The first game that came to mind was Xenoblade: Chronicles. I've never played it, but I'm sure it really deserves a ton of praise. Even still, best JRPG of the generation? Best JRPG of all time?

If you havent played it, how would you know?

The same reason so many people praise and list games as good or bash and list games as bad despite never playing them and their opinions are solely based on popular opinion.  even when most times popular opinion of overlooked games is based on a whole bunch of people who haven't played the games just parroting what they've heard from others who may or may not have played the game.

Also.  The same  reason that many people who have played limited games in a genre make the assumption that such and such is one of the best games in the genre despite missing out on well over 100+ games in that genre that could be considered great.
