Favourite JRPG, go!

4-way tie between Final Fantasy VI, Chrono Trigger, Secret of Mana and Chrono Cross.

These may or may not be encased in a diamond nostalgia barrier to prevent any and all ill feelings towards them, OR they are the greatest creations on the planet. Could go either way really.

 

[TheYellowCellPhone]

Pokemon Emerald.

BEST GBA GAME MADE.

Next to the Minish Cap, that is.

 

[Kennian]

Xenogears or Chrono Trigger

"Tales of Symphonia". My favorite game of all time. the story was great, the characters were great, the combat was great, the art style was...well you get it by now. Loved that game.

And in a VERY close second place (seriously, Tales of Symphonia only beat it due to nostalgia factor), is "The World Ends With You". That game was !@#$ing amazing. Deep, well layered story that's a blast to go through multiple times, really interesting characters, and a combat system so insane and fun that you actively WANT to get into fights for no other reason than because they are so fun. Everything about that game was top notch, and totally awesome. If you have a DS and have not played that game, DO SO PLEASE.

All time favorite here is Final Fantasy 3/6. It's probably the game I've sunk the most time into outside of Counter Strike and WoW.

My first game was Dragon Quest 3 in Japan- not sure if ever released here in the U.S.

 

[SageRuffin]

Resonance of Fate (End of Eternity in Japan), the only one I actually liked.

Mana Khemia for the PS2, BEST GAME EVER.

My first was Final Fantasy Mystic Quest, and I loved it when I was 5. It was also the first game I played to completion.

Mana Khemia is amazing. That game is so much fun.

My top three in no particular order are Ar Tonelico, Mana Khemia, or Valkyria Chronicles

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.

It's sort of a quirky game but I'm also a quirky person, so we sort of matched up well...I also have TtEoT, but could never really get into it...

Fire Emblem. Easily. I REALLY enjoy that game.

It just has this feel I really like. The characters are excellent too. My favorite is Soren.

First one to pop into my head? Digimon world 3. I've never been fond of JRPGs but I really liked the battle and digivolve systems in it.

Magna Carta is another one that comes into my head. although it's not a turn based JRPG I believe it can still qualify due to a good linear story that kept me playing.

Best game ever made. Everything about it is perfect in my opinion.

Even had this printed on the back of a hoodie because i couldn't afford the tattoo

Spoiler

First JRPG? God that was a while ago. Probably say FF8? (still my favourite ff bar FFX-2)

 

[penguindude42]

So much choices...

I'll go with MOTHER3 and FF5.

My first JRPG was Kingdom Hearts 2.

Radiata Stories.

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

Also, it's got quite a heart-wrenching story when you boil it down to it's essence...it's about a guy who leaves everything behind to follow his gal OR let's his love go to fight for his people...kind of a "damned if he does, damned if he doesn't' story.

Forgive my cheesiness.

 

[XxSummonerxX]

The World Ends With You.

Great soundtrack, complicated battle system, great soundtrack, a really good storyline, great soundtrack, a nice difficulty curve, a great soundtrack, interesting characters, a great soundtrack, aaaand... yeah...

 

[Fbuh]

I like to play JRPGs more for the story and characters than the actual gameplay. With that said, Fianl Fantasy 6 is my favorite, with Chrono Cross being the second.

 

[Mr.Mudkip]

My favorite is probably Persona 4, though I'm also partial to other SMT games.

 

[Stalydan]

Well up to now it's Persona 3 FES, though I DO have Persona 4 but I'd rather leave that until I've completed FES because I know the battle system is completely improved and I don't want to go back and play FES going "WHY CAN'T YOU BE LIKE THAT ONE!" which coincidentally P3P did but took out The Answer story.
