Fire Emblem Awakening isn't a game that you can really "sway people's opinions" on, it's a very love it or hate it scenario. Fire Emblem fans hate it because of all of the new elements that don't fit the series (like pair-ups, marrying all of your units, having children, etc) as well as the abysmal writing and map design, while its fans love it mostly for the romance mechanics and being able to minmax the hell out of your units (which is another mechanic that doesn't really fit Fire Emblem).

I also only included one game per series. Like you, I was primarily a Nintendo kid, but I have actually played a lot of Sony console JRPGs and I'm of the opinion that aside from Squaresoft games, the consoles are a bit overhyped as far as RPGs go. So edgy, I know. 1. Mother 2 (Mother 3 would have been on the list too) 2. Undertale 3. South Park: The Stick of Truth 4. Fire Emblem 7 (Several other FEs would have made it) 5. Tactics Ogre: Let us Cling Together (Super Famicom version, developed by Quest) 6. Illusion of Gaia (Soul Blazer would have made the list) 7. Persona 5 (P4 also would have made it) 8. Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne (Strange Journey would have made it too) 9. Pokemon Black/White (insert whatever Pokemon you like here) 10. Paper Mario 2

Love hearing your tastes on RPGs, especially after seeing you almost exclusively cover Final Fantasy for a long time. This was a neat list, and you had some of my own favorites there as well, like Golden Sun and Baten Kaitos! I think it's a shame you avoid talking about FE Awakening due to the fandom, but I can understand it. Currently playing through Awakening for a third time after a long break from it, and I'm really enjoying it once again :) Some of my favorite non-Square RPGs are: Valkyria Chronicles: Does this count? Anyway, one of my favorite games period of all time, I think the combat system is so remarkably and delightfully unique and I haven't seen anything much like it in other games (except in instances where it was very poorly executed), and I fell in love with the characters and the world. Skies of Arcadia Legends: I've only ever played the Gamecube remake/enhanced port, but I love this game to pieces. Was excited to see you use some footage from it in the video. I hope you give this game a look soon, it's marvelous and wonderful on every single level, and it's a game I'll never forget! Most of the Fire Emblem series: this series has captured my heart since the first English release on the GBA. I love that game, as well as Path of Radiance, Awakening, and Shadows of Valentia, and I've even gone back and started playing some of the Japan-only titles thanks to fan translations. It's a wonderful series and I'm surprised most strategy RPGs follow the FF Tactics approach to gameplay, as I've found Fire Emblem to be exactly my style when it comes to this niche genre. Tales of Symphonia: I'm a baby when it comes to the Tales series, but I love Symphonia (the only game in the series I've beaten) to pieces. It's a little overlong, and has some late-game pacing issues, but it's a ton of fun, and I love the combat system, the characters, and the world. I have pretty much the entire series on my "to-play" list. Fantasy Life: This charming little game stole my heart from the moment I started playing it. It seemed to fly under the radar during its release year (I don't think I saw any end-of-year game lists include it), but me and my sister both love it to pieces. It's got a great multiplayer feature, allowing you to play it almost like a small-scale MMO with a couple of friends, and it has tons of customization options and a world that somehow manages to keep even the earliest areas relevant late into the game. The combat is super simple, and the often hilarious script also gets very wordy at times, but it's very charming and a great portable RPG. It also managed to make normally dull activities like fishing and mining ridiculously fun - it's the only game to this day that I actually both fishing in, as each fish is basically a combat encounter mixed with a mini-game, and there are even Boss fish that are super hard to reel in, all the while never relying on luck. Those are some of my favorites that I hope you'll give a look at some point in the future. I know you have a million games on your plate, and I'm glad you take your time and really go in-depth with them and make fantastic analytical reviews, so take your time going through them, and I hope that your task of playing so many games never grows too overwhelming. Keep up the great work you do, your videos mean a lot to me and I'm always excited to see a new discussion or review or list from you!

I utterly adored both of them, and am now really looking forward to diving into Xenoblade Chronicles X and 2. Terranigma is one of those games that's near and dear to me. I have fond childhood memories of staying up later than I was supposed to - playing it deep into the night. I'm currently replaying it at the moment for the first time in years. It still holds up, and should be spoken about with the same kind of reverence afforded to other classics of its time ( like FF6, Chrono Trigger, etc).

There's so many elements, big and small, that have stuck with me despite having not played it in many, many years. I adore seeing it even mentioned at any point possible, and whenever a subject comes up that's even tangentially related to it, I recommend it. One day, I will get an original copy (which is worth hundreds of dollars), but it's the only game I've bothered to get a reproduction cart for. And it sits, proudly, in the top center of one of my display shelves. I love Terranigma and everything about it, and it *NEEDS* to be played by everyone.

People already said it, and I will say it again: The legend of heroes series. The games really set a new standard for JRPG story telling and world building for me, and Im talking about a 14 year old series that is still going on today with 8 games and the 9th coming out this year. And I don't think any game developer will ever do what this series dose, because it financially probably makes no sense (9 games closely connected with maximum of a year passing in between each ark? ). It really shows that Toshihiro Kondo at Falcom wants to tell this story over making money, and such passion is rarely felt. Of course there are other great Falcom games such as Xanadu Next, Zwei: The Ilvard Insurrection and of course the Ys series (Ys 8 will come out on switch too). But as to not sound like a total Falcom shill, here are some of my favorite JRPGs: Radiant Historia, Xenoblade (Everything you said) Tales of Berseria (There is actual hope in the series after the mess that was Zestiria ) Disgaea (Really charming SRPGs) Valkyria Chronicles 1 (A fantastic battle system, all be it easily broke, and an emotional plot) Grandia 1 and Lunar (Childhood speaking but still a great game) Suikoden 2 (Finish it Mike... just finish it)

It has a unique battle system, a great cast of characters, an ever evolving set of events and has some truly emotional gut punches. I highly recommend it.

All JRPG Dubs from that time were absolute garbage, and you can go into options and turn voices down since it's subbed anyways. You still get music/sfx but without the voices. Beyond that, it's easily in my top 5 jrpgs of all time.

The gameplay and menus are a bit rough around the edges, but the story of the first one is great and takes place 3 years prior. A lot of references to the original are made in Suikoden 2, and you definitely need to have placed both of them to fully appreciate it.

Lost Odyssey - hands down the best by far. Distinctly varies characters, a whole set of different scenarios that almost made you feel what the character was feeling (Cooke fighting her way through the ice and snow immediately springs to mind). The writing and performance of the characters, particularly during battles really felt that they felt what they were doing with a passion. The way battles could be so difficult but still achievable in some situations but then the next you'd wipe the floor with the next bunch because of good preparation for that enemy type - it made you think about the various needs and abilities you needed to spread across the party whilst making sure you didn't come up weak against an enemy type. Little things like making sure you were prepared for one particular enemy that you had one strike against before it fled...just so much in there had me playing over and over again - I'm even tempted to go find it right now...

There is also the .hack collection, tales of berseria, which i am liking the story, star ocean till the end of time, valkyria chronicles with the 4th entry on the way all of these are on the ps4 and all genuinely good games.

Here are some other good ones you can check out though: Legend of Dragoon (PSX) - Enough people have recommended this one Xenosaga I, II, III (PS2) - The first 2 games are of varying gameplay quality, but the story is among the best ever told in video games. In the 3rd game, the storyline and gameplay are finally matched in quality. Lunar - The Silver Star Story Complete and Lunar - Eternal Blue Complete (PSX) - great characters, great story, good battle system, and tons of charm. There are remakes galore, but the PSX versions are the ones to go for.

I originally came across it through an Action Replay cartridge actually (this was before the remake and I wouldn't have been able to get a physical copy those are really expensive). I feel that it's as masterful as even Chrono Trigger, not even better. Like CT, not once did I come across the arduous JRPG trope of grinding. Every fight was satisfying to do, and the story usually continued at a very clean pace. It's an absolute tragedy that this game didn't get enough fame or credit since it came out late in the DS's lifespan and by a less famous publisher.

The Shin Megami Tensei series might be up your alley. The combat system, press-turn system, legitimately rivals that of most FF games. Most of the entries in the series also tend to lack the relatively slow introduction and anime tropes of its more popular spin-off series, Persona. I'd recommend SMT IV for 3DS or SMT: Nocturne for PS2 as the best starting points.

I saw your First Look at SMT IV, and I will say that the first part of the game is pretty slow (and brutally difficult, but that’s SMT), but it really picks up and is a lot of fun, in its own masochistic kind of way. Tales Of Berseria and YS VIII are also great, but they are action RPGs (they’re still really good though).
