Best jrpg you have ever played?

[dreama1]

As I mentioned in the recently completed thread: I now renounce Chrono Trigger as my #1 favorite JRPG of all-time, and place in that spot Golden Sun: Dawn Dawn for DS. Awesome & epic storyline, great characters, great music and charming graphics, and a great mix of battles of puzzle-elements. The puzzle-elements were really well done, too, as good as Zelda puzzles.

This is blasphemy!

I don't think I could narrow it down to just one, so here are a few all time favorites in no particular order.

Final Fantasy VI
Golden Sun (hm, maybe I should play part 2 and 3)
Final Fantasy Tactics
And although I never quite finished any of them, Shining Force and Fire Emblem games were enjoyable.

I am getting deeper into Bravely Default, and I love. I didn't play A LOT of jrpg to date, and I am wondering what I could play next. As of now, am simply astounded by the gameplay mechanics present in BD, the bravely and default modes to be more precise. I was thinking about starting over Chrono Trigger..
Can someone suggest what I should play next, looking at my collection? Feel free to suggest games that are not in there as well! Playing on My 3DS would be a plus! (No Spoilers Please.)

^ I still haven't been able to find a copy of the first Tales game on GameCube to play. And I'm neurotic, I HAVE to play the first game in a series, first.

Isn't Tales of Phantasia the first game of the Tales series? And that's available on the GBA (was a Super Famicom game originally).

Yes it is. Tales of Phantasia originally released for the Super Famicom in 1995. It has had plenty of re-releases and ports, but the only ones that have released in North America are the GBA version (which contained some improvements introduced by PS1 version we didn't get), and the iOS version.

Damn, guess I'll have to seek that one out, instead.

What's the point? Get the ps3 collection set. It includes it's sequel as well.

FINAL FANTASY X!!!!!!!!!!!!

Easily Chrono Trigger for me. The way the time travel elements affected every era was really cool and just spoke to sci-fi geek in me.

Other honorable mentions: Dragon Warrior IV, Golden Sun series, Legend of Legaia.

I should probably point out that I'm not that big into JRPGs.

I thought you liked King's Field a lot, that's a JRPG.

It may be technically Japanese made, but it's FAR from your traditional JRPG style game. It's more in-line with Arx Fatalis or Ultima: Underworld.

Phantasy Star IV and Ni No Kuni for me.

Phantasy Star IV and Ni No Kuni for me.

I will definitly play Ni No Kuni after I am done with Bravely Default.
