Forums - Gaming - Most Underrated JRPG Game Of All Time

The answer is obviously Final Fantasy VII.

But in all seriousness, I'd go with Baten Kaitos. That series deserved to do so much better than it did. :(

Baten Kaitos series for sure.

Suikoden (not including 4 or tactics), Tales (not including legendia) and Grandia (not including extreme) series can be underrated by people sometimes.

Radiata Stories. Great game, characters, and storybook art style. The medieval art style reminded me alot of former FF games. Also you could collect characters for your friends. Create your own team parties with many characters. Also no emo storyline :P

 

 I agree. Radiata Stories was a great jrpg.



FFXII . (on this site anyway)

Legend of Legaia Series.



Boycotting the following:

1. Yoshi: He ate my car and spit out a toaster.

2. Igglybuff: Totally false advertisement. You can have as many as you like they don't buff nothing.

3. the Terms Hardcore/Softcore... We're talking Video Games. Not Porn.

4. The term Casual as relates to Gamers: We make them sound like outsider's that happen to play games.  If that were the case they'd own a PS3.

5. Donuts.... Beacause I drink Beer...... and the biggest fan of Donuts hates Beer.

6. Boycotts: Their so lame.

 

 

Chrono Cross-People seriously rag on this game too much. I understand why they were disappointed in the game but seriously, people think it is the most poorly designed game in the universe. Yet people never understood why critics gave this game high scores across the board in the first place during a time when they could be trusted.

I loved Chrono Cross.

I never said everyone hated it.  It's just that the haters are incredibly vocal.
