In my opinion, I think Final Fantasy 13 is the best. But I want to hear what every one else thinks
What is the best JRPG?

FF10 was alright.
I'm not a fan of the genre however, so my opinion on the matter is pretty much pointless.

Final Fantasy 13 is.. the best FF in my personal opinion. 'First time I've ever engaged with an FF's characters and wanted to see what happens to them, instead of their just sort of... being there for the sake of the epic plot.
However, setting that aside, I'm torn between Suikoden 2, and Grandia, with Suikoden 5 as a near contender for character quality. But in quality of all aspects at once? Definitely Suikoden 2. Great characterisation, brilliant and original story, nice setting, three fun battle systems..

Well, if I had to pick the best, I'd be very hard-pressed between three 'Shin Megami Tensei' games, namely 'Lucifer's Call', 'Persona 3' and 'Persona 4'. If I had to choose, it would be 'Lucifer's Call'.
Here's why: you actually role-play. You can't customise your character's appearance and gender, which knocks down the role-playing aspect a bit, but you are able to choose how you level up and you have access to quite frankly a staggering amount of abilties. The plot basically involves the world getting blown up and three different people are having disagreements over how it should be put back together. You have a total of five possible endings (there's a bonus ending if you complete the Amala Labyrinth before ascending the Tower of Kagutsuchi).
Also, the turn-based combat is the best I've ever seen in a JRPG and it actually requires strategy and thinking two turns ahead rather than mashing X all the time with the occasional press of R1(I'm looking at YOU, 'Final Fantasy XIII').

I say Persona 4 is the best JRPG. It's the only game I've played that comes closest to being perfect. Every JRPG fan should at least try this masterpiece.
Well it's up in the air, because I'm playing Dragon Warrior IX right now and so far it's fuckin awesome.
Final Fantasy IV is the best. Lost Odyssey is great too. I just never got into chrono trigger to be honest...
Chrono Trigger is da byzinez. Never has it been more appropriate to name JRPG heroes after Dragon Ball Z characters.
"Best?" That's an impossible question to answer, you realize.
Personally, my favorite is still Tales of Symphonia, though I've yet to play one that I didn't like.

Well, I wouldn't say there is a best because it all comes down to personal preference, however, my personal favorites would be Golden Sun, Tales of Symphonia, and Final Fantasy VIII.
