action from a character. I fell asleep so many times during encounters. It's so tiring.
First time i've seen a trails game in this list. Such an incredibly amazing series. A bit bloated with dialogue and silly quests, but unparallelled story, characters and world.
Any time I don’t see one in a top list I’m like hmm I guess they’ve not played any lol
happy to see Trails as well. Just finished replaying Cold Steel 3 a few days ago and now gonna replay Cold Steel 4 in a few days. I wanna be ready for July when Reverie drops. I can't wait
@@DarkChaser3 Same here bro. Just finished Trails to Azure, replay of Cold Steel 4 incoming.
yess more trails fans haha
God, I Love every one of Falcom's games. Finished with Ys series and Tokyo Xanadu, currently going through trails starting from sky FC, recently finished Zero, going to start azure.
It's quite unexpected that the 3 games that I played are in the top 3 (P4 Golden, P5 Royal and Trails series). I don't think I'll ever regret buying these 3 games...I'm having a blast playing them too...
Awesome list! Nice to see Xenosaga, Shadow Hearts, and Golden Sun!
They should've just remade Xenogears and finish the Disc 2 part.
Thanks for giving love to Megaten
Recently finished Trails in the Sky FC and immediately hopped into SC. Been loving it to death.
Apparently I need to check out Resonance of Fate. That looks like my kinda stupid
Yes, I love the trails series I became a nihon falcom fan after discovering it. I would add Radiant historia, grandia 1, Atelier series, and blue reflection second light for me since they're one of the enjoyable turn based rpg I've experienced.
Some great shout-outs on here - especially Resonance of Fate and FFVIII, really happy to see someone not hating on these - but you accidentally put Persona 4 Golden in there.
Imagine Legend Of Dragoon adapted in today's graphical capabilities. I wish this game gets the reboot it deserves.
I dont have a Xbox or ps can you play some titels like xenosaga or lost odyssey on PC? and when the way( the games are not on steam🙁) Sorry for my poor Englisch.
Unfortunately you can't unless you're using emulator
14:35 ゼノギアスの戦闘画面ってこんなに動くんだ。良いですね。
Fun list! Thank you. X
Nice list, and great choice for #1.
No persona 2 duology, no smt 4, i'd also throw devil summoner 1 and 2 in the picture. If you haven't tried them yet it's worth it.
I would add Grandia 1&2, but generally I agree with your list ;)
I'm happy you included XENOSAGA
everyone must give trails series a try,fun battle system,nice story,even npc have their own story.
Im so intimidated to start the trails series cause I saw how many you have to play to get the whole story and it's making me step back and rethink it through before starting it cause i know I wont be able to play anything else until i finish them lol
Haha my advice is try trails in the sky FC until finished. See the ending. If you're not hooked, then this series probably not for you. But so far, people that i met after finishing the first game are literally marathon the series afterwards lol.
I finished Cold Steel 3 about four weeks ago, and I had played that right after I finished Azure. After two straight trails games, i needed a break, so I played FUGA 2 and Chained Echoes. I'm almost done with Chained Echoes right now, and plan to play Cold Steel 4 next. Trails games are great, but they're also a lot, I do recommend breaks in between. I picked up Sky FC in 2020 during the lockdown. I had a lot of money and free time on my hands for the first time in my life, and I decided to get back into JRPGs. I played Sky FC and have gradually worked my way through the first 8 games in the series in the last 3 years. Don't feel you need to binge all the games at once, it's okay to go at your own pace. If you can't stand the cliffhanger a game ends on, it's okay to look up spoilers to find out how the story turned out. Whatever you need to do, the important thing is that you start.
Lost Age is highly underrated. I still really want a resolution to the story.
I had an N64 as a kid, and didn’t get into Sony until PS2. There are so many PS1 RPGs I missed!
Good list I would like to make a shoutout to the Etrian Odyssey series if you want a dungeon crawler RPG, and the original 3 ds games: Etrian Odyssey, Etrian Odyssey 2 Heroes of High Lagaard, and Etrian Odyssey 2, Etrian Odyssey 3 the Drowned City will be available on Switch and PC on June 1st.
The Artlier Ryza series and good comfy rpg to me and finally Radiant Historia who might I daresay did the time travel mechanic better than Chrono Trigger.
Great list - lots I still need to get to as well!!! Earthbound would obviously make my list haha
Thank you for putting Trails on Number 1. Cannot wait until July and Reverie comes out
i'm not a fans of jrpg but i dunno somehow i finish few game on this list = yakuza like a dragon,smt nocturne,dragon quest XI,chrono cross,FF 12 Zodiac Age.or maybe i just like jrpg that has a lot of freedom of choice such as choice of party member,skill selection,eqipment choice .any recommended besides of this list ??
This may be the bump I need to buy Resonance of Fate!
Ah, I'm glad to see someone, who appritiate experimental battle and gameplay mechanics. ))
Lost Odyssey is an Awesome really interesting story/game. Kaim's A thousand years of dreams, I think they are called? - will nearly bring a tear to your eye, some are that well done. hmm is that avail on steam? I Love your channel, the notification bell has been set to ring for a while now. My question now is am I going to have to buy an older TV and consoles I've long since given away to nieces and nephews to play some of these gems WHAT have I done to myself.
Shin Megami franchise is a wild ride. I played through one of the earliest games with some friends of mine, None of us can remember the actual number (name) it was though. Yes also given away...Ohhh the library of treasures including comics (Wolverines first time in Huik ECT) I should be a wealthy retired man😭Comics especially and they were all in hard plastic safety pkgs. It actually makes me queezy to think about them. Hopefully all have enriched other lives.
very well done presentation, havent played all of these games over time, but may help me suggest a game for my kids getting older
W dad :)
P5R is probably my no. 1 turn base jrpg of all time(currently). Or maybe until Persona 6.
Also huge respect for putting Trails at the top spot. I love Coldsteel.
Agree. P5R is absolutely brilliant and fresh in so many ways even for those of us who played Persona games since first installments.
Lost odyssey kicks so much ass I wish they made a second one
This is a very nice list and I'm happy to see that some of my absolute favorite games of all time are included here, especially SMT III: Nocturne and SMT V. Have you played SMT IV on the 3DS? That one is more character-driven than the other mainline SMT games and the combat is engaging and excellent. Hopefully Atlus will eventually port it to PC and modern consoles so more people can have the opportunity to play it.
Maybe people would care if they didn't have to bundle them with "dEnUvO".
One of the best list I’ve seen in my entire life
*lists
Far from "best"
@@TheArcticMoonSo what jrpgs make your list? Metal Saga? 7th Dragon III? Nostalgia?
Hmm let's see... FF 7, DQ 8
@@TheArcticMoon Those two are in there, definitely.
Chrono Cross OST is just as powerful as Ys.
When I first started both games, I felt the strong need to do nothing while listening to the music for a while. I just didn't want to interrupt it until the first loop ended.
I really like playing Suikoden Series in order 4 Tactics 5 1 2 and 3 😊
What were the three games in the preview portion of the video?
lost odyssey, xenogears, trails of cold steel
DQXI missing here. But great list!
The legend of heroes!!! 🚬🗿
You have good taste in gaming👌
Mentioning Final Fantasy 9 says it all.
I'm a bit proud of myself at the fact that i own or played all these games but two haha.😅
Wow, i remember playing this game when i was a kid. I played all the series 😊 3:54 shadowhearts
nice list consist of both classic and new game
This is an amazing list 👌🏼
Thank you! 😁
Really nice video dude keep it up
Thanks, will do!
Thanks for refreshing list.
We are getting golden sun on switch online, might get the 2nd game at some point. Don't know how likely a new game is though
Final Fantasy VI and Dragon Quest VIII are glaring ommisions
Final Fantasy V or Bravely Default are also a must
SMTIV is far better than III
SuperMario RPG's timed press mechanic is also a highlight/innovation of Turn-Based RPGs
Did not see Lufia or Breath of Fire mentioned anywhere
good, solid list.
my favorite game is FF8, love the story and the characters.
Good list only game I think that should of had a spot would of been blue dragon it’s criminally underrated
Devil Survivor (1 2), The Legend Of Heroes, Tale of, Fire Emblem, Ys ....
Chrono cross ahead of chrono trigger. FF8 ahead of FF9. Controversial list but I do enjoy the different take
Well i agree with you on most titles here are really best of jrpgs except for pokemon , chrono cross and monster hunter .well This is my top 30 ever made jrpg :
1- dragon quest 8 (3ds version)
2- valkery profile 2
3- xenoblad chronicles 1
4- persona 5 royal
5- final fantasy 9
6- shinmegami tensei 5
7 - suikoden 2
8 - dragon quest 11
9 - star ocean 3
10 - xeno saga 1
11- grandia 3
12 - batten kaitos origins
13 - lost odessey
14 - resonance of fate
15 - wild armes 2
16 - shinmegami tensei 3
17 - star ocean 4
18 - valkery profile 1

27 - gandia 2
28 - xenoblad 3
29 - final fantasy 4
30 - valkeria chronicles 1
You put smt v and 3 on the list but not iv? This is blasphemy.
This is one of the lists i've ever seen!
hoping someday valkyrie profile 2 and lost odissey come to PC and yes trails is awesome.
When i saw trails at number one i almost cried. The games are amazing and i love the characters and how everything connects. It deserves so much more love and attention i feel it anytime i play a gme and i cant wait for reverie to come out cause i know am putting in as much hours as i can into the game.
Legend of Dragoon was amazing, hope they make a sequel
breath of fire 3, the JRPG that created my life long love of the genre
Tales of Series is amazing!! But yea Trails Series is amazing too!!!
Playing it right now, just completed Sky and Crossbell saga, now playing Cold Steel 1!!! 🤩
I envy you friend, Cold Steel 1 ends on an amazing cliffhanger. Enjoy it, it's worth it!
Battlechasers nightwar is really great you should check it
octopath traveller not includrd ?
What game is at the first video in intro?
Lost Odyssey
Amazing list, would love to see more jrpg lists
Skies of Arcadia will always be #1 on my list.
ahh how can i forgot that game 😅
Skies of Arcadia can replace Suikoden 1...maybe 🔥🎆
I played all of them and I have to say it's a very solid list. Not many people talk about ressonance of fate, and despise the difficult in mastering the battle system, it's an amazing game (Just don't have ending since it was supposed to have a sequel u.u)
I would trade:
Suikoden 1 for 5.
Pokemon for SMT: Digital Devil Saga 1 & 2.
Chained Echoes for Mana Khemia 1 & 2.
And squeeze some Breath of Fire and Wild Arms somewhere. xD
Ressonance of fate is an underrated game. At the beginning it has a somewhat simple story being your team a team of bounty hunters but as you advance you discover a mysterious secret that is linked to the soul of the people. The optional special dungeon is one of the biggest challenges you can have in a game since a simple character placement error can lead to the immediate death of the entire group.
Personally i prefer suikoden 1 over 5 due to storyline. And you are right i almost forgot about mana khemia and atelier iris
Ok Im watching but if I dont see Golden Sun Im gonna cry
YESSSSSSSSSSS
Legend of Dragoon.... Exceptional
Agree on the top games legend of heroes all series is so good
Do you consider honkai star tail turn based jrpg?
i do, but most probably don't
@@JoelRPG oh i see thats why, great list btw
Oh wow finally trails games. But im surprised legend of dragoon and breath of fire arent in the list. And im surprised ff8 is positioned higher than ff9
Lost Odyssey.... Exceptional
Forgot Legend of Dragons and Wild Arms
Resonance of fate is an hidden gem, love it
YESSSS! I wish they had a sequel.
The Legend of Dragoon
Finally, a list with only real JRPGs in it. Most of other similar rankings include just about everything made in Japan with some RPG elements, which is absolutely stupid... like Kingdom Hearts, like NieR Automata, like Ys VIII, like FFT, Disgaea and Triangle Strategy...
I see Xenogears. I sub.
The Legend of Heroes is the greatest JRPG series of all time.
... It's also the series where even a kid who games IDK, 5 hours everyday for a whole year can't finish.
Trails Series is the Best Turnbase game.
No Lunar? No Legend of Legaia? No Star Ocean?
Bruh u are legend for remembering legend of legaia till this day I can't get that sound track out my head
Isn't Star Ocean an Action RPG?
My favorite in 4th n most of my top ten aren't even on this list
Neat
That some incredible list but sadly i dont have the time to play all 😢😢 can u filter 5 game for me to play 2023
Just play legend of heroes series
Persona 5 Royal is probably top 3 game i've played in my life (and it's a LOT of games!!). Xenoblade Chronicles 3 and Final Fantasy X are also up there.
@@melanp4698 yes i have it installed its in game pass persona 5 is really good played few hours
hell yeah, Trails Series is fking good.
I would have replaced FF8 with FF6. Otherwise great list.
Honestly if it wasn't for legend of legaia 1 and 2 i wouldn't be into rpgs and i still haven't found a better sound track
Grandia 3 should’ve made the list for sure. I think it’d beat out a lot of these games. That being said, the second half of the game does drop in quality due to mediocre writing but the battle system throughout is amazing. The first half is also amazing. It’s too bad they couldn’t take more time developing the plot better in the second half.
Bravely default?
Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver (DS) is a very good game but pokemon ultra sun and ultra moon is better, also octopath traveler 2 is bad compared to the first :(
No Skies of Arcadia? Yeah...right...
for me
Ar tonelico 2
Mana Khemia 2
*sees Shadow Hearts: Covenant on the list*
Yep. This is a certified and trustworthy list.
never interested with persona series, because their mc never talk. in my opinion characterization should takes priority in jrpg unlike western rpg who prefer world building over characterization. but hey, in the end i play fgo too, their character also didnt talk, they just give us bunch of choice lol. maybe i just have soft spot with nasu, nasu writing is cool
Based list
Trails series is the best .
