Best "Non Final Fantasy" JRPG Ever?

[balanovich]

Persona, Persona, Persona, Persona, Persona.

What is so great about persona? I've heard a lot about it, always good reviews. But wen I read the description it seems like nothing more than playing highschool ?
what's the thrill ?

The world ends with you.

One of the best JRPGs and games of all time.

Legend of Dragoon

It's been ages since I last played but I loved the hell out of that game as a kid.

Damn, got ninja'd.
Yeah, same here. I can't find a copy anywhere, and when I do come across one, it costs £45 or more. One of them was £135.99

Shows you how sort after this game is/rare it is/awesome it is that people will only part with it for a ridiculous amount of cash.

Legend of Dragoon

It's been ages since I last played but I loved the hell out of that game as a kid.

damn i got it cheap, US$15 it is the only jrpg that i could follow the storyline as a kid, the gameplay is unique and, despite being turn based, is very immersive because of the additions system. unique worlds, unique enemys. charactors need some work but what didnt back in PS1 land.

another candidate id say is Sudeki but im not certain it is really a jrpg, it sure looks like one

Mother 3.

seriously, just thinking about the plot gets me a little teary-eyed.

 

[caeka]

Grandia 2 is probably the best I've ever played. Brilliant combat...

 

[Gildedtongue]

Suikoden II.

 

[Blizzarded Soul]

Lost Oddysey for me, had a good story and interesting characters.

 

[Darktau]

Skies of arcadia / Lost Odyssey

 

[Dragoon]

Definately Dragon Quest

 

[Raykuza]

Castlevania! Am I really the first to say Castlevania? C'mon guys, where my Belmonts at?

 

[OceanRunner]

Easily Kingdom Hearts, closely followed by Breath Of Fire IV, Dark Chronicle, and Rouge Galaxy.

 

[feeback06]

Chrono Trigger

 

[Marsell]

Disgaea 2 Dark Hero Days
YOU WILL FLIP YOUR SHIT!

I really like Persona 3/4, so in my opinion they are the best JRPGs, try them sometime.

 

[KarumaK]

Mega-Man 'Fuckin' Legends.

 

[GeneticallyModifiedDucks]

Persona, Persona, Persona, Persona, Persona.

Persona 4 to be precise.
