Persona, Persona, Persona, Persona, Persona.
And don't forget, MegaTen series...as a whole.
^This, seriously why is everyone bothering to still post after this gets put up? XD

I kid, but yhea the persona series are my favs. Along with disgaea.
Disgaea really isn't a 'JRPG', it's a SRPG or TRPG.
:D
Wait it isn't? So is final fantasy tactics a jrpg? Whats a SRPG/TRPG? Are you making this up?:O

The second generation Pokémon games. That would be Gold, Silver, and Crystal.
That. Especially since they introduced the most badass pokemon there is: Houndoom.

In case my avatar isn't enough to tip you off...




From the magic system, the way attacks worked, the way Limit Breaks were changed from a super attack to something inherent in equipment (extra dimension to strategy), the excellent puzzles, the amazing music, and, most importantly, a truly epic story finished with the best ending Ive ever seen in a videogame. It remains the one game that managed to pull of a plot twist (that wasn't just an ass-pull) that I didn't see coming.
email to me ur gam so i remeber to check it out later dude. it sounds great!

Yes, FFT = S/TRPG or Strategy Role Playing Game or Tactics Role Playing Game.

It has to do with how you play the game, the way the battle system is made really.

The defining trait is the battle system? Not the fact that they are Japanese role playing games? Doesn't that sound a little backwards?

Bah, arbitrary terminology sucks. I'm gonna call them.........uh.......I don't know.

It's the same with First-Person-Shooters or 4X games.
Just because a FPS is made in Japan doesn't mean you call it a JFPS or if you have an Action/Adventure (A/A) game you don't call it a JA/A (for Japan) or an AA/A (for America) or an EA/A (for Europe).

JRPGs tend to be VERY Japanese.
They reference or are set in very Asian environments with stories and battle systems that fit a certain 'Japanese way' of thinking and acting.
The characters also tend to look like they're Asian.

Chrono Trigger.

The Persona series is great, but there's something timeless in how the two Chrono games are presented.

Not an easy call for me.
