I didn't play many jrpgs last gen. Don't really know why as they have traditionally been one of my favorite genres. By default I guess I would have to go with FFXIII as the best, but only because the only other one I distinctly remember was Ni No Kuni, which I despised.

 

Why did you despise it?

The pacing in the first couple hours was just way too dull for me.  The premise seemed fine, the art style was fantastic, I just felt like it was a chore to actually move through the world and get to the next point of interest.
