      I have played every Kingdom Hearts game in the franchise except the Aqua 2.5 Episode/Final Mix games. That being said I know the content that is in the final mix games. Confidently IMO Kingdom Hearts 1 is still the hands down best game in the series, KH2 Final Mix only beats it due to having the Data Org battles, and slight extra content. Vanilla KH1 is seriously underrated though--As many in this thread have said it has a great atmosphere and kickass gameplay with actual challenge.

    Chrono Trigger is a masterpiece, no argument there. However the top spot for me, would have to be Star Ocean The Second Story. The amount of different things possible in that game, the story, the crafting (during a time when crafting wasn't really a thing), the fact that it was action rpg during battles(which also had a 2-player function), the stealing system and let's not forget the 80 different possible endings!

      In my opinion DQ8 was the 5th best game in the series. It's above 1239, but below 4567. My favorite was DQ7. It's one of the longest and most involved JRPGs I have ever played. There is so much content to dq7 and all of it is plot driven and unique. It came out at a weird time however and very few people played it. It was a 2d jrpg at the time 3D jrpgs were just becoming developed. It was completely overshadowed by FF7, and the like. The flavor was too old to be popular and not old enough to be retro.

      I played Chrono Trigger more than 10x surely more than that.
      even played Xenogears more than 25x AND IT IS STILL NOT Boring. this game is even better worth playing over and over again than Final Fantasy series (both are from SquareEnix/Squaresoft)

    I ok I agree with having the top two as Final Fantasy 6 and CHRONO Trigger. Spoiler alert#
    The fact that half way through FF6 the villian Kefka wins and succeeds in destroying the world has got one of the most Holy Fucking Shit moments in gaming, and Kefka himself to call him Final Fantasy’s most frightening and Sadistic villain is putting it lightly. I genuinely believe that CHRONO Trigger is the best game ever made, simply because there’s nothing else like it. It’s visual asthetic and it’s scope and storyline unlike any other video game that I’ve played. And 14 different endings in a Jrpg is huge, the fucking balls on that game to do something so innovative. What happened to the Square Enix that was willing take huge narrative risks like that, those guys are fucking legends. honestly I wish they would’ve remade CHRONO Trigger instead of FF7.

    People who say Xenoblade and or Xenosaga are better than Xenogears has either never played Xenogears, or never cared to pay attention to its story. Xenogears is superior in terms of having such a grand story and amazing character development and great turned based battling! Xenogears story is very depressing and quite complex. If you play the game and delve into the lore, it's like a 60+ hour long game at the least.

      +Tyrius Wolfe I disagree, but I can understand why some prefer KH2. A more robust battle system and a really satisfying gameplay made the series much more focused.
      However, KH1's plot is much simpler and enjoyable, the worlds are more colorful and exploration feels so satisfying. From the tiny secrets in Traverse Town like lighting the candles or the paintings puzzle to the most memorable ones like the Tarzan world or Hollow Bastion, the game is filled with content... good content, with a variety unseen in almost any other game. Like any Disney movie, you can feel the passion of KH1 in the details. In the meantime, KH2 gives us a much improved combat system... but in return, gave us those awful skateboarding segments. Ugh.

    • @PyroBlitz.

    • @SatoshiMatrix1
      @SatoshiMatrix1 9 років тому +2

      Dawnlight I'm a big fan of Symphonia myself, but let's face it - it's the Final Fantasy 7 of the Tales series. It was the one that most westerners played first despite it definetely not being anywhere close to the first Tales game, it's the one that fanboys prop up on a pedestal as having an amazing story that was about heavy subjects like racism and prejudice, and it's the one that GameCube fanboys site when defending the GameCube as having good games.
      Symphonia was excellent for it's time. But it was soon elipsed by Abyss, and later, by Graces, in particular Graces ƒ.
      Once you play Graces ƒ it's really hard to go back and enjoy much of anything that Symphonia has to offer, even the HD version on PS3. It's clunky and plotting, trope characters out of a make-your-RPG construction set, and the battle system is more simplistic than even it's predecessor, Tales of Eternia. And that was entirely 2D.
      If you like Symphonia, check out Graces ƒ.

    • @JustinPinedaMedia
      @JustinPinedaMedia 9 років тому +3

      Satoshi Matrix Graces f was really good imo. But I personally thought the Xillia series was better. I grew more attached to the story and characters better than what Graces offered. Though Graces opened me up to new voice actors such as Bryce Papenbrook, Cassandra Lee Morris, and David Vencent.

    • @SatoshiMatrix1
      @SatoshiMatrix1 9 років тому +1

      Dawnlight For me, one of the biggest nicest improvements with Graces ƒ was the battle system as it completely lacked MP meters. Chaining attacks and spells was so much fun it reminds me of the good old days of beat 'em ups like Streets of Rage 2.
      Then Xillia went back to an MP system.
      I'm really forward to Tales of Zestiria, as from what I hear it's got a similar battle system to Graces and Graces ƒ.

    4. Final Fantasy 6, 7, or 8

    10. Lunar Eternal Blue or Silver Star (Tie)
    10. Wild Arms 1 or 2 (Tie)
    Some of my comments on why I don't have Watchmojo games on my list. Numbered by their ranks:
    10. Secret of Mana - I only like this game with multiplayer, it's more of an action RPG anyway.
    7. I have never been latched into any Persona or SMT game more than about 15 hours, I don't find them as interestingnd find them a little grindy.
    6. Kingdom Hearts - I don't really enjoy these games, and I find the RPG elements to be extremely weak in the game, they're not strong enough to really count it as an RPG, it's more of an action adventure.
    4. I love Dragon Quest, but I found Dragon Quest 8 to be extremely slow, it was the worst paced game in the series since DQ2, even worst than DQ7 (which I actually liked, but didn't finish, so i didn't add it to my list). Dragon Quest 9 fixed all of the issues, and added multiplayer which was a great addition. Storywise and characterwise, Dragon Quest 4 and 5 are MUCH better games. Dragon Quest 3 was massively groundbreaking at the time of its release.
    3. Pokemon games in general - Similar to most American and European made RPGs, I don't really enjoy these sorts of games. Pokemon feels more like a simple beginners introduction to RPG mechanics rather than a full-fledged RPG.
    The main reason I don't have North American or European developed RPGs is because I don't find they feel like RPGs. A lot of the core mechanics that differentiate RPGs from other genres have been removed in recent times. The most important one is the abstracted simulations of combat; this is the defining mechanic of the RPG genre on paper and in videogame format. Because a lot of so-called "Western RPGs" don't have them, there is no mechanic or set of mechanics that really define them as RPGs; as sports games, fighting games, racing games, platformers, and action adventures all incorporate the same mechanics.

      Good list. I'd add DQ8 over 9 and FF9 over 8 (almost confused myself there), but I'm with you most of the way. Particularly at 1 and 2.

    I miss Dragon Quest 8. I loaded up my PS3, hoping to see it in the store. It wasnt there. 😔
