For me it's The Witcher 3
Asher Hernandez
Because DS has a combat system with an engaging combat system and requires a modicum of skill.
Juan Flores
Justin Myers
It's still Chrono Trigger, user.

Nathan Bailey

Ryan Lee

Jacob Scott
Souls plays like a typical Japanese action game, in terms of both combat and level design, with stats tacked onto it. Its not a WRPG. Name one WRPG its similar to.
All those japanese Wizardry and Bards Tale clones are still JRPGs. Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest were inspired by WRPGs but are still JRPGs.
Dark Souls is a JRPG and its no question. JRPG doesn't mean what you think it does.
Jordan Williams

Dark Messiah, hell it plays more like Oblivion than any JRPG.
Asher White
>Medieval Europe - inspired setting
>Real time action instead of turn-based
>Realistic aesthetics and characters designs instead of anime aesthetics
>No anime tropes
>Magic system based on D&D's Vancian system
>Lore-based narrative which uses tis own cosmology system instead of the cliche evil empire -> evil church -> evil god used by JRPGs
Dark Souls is a spiritual successor of games like Baldur's Gate, Dark Messiah of Might and Magic Legacy of Kain and The Witcher; it has nothing in common with Japanese games.
The only Japanese thing about Dark Souls is its developer's country of origin.
Ethan Clark
Demon's Souls.

Ohhh He's getting warmer guys
Maybe he'll finally figure out what J means in JRPG.

This. Doesnt overstay its welcome. It's thematics is strong, its barely grindy, has strong character focused endgame sidequests that wraps up each character's subnarrative
And it just folds together nicely.
Lets not forget it does it all within 20 hours and has a killer OST.
I can only see a remake just bloating up the time to 50+ hours and killing what makes it so good.

HOT OPINION INCOMING:
The only Chrono Trigger version worth playing is the SNES one. The rest are worthless because they introduce a bunch of bloat and stupid shit with the sole purpose of linking it to Chrono Cross.
Julian Cook
None of that matters, also plenty of non-medieval and turn-based WRPGs.
>The only Japanese thing about Dark Souls is its developer's country of origin.
And all its game related influences. Ico, DQ, Zelda.
Luis Barnes
Dark Souls is more like Zelda than anything.
Juan Morgan
Literal brainlet
