I cant do it. I'm not good enough of a critic to label the top ten of all time. I can only list the top ten I enjoyed playing the most, which isn't what you're looking for.

>Name the best 10 JRPGs of all time

Persona 4 Golden and P5 are one of the only JRPGs I bothered playing through.
Charles Wright
i dont know much about chinese games but I'd say dark souls and assasins creed origin should be on that list
Carson Long
Just wondering, do you really think someone will tell you the actual best jrpgs in a thread like this? or are you intentionally filtering out the people with >80 iq because you only want bad recommendations?

>Genius of Sappheiros
I never got to beat the final boss in that game, but damn was it a ride though
Mason Jenkins
it literally took me 8 years to beat the bonus boss
but yes the regular final boss is a dick too
Tyler Hall
I was listening to the soundtrack last month and nearly got me in the mood to replay it, kind of a shame the sequels, as far as I know, didn't get translated, but I think one of them got ported to Switch in Japan, hope it makes a return as a trilogy or some such
Jacob Campbell
Persona 4.
On an unrelated note: Persona 5 is complete garbage which ruined the series. If you like P5 you must be mentally impaired or a 12 year old cringe anime fan.
Jack Smith
Xenogears
Ar Tonelico 2
Tales of Symphonia
Dark Souls
Pokemon Crystal
Terranigma
Breath of Fire 3
Devil Survivor
Grandia 2
Chrono Cross
Xenoblade 2 would be on there if the last 3 chapters weren’t so rushed and the final scene wasn’t an unexplained asspull that contradicted all the prior build up.
Blake Perry
>Xenoblade 2 would be on there if the last 3 chapters weren’t so rushed and the final scene wasn’t an unexplained asspull that contradicted all the prior build up.
Have you not played the first Xenoblade?
John Long
I have
Xavier Morales
Mother 3.
Jose Richardson
Can I enjoy Genius if I've never played Touhou?
Carson Ramirez

Andrew Reyes
All eight Wizardries were made by American companies, though.
Zachary Cruz
No particular order:
Dragon Quest V

Camden Parker
What does Crystal have that HG/SS doesn't? I've never played it but I've played the original G/S as well as HG/SS.
Logan Walker
Dont hate me anons but which of this games have low amounts of combat/encounters? Want to play a jrpg that doesnt drag forever with repetitive stuff
Andrew Carter
HG/SS has the probably worst leveling curve in all of Pokemon.
Mason Edwards
Chrono Trigger
FF7
Grandia
FF6
Nier
Persona 4
The world ends with you
Suikoden 2
Skies of Arcadia
tales of symphonia
Cooper Wilson
I know, I just wanted to somehow include Wizardry in this thread.
Nathaniel Stewart
Ff7 and iirc Tales of series both have equipment and or items that lower encounter rate
Isaiah Harris
Never post your shit taste again.
Wyatt Gonzalez
Definitely agreein' with that one!
Joseph Baker
yes I think so
not like playing Touhou is a trails-tier commitment, each of those games can be beaten in half an hour
Charles Murphy
Riviera has no random encounters.
Xavier Bennett
Post your own tier list user, i will gladly tear your shit taste to pieces.
Nathan Turner
Yeah, it replaces them with something much worse. Dungeon screen gimmicks and QTEs.
Jeremiah Robinson
>The World Ends With You
be honest
that one should be all 10 slots
Lincoln Nelson
yeah after spending 300 hours practicing
trails is less of a commitment than touhou
James Mitchell
what's your favorite wizardry made by a japanese developer?
Jaxon Long
Good taste.
Dominic Sullivan
My TWEWY niggas. For me, it’s
1. TWEWY

8. Mother 3
9. FF7
10. SMT Strange Journey
Liam Morgan
Could you explain what specifically makes the gameplay of FFL2 and mother 1 enjoyable to you, rather than a tedious slog through a ton of uninteresting battles?
Camden Thomas
Based and motherpilled
Dylan Russell
Your list reminds me that I bought Dragon's Crown Pro on a whim and haven't played it for even an hour and also that I'd like to play Ar Tonelico again, I also need to play Berseria again but I find it hard to enjoy that battle system, is the story bad though?
Props for being the only one mentioning Lost Odyssey too, I could use a remaster of that shit
Dylan Cooper
>I also need to play Berseria again but I find it hard to enjoy that battle system, is the story bad though?
Berseria is pretty shit but story is the least of the game's problems despite still being only a bit better than godawful Zestiria. Braindead gameplay and especially the atrocious level and world design are the game's biggest problems that drag it down completely.
Jacob Clark
FFL is SaGa Frontier lite, I don't agree that it's a slog with mutants/mechs etc. having an interesting growth system you can play around a lot
Mother is serviceable gameplay wise, admittedly with the easy patch, but it named it for the stellar atmosphere, music and setting
Carter Hill
Wizardry Empire III. Made by the same devs (Starfish SD) that would later develop Elminage after they lost the license to Wizardry. Too bad Starfish is literally dead right now despite not being listed as defunct. They haven't put out a new game since 2015. I'm really worried. They're one of my favourite mid-sized AA Jap devs.
Grayson Clark
The creature design is Elminage is fascinating to behold.
