Final hints for these.

43- One of the surprise entries from 2022. While an extremely easy game with its strategical gameplay, still it had quite the interesting story and some of its design choices were used in FFXVI.

Honestly this game could have been a FF game, but instead had its own lore. The continent in the game is featured in the title.

The game released on all major platforms in 2022, and features music from composers who worked on Game of Thrones.

The mercenary company you work for has 4 leaders, Andrias Rhondarson, a royal bodyguard who knows ancient sorcery, Fredret Lester, his childhood friend, Iscarion Colchester, an archer and former noble, and Waltaquin Redditch, a mage noblewoman.

41- This is my cheat JRPG, because it is more strategy than JRPG (thus loses spots on my top 50 JRPG list) but you can still level up your army in battle.

In order to level up, you must deal the finishing blow, and the game can be quite difficult, so you can't really make a certain unit stronger and one weaker as all units available will be needed in every battle. But you can team up on enemies, so sharing the last bits of an enemy by surrounding them can be effective.

set in 3 kingdoms China, unlike other games made by the publisher, this game featured a story with a lot more imagination, with the 2 main characters fighting over a woman they probably never met historically.

Also more imagined is the fact that the strategist characters can fly up into the air and use magic.

Got busy with life and stuff so I am playing catch up..

43 is The Diofield Chronicle.

41 is Kessen 2

Hints for 40-33 JRPGs

40- Tactical JRPG set in China. 1st game in the series.

39- 15th game in the series for a certain JRPG series. Features boy band as main characters.

38- A PSP game gone HD, this game features a main story with an entire classroom of characters named in some way after a deck of cards.

37- 2nd game in a tactical JRPG series. The main character uses fists unlike most main characters in the series.

36- An amazing game released in 2023, features insanely cinematic boss fights and darker story compared to usual.

35- This game mixes a famous JRPG series and Dynasty Warriors, killing hordes of JRPG monsters never felt so good.

34- Same as 35, but 2nd game in the series. Basically more of the same but slightly better.

33- This 2022 game tries to mix the challenge of Soulslike with the familiarity of FF.

#39: FFXV

#36: Probably FFXVI

#35: Hyrule Warriors, even though I don't see Zelda as JRPG, see 34 for explanation.

#34: I thought of Persona Strikers as #35. But I don't think Strikers has a sequel yet. So maybe you count Zelda as JRPG? Which would make it Age of Calamity
