The Switch's RPG library is absolutely nutty. It's crazy that so many of these are console exclusive, as well. I'd go as far to say that it's the first console since gaming went HD to have a library that can go toe to toe with PSone and PS2

[@Elazul2500]

Fun fact, I sold my copies of Grandia 1 and 2 on PS1/PS2 a loooong time ago and immediately regretted it. I ended up ordering them on eBay, only for the Switch versions to be announced three days later. 😅

[@alexiere]

Switch and 3DS/DS are JRPG heaven. There are so many incredible titles...loved every single title. My favorite for 3DS is Dragon Quest VII and Switch is Xenoblade Chronicles 2.

[@radicalbyte]

Octopath I/II, Ni no Kuni, Live a Life, Nier automata, Tactics Ogre, Tales of Symphonia, Tales of Arise, DQ11, Star Ocean, Baton Kaitos, FF1-12, Chained Echoes, Sea of Stars, Ys Origin, Vs 8, Persona 3/4/5, Trials of Mana, Knights of the Old Republic.. just to name the obvious..

[@radicalbyte]

It's a crazy machine, the fact that I watch half a dozen youtubers who are also super diverse just shows you the depth of the RPG game on the Switch. Best console ever for me.

[@belindaj1953]

I agree, Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is amazing. I prefer DQ8 though.

[@sharebear421]

Xenoblade 1 for me but dq8 is amazing and 11 feels like a new age dq8

Man I love Bravely Default 2, Adelle as a monk is one of the most beautiful designs for a character I can remember, all of her jobs looked great but something about how elegant she looks in the monk outfit is just perfect. Switch has been an absolute treasure trove of jrpgs. We have been blessed the last few years.

Riiight? Adelle had SO many great outfits. Besides Monk, I also loved Red Mage and Phantom on her. Just dazzling. ⭐_⭐

It always amazes me how close the Xeno series has come throughout its lifespan to simply not existing. All the way back to Xenogears, these games have been fighting uphill just to survive, and now Xenoblade is an absolutely essential Nintendo property. Cannot wait to see what Takahashi comes up with next.

[@honeybutter8257]

glad someone appreciating harvestella, it was a really good game tbh, the story is fantastic and every single place you visit is amazing, i also liked all the characters, the job system, and the simple yet addicting action rpg combat, the seasons changing, the farm and crafting just adds even more fun progression systems, and even after finishing it last year, i still remember this game and feel this sort of feeling that i need to go harvest my stuff

[@Testiskulls]

David you handsome devil, thank you for acknowledging Grandia and SMT! Grandia abdolutelynl deserves to be in this spot, and nowadays is mostly unknown. Lost to time. Though it's tragic you haven't included Baten Kaitos on this, I would of swapped out Pokemon. Awesime vid!

I've only just gotten a switch, so very intrigued to see your suggestions for some JRPGs. Always such a great time checking out the content and getting the insight to someone's opinions and views on this wonderful topic. The fact that your passion and love for this genre shines through so bright is also a very good sign as you want to expose people to many amazing games. I do want to get my hands on the Grandia Remastered Collection. I remember playing the first one on PS1 when I was a kid, and want to see if the memories I have of the game hold up (also due to not remembering if I finished it, do that as well lol). Harvestella has caught my eye since I seen it first showed off. Super Mario RPG has got to be my favorite RPG on the SNES - even with the amount of them. Would love to see a sequel to this game. There are just so many incredible JRPGS on the Switch, and you truly did justice on these 10. Thank you for all the effort and time you put into your content, and for the amazing suggestions. Have a great day, and see you on the next one. #Roadto75k

[@fffan11]

I need a Bravely Default 3 now! Those games are very much FF3 and FF5 branching out from the mainline series and creating their own series of games.

[@domfabio8850]

They also did Final Fantasy The 4 Heroes of Light on the DS, which is basically a prototype for the Bravely/Octopath series'. Team Asano never fails to amaze me... if you exclude their mobile games ofc.

[@grey_wulf]

Hi David! Working my way through Bravely Default 2 and it reminds me old school FF games. Absolutley loving it. XBC3 is also waiting on my game shelf for a playthrough. And now Unicorn Overlord releasing soon..So many games, you know? Thanks for another stellar video, and have a blessed day!

[@brichan1851]

Your channel is fantastic. This video was a joy to see. All of them are. I love my Switch and couldn’t agree more. I have 7/10 of the games (series) you listed. I agree with you, mostly. It’s just hard to pick a TOP 10 when there are so many wonderful games to choose from. Crisis Core would have made my list. I am also a fan of I Am Setsuna, Oninaki, Lost Sphere, Live A Live, Octopath Traveller (I and II), Trials of Mana (in Collection and the remake), Legend of Mana, Star Ocean First Departure and The Second Story R, the Romancing SaGa series, and Chrono Cross. Let us not forget all of the actual Final Fantasy games out there (Pixel Remasters, VII, VIII, IX, X/X-2, XII, XV Pocket Edition). And don’t you DARE forget all of the Dragon Quest games! 😉 Yes, I am a SquareEnix boy. Then, there are the Disgaea games and Rhapsody Marl Kingdom Chronicles, along with the other Prinny Presents games. Others would include Persona (3 Portable, 4 Golden, and 5 Royal), Super Robot Wars (series), Baten Kaitos I and II Remaster, .Hack HD Remaster. And of course Chained Echoes and Sea of Stars! Oooo, what about the Shadowrun games and Baldur’s Gate I and II? There’s even Baldur’s Gate Dark Alliance I and II! Let’s not forget Star Wars Knight of the Old Republic I and II. Also, South Park The Stick of Truth and The Fractured But Whole! Anno Mutationem, Astria Ascending, and Indivisible, Tunic, Guardian Tales, Tales of Symphonia and Vesperia, Blossom Tales I and II, Trigger Witch, Trinity Trigger, Bastion and Hades. The Witcher and Skyrim, Bayonetta and the Lost Demon, Children of Morta, Child of Light, Valiant Hearts, Cosmic Star Heroine. Delta Rune ( if it ever gets finished) and Undertale. Earthlock, To the Moon… That’s not all. There are so many more games to love. Narrowing it down to 10 is just impossible for me. Still, I loved your video and your list. Thank you for all the work you do! ❤❤❤❤

Huge Switch (and JRPG) fan. We’re spoiled for choice on the Switch. Looooove Xenoblade Chronicles, Bravely Default II, Fire Emblem Engage, SMT V. Great list and great series.

[@leolightfellow]

The glaring issue here is Pokemon Scarlet/Violet, and it's part of a bigger change/problem that's happened with game makers and game reviewers. To put it simply, I have no doubt that if Chrono Cross came out today and had the Pokemon name attached to it, David would say something like "Its story isn't great, but it's light. It's fun. It's charming. A turnip can join your team, and he's so cute. How could I not like this game?" After Arceus's buggy launch and Sword/Shield's empty buildings/towns, people's expectations for Scarlet/Violet were very low. After Chrono Trigger, people's expectations for Chrono Cross were very high. But this isn't just the case with Pokemon and Chrono games. As games have gotten worse, people's expectations have lowered, and now their standards are lower too. I've talked about this before, how back when Final Fantasy 8 came out we all criticized it for its dumb plot twist and stuff, but if it came out now we would be praising Square-Enix for fixing all the glitches before release and calling it a masterpiece. People's standards have just lowered over time, and not just David's. This is the sort of widespread thing that people like Daryll Talks Games or Razbuten could do a 30 minute video essay about. Even some of the specifics in this video about Scarlet/Violet don't hold up. The video says you get a lot for your money because Scarlet/Violet is such a large game, but it's really not. People finish doing everything in Scarlet/Violet after about 50 or 60 hours. Even the hardcore Pokemon fans will tell you there just isn't that much to do in Scarlet/Violet, especially compared to previous Pokemon games or other jrpgs. And the "bang for your buck" comment should also take the $70 price tag into account... I don't really care about the specifics of this game tbh. I'm just posting this paragraph in preparation for any bad faith attacks from the portion of Scarlet/Violet fans that are rabid. Anyway, the rest of the video is good. I still like David and everything. I'm still subscribed. No need to flip out. Like I said, this change/problem is prevalent across the board. It's just something to take into account whenever anyone talks about new games or about old games.

[@Shinky]

I'm sure I'm sounding like a broken record at this point, but we NEED a bravely collection on the switch! With all the Team Asano games on this list its a no brainer I loved this list though, every game on it is a banger! Great list David!

While i understand why people didn't like the gacha system, i love it and i think it's one of the main reasons why XC2 is easily the most replayable in the series.

[@NeoSonicStrike]

I don't have a switch but I've been tempted to buy one just to play the Xenoblade Chronicles games, they look really great. Even though I haven't played them I stumbled upon the magical music this series has, I listen to tracks from some of the OST's and it has some of the best compositions out there, I'd even put them up there with some of the great Falcom titles like Ys, Trails and Tokyo Xanadu. Cool list though, the switch looks like a formidable system for RPGs.

[@-lord1754]

No way people are putting ANY pokemon game on their best switch rpgs list

[@domfabio8850]

Yup, and it pains me to see just how objectively awful the series has become. It was my favourtie series for the longest time growing up, but the Switch era of Pokemon has been a dumpster fire and proves that they're made by lazy greedy people who don't care about quality what so ever cause they sell extremely well regardless.

[@xthatwhiteguyx]

My issue with the Switch is the input delay. It makes any game that relies on quick button presses just impossible, for me. It's great for turn based RPG's and cozy-genre games, though. I got all 3 Xenoblade games for only $50 from Gamestop a few months ago. Haven't had the chance to start them yet, but pretty excited for them.

I was finally _just about_ to dive in head first on SMT V, they announce Vengeance… I’m thinking I should wait, but if anyone disagrees let me know! I’ve got enough on my backlog to wait; right now I’m trying to decide on Persona 4 vs. Like a Dragon vs. Star Ocean 2 HD… choice paralysis struck and I spent the night playing Mario Odyssey 😅

[@knivesoutcatchdamouse2137]

Definitely absolutely 100% wait for Vengeance. I personally have felt awful since they announced it because I bought the SMTV bundle with all the dlc last year for like $70, and hadn't gotten around to playing it. I had heard it was really good if you liked the SMTV games but then, after I finally bought it, everything I saw about it later was just saying how poorly it runs and how bland it feels due to the lack of story and environmental variety. Now Atlus is releasing their "fixed" version, like they always do with their games after several years, and I can either play a subpar version I got suckered into buying or I can pay another 60 or 70 dollars to finally play the "definitive" version of the game 😂 I'm not salty though 💀

[@veespa_]

@@knivesoutcatchdamouse2137 Yeah, that’s the thing, I’m in the _exact same boat_ as you! I bought the game (I think on sale? Maybe not though…) and the DLC, so I felt along the same lines as you… but if the game is going to be THAT much better, I’ve got more than enough to tide me over until then … _sigh_ the woes of modern gaming, huh?!

The main complaint I get about the Switch is that, being weaker than other consoles, the SW versions can sometimes run worse in order to accommodate for the hardware. And while that's totally fair... I'd say that if the SW versions run well, there is next to no reason to get any other version.

[@syn3232]

Great work like always man. Thank you. Know what I’m hating about Atlus and their series though? 1st version releases and then complete version releases of their titles. It would be so much better if you could just sell everything through DLC and then when you want to sell a complete title just do it as buying the game with all dlc and updates. Look at P5 and P5R. That was the most ridiculous thing ever. I gotta buy the whole second release to play through the whole complete story? Trophies? + going through the whole grind all over again? Thank god I did not purchase SMTV. And I ain’t even know they were gonna pull the stunt off either. Def going for Vengeance now that I’m certain it will be a complete version though, but waiting on a sale due to its difficulty and grinding though. Want to play P3R so badly as well, but I know they will come out with a better more complete version in about a year or 2; so why bother?

[@knivesoutcatchdamouse2137]

I am so annoyed that I bought the bundle with all the dlc last year. And never even got around to playing it 😂 I was always hearing good things about it until after I bought it; then everything I read or heard was negative other than the fact that the underlying battle system was good. Practically non-existent story, very little environmental variety, poor performance. Now my dilemma is whether I should restrain myself and accept that I own a somewhat subpar version of a game that had a lot of potential (which I may never get around to a tally playing because of that), or do I shell out another 60 or 70 bucks in a few months and just consider the original purchase a very expensive lesson in the virtues of patience.

I don't have a Switch (my significant other does, but I've only ever played Mario's Picross on it), but the main complaint seems to be that it's not a powerful system, and... well, okay, but powerful hardware will NEVER compare to a solid library; just ask the SEGA Master System. The Switch seems like it'd be perfect for these kinds of RPGs, because they aren't nearly as demanding to run.

Who are you going to knock off of this list to fit Unicorn Overlord?

[@alejandrosunshadow6041]

I'm surprised to see how our lists are so different. Not dragon quest, not ys... Good list anyways. I should try to get harvestella seeing how high you value it

[@davidvinc]

I included both of those on the PS4 and PS5 lists, and I didn't want any overlap - be sure to check out those lists in the video description too! :)

[@alejandrosunshadow6041]

@@davidvinc oh! I don't own those systems so i didn't watch those videos xd. I understand now anyways

[@andrewmorden9528]

honestly if you don't like cutscenes why would you play an RPG lol just my opinion though

[@Jack-nj9pi]

#9 is the reason I bought my switch. Xenoblade is too much to get into lol

[@bandrew1442]

Super Mario RPG is so much better than it has any right to be lol I'm glad the remake has introduced it to a new audience cuz it is an all time great.

Noooo you've sold out to Payrium!!! Only kidding, guys gotta pay the bills. Love the content as ever!

[@davidvinc]

Gotta get that bag while I can! lol

[@Dynastybladeb]

Harvestella 🙌🙌🙌🙌

[@OvrlordEtna]

I wanted to love Triangle Strategy, however the character/party progression was very lacking and I am personally not a fan of the HD2D outside of Octopath. Bravely Default 2 though was excellent.

I hate the Switch for holding games I'd like to play hostage for years like SMT 5. I absolutely refuse to buy third parties on that shitty system, period, and I'm vindicated as SMT5 is finally coming to PC.

[@eliotwildermann]

[@joncarroll2040]

Final Fantasy VI...

[@fenrirsreign]

I couldn't bring myself to play Pokemon Violet/Scarlet, these new-gen Pokemon just don't have an appeal to me. Rest of the list is great though.
