Sup /vr/ I'm looking to try out JRPGs from the 1980s to around the early 2000s. I've already played through Xenogears, Chrono Trigger, FFVIII and a few others, but I really want to try out a lot more. I don't care how famous the games are so long as they're good.
Legend of Dragoon, Brave Fencer Musashi, Legend of Legaia, not total Retro but Shadow Hearts too (get a PS2), Chrono Cross, etc

Play:
Panzer Dragoon Saga

Mother trilogy
Grandia (1st one)
Skies of Arcadia
FF VI
Phantasy Star IV
Paper Mario 1 & 2
Tales of Phantasia (ps1)
Tales of Symphonia (gc)
Lufia 2
Avoid:
Persona series

Suikoden series
Legend of Dragoon
Golden Sun series
Dragon Quest DS ports
-Lagrange Point (Famicom)
-Mouryou Senki Madara (Famicom)

-Emerald Dragon (Super Famicom)
If you know japanese or simply don't care:
Tengai Makyo/Far East of Eden series. Imo, Manjimaru is the best one.
Wild ARMs series.
Star Ocean 2.
What a great situation to be in, OP. There are so many great RPGs to experience. I would love to erase my memory of games to experience them all over again.

>>3395996
>calling people out on shitting up the place is some ancient reddited meme

Live-a-Live
>>3395534
1. Persona is the shit
2. Suikoden games are good
3. Ff9 is the best ff
Fuck you for telling op to avoid games. Just cause you hate them doesnt mean other people do
how's Tales of Legendia compared to Eternia?
>>3395518
Once you've gotten your feet wet a bit with some of the other games, and want something different:
Shin Megami Tensei
Final Fantasy Legend and Final Fantasy Legend 2 (the first two SaGa games, outside Japan)
SaGa Frontier 1 and 2
Dragon Warrior Monsters
Phantasy Star II and III (yes, most people don't like III, but it's an interesting game in terms of what it does. There weren't a lot of games that did a generational storyline around that time. Closest to that being Romancing SaGa 2 and Dragon Quest V)
>>3396386
Agreed about Persona. It took me a while to get in to each one (starting with 4 golden on back), but they're fantastic fucked games. No regrets at all.
Most of the good ones were already given, but one I never see mentioned is picrelated. I always loved this game, cool combat system, fun side quests, occasional difficulty, etc.
>>3395518
Chrono Cross
Breath of Fire 1-4
Theres a lot of good games to choose from in thread. Enjoy OP
>>3401140
I know man, im replaying p4g now. I dont get how anyone can enjoy jrpgs and hate persona or smt.
>>3401798
Hell yeah! +1
>>3395534
I don't like this post.
>>3395534
>Play Lunar
>Play Lufia 2
>but don't play Golden Sun
literally what
I mean I understand why people don't like the later FFs, since it became real fashionable and elitist to dislike them in the early 2000s, but what kind of complete pleb doesn't like Persona
>>3395534
>Avoid Suikoden series
>Avoid Persona series
>Avoid FFIX
I hope you're trolling. Either way, you're a faggot.
FFVIII is honestly better and more interesting than FFIX
>>3395534
>All FF's after VII
>Avoiding FFIX, the best written FF game
Full retard.

>tfw I know those are supposed to be eyes but all I can see is an Ass

Now I'm seeing it that way. Oh god...
>>3403321
It reminds me a lot of the assface people in southpark, especially when Kenny did this
>>3395980
Fuck off 8-4.
