[@XBC3-4GOTY]

My Favorite JRPG on the Switch are: 1. Persona 5 Royal 2. Persona 4 Golden 3. XenoBalde Chronicles 3 4. XenoBlade Chronicles Definitive Edition 5. Fire Emblem Three Houses All of These Games are in My Top 10 VideoGames and of All Time

[@femto9838]

Solid list to be honest, but i think its missing Trails from Zero and trails to Azure. Honestly i wonder how far Unicorn Overlord would have made it into this list. What an amazing game.

[@feliiiciiiano]

Unicorn Overlord just came out so it probably didn't make it to the list as of writing.

[@estebanduarte5051]

No Shin Megami Tensei III Nocturne, 13 Sentinels, or Unicorn Overlord?

[@KenjiKussano]

Awesome vídeo!

[@aramisarecius]

No chained echoes? D:

[@kermitwithamustache3885]

You are so real for putting NEO The World Ends With You in here, one of the best JRPGs of the generation and like only 7 people know it even exists

[@dclan9813]

Add me for number 8th 😂

[@badmeetsevil6163]

So you put FF7, FF10 & FF12 but where’s FF9???

[@espacemaxim]

True, puts the whole list in question!

[@KensaiArsenal7]

Solid list but the ranking for Octopath Traveler II is waaaay too low.

[@akemal4724]

good lists

[@videoforhobbie7588]

Octapath is on pc too

[@nicholaslawson2122]

And Xbox

[@ShenMerrick]

I truly wish the Xenoblade games would come to PC...but Nintendo don't seem to want practically free money.

[@ragdenotyel8463]

Atelier Ryza should be there too

[@jericalmoradie2752]

You have sea of stars but no star ocean? 🤔

[@kewa_design]

Yeah ofc Star ocean is DS

[@luizfellipemariano1515]

Triangle Strategy is amongst the best games I ever played.

[@jupiterdreamer]

the top 5 is spot on

[@XBC3-4GOTY]

Disagree DQ11 is overrated and XenoBlade Chronicles Definitive Edition Should’ve been in the Top 5

[@BizonURS]

@@XBC3-4GOTY DQ i miles better than any Xenoblade .. actually DQ 11 is easily no 1

[@XBC3-4GOTY]

@@BizonURS nope 👎

[@dinand28]

​@@XBC3-4GOTYyes it is

[@IMACOOKHIM]

​@@XBC3-4GOTYJust say you've never played Dragon Quest 11. Your missing out it would be number 1 on your list no cap 🧢

[@bigge2win]

No Nier automata?

[@bielsho]

Octopath Traveler is Available on Xbox one and series too

[@Mr.Chimpazee]

Can it play on the go 😂

[@user-nc7qh6ng2w]

no trails? 😢

[@veespa_]

HUGE agree, Zero and Azure are must plays. I bought all of CS & Reverie on PS5 since CS 1 & 2 aren’t on Switch, but it immediately became my favorite series of all time.

[@user-nc7qh6ng2w]

Same, other jrpg's haven't been the same after playing the kiseki games

[@chrlieadhd]

I seriously don't get why '25' if there are like 3 games of the same franchises several times

[@diamondjim311272]

Star Ocean: Second Story R???

[@wesin_]

True

[@Jaypags30]

where is YS?

[@jteneb]

No monster hunter rise?

[@kewa_design]

Monster Hunter, despite it beeing a in Japan developed RPG, is not considered to be an JRPG and also not defined by the genre

[@Cakalank]

​@@kewa_design its literally a jrpg and is defined as one by every community. Its just weird he didnt put it on the list.

[@kewa_design]

@@Cakalank no one calls monster hunter a JRPG 😂 sorry but I've been in the community since the first Monster Hunter game... no one ever called MH a JRPG. I arent aren't a JRPG just because u are made in Japan and defined as a RPG 😅

[@jteneb]

@@kewa_design What? Now you’re gonna tell me that Dark Souls is not a JRPG? Get out of here! 🤣

[@kewa_design]

@@jteneb Dark souls is not a JRPG wtf, it's an Action RPG

[@darklordyianni4463]

....its not xclusive(OT)

[@redkenpachi4748]

There is no way sea of stars is better than octopath traveller 2

[@kewa_design]

I Rank it a bit Higher AS well, its way less tedious

[@alannhingrai9632]

I disagree but not for many reason. My brain says you re right but my Heart says bullshit

[@alannhingrai9632]

Ff 12> ff 10> ??? Wtf dude sure WE played thé same games ?????

[@badmeetsevil6163]

And FF9 ain’t even there…

[@jtgamer-nintendo-xbox]

21 is not a jrpg 6 is not a jrpg

[@XBC3-4GOTY]

DQ11 is Overrated and XenoBlade Chronicles Definitive Edition Should’ve Been in the Top 5

[@truepatriot3768]

I say exactly opposite , I love dragon quest 11 & found xeno boring

[@Cloikkk]

Nah, Dragon Quest 11 is one of the best jrpgs ive played in the last 5-7 years. Xenoblade is fine, but dq11 is just too good

[@BizonURS]

The amount of boring side quests in xenoblade is ludicrous…

[@onmywayto974]

I'm glad someone else out here knows how overrated DQ11 is. I tried to get into that game two times but man it's so boring and the characters are predictable. The musical score is weak as well. I got to the port level with the kid who lost his voice and I just lost interest. I ended up giving it to my brother in hopes he can enjoy it. I think the standards are low nowadays. I'll even say the same that Sea of Stars is overrated. Except I stuck to that one and beat it. It was ok, but it wasn't anything spectacular. I agree with the majority of his picks, but I'm surprised Ys 8 is not on here.

[@claudiegarnier4560]

Agree ! Xeno 3 was the most boring rpg i have ever played and it was long af...
