2 is my favorite, but I really enjoyed 3. The story is interesting, but the villains aren't as memorable as 2 or 1. I would say what happens with Noah and Mio is peak story telling and the climax for the game (THAT SCENE) was heart wrenching and the twist was immaculate. I'd say Zed was just a weak main villain but overall the game was amazing, and the ending of the dlc makes me hopeful for the future. A future connected. @@bethanyh1637
I would say XC2 is my favorite, XC1 being second favorite and XC3 being my least favorite. I don't know how to explain it but for all the improvements XC3 made, there was just something missing that it's predecessors had and I've never been able to put my finger on what. They're all great though and I can completely understand why any one of them would be someone's favorite.
Kinda disappointed I didn't see the Legend of Heroes series on here. That series IMO has the most "humanity" needed when we're talking about the "role playing" aspect of rpgs. Plus Dragon Quest 11 had me choked up when you saw a certain character's lifeless body on screen considering I have a daughter.

I am playing the Remake right now and for someone who doesn't played 7 back then: the Story is really good and i love Sephiroth and Tifa and the graphics but - at least the first one - is tedious
I am surprised Ys Viii Lacrimosa of Dana is not on your list. I played Astral Chain, Xenoblade Chronicles 2, and Octopath Traveler and all three of these cannot hold a candle to how good Ys Viii is.
1. Final Fantasy VII 2. Final Fantasy IX 3. Chrono Trigger 4. Skies of Arcadia 5. Dragon Quest VIII My personal top 5. I feel these games have absolutely impeccable pacing and only JRPGs i would consider absolutely flawless.
He put Chrono Trigger as #1, so cut him some slack. He doesn't even have Golden Sun on this list. He got XenoGears, Fire Emblem Awakening and Dragon Quest VIII on the list.
@@vittoriopugliese3352Golden Sun, the handheld JRPG with a 91% metacritic, literally higher than any other dedicated handheld JRPG (2nd only to Fire Emblem Awakening at 92%). You think that is the worst? Really? Very few JRPG's have a metacritic above 90%+ FFVII Remake only has an 87% and VII Rebirth is only 92%. The highest rated Ys is only 85% (Ys VIII). The highest Trails game is 83% (Trails in the Sky the 3rd). If you think Golden Sun is the worst JRPG, then you simply don't like JRPG's.
@@michaelp4122 I love Golden Sun but if it's necessary in a list then it should be in the Ugliest JRPG's of All Time. It looks really bad and I already thought that when it came out. Still, you guys cry too much about not having your favs on the list when you surely haven't played all of the games in this list. You don't have to play all of them to make a list and maybe he just didn't play any Ys, Trails game till the end.
OJ! Love and respect your list! I was surprised not to see Legend of Dragoon, Star Ocean 2, and Golden Sun. I’m sure you have buy if you haven’t played any of them. I’m sure you would love them!
I'm really missing the Legends of Heroes series (Trails in the sky, Trails from Zero, Trails in Azure, Trails of Cold Steel I-IV etc). Totally agree with FE three houses and Persona 5 Royal
Chrono Trigger can't be beaten at this point. I tried introducing this game to people who never played it or heard of it. No hype, just "Hey, try this old game out". The results were what I expected. After an hour, they are hooked. After a day they can't drop it.
Just curious, how old are the ppl you're introducing it to? Or have they had experience with more snes-era games? I'm 25 and wondering if I could enjoy it. Only game I've played from snes era is A Link to the Past, and some parts of it were kinda difficult/confusing for me without a detained guide.
@@giginoelani5880 Hi, I am 30, so we are not that far. I played it on my PC when I was around 15. Chrono Trigger is a bit interesting regarding difficulty. The game mechanics are not hard at all. Everything is intuitive. The game has 10+ endings, so you will eventually get a guide to finish it all. I wouldn't recommend starting with a guide. You will probably not find anything too difficult if you pay attention to the story and explore. I was captivated by the idea of time travel, so I would scan every corner of the game in the present and past to see how it changed and why. The game has a few major endings, and the most important choices are made in the second half of the game. I can't stress enough how important it is to pay attention. One of the most important choices in the game is completely optional and you can go to the final boss without doing it. That changes the ending. A link to the past is probably harder in terms of following things even if you pay attention, so you will probably be ok with CT. The game has a lot of "optional" quests and storylines. You can even kill a major character and it cuts you from an amazing storyline. The game has a lot of replayability. If you decide to play it, the Steam version is probably your best option. It was horrible on release, but it's fine now. The remaster was well done and faithful. You can pick the original instead of the remaster too. When you start a new game, you can choose "active" or "wait". Active makes the enemy attack you if you take too long on your "turn". It makes the combat more than just turn-based. I only play on active, but you should try both. Wait could be better early on so you can get used to the game. The mini-map has no combat and no random attacks when you are exploring. I mentioned how the most important choices are in the second half, but a lot of what you do will have interesting effects on the game and the story. Even your behavior during the opening of the game (The Millenium Fair) has a very cool effect on the story a few hours in. I already wrote too much, so I will stop. I suggest you do a blind first run. The soundtrack is as amazing as the game itself, so enjoy. The team who made it was not called "The Dream Team" for nothing.
I haven't played through it yet but so far the game is underperforming in almost every area. Story, characters, dialogue. I can't remember when I've been so bored with a game. A huge disappointment for the hype surrounding it. Maybe the problem is that I'm used to good story, dialogue, interesting characters, fun gameplay in CRPGs. I really have to force myself to keep playing. Perhaps the story will be interesting somewhere. Maybe the people you recommended to play chrono trigger never played anything but candy crush, or boomers who only know the Super Mario bros.
@@TisztaVizet-1 The game is a classic for a reason. if you don't like it, the problem is with you. It's either not your kind of game or you are too influenced by the hype to enjoy the game. Some people can't get used to older JRPGs and their combat. CT had a lot of innovation in combat, defining what came next. I wonder how many JRPGs you played before? Anyone who likes the old Final fantasy, old Zelda or Secret of Mana will probably love CT. It makes no sense to evaluate the game based on "rpgs" from today, they are a different genre. As for the story, it goes like this at the start (with minimal spoiler): - The game introduces the world and the millennium fair. It's a slow start. - The game introduces time travel. The mystery surrounding the queen and marle is quickly introduced. That should grip you for a bit. - You finish the ""past" storyline and goes to "???". I won't spoil it if you didn't reach this part yet. This new place has a lot of questions and mysteries, if you are not intrigued by now this game is probably not for you. This is where the game presents you with the main storyline. I wonder how deep you are into the game. Like a lot of older games, this game doesn't throw you in the middle of a super complex situation. It starts slow and grows. It has a lot of small things it presents to you and invites you to explore.
@@freedomextremist7215 I like rpg, can be crpg or jrpg. I don't mind the retro feel and look, because I loved undertale, stardew valley, and those are not beautiful games either. My problem with Chrono Trigger is neither that it's an rpg nor the mechanics of the game. The problem is that in the 10 hours so far nothing has happened that is above mediocre. Both the story the characters and the writing are shallow. I also don't feel anything outstanding or unique about the world the game opens up to me. Probably my problem is that I feel the story, characters and dialogues are made for 12 year old children. After a Planescape Torment, Baldur's Gate 1,2,3, Witcher 1,2,3 etc. one has expectations for the quality of story, characters, text. After a Yakuza, or Persona 4 etc there is a level to what I say is fun. And after Darksouls 1,2,3, Disco Elysium, Journey etc. there is a level at which I say the game has an "outstanding atmosphere". Of course, in 1995 these games didn't exist yet, so in the absence of stimulus, Chrono Trigger might have been considered epic in those days. With 10 hours of playtime now I feel that this is no longer true with today's demands.
Before oil was a huge deal China, middle eastern countries, etc became really rich off of salt. It's also critical to surviving in a dry and hot environment since it helps the body retain moisture. Also, triangle strategy is the next thing to a FF Tactics remake imo. Awesome game
Great top 25 list, although there’s a few RPG franchises missing, especially with the trails of/Kiseki/Legend of Heroes series but outside of that top notch, although Xenogears is in my top 10 and would have been in my top 5 if not for what happened with the budget and the second disk debacle. One day OJ when your old as dust you’ll get down on this series and fall in love with it lol. Even then though Xeno series is peak RPG franchise still, imo.
I haven't played many JRPG's, so my list has literally all I played from the genre: 1. Persona 5 Royal 2. Final Fantasy X 3. Persona 4 Golden 4. Final Fantasy 7 5. Nier Automata 6. Final Fantasy 12 7. Yakuza: Like a Dragon 8. Final Fantasy 13 I'm more into western RPGs, but I still consider the Persona games, FFX and FF7 to be some of my favorite games of all time in general.
I’m so happy to see Final Fantasy 10 on this list… even if you put it on number 25 since I would put it number 1 on my personal list. The best story with such amazing games as its themes and messages spoke to me on a personal list
Illegitimate list. 25 opportunities to place any of the tales series games or kingdom hearts titles and not a peep. I could make another 25 list with just those two franchises beating all the fire emblems and xeno games. 25. Tales of Hearts 24. Kingdom Hearts Coded 23. Tales of Xillia 22. Tales of Phantasia 21. Kingdom Hearts Union X Cross 20. Tales of Graces 19. Kingdom Hearts Missing Link 18. Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories 17. Tales of Zestiria 16. Tales of Innocence 15. Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep 14. Tales of Destiny 2 13. Tales of Rebirth 12. Tales of Berseria 13. Kingdom Hearts 3D Dream Drop Distance 12. Tales of Eternia 11. Tales of Destiny 10. Kingdom Hearts 258/2 Days 9. Tales of Arise 8. Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World 7. Kingdom Hearts III 6. Tales of Legendia 5. Tales of Symphonia 4. Kingdom Hearts 3. Tales of Vesperia 2. Kingdom Hearts II 1. Tales of the Abyss
Fantastic list and I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed hearing your rationale for the placement of each title. I need to check out a LOT of these! Just getting back into JRPGs after a looooong time away.
Amazing video, thanks man. I don't really play JRPGs, but you inspired me to give some a try. I've been wanting to play Xenogears and the Xenoblade trilogy.
Fire Emblem Three Houses is a great introduction to JRGPs. It's really good and detailed but really user friendly. RPG elements are treated without rush and the teaching part of the gameplay is very intuitive.
Xenoblade is a really good series but do know they all do take a few hours to really going and while in this list future redeemed is bundled with 3 you MUST Play future redeemed after all 3 since the plot is made to answer most mysteries from the trilogy while you can play 3 first if you're fine with missing out some references.
Fire emblem was the first RPG I ever played on the GameCube & at the time I did not care for Strategy RPG type games... All of the changed after I played that Amazing game!!! It was so good!
The first XC is by far the best game in the series, two or three never reached that level of story telling, and those Prison Island cut scenes are amongst the best in all of gaming. Also, the time the first game came out was more impressive, the game was stunning for a Wii game.
Fire emblem path of radiance was one of the only few games I had and beat from the GameCube at the time of it release! I had never been really big into strategy type games myself and I used to watch a buddy of mine play the game and think it was so boring... I could not have been more wrong when I finally gave it a fair shot myself and absolutely could not stop playing it!!! Once it gets the hook in you, you absolutely can't stop playing it. Is that good!!
Crazy how people are saying you're crazy for your preferences lol. This is an amazing list that proves you're a solid jrpg fan. I also love the astral chain mention. Such an underrated game. I how platinum follows through with the sequal they mentioned years ago.
You a real one for giving fire red and leaf green some love. Those are my favorite Pokémon games and I think all the other ones get mentioned over them
Nice list my guy! Love videos like this. You convinced me to give Xenoblade 2 a try. I’ve been on the fence because of the missed reception but I know what it’s like to love a game for its strengths even with flaws.
OG you really need to start playing the Trails and Ys series. You owe that to yourself. I know it's a big time investment to catch up but given your tastes so far, there is no way that you will not love these franchises.
If he wants a taste of both series in one game, he can also try Tokyo Xanadu eX+. Granted - It's not a great and impressive as the Trails or Ys series, but at least it give a "taste". By the way - The next Tokyo Xanadu game is in development, and I am happy for that. Another game series to try is the Atelier series (and Blue Reflection series) from Gust. Also - Not at the impressive level of the Trails or Ys series, but if you are a bit burned out by heavy and sometimes dark games, the Atelier series are guaranteed to brighten up your mood.
As someone who also has FF 6, 9 and Chrono Trigger on his personal list of greatest games of all time, and is currently a Falcom addict, I have to agree. If you loved FF 6, 7, 9 and 10, Dragon Quest 5 and 8, and Chrono Trigger back in the day, you will absolutely LOVE Ys and trails today. Daybreak was my most eagerly anticipated new thing of 2024, by a lot.
You need to play the Shadow Hearts games, the second, and best, Shadow Hearts: Covenant features a pro-wrestling vampire who finds his weapons in the environment, a wolf who fights other dogs to learn new abilities, a puppeteer who gains skills by getting dresses for his doll, and even had Rasputin as one if the main villains
Amazing games, storytelling is top in these games. I hate say this cliché line, but I so genuinely find these games so underrated. I really wish for a HD remaster of these.
Developed by the same people who made Lost Odyssey. I haven't played this, but when I get a Steam Deck, this is #1 on my list. I prefer to play portably (Switch has been a blessing).
@@TysonGiffordMEYea, I own this for PS2, but I can't see myself playing on a PS2. If not a Steam deck, a PC with a PS2 controller adapter Koudelka for PS1 as well, same developers.
Xenogears... This was my very first RPG at 13 years of age. This was the game I asked for for my birthday that year and I have been a fan ever since and nowadays I play almost nothing but RPG and JRPG type video games and I have to say that this game was ahead of time in just about every way!? The musical score is simply amazing!! The two different types of combat add a fresh variety to a game genre that can get stale from time to time, but the story and the characters are characters and events that once you experience this game, you will remember those memories will stay with you and you will never forget!!! Such an incredible game !!!
Xenogears is definitely #1 on my list. I love it so much so that it would be #1,2, and 3 on my list because it's that much better than everything else, in my opinion, of course. If I were to win the lottery, my 2nd purchase after my dream home is to somehow fund a remake. I'll happily pay any of the copyright fees.
*Shining Force 3* I noticed a lot of tactics games on your list, and like you Awakening is my favourite Fire Emblem. But try Shining Force 3 Scenarios #1-3. Scenario 3 specifically is my favourite tactics game. It's like Golden Sun and Fire Emblem had an N64 baby. It's basically perfect! You do need to play Scenarios #1 & #2 first, and you will be able to import character weapons and stats when you start Scenario 3.
@@zeusapollo6504 I haven't played IV yet, but I played VI. I loved VI, but the PS1 FF's IMO were peak FF. My point was it's a pretty massive update. There are elevation changes in scenario 3, and with character data being imported between games the scope of the project is much, much bigger. I really loved SF3, Camelot put more effort into this game than any other game. It felt like their swan song for Sega. Also side note, there is a spell where you summon a dragon and red/blue light flash on the screen repeatedly. It felt like the scene in Simpsons where Bart & Lisa got seizures in their Japan trip episode. I've never had a seizure playing a video game, but I swear it was very possible with this summon I dub "Seizure Dragon." They changed the colour sequence in scenario's 2&3, I assume because people got seizures in scenario 1.
In what world does Diamond and Pearl, HG, SS NOT make the list? In what world is it “too many Pokemon games”? Diamond and Pearl with the varying changes to the series, especially to how it set up the competitive scene to what it is today was profound. HG/SS really showed what a remake should be. I would even argue in terms of the lore and narrative wise, Black and Whife should have made the list as it transitioned to a more darker story which was well implemented within the region that was Unova. If Scarlet and Violet hadn’t had as much technical issues, I’d have Scarlet/Violet in the top 3 games of the series due to how good the writing and story was. One of the hallmarks of a good JRPG is storytelling and Pokemon B/W and Scarlet/Violet nailed it.
I'm sorry, Diamond/Pearl are the low point of the Pokemon franchise. Red/Blue and Gold/Silver are the best Pokemon because only they include the original 230 Pokemon (They couldn't fit them all into Red/Blue). They also have the best Pokemon, why are there no more Fire Lizard starters? Dual type starters was a bad idea in gen 3/4. Black/White is my #3, but some of the Pokemon were really lame. A Fire Pig and...a Leaf? Victini, Genesect, and the dragon legendaries are amazing, but the 3 Goats and storms are......lame. Franchise has gotten better, but they need to put more effort into the Pokemon.
@@michaelp4122 black and white had the worst Pokémon in the franchise. Diamond/pearl is either my favorite or second favorite. Fire red and leaf green is the same thing. I love fire red leaf green more than the og ones just qol improvements For the third best it’s either emerald or x/y
Kinda bummed out Dragon Quest 11 didn't make it to the list. That game tooked the series into an evolution by upgrading hardware, while still keeping it's formula. With fun worlds, interesting plots, memorable characters and gameplay still being traditional, yet still compelling, Dragon Quest 11 is an excellent example of how every RPG should stay in it's formula. Although I am glad Dragon Quest 8 is in the list. That game is still fantastic.
Trails of Cold Steel 1 and 2 (Sen no Kiseki) are by far my favourites. 3 and 4 are also nice but have definite shortcomings. Other favourites would be Shadow Hearts 2, Arc the Lad 2, Breath of Fire 3 and Tenchi Sozo to name a few. Still waiting for a new Ar Tonelico and having a Grandia remake in the same quality of Star Ocean 2 R would be very appreciated.
Don’t usually comment but just had to say I really resonated with you on Fire Emblem Awakening! I know it’s probably not the best Fire Emblem but I think it has a way of hooking itself in the right people and making a huge impact. Great list overall!
Look man, I know this is your list, and I don't know if you tried to name a lot of different games and series in order to have a diverse list, but there is NO WAY IN HELL that games like Pokemon, Triangle Strategy, Secret of Mana, Octopath Traveler, etc are better than FF10. The fact that many of those games (and others such Astral Chain lolwut?) are higher than FF9 is also very bizarre.

@@edulohay956 It is really special. The one negative I have is that the loading times when entering a battle are absolutely atrocious, one of the most egregious in final fantasy. You cannot play this game at normal speed.
I like how u explain the game and don't spoil it at the same time
Final Fantasy 9 is peak!!
FF9 is my Nr.1, a meaningful masterpiece like no other

Completely agree. I think it's a gaping black hole in a otherwise good list.
In short - It's close, but no cigar...
He put Chrono Trigger as #1, so cut him some slack. He doesn't even have Golden Sun on this list.
He got XenoGears, Fire Emblem Awakening and Dragon Quest VIII on the list.
@@michaelp4122 >Golden Sun? It should be on the WORST JRPGs ever list.
@@vittoriopugliese3352Golden Sun, the handheld JRPG with a 91% metacritic, literally higher than any other dedicated handheld JRPG (2nd only to Fire Emblem Awakening at 92%).
You think that is the worst?
Really? Very few JRPG's have a metacritic above 90%+ FFVII Remake only has an 87% and VII Rebirth is only 92%.
The highest rated Ys is only 85% (Ys VIII). The highest Trails game is 83% (Trails in the Sky the 3rd).
If you think Golden Sun is the worst JRPG, then you simply don't like JRPG's.
@@michaelp4122 I love Golden Sun but if it's necessary in a list then it should be in the Ugliest JRPG's of All Time. It looks really bad and I already thought that when it came out. Still, you guys cry too much about not having your favs on the list when you surely haven't played all of the games in this list. You don't have to play all of them to make a list and maybe he just didn't play any Ys, Trails game till the end.
Including Triangle Strategy but no spot for Final Fantasy Tactics or Tactics Ogre is pretty much objectively wrong (subjectively, of course 😉)
triangle strategy was way too restrictive for my taste
OJ! Love and respect your list! I was surprised not to see Legend of Dragoon, Star Ocean 2, and Golden Sun. I’m sure you have buy if you haven’t played any of them. I’m sure you would love them!
Golden Sun is criminally overrated. A 4 out of 10 to me
legend of Dragoon is awesome but it gets no love. golden sun and dark age together is amazing
I'm really missing the Legends of Heroes series (Trails in the sky, Trails from Zero, Trails in Azure, Trails of Cold Steel I-IV etc). Totally agree with FE three houses and Persona 5 Royal
I love that Astral Chain was added to this list!
He adds it in almost every list 😂 Gotta try the game if it's so amazing
Chrono Trigger can't be beaten at this point. I tried introducing this game to people who never played it or heard of it. No hype, just "Hey, try this old game out". The results were what I expected. After an hour, they are hooked. After a day they can't drop it.
Just curious, how old are the ppl you're introducing it to? Or have they had experience with more snes-era games? I'm 25 and wondering if I could enjoy it. Only game I've played from snes era is A Link to the Past, and some parts of it were kinda difficult/confusing for me without a detained guide.
@@giginoelani5880 Hi,
I am 30, so we are not that far. I played it on my PC when I was around 15.
Chrono Trigger is a bit interesting regarding difficulty. The game mechanics are not hard at all. Everything is intuitive. The game has 10+ endings, so you will eventually get a guide to finish it all. I wouldn't recommend starting with a guide. You will probably not find anything too difficult if you pay attention to the story and explore. I was captivated by the idea of time travel, so I would scan every corner of the game in the present and past to see how it changed and why.
The game has a few major endings, and the most important choices are made in the second half of the game. I can't stress enough how important it is to pay attention. One of the most important choices in the game is completely optional and you can go to the final boss without doing it. That changes the ending.
A link to the past is probably harder in terms of following things even if you pay attention, so you will probably be ok with CT.
The game has a lot of "optional" quests and storylines. You can even kill a major character and it cuts you from an amazing storyline. The game has a lot of replayability.
If you decide to play it, the Steam version is probably your best option. It was horrible on release, but it's fine now. The remaster was well done and faithful. You can pick the original instead of the remaster too.
When you start a new game, you can choose "active" or "wait". Active makes the enemy attack you if you take too long on your "turn". It makes the combat more than just turn-based. I only play on active, but you should try both. Wait could be better early on so you can get used to the game.
The mini-map has no combat and no random attacks when you are exploring.
I mentioned how the most important choices are in the second half, but a lot of what you do will have interesting effects on the game and the story. Even your behavior during the opening of the game (The Millenium Fair) has a very cool effect on the story a few hours in.
I already wrote too much, so I will stop. I suggest you do a blind first run. The soundtrack is as amazing as the game itself, so enjoy. The team who made it was not called "The Dream Team" for nothing.
I haven't played through it yet but so far the game is underperforming in almost every area. Story, characters, dialogue. I can't remember when I've been so bored with a game. A huge disappointment for the hype surrounding it. Maybe the problem is that I'm used to good story, dialogue, interesting characters, fun gameplay in CRPGs.
I really have to force myself to keep playing. Perhaps the story will be interesting somewhere.
Maybe the people you recommended to play chrono trigger never played anything but candy crush, or boomers who only know the Super Mario bros.
@@TisztaVizet-1 The game is a classic for a reason. if you don't like it, the problem is with you. It's either not your kind of game or you are too influenced by the hype to enjoy the game.
Some people can't get used to older JRPGs and their combat. CT had a lot of innovation in combat, defining what came next. I wonder how many JRPGs you played before? Anyone who likes the old Final fantasy, old Zelda or Secret of Mana will probably love CT.
It makes no sense to evaluate the game based on "rpgs" from today, they are a different genre.
As for the story, it goes like this at the start (with minimal spoiler):
- The game introduces the world and the millennium fair. It's a slow start.
- The game introduces time travel. The mystery surrounding the queen and marle is quickly introduced. That should grip you for a bit.
- You finish the ""past" storyline and goes to "???". I won't spoil it if you didn't reach this part yet. This new place has a lot of questions and mysteries, if you are not intrigued by now this game is probably not for you. This is where the game presents you with the main storyline.
I wonder how deep you are into the game. Like a lot of older games, this game doesn't throw you in the middle of a super complex situation. It starts slow and grows. It has a lot of small things it presents to you and invites you to explore.
@@freedomextremist7215 I like rpg, can be crpg or jrpg. I don't mind the retro feel and look, because I loved undertale, stardew valley, and those are not beautiful games either. My problem with Chrono Trigger is neither that it's an rpg nor the mechanics of the game. The problem is that in the 10 hours so far nothing has happened that is above mediocre. Both the story the characters and the writing are shallow. I also don't feel anything outstanding or unique about the world the game opens up to me. Probably my problem is that I feel the story, characters and dialogues are made for 12 year old children. After a Planescape Torment, Baldur's Gate 1,2,3, Witcher 1,2,3 etc. one has expectations for the quality of story, characters, text. After a Yakuza, or Persona 4 etc there is a level to what I say is fun. And after Darksouls 1,2,3, Disco Elysium, Journey etc. there is a level at which I say the game has an "outstanding atmosphere". Of course, in 1995 these games didn't exist yet, so in the absence of stimulus, Chrono Trigger might have been considered epic in those days. With 10 hours of playtime now I feel that this is no longer true with today's demands.
Before oil was a huge deal China, middle eastern countries, etc became really rich off of salt. It's also critical to surviving in a dry and hot environment since it helps the body retain moisture. Also, triangle strategy is the next thing to a FF Tactics remake imo. Awesome game
Great top 25 list, although there’s a few RPG franchises missing, especially with the trails of/Kiseki/Legend of Heroes series but outside of that top notch, although Xenogears is in my top 10 and would have been in my top 5 if not for what happened with the budget and the second disk debacle.
One day OJ when your old as dust you’ll get down on this series and fall in love with it lol. Even then though Xeno series is peak RPG franchise still, imo.
Great top 25 mate
Nice list. I urge you to play Suikoden 2
It’s a fantastic game, and judging by your list, I would say it’s right up your alley. Cheers
I love how you did the time stamp descriptions.
I haven't played many JRPG's, so my list has literally all I played from the genre:
1. Persona 5 Royal
2. Final Fantasy X
3. Persona 4 Golden
4. Final Fantasy 7
5. Nier Automata
6. Final Fantasy 12
7. Yakuza: Like a Dragon
8. Final Fantasy 13
I'm more into western RPGs, but I still consider the Persona games, FFX and FF7 to be some of my favorite games of all time in general.
Persona and Yakuza are really good yep
I love classic and new JRPG games. Final Fantasy , Nier Automata , Pokémon , Persona and so much more. I love JRPG's. Cool video. ^_^
Great list and taste, I bet at least 15 of these games would make my top 25.
My favourite RPGs are #1 Xenogears, #2 Chrono Trigger, #3 Witcher 3, #4 FF4, 6, 7, 8, and X, #5 Skies of Arcadia.
'Beat Em and Eat Em' for Atari couldn't crack your top 5?
witcher is a jrpg? news to me
@@dizzlegrizzle1919 Nor did I say it was.
Great video! Lots of nostalgia. Surprised you had so many Pokémon games, but can't fault the list. Keep it up OJ!
I’m so happy to see Final Fantasy 10 on this list… even if you put it on number 25 since I would put it number 1 on my personal list. The best story with such amazing games as its themes and messages spoke to me on a personal list
FF6 is still the best FF game. Also Chrono Trigger is a classic that deserves so much better.
Illegitimate list. 25 opportunities to place any of the tales series games or kingdom hearts titles and not a peep. I could make another 25 list with just those two franchises beating all the fire emblems and xeno games.
25. Tales of Hearts
24. Kingdom Hearts Coded
23. Tales of Xillia
22. Tales of Phantasia
21. Kingdom Hearts Union X Cross
20. Tales of Graces
19. Kingdom Hearts Missing Link
18. Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories
17. Tales of Zestiria
16. Tales of Innocence
15. Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep
14. Tales of Destiny 2
13. Tales of Rebirth
12. Tales of Berseria
13. Kingdom Hearts 3D Dream Drop Distance
12. Tales of Eternia
11. Tales of Destiny
10. Kingdom Hearts 258/2 Days
9. Tales of Arise
8. Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World
7. Kingdom Hearts III
6. Tales of Legendia
5. Tales of Symphonia
4. Kingdom Hearts
3. Tales of Vesperia
2. Kingdom Hearts II
1. Tales of the Abyss
Yes I HAVE played every single one of these (beaten all the kingdom hearts ones)
But for the record, he did rightfully place final fantasy x, vi, ix, and vii on the list. I would added xii and xvi
Fantastic list and I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed hearing your rationale for the placement of each title. I need to check out a LOT of these! Just getting back into JRPGs after a looooong time away.
Amazing video, thanks man. I don't really play JRPGs, but you inspired me to give some a try. I've been wanting to play Xenogears and the Xenoblade trilogy.
Fire Emblem Three Houses is a great introduction to JRGPs.
It's really good and detailed but really user friendly. RPG elements are treated without rush and the teaching part of the gameplay is very intuitive.
Xenoblade is a really good series but do know they all do take a few hours to really going and while in this list future redeemed is bundled with 3 you MUST Play future redeemed after all 3 since the plot is made to answer most mysteries from the trilogy while you can play 3 first if you're fine with missing out some references.
Fire emblem was the first RPG I ever played on the GameCube & at the time I did not care for Strategy RPG type games... All of the changed after I played that Amazing game!!! It was so good!
The first XC is by far the best game in the series, two or three never reached that level of story telling, and those Prison Island cut scenes are amongst the best in all of gaming. Also, the time the first game came out was more impressive, the game was stunning for a Wii game.
Fire emblem path of radiance was one of the only few games I had and beat from the GameCube at the time of it release! I had never been really big into strategy type games myself and I used to watch a buddy of mine play the game and think it was so boring... I could not have been more wrong when I finally gave it a fair shot myself and absolutely could not stop playing it!!! Once it gets the hook in you, you absolutely can't stop playing it. Is that good!!
Crazy how people are saying you're crazy for your preferences lol. This is an amazing list that proves you're a solid jrpg fan. I also love the astral chain mention. Such an underrated game. I how platinum follows through with the sequal they mentioned years ago.
You a real one for giving fire red and leaf green some love. Those are my favorite Pokémon games and I think all the other ones get mentioned over them
I completely agree, FRLG are some of the most underrated entries in the mainline series
So many great rpgs not enough time. Really great list of a variety of rpgs!
Nice list my guy! Love videos like this. You convinced me to give Xenoblade 2 a try. I’ve been on the fence because of the missed reception but I know what it’s like to love a game for its strengths even with flaws.
Great list! Some of my other favorites not on the list are FF7 Rebirth, Persona 4 Golden, and Live A Live
P4 golden is in my top 3 nice
I love the way this dude talks about games, reminds me of why I love playing them
Final Fantasy IX and Chrono Trigger will be forever my number 1 ❤
OG you really need to start playing the Trails and Ys series. You owe that to yourself. I know it's a big time investment to catch up but given your tastes so far, there is no way that you will not love these franchises.
If he wants a taste of both series in one game, he can also try Tokyo Xanadu eX+. Granted - It's not a great and impressive as the Trails or Ys series, but at least it give a "taste". By the way - The next Tokyo Xanadu game is in development, and I am happy for that.
Another game series to try is the Atelier series (and Blue Reflection series) from Gust. Also - Not at the impressive level of the Trails or Ys series, but if you are a bit burned out by heavy and sometimes dark games, the Atelier series are guaranteed to brighten up your mood.
As someone who also has FF 6, 9 and Chrono Trigger on his personal list of greatest games of all time, and is currently a Falcom addict, I have to agree. If you loved FF 6, 7, 9 and 10, Dragon Quest 5 and 8, and Chrono Trigger back in the day, you will absolutely LOVE Ys and trails today. Daybreak was my most eagerly anticipated new thing of 2024, by a lot.
You need to play the Shadow Hearts games, the second, and best, Shadow Hearts: Covenant features a pro-wrestling vampire who finds his weapons in the environment, a wolf who fights other dogs to learn new abilities, a puppeteer who gains skills by getting dresses for his doll, and even had Rasputin as one if the main villains
Amazing games, storytelling is top in these games. I hate say this cliché line, but I so genuinely find these games so underrated. I really wish for a HD remaster of these.
@@riyuphoenix4533 well we do have that spiritual successor from Kickstarter
Developed by the same people who made Lost Odyssey.
I haven't played this, but when I get a Steam Deck, this is #1 on my list. I prefer to play portably (Switch has been a blessing).
@@michaelp4122 I'm hoping it hits the switch successor... If not, PC for me
@@TysonGiffordMEYea, I own this for PS2, but I can't see myself playing on a PS2. If not a Steam deck, a PC with a PS2 controller adapter
Koudelka for PS1 as well, same developers.
Xenogears...
This was my very first RPG at 13 years of age. This was the game I asked for for my birthday that year and I have been a fan ever since and nowadays I play almost nothing but RPG and JRPG type video games and I have to say that this game was ahead of time in just about every way!?
The musical score is simply amazing!! The two different types of combat add a fresh variety to a game genre that can get stale from time to time, but the story and the characters are characters and events that once you experience this game, you will remember those memories will stay with you and you will never forget!!!
Such an incredible game !!!
Watching the player delete Thunder Wave instead if Thundershock when Pikachu learned Thunderbolt was painful
Kudos on the list, OJ.
Great list!
Your top pick is spot on!
Xenogears is definitely #1 on my list. I love it so much so that it would be #1,2, and 3 on my list because it's that much better than everything else, in my opinion, of course. If I were to win the lottery, my 2nd purchase after my dream home is to somehow fund a remake. I'll happily pay any of the copyright fees.
Great list, great work! I have basically finished all the ones on the list...except the pokémon games.
I only clicked it to see if Skies of Arcadia would get mentioned. You have validated my viewing. Thank you Sir.
*Shining Force 3*
I noticed a lot of tactics games on your list, and like you Awakening is my favourite Fire Emblem.
But try Shining Force 3 Scenarios #1-3. Scenario 3 specifically is my favourite tactics game. It's like Golden Sun and Fire Emblem had an N64 baby. It's basically perfect!
You do need to play Scenarios #1 & #2 first, and you will be able to import character weapons and stats when you start Scenario 3.
only played SF 1+2 and they were allready really great.
@@zeusapollo6504 SF3 is significantly better. It's like playing FFVII after only playing FF IV before.
FF IV is pure love, tho.
@@zeusapollo6504 I haven't played IV yet, but I played VI. I loved VI, but the PS1 FF's IMO were peak FF.
My point was it's a pretty massive update. There are elevation changes in scenario 3, and with character data being imported between games the scope of the project is much, much bigger.
I really loved SF3, Camelot put more effort into this game than any other game. It felt like their swan song for Sega.
Also side note, there is a spell where you summon a dragon and red/blue light flash on the screen repeatedly. It felt like the scene in Simpsons where Bart & Lisa got seizures in their Japan trip episode. I've never had a seizure playing a video game, but I swear it was very possible with this summon I dub "Seizure Dragon." They changed the colour sequence in scenario's 2&3, I assume because people got seizures in scenario 1.
Too many pokemons and I don't love the order, but this is one of the best lists I've ever seen. You got most of my top jrpgs in here.
In what world does Diamond and Pearl, HG, SS NOT make the list? In what world is it “too many Pokemon games”?
Diamond and Pearl with the varying changes to the series, especially to how it set up the competitive scene to what it is today was profound. HG/SS really showed what a remake should be.
I would even argue in terms of the lore and narrative wise, Black and Whife should have made the list as it transitioned to a more darker story which was well implemented within the region that was Unova. If Scarlet and Violet hadn’t had as much technical issues, I’d have Scarlet/Violet in the top 3 games of the series due to how good the writing and story was.
One of the hallmarks of a good JRPG is storytelling and Pokemon B/W and Scarlet/Violet nailed it.
Ffx as the worst game of the best games makes me really not think so personally
In general I don’t really agree with his picks only a very few were games I liked putting Pokémon games above ffx is just bad
I'm sorry, Diamond/Pearl are the low point of the Pokemon franchise.
Red/Blue and Gold/Silver are the best Pokemon because only they include the original 230 Pokemon (They couldn't fit them all into Red/Blue). They also have the best Pokemon, why are there no more Fire Lizard starters?
Dual type starters was a bad idea in gen 3/4.
Black/White is my #3, but some of the Pokemon were really lame. A Fire Pig and...a Leaf? Victini, Genesect, and the dragon legendaries are amazing, but the 3 Goats and storms are......lame.
Franchise has gotten better, but they need to put more effort into the Pokemon.
@@michaelp4122 black and white had the worst Pokémon in the franchise. Diamond/pearl is either my favorite or second favorite. Fire red and leaf green is the same thing. I love fire red leaf green more than the og ones just qol improvements For the third best it’s either emerald or x/y
Best game genre ever. My favs:
Nier Automata
FF 7
Xenogears
Xenosaga trilogy
FF 10
FF 6
FF 13
Chrono Trigger
Chrono Cross
Persona
Digital Devil Saga
Kinda bummed out Dragon Quest 11 didn't make it to the list. That game tooked the series into an evolution by upgrading hardware, while still keeping it's formula. With fun worlds, interesting plots, memorable characters and gameplay still being traditional, yet still compelling, Dragon Quest 11 is an excellent example of how every RPG should stay in it's formula.
Although I am glad Dragon Quest 8 is in the list. That game is still fantastic.
Great list; interesting remark about salt. Thank you!
That's a nice list!
I liked a lot of those games (well almost 20 of those i have played).
My favorites
1. FF7 (original)
2.Earthbound
3.Super Mario RPG (original)
4.Chrono Trigger
5.EverQuest
6.Dark Souls
Really cool list. Your #1 is actually my fave game of all time.
I'm surprised you don't have Suikoden II on Playstation on your list. That game is definitely one of the best ever.
Guess its not a GOAT kind of list, but rather "the games only he played list"
Final Fantasy VI is my personal favorite. I’d add Suikoden 2, Shining Force 2, and Earthbound though.
Xenogers, xenoblade 2 , FF IX, POKEMON soul silver, Octopath , chrono trigger, Xeno 1, xeno3 DLC, spectacular list
Trails of Cold Steel 1 and 2 (Sen no Kiseki) are by far my favourites. 3 and 4 are also nice but have definite shortcomings. Other favourites would be Shadow Hearts 2, Arc the Lad 2, Breath of Fire 3 and Tenchi Sozo to name a few. Still waiting for a new Ar Tonelico and having a Grandia remake in the same quality of Star Ocean 2 R would be very appreciated.
Glad to see Xenogears on there, it's definitely one of the most epic ones
Such an epic list OJ, and of course I'm so glad to see all 3 mainline Xenoblade games in here!
Suikoden I & II are two of the best JRPG. Full of stories, side quests, and fun!!
Radiant Historia: Perfect Chronology should definitely be on this list!
When the Chrono Trigger remake ultimately comes, in whatever form, I hope it does the original game justice
Don’t usually comment but just had to say I really resonated with you on Fire Emblem Awakening! I know it’s probably not the best Fire Emblem but I think it has a way of hooking itself in the right people and making a huge impact. Great list overall!
Look man, I know this is your list, and I don't know if you tried to name a lot of different games and series in order to have a diverse list, but there is NO WAY IN HELL that games like Pokemon, Triangle Strategy, Secret of Mana, Octopath Traveler, etc are better than FF10. The fact that many of those games (and others such Astral Chain lolwut?) are higher than FF9 is also very bizarre.
I paused the video when I saw that Nier:Automata is 23th .. just to look into comments, maybe I'm missing something.
Wow, butthurt fan hahahahaha. Are you often butthurt at peoples opinions in real life as you are behind a screen and keyboard?
Really fun list and full of amazing choices! I'd love to hear what your top 25 characters are now!
My list of the best jrpg of all time i have played
15 kingdom hearts birth by sleep
14 kingdom hearts 2
13 final fantasy 10
12 vagrant story
11 final fantasy 9
10 skies of arcadia
9 suikoden 1
8 persona 5 royal
7 triangle strategy
6 final fantasy tactics
5 breath of fire 3
4 Suikoden 2
3 final fantasy 7
2 chrono trigger
1 final fantasy 6
Very good list. I'm surprised there is no games from the Trails series though!
Loved the list and of course the 1st place. Chrono Trigger is my favorite game of all time. What a master piece!
I just purchased Xenoblade 3 that is just sitting in shelf, because I’m in the middle of my first final fantasy game (9), which I’m really liking… I’m discovering a lot more of this genre that I never really got much deep into… Before this I was only familiar with Pokémon and Fire Emblem games…
Great video as always OJ!!
Final Fantasy IX is my favorite game of all time. Glad it made the list.
Love your videos !! Thank you for the effort you put on them !
Sweet topic man, thanks
Great list.
ff7/ff8/ff9/smrpg/grandia/legend of dragoon/suikoden1/2/ff10/ff12/csotn/ and bunch of others are top 10 before anything from nintendo monolith
Great video! I was hoping to see 1 N64 or Saturn game there but there you go.
Very solid top 3. I disagree with a few titles and placements, but it's a good list!
Great video! Makes me wanna go back to my backlog .
I will always play final fantasy X. For me, It's the perfect videogame. ❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
Skies of Arcadia definitely needs a rerelease in some form. More people need to play that game.
I was happy watching this till the end. I was worried and told myself "where is Chrono Trigger??" This video did not disappoint.
I remember the first time I played FF X on my ps2, I didn't realize when the intro ended and the game started, it was an awesome feeling.
great list, you know ball fr.
Great list, man! Here's mine, only one game per series just for fun:
1. Final Fantasy IX
2. Tales of Symphonia
3. Chrono Trigger
4. Suikoden 2
5. Xenogears
6. Pokemon Gold/Silver
7. Fire Emblem The Sacred Stones
8. Shin Megami Tensei Persona 4
9. Radiant Historia
10. Lost Odyssey
I am about to beat ff9, trying to beat it before thousand year door
It’s a great game
How was it? I just started FF VI and the next one is 9. Really high hopes for it.
@@edulohay956 It is really special. The one negative I have is that the loading times when entering a battle are absolutely atrocious, one of the most egregious in final fantasy. You cannot play this game at normal speed.
@@arnavmekala4578 oh so you are playing the original Ps1 version i assume? I think its fixed in later versions such as steam, ps4 and xbox.
@@edulohay956 oh no I am playing the remaster. The loading screen into the battles are still around 5-10 seconds long
Awesome first choice
