So far, um… I’m playing a 90’s fantasy anime and it’s wholesome as shit.

    One of the better JRPGs ever done.

    Follow up Lunar 1+2 with Suikoden 1+2, then Golden Sun 1+2.

    (Optional) Phantasy Star 1-4.

    After that, you really don’t need to play any other JRPG.

        But really, how could you forget Lufia 1&2?

      Lunar is up there with FF 4 and 6 and Chrono. Likely best 4 retro rpgs that exist.

      Breath of Fire 3 is also an excellent, timeless JRPG

      As usual, Star Ocean: Second Story gets overlooked (they did do a great job with the remake though).

      You’re also leaving out the entire SMT/Persona series, but I guess it’s not everyone’s cup of tea.

        Persona is a sore subject for me because they ruined the original North American localization.

        “So when you finish a random encounter, you can gain experience, or harvest souls!”

        “Polling says Americans don’t like random encounters.”

        “Oh, that’s easy to fix, reduce random encounters 50%”

        Which made it so you either couldn’t get enough experience or harvest enough souls. :(

        They also removed the Snow Queen quest for some reason:
