I've missed out, and haven't played a good portion of those games. But you're just furthering my need to play an RPG, so I'm going to dust off my PS2 and load up Persona 4.

I'd rate the first half of Xenogears even above final fantasy III. The second disc, however, is just >.>

Ooo, I've heard a lot about Xenogears but never played it. What is good/bad about?

FF7 was so awesome. I almost wish they made an MMO based off that game, because I just want to explore the world. It was fantastic. Midgar was such a cool city.

The music and story was great, too.

I remember having to upgrade my video card to play the PC version. The graphics were fantastic. The combat was great.

Pretty much everything about the game is win.

I usually don't care about these lists but I'm so glad I couldn't help but smile at your top 3.

Those are easily the best this world has to offer in terms of rpgs. Good man.

I disagree entirely.

Any rpg list without Fallout/Baldur's Gate/KOTOR is pretty much an empty space.

I intentionally left out all western RPG's because they are so different from Japanese RPGs

I think FF4 is far superior than FF3.

轩辕剑3外传 - 天之痕 trumps all of the games on that list though TBH.

And a few other Chinese RPGs (fairly similar to JPRGs in style I would say) would make it to the top 10.

no Baldur's Gate??? Ah I see, no Western RPGs.

I like your list though, thanks for putting the effort in to make it an interesting read.

If Final Fantasy 3 gets 10/10 for story, then Xenogears gets 11/10. It's intriguing, very intriguing. I simply couldn't stop playing because I wanted to find out all the mysteries. If you want to dig into the storyline, it's VERY intricate. The pacing is great, with fantastic interweaving of storyline with battles, such that you're never really stuck fighting too many battles, or too little. The fights are generally not frustrating, but there are certain points in the game that are harder than others, so you do get a challenge once in a while.

Speaking of battles, there's two major types. One where you fight as your regular character, and one where you fight inside a giant mecha. Also, there's this minigame where you fight other robots but not in the turn-based system but more of an action-sequence. It...wasn't the highlight of the game, but it's there, and completing it is part of the storyline.

If you're an RPG fan, you'll definitely need to play Xenogears, like, NOW. I don't like making assumptions but based on your taste (which is very close to mine), you'd definitely put Xenogears somewhere very high on your list.


P.S. Tales of Phantasia for the SNES is pretty epic too.

Fuck yes agree with the top 3 easily. Definitely my favourite top 3 as well.

I like almost all of the games you've chosen, but you've really got to consider how many JRPGs you haven't played and what era of games you're considering. For one thing, you have almost entirely 16-bit games on your list.

For one thing, I really disagree with how high you placed Lufia II. All of the improvements to the battle system were great - but with the tradeoff of a boring plot and repetitive block puzzles. I actually prefer the story/writing in Lufia I, though again it suffers from repetitive dungeon syndrome on top of how primitive it was compared to later SNES games. Also, no Tales of Phantasia or Secret of Mana? Play those two games if you haven't yet.

FF6 deserves to be on top, though. It was the crowning achievement of its generation.

I love FF3/6 so much... my favorite JRPG of all time. I buy every single Final Fantasy for the rest of my life because of that one game. Even though the new ones have SUCKED after FF7, I will continue to buy... just to show my loyalty to FF3/6!! <3
