I don't think that ff mobile game count as an rpg. That chronus arc game also looks a bit decent, if you want real cookie cutter rpg maker games just look at Kemco's catalogue.

I don't mind the Kemco games. They fill the void of retro RPGs where I don't have to pay much attention to them. Buy them in sales though, never full price.

Some games in this list, like Sonic and Digimon, is far from definition "worst". They mediocre. And FF14 is not a JRPG at all. Its MMORPG, and there is are ton of bad god forsaken MMORPGs, it need to compare with them, not single player games.
Hydlide, Lagoon (SNES), Beyond Beyond (PS1), Blade and Blade (PS1) - these games, as example, is much worse, than some positions in this list.

your inclusion of FF14 (vers 1.0) seems like filler at best. First, it's not a JRPG. It's an MMORPG. Second, FF14 in its final form still exists and is a great game.
Also, you tarnish this list by including mobile games. Mobile games in general are terrible.
You could have added Shadow Madness (PS1), Hydlide series (multiple), Lagoon

Unlimited SaGa is probably one of the most disappointing RPGs for me personally when I played it because as a fan of the Romancing SaGa and SaGa Frontier games, I was hoping for something that might at least resemble them and instead got what was essentially a video board game that didn't play anything like those other games. While looking back at it much later, I don't loathe the game like a lot of players seem to, but I view the game as both a huge mistake and a missed opportunity in retrospect.
On the topic of JRPGs better left forgotten, I will give a mention of perhaps the most lowly regarded retro JRPG series, Hydlide. But maybe that is a series that deserves its own video because there is so much to say about the flaws of those games. While I do have the controversial opinion that Super Hydlide on the Genesis isn't as bad as most people make it out to be, that shouldn't be mistaken for saying it is anything resembling good. It's just that I think the original Hydlide and Virtual Hydlide are considerably worse than it. Super Hydlide is more of a poorly-playing sub-mediocre game with an awkward interface whereas the other Hydlide games are contenders for the single worst RPG (not just JRPG) ever made. 😆

Wow dude. What a weird list man. FF14 1.0 was fine, just not casual enough. The sonic game looks fun too. Digimon world 2 is also far from the worst jrpgs ever.

[@BatLB]

@@yonjiru4919 how can a game be fine but not succesful? Is that an honest question?
FF XIV 1.0 was a continuation of FFXI gameplay which just wasnt highly demanded during the success years of WoW. So they remade WoW as FF14 ARR instead to be more succesful.
Those who switched from FFXI liked FFXIV Classic. Average joe didnt.
