How nice for you. I discovered the Trails series ages ago (Sora no Kiseki FC) and have a love-hate relationship with it. (I hated grinding, especially on those white fluffy things, so very very much) I also have piss poor memory size and decided the game is not worth playing until the saga is complete.

Funny enough my favorite JRPG is something that a lot of people don't know about or can't find anymore. The split I have for absolute favorite is between Threads of Fate and Legend of Dragoon. Both I first came across back in 1999, and I still play them on my PlayStation today. I've bought 3 original PlayStation systems just to continue playing those games.

Grandia I and II should be mentioned, although I am not familiar with the PC remastered versions.

[@Dhalin]

Grandia 2's looks fine (never played it myself on PC)... Grandia 1's is OK. Not perfect, but OK. They applied a sprite smoothing effect and some minor graphics glitches occur (like in battles, the characters' faces near their HP bars have pure black soulless eyes that is a little creepy and the occasional black line here-and-there in some sprites). But otherwise the game runs fine.

[@SymeonPhronema]

They're on sale often on Steam, and GOG. Check out Octopath Traveler, Trails in the Sky, and Trails of Cold Steel. Octopath isn't on GOG, but all the rest (and Octopath) are on Steam, and GOG. You can get the first Trails in the Sky game for 10 bucks, and it's very very worth it. Though be warned all the games I've recommended are turn based JRPGs cause that's what I like :) Edit : Also a shameless plug for Draqon Quest XI. It's still a little expensive but it's GOTY material imo. Game is outstanding, and absolutely recommend it.

[@CBZero]

Glad to see Trails series on this list

[@helloken]

I feel like Nier Automata was missing, though I have heard the horror stories of the PC version...

[@ApexPredatorWithSungGlasses]

Berseria is far better than Vesperia. You get to play a female protagonist whose whole motivating factor is vengeance. And the whole story is polar opposite of Vesperia's cliche. Also probably one of the few times on JRPGs where you get to play as a morally gray.

[@SamantaGothic]

To me Vesperia was superior. I liked the combat, story and chars much more. Berseria was decent it was defo better than Zestiria.

[@sneekolas]

Berseria couldn't keep my interest but Vesperia did

However, she 'was' turned off by isometric point and clicks and now she's addicted to Path Of Exile haha.

Trails of Cold Steel is really worth to try. YES I bet many turned off because of the visuals and graphic for CS 1 and 2. Let me tell you, you will get hooked and ignore the visuals in future. I spent 100 hours for each game. There are Cold 1 2 3 4. If you not picky or completionist you can finish the game in shorter time, but if you like any JRPG fan you spend so much time, no, LOOOOOONG TIME to finish. Let me tell you bad news, Trails games are basically connected to each other. However, You can start and enjoy the game from CS 1. It's fine. You can go back without worrying so much of spoilers. However some dude will say it is okay start on CS 3 because of better graphics and you can read the lore online. I disagree. Why you even play games if you didn't even bother to care about the lore especially RPG. You'll missed a lot like so much. Starting from CS3 is like drinking coffee that watered down a lot.
