What are your favorite role-playing games from Japan? That interests me. I do have 38 Japanese role-playing games for various systems. Overall, i have 8 consoles / handhelds. In my life I've played about 50 rpg. Japanese RPGs are just wonderful, right? Here is my list:

1.Persona 4 ! I love it. True friends, finding the meaning of life,  special experiences in combination with real life and fantasy-world.. so fantastic story, likeable and interesting characters, great gameplay and a thousand other things.

It was an incredible experience in my life. Even a few friends who have nothing to do with Japanese games, find it great. P4 <3

2. Dragon Quest 8 for PS2. The game is huge. I have over 260 hours of play in DQ8. Great soundtracks that I still hear today. I hope the rumors of a new main section on console are true. I want a wide and beautiful Dragon Quest for console.

 

3. Two months ago I first played Persona 3.

Persona 3 is a dark RPG . You fight with your group and friends to survive. A truly emotional end that I will never forget. My favourite caracters are: Akihiko Sanada, Aigis, Junpei and Mitsuru : )

My last JRPGs that I played were: Ni No Kuni for PS3.

My TOP Most Wanteds JRPGs are: Persona 5 and Final Fantasy 15 for PS4.




Around the Network

1- xenoblade chronicles
2- chrono trigger



Suikoden 2 and 5 are the best. It's a shame that Konami is too much of a PUSSY to make number 6 now. I'd buy whatever console they make it on and so will a whole lot of fans.



Does Pokemon count as a JRPG?

Anyway mine is xenoblade and tales of symphonia



Chrono Cross



Around the Network

I'm afraid I've yet to play many of the most popular console and computer RPG games, but of what I've played Final Fantasy VI and Chrono Trigger rank the highest. Amazing art direction, stellar sound and music, interesting characters, engaging battle systems, and huge replay value.



1.   

This is the Final Fantasy that got me into JRPGs, I did play FFVII (my first Final Fantasy game) but X had a much better stroy and the advantage of voice over.  I'm not sure any series or single game will ever top FFX (maybe KH3 or FFXV?)

 

2.

Kingdom Hearts has great story, music, characters, and combat almost everything is perfect about the series and KH2 being the best one imo.

 

3. 

Alos pretty new to the Fire Emblem series, Awakening is such a great game that it is my favorite 8th gen game so far. 

 

4.  

The story was great ( a trend you'll see) the characters felt like you actually could get attached to them and the combat was traditional turn based (which I love)

 

5.  

I'm kind of new to the series but I loved Star Ocean the Last Hope, the story was really good imo and I don't get why it gets so much hate. 



1. Final Fantasy VIII
2. Chrono Cross
3. Xenoblade Chronicles
4. Dragon Quest V (PS2)
5. Lufia 2 (SNES)
