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?

I only played bits. The best RPG ever in my opinion is Xenogears, so i could definitly see it. I liked the little i played, but the graphics were very dated and there were no mech, so i doubt it would be better than Xenogears, but i admit the possibility.

It needs an HD remake.

The Dolphin emulator makes it look really good. But you're right on both counts. Xenoblade Chronicles is not better than Xenogears by a very wide margin. Xenogears is the best RPG ever thought of.

In addition to Xenoblade Chronicles, I'll add:

Ico
No More Heroes
Nier
