What's the best JRPG?

FFVII, unless you want to be contrarian.

Undertale

the last remnant, unless you want to be plebeian

"best" is entirely subjective.
Your thread is objectively shit though.

honestly?

Based on what, exactly?

There is no absolute best something. There can be something which excels than all the others in a specific area, but in everything? I think not.

For overall greatness, Chrono Trigger. Dragon Quest IV is also fantastic, but much more traditional.

/jrpg/ fag here.
FFVII is the best jrpg basically bar none, but in this generation can be 'slow' starting and also, the graphics might not be what you're used to.

If you want other good jrpgs FF is always a great place to start. Other great ones are IX, X, VI, III.

Best jrpg all time besides FFVII might be Earthbound or Chrono Trigger

Friendly reminder that square is making a new RPG to appeal to nostalgiafags and it appears to be taking a lot of inspiration from Chrono Trigger

The correct answer will always be DQ5.

If you disagree, you are wrong.

I don't think so, compadre. For a JRPG to be the best, it has to be the best in ALL AREAS. No flaw whatsoever, and does everything right.

You're right
Like Mother 2

>scripted final boss
>basically a cutscene

Nope.

Earthbound's quirkiness is the only thing it has going for it. The fact you think it is the top 3 JRPGs means being a /jrpg/ fag doesn't amount to much, fag fag.

I love me some Dragon Quest 8

He's probably lying but I want to try this out

This might be true. Bravely Default was Final Fantasy right down to the shitty Time Loop plot.

sounds like what someone who hasnt played earthbound would say.
