Favourite JRPG, go!

[Azure-Supernova]

My first was ashamedly Final Fantasy VII.

What's there to be ashamed about? It's a good game.

OT: Final Fantasy IX. No contest.

My first would probably be Pokemon Red. That's technically an RPG right?

Not that it's a bad game, that it took me so long to get into JRPGs! Because after I played VII I went back and explored and realised what I'd missed out on. I felt quite ashamed that in my earlier years I'd snorted at Final Fantasy.

 

[Azure Knight-Zeo]

Chrono Trigger, no contest. Runner-up would probably be Dragon Quest VIII.

 

[Nimzar]

Chrono Trigger is the only one that really ranks on my "Best Games that I've played" list. MegaTen games are pretty good too.

 

[an874]

Chrono Trigger, followed swiftly by Tales of Vesperia.

 

[Krinku]

Chrono Trigger or Persona 3 FES + 4.

 

[Wayneguard]

Final Fantasy IV. It is the definitive final fantasy game imo.

 

[Austin Howe]

Radiata Stories.

Really? I returned that to get Star Ocean: Till The End of Time. Y'know, a game with a GOOD battle system.

My personal favorite? Probably Final Fantasy VIII, but most of my favoerite games are JRPGs, so my preference for that is marginal.

 

[Rewold]

My first was FFVII and my favorite is FFVII. I'm a JRPG fan but haven't had that much diversity. Pretty much only FF and Pokemon. Though I'm playing Persona 3 at the moment and it's quite awesome.

 

[CaptainTrilby]

I'll do a top ten since I'm a big JRPG fan:
10. Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga
9. Golden Sun Dark Dawn
8. The World Ends with You
7. Tales of Symphonia
6. Paper Mario: TTYD
5. Lost Odyssey
4. Final Fantasy IV
3. Golden Sun: The Lost Age
2. Skies of Arcadia Legends
1. Tales of Vesperia

 

[TheSupremeForce]

The Disgaea series. I'll go with 3 if I have to be that specific.

 

[Zhadramekel]

The World Ends With You. It's the only one I've really played that I can think of. Don't know if Final Fantasy counts and I only played a little a that anyway so it doesn't matter.

 

[Executor78]

Lunar and Lunar 2. Okay maybe not the originals, but the Playstation reboots from the 2000's (you know the ones with great graphics, voice acting, and anime cut-scenes).

 

[FinalHeart95]

Final Fantasy IV and Lost Odyssey, probably, for a more "traditional" JRPG experience. Overall, though, has to be Kingdom Hearts. The first one. Second was really good too, but the first just slightly edges it out.

 

[loc978]

I'm having a very hard time choosing. Final Fantasy VI, Chrono Trigger, Phantasy Star IV, Earthbound or Star Ocean(1, first departure, whatever. I first played it as a fan translation)... dammit...

 

[Twilight_guy]

Kingdom Hearts came to mind first. Funny how half of that franchise is actually America cartoon characters. The first JRPG I played was Pokemon.

 

[Fiz_The_Toaster]

Pokemon was my first JRPG so I'm going with that. After that?

Golden Sun
Chrono Trigger
Suikoden
FFXIII
Demon's Souls

 

[Stealthygamer]

Tie between P4 and KH2

 

[KingCrInuYasha]

Chrono Trigger
Most of the Mario RPGs
Final Fantasy's IV, V, VI and VII
Earthbound
Golden Sun

 

[Fidelias]

Golden Sun.

Because so far it's the only one I've really gotten into, though I've been giving it a hiatus that needs to be solved.

Man, those games were great. The first two I mean, the last one was a little meh.

So my favorite, probably between Golden sun and Persona 3. I loved Persona 3 for it's interesting storyline and awesome characters, but Golden Sun has some of the best music in it and the battles were awesome. So... It's a tie.

My first JRPG, probably going to go with Pokemon Blue, like the others.

I remember playing pokemon on the giant gray brick gameboys... Anyone remember these?
