Gaming - 100 Good JRPGs - View Post

 Except for maybe one games, all the games in this list will be us releases.  It's also listed sort of listed like a top 100, so not exactly my opinion of a top 100, but give or take 5-10 places.  I do have a few, but didn't include most action games where RPG is the sub genre, like Ys Oath in Felghana, Demon's Souls, etc.  

As I play other games or remember games that I've missed adding maybe I'll update the list.  Maybe include a seperate list of games that got knocked off the list and a list of popular games that I really didn't like.  Might also add a video showing gameplay of each game.
