10 JRPGs That I Consider To Be A 10/10

As a big fire emblem fan icl awakening is super overrated by mainstream success like the charcaters are mid and the story is downright boring and written poorly however the gameplay is good which carries it for its high rating

You hit the nail on the head with tails of berseria. Easily the best tails game of all time.

NERD ALERT!!🚨

One word. Suikoden.

List was awful. Lost odyssey and xeno games yeah. But no ff 4 6 chrono trigger, breath of fire xeno gears so many better jrpgs

Dark Cloud is goated

Trails and Ys, obviously. Hahahaha, glad they were on your list! Ys VIII is one of my favourites of all time too. In fact, I have the warden symbol tattoo'ed on my wrist <3
Also glad to see Berseria on your list too. Of all the Tales games, Berseria is my personal favourite too. Arise is on par w/ Berseria for me though, too.

JRPGs feel like they're stuck in the 2000s. Of course there are exceptions, but most of them have the "if you're not already 100% invested, it'll feel like a chore". Biggest example is persona 5

as a newer FE fan, awakening was undoubtedly the one that got me hooked into the series. the characters the soundtrack the story the gameplay, I just had so much fun with it. it'll always have such a special place in my heart

Please, play nier automata if you didnt yet.

no chrono trigger? opinion instantly invalid

I did not enjoy Persona 5 - Once I got over the great style I did not enjoy the simple combat system and one-dimensional characters. The rest of the list is great, some good recommendations. I'll check these out! Nier is one of the best games of all time, glad to see it included.

Nier Automata still leaves me PTSD after all this year just by any mention of it.

The PTSD is not because the game is bad, but because I'm so attached to it, and follow the story so dearly

You chose Atelier Sofie 2 over Ryza's thighs

No way he said Xenoblade 2 has better gameplay than 3. Maybe that's just my opinion but that seems insane to me

XBC2, Nier Automata and Persona 5 Royal are literally my 3 favorite games of all time. May need to check out the rest on this list now since our tastes seem to align so much haha

these games sport more of a 6 and not a 10 on my scale, also your censorship of giving them numbers as chapters and not their names is a whole other pitiful way to artificially increase the time we need to spend on these videos

Echo of starsong is honestly phenomenal, amazing ost that I still listen to and the story was simply beautiful

The Mysterious series' always had my favorite version of alchemy.

The Arland series' alchemy sucks, and while I do enjoy the Secret series' alchemy; it just doesn't compare to the Mysterious alchemy minigame.

While Ryza 2 remains my favorite Atelier game, I'll admit that Sophie 2 is the only one that made me shed a tear (or multiple). It's definitely the best story from a modern Atelier game, but I do prefer the gameplay aspects and crafting from Ryza 2 more. Still overall an interesting choice and I do love Sophie 2.

I just think P4 is much better than P5. Better atmosphere better characters better music better story

What a werid list. Awakening? Dont agree, but understandable. Xenoblade 2? Come the fuck on.

None of these are 10s, and that Yves game isn't a jrpg. And the song you claimed was amazing is loud noise.

tales of berseria is my fav tales game

Stumbled upon this video randomly and I loved it! Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon are (mostly) lost in the Xbox 360 ether which is a shame since I think they're both good. Personally bounced off Xenoblade 2 a bunch of times but maybe I'll give it another shot, everyone seems to love it.

Xenoblade 2 was a fuckin masterpiece. But, 1 was even a bigger masterpiece, in terms of story. So, i suggest you all to start at 1. The story between 1 and 2 isnt directly connected, but you’ll understand the ending a bit more if you play 1 first. Oh yeah and torna is very amazing too, had a blast with that shit. Banger ost and story. Anyways, dont start playing 3 if you havent beaten 1 and 2 yet. Once again, its not a direct sequel (except the dlc, thats a sequel right there), but you’ll understand the story and the whole ordeal about whats going on better.

Dont forget Lunar! Lunar 2 eternal blue.

I was wondering if you've played Chrono Trigger or Suikoden 2?

Hard agree with Nier Automata being a masterpiece.

lost odyssey is available digitally as well on the series systems via backwards compatibility

Berseria is such a underrated game, story was amazing and all of the main cast was likable

Berseria is my favorite game of the Tales series! The cast is great, the story is awesome and the areas are diverse and look really good.

One thing I learned when checking out game is to always check "User Rating" and NOT "Critic Rating".

Good as they are, half of these games are left in the dirt by Chrono Trigger. It's the definition of "Timeless classic", and the time travel isn't the only reason why. Every aspect of the game is godly, from the OST to the art.

Correction about Lost Odyssey, it’s actually on the Xbox store. I was able to play through it on my Series S and yeah, it’s a great game

Out of the items in the list, I've played P5R (I already loved P5 and loved what they did to P5R), Fire Emblem Awakening (although I didn't beat the game; it got too tedious to me), Nier Automata (I've only progressed a little, though I also feel like I should replay the whole thing because I couldn't really digest the first hour) & Tales of Berseria (best story out of all Tales games I've played, which isn't much, but still; I also love the skits & the Tales-flavored Koikoi minigame).

When openinhg the video I thouught 'If P5R and Xenobkade 3 aren't here I'll be annoyed' and you didn't disappoint. Great video dude, some excellent series here, though i would persoanlly recommed Ni No Kuni 2 in here somewhere, since it holds a really special place in my heart. XC2 is great as well tho, it got me into the masterpiece that is xenoblade, but 3 will always be the best imo, the combat is just too damn amazing, rivalled only by P5R.
P.s It's really cool to see someone use the exact blade set up I used in 2, so big props for that

lost odyssey, all achievements for me

I really appreciate that for the most part you don't show end-game, or even mid-game footage when you do these reviews. A lot of reviews I have to scroll the video offscreen and just listen to the review, because they're loaded with footage of the best or most suprising parts of a game.

tales of arise not on the list. darn i love that game

How about The World Ends with you on the DS? That game was amazing

I recently played lost odyssey on the Xbox x and I did not need no disc. Just thought I'll let you guys know or maybe I should listen to the rest of the video before I cut this out but since you're reading this you know I didn't

haha xenoblade 2 is my fav too of the 3. at first i thought rex will annoy me, but he grew on me. i Wish they bring back even xenosage in a true remake. the story there was great as well.

I have Lost Oddisey for my Xbox Series X and it's still a blast

I love chrome trigger

Awakening stopped me from selling my 3ds. Thank god for the demo, now it's one of my favorite games. Its sucks none of the others have really hit afterwards. I haven't played echoes, couldn't get into fates, and the two switch ones don't do it for me. Three houses has too much persona busy work in it and the other makes me cringe. I hope there next game gets them back on track

xenoblade chronicles X

Persona 5 's characters... to me, they're so badly written, so insufferable. I did not find them relatable at all. It was so bad to me that I never actually finished the game. I am a little envious of the copious amounts of people who are able to love it. I wish I could. It looks so cool and the music is chef's kiss so I really tried hard to just keep going, hoping maybe the spark would come eventually for me too. But the characters and all of their dialogue and interactions were just too horrendous and it only got worse and worse so I gave up eventually. I cannot for the life of me imagine how anyone can sit through that game and feel that it's good writing they're being submitted to. But, I mean, I will also never understand how books like 50 Shades and Twilight wound up doing so well, either.

Dropped xbc2 after I had to google how to get to X area for the 100th times, the navigation is beyond trash and only fixed in xb3 and 1 remaster
