First of all were talking about jrpgs and not srpgs right?

The three most important elements in a jrpg is story, characters, and gameplay. With story and characters being slightly more important.

It has to have all three to be good.

1.) Suikoden II - This game has the least dumbest storyline I have seen in a jrpg. With the least amount of cliches. With the least amount of stupid characters. With the least amount of corny moments. With the least amount of plot holes.

With an antagonist that is better than every FF antagonist combined (If Delita doesn't count). Thankfully the plot never revolves around saving the world. An absolute miracle in the realm of jrgps.

2.) Xenogears - It actually has some nice developed well rounded characters. The characters actually are somewhat psychologically believeable. It has some very interesting antagonists. While cliched, its less cliched and less stupid than most if not all other jrpgs.

3.) ....................

4.) .....................

5.) .....................

6.) .....................

7.) .....................

8.) .....................

9.) .....................

10.) ...................

Yeah, pretty sad list seeing how the rest of the jrpgs I played couldn't meet the three categories above.

redCloudJ7

As the antagonist, do you mean Jowy Atriedes or Luca Blight? Jowy is the true main antagonist.

Well, though i usually play WRPG, i do have a few JRPG's that i always come back to, love them a lot.

Xenogears (personal favorite)

Chrono Trigger

Final Fantasy VII

Final Fantasy IX

I play them from time to time, so i can make sure nostalgia doesn't blind me(it can easily happen to anyone). And their.. pretty much the greatest JRPG's ever made, for me. Always going to have time for them. And the funny thing is, i'm not even a anime fan.

I was honestly never a huge FF fan so that is why it is absent.

A Chrono Game is a MUST in all JRPG Lists.

I played alot, I can't classify 10 of them.

1- Chrono Trigger.

2- Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door.

3- Pokemon Gold/Silver.

lol another old thread. Anyways I'm not including SRPGs.

1. Chrono Trigger

2. Dragon Quest VIII

3. Final Fantasy X

4. Paper Mario: TTYD

5. Tales of Vesperia

6. Persona 3 FES

7. Persona 4

8. Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga

9. Grandia 2

10. Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne

Some games I really liked, dont feel like ranking them: Chrono Cross, Breath of Fire 4. Wild Arms 3, Persona 3, Skies of Arcadia, FF9.

Demons Souls

FF9

Legend of Mana

Valkyrie Profile

Lost Odyssey

Blue Dragon

FF7

FF10

Chrono Trigger

Tales of Vesperia

There are too many classics I haven't played yet, many of which I have on my shelf still in plastic wrapping, so I can't really make a proper top 10. However I think NIER would be close to the top.

some threads are timeless

1) FF9

2) FF7

3) FF8

4) FFX

5) FFXII

6) kingdom hearts 2

7) crono cross

8) kingdom hearts

9) legend of dragoon

10) xenogears

i played FF 1 to 6 but I never finished them the graphics just kills it for me, i can't stand sprites, even the ds version of FF 3 and 4 makes my eyes bleed

10. 999

Dgarl67
