Well, most JRPG fans I know agree that the best JRPGs are in the past generations. So if you're not willing to go back, even if you do get into this genre (and by looking at your game collection, I doubt you will), you won't be experiencing the true gems it has to offer.

How far back should I go?

At least 2 gens. 3 would be asking too much I think.

@Khuutra: I know I'm coming off a little judgemental and xenophobic, but wouldn't you agree that most gems of the genre are at past gens?
