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 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.
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 😁
@@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.
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
@@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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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 .
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.

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.

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?

Fire Emblem Engage is one of the worst games in the series, the characters are a colorful mess, the designs are too simple and boring, the game is by far inferior to the engage and the 3ds games
It has one of the best gameplay though. It was really fun. They should have mixed the gameplay and battle mechanics from engage with the story of three houses
I can't bring myself like megami tenshi, Xenoblade 2, flop cop, pokemon weird history because of frame rate issue. I never dream a console can go under 24 fps. Even story or moment not like finest and epic.
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."
@@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.
@@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.'
I just finished Monster Hunter Story 2. I have to say that it was very addictive along with the story line. I spent 75+ hours on this also still have extended gameplay after main story to go 😅 have to tell my self to take a break!
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.
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 🙄).
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!
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!
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
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
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!

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

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.'
I know it's a good list when I see Xenoblade and Persona on the top. The GOATS of modern JRPGS.
I really love that Xeno 3 is on the first spot, my God that game is a masterpiece, it's my favorite game ever
I'm excited for this one, thanks man.
I liked the way you named timestamps 😅
I just finished Monster Hunter Story 2. I have to say that it was very addictive along with the story line. I spent 75+ hours on this also still have extended gameplay after main story to go 😅 have to tell my self to take a break!
Is JRPG a Style of RPG?
A Japanese style
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.
well this is interesting, especially the #1 on this list.
no fsr huh damn and here i thought it was decent enough to be played by people who doesn't know fate series
can I have the games listed please so I can reference them?
OT 2 has one of the most beautiful HD2D graphics.
Nice list! Would have put P5 number one though like the channel you got a subscription
Thanks for the sub!
Story
Overworld Section
Battle phase
Charaters
The switch is one of the best consoles ever for RPG fans
In no world would I rank sea of stars over chained echos.
NEO is so slept on
"the new goat"
You're goddamn right
MHS 2 runs amazing on Switch (lite).
A list I can't use because of the namings.
“edelgard was wrong” VILE💀💀💀
WHAAT LONG VIDDDD
Great video! I have some new things to pick up now!
SmtIV was 5x harder than V
(also 5x better than V)
So what?
This the type of content I like too see you make💯
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
NO Y's?
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.
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 🙄).
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!
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!
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
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
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!
